Critical Node Analysis for Water Distribution System Using Flow Distribution
<p>The expansive nature of water distribution system makes them susceptible to threats such as natural disasters and man-made destructions. Vulnerability assessment research efforts have increased since the passing of “Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act” in 2002 to harden WDS. This study …

Raindrop size distribution
… and study the impact of changes in raindrop size distributions (DSD) on the fixed terrestrial microwave links as a result of an increase in the incidence of heavy rain in the United Kingdom over this decade. Also to introduce an increasing trend in rain rates associated with outage. The daily DSD …

Clock distribution network techniques
Clock distribution networks are essential to synchronous systems. The design of these networks affects the system performance dramatically and sometimes determines whether the chip can function properly or not. This thesis first describes in detail how a synchronous system works. Based on the …

Computing stationary distribution locally
… walks to sample states from the stationary distribution, as in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). However, these approaches lack clear guarantees for convergence rates in the general setting. When the state space is prohibitively large, even algorithms that scale linearly in the size of the …

Contact Pressure Distribution Optimization
… that is used to optimize contact pressure distribution was introduced and investigated. The primary objective of this design tool, called the Predicted Displacement Method, was to provide a calculated contact surface shape alteration of a contact body that induces a uniform contact pressure …

The negative binomial distribution
… literature dealing with the negative binomial distribution. An account of the forms of the distribution is presented. This includes compound, limiting and truncated forms and examples of their occurrence. Parameter estimation is treated in a few specific cases. In particular, the inverse …

Simplified "moment distribution method"
Moment Distribution Method was modified so that simple techniques applicable to symmetrical and anti-symmetrical frames may be applied to non-symmetrical rigid frames consisting of prismatic members. This approach simplifies considerably the calculations. Using the above approach, two different …

The gamma distribution as an alternative to the lognormal distribution in environmental applications
… sites the positively skewed lognormal distribution has been the most commonly used model. The upper confidence limit (UCL) of the arithmetic mean of a lognormal population is computed by using the H-statistics. Recent concerns have arisen to the effectiveness of the H-Statistic based …

Cumulative Distribution Networks: Inference, Estimation and Applications of Graphical Models for Cumulative Distribution Functions
… for directly representing the joint cumulative distribution function (CDF) of many random variables, called cumulative distribution networks (CDNs). Unlike graphical models for probability density and mass functions, in a CDN, the marginal probabilities for any subset of variables are obtained …

On-line liquid distribution chromatographic/spectrofluorometric determination of PAH distribution in coal-derived products
On-line HPLC/Spectrofluorometric techniques have been applied to the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in coal-derived products. The PAHs were isolated by preparative silica gel columns with a hexane mobile phase, and fractionated into five samples based on the number of …

Achieving Fair Distribution with Choice
This thesis studies deterministic movement over toroidal grids (and more generally, Cayley graphs on groups), integrating local information, bounded memory and choice at individual nodes. The research is motivated by recent work on deterministic random walks, and applications in multi-agent …

Reliability analysis of distribution network
The knowledge of the reliability of distribution networks and systems is important consideration in the system planning and operations for development and improvements of power distribution systems. To achieve the target as minimum interruptions as possible to customers, utilities must strive to …
