Rainwater harvesting (RWH) are receiving notable attention as a promising alternative to address water supply pressures in urban areas. In the context of climate change, however, knowledge about impacts of rainfall changes on RWH is limited. In this study, the impacts of rainfall changes on efficiency and reliability of RWH are investigated at three cities (i.e., Chengdu, Beijing and Urumqi in China)...
A propagated failure from a system component not only causes the component itself to malfunction, but also affects other system components. However, in systems with the functional dependence behavior, the failure propagation from a dependent component could be isolated if the corresponding trigger component fails first; otherwise the failure propagation effect still takes place causing extensive damage...
This paper considers correlated, probabilistic competing failures in the reliability analysis of relay-assisted wireless body area networks (WBANs). Particularly failure competitions exist in the time domain between propagated failures of biosensors caused by jamming attacks and local failures (e.g., transmission unit failure) of relay nodes that transit physiological information between biosensors...
Trust is a crucial basis for interactions among parties in social networks. This paper presents a binary decision diagrams-based algorithm for trust sensitivity analysis in social networks. Based on trust scores of direct links, the trust sensitivity analysis can help identify which direct link (s) in the social network contributes the most to a trust relationship between two particular parties who...
