This article investigates the estimation of the parameters for power hazard function distribution and some lifetime indices such as reliability function, hazard rate function, and coefficient of variation based on adaptive Type-II progressive censoring. From the perspective of frequentism, we derive the point estimations through the method of maximum likelihood estimation. Besides, delta method is implemented to construct the variances of the reliability characteristics. Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques are proposed to construct the Bayes estimates. To this end, the results of the Bayes estimates are obtained under squared error and linear exponential loss functions. Also, the corresponding credible intervals are constructed. A simulation study is utilized to assay the performance of the proposed methods. Finally, a real data set of COVID-19 mortality rate is analyzed to validate the introduced inference methods.

Inspection robots, which improve hazard identification and enhance safety management, play a vital role in the examination of high-risk environments in many fields, such as power distribution, petrochemical, and new energy battery factories. Currently, the position precision of the robots is a major barrier to their broad application. Exact kinematic model and control system of the robots is required to improve their location accuracy during movement on the unstructured surfaces.

Background And Aim: Malnutrition is strongly related to mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The Patient- and Nutrition-Derived Outcome Risk Assessment Score (PANDORA) is a novel mortality prediction tool encompassing nutritional assessment. Since there is limited evidence regarding the power of PANDORA in predicting mortality in critically ill patients, we aimed to evaluate the benefit of adding PANDORA to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) for mortality prediction in the ICU setting by comparing it with the other valid mortality predictors.

In order to solve the problems of rutting and early fatigue cracks in emulsified asphalt cold recycled pavement, and the shortage of natural stone resources and new environmental hazards caused by the use of traditional limestone powder filler. In this study, coal gangue powder was added to prepare Emulsified Asphalt Mastic (EAM) to improve the rheological properties and fatigue performance. A series of tests, including frequency scanning, temperature scanning, Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Linear Amplitude Scanning (LAS), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted.

Article Synopsis
  • Ozone (O) demulsification has potential for treating emulsion wastewater, but challenges include low mass transfer efficiency and selective oxidation.
  • A new composite, MnO/porous spontaneously polarized ceramic (MnO/PSPC), enhances catalytic ozonation (HCO) by utilizing strong interfacial interactions and a self-powered electric field, improving charge transfer.
  • The MnO/PSPC composite achieved a 99% demulsification rate for certain emulsions in just 30 minutes, significantly outperforming traditional methods and demonstrating effective performance across multiple cycles.
