This concluding article of two focuses on application of a reliability-based pipeline condition-assessment methodology to the assessment of an in-service corroded oil pipeline. Part 1, in last week's ...

In the last two decades, results obtained from structural reliability analysis (SRA) have increasingly led to formation of strategies for future safe operation of corroding oil and gas pipelines. 1-8 ...

Each estimation method is based on finding parameter estimates that minimize a badness-of-fit function that measures the difference between the observed sample covariance matrix and the predicted ...

A reliable Construction Estimating enterprise is aware of the way to coordinate cloth lists with cost monitoring and timeline ...

The problem of estimating the relatedness of a pair of biological sequences is addressed. A stochastic model of sequence evolution is described that allows insertion and deletion as well as ...

A brief description of the methods used by the SYSLIN procedure follows. For more information on these methods, see the references at the end of this chapter. There are two fundamental methods of ...
