Multi-state System Reliability Analysis and Optimization for Engineers and Industrial Managers presents a comprehensive, up-to-date description of multi-state system (MSS) reliability as a natural extension of classical binary-state reliability. It presents all essential theoretical achievements in the field, but is also practically oriented.New theoretical issues are described, including:• combined Markov and semi-Markov processes methods, and universal generating function techniques;• statistical data processing for MSSs;• reliability analysis of aging MSSs;• methods for cost-reliability and cost-availability analysis of MSSs; and• main definitions and concepts of fuzzy MSS.Multi-state System Reliability Analysis and Optimization for Engineers and Industrial Managers also discusses life cycle cost analysis and practical optimal decision making for real world MSSs. Numerous examples are included in each section in order to illustrate mathematical tools. Besides these examples, real world MSSs (such as power generating and transmission systems, air-conditioning systems, production systems, etc.) are considered as case studies.Multi-state System Reliability Analysis and Optimization for Engineers and Industrial Managers also describes basic concepts of MSS, MSS reliability measures and tools for MSS reliability assessment and optimization. It is a self-contained study resource and does not require prior knowledge from its readers, making the book attractive for researchers as well as for practical engineers and industrial managers.

This is a true story. Contrary to common impression of excessive homework, less time for games in a typical school in China, this book gives us a different picture of everyday life from a fifth-grade boys eyes.

This book explores the hydrogen integration in energy systems from a whole system optimisation perspective. The book introduces new modelling, optimisation, and reliability evaluation approaches that support the net zero transition.Global warming has been witnessed in the past few decades—as caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, it not only affects the habitat of animals but also threatens the lives of mankind in modern societies. Around the world, resulting from the excessive consumption of fossil fuels, such as natural gas, the energy sector is the culprit behind carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. To achieve net zero ambitions, energy systems worldwide urgently call for cleaner energy sources. Green hydrogen, produced through power-to-gas facilities using surplus renewable energy generation, has emerged as a promising solution. However, because hydrogen shares distinguished properties with natural gas, many fundamental questions, including how to smoothly integrate hydrogen into the existing energy systems, how to operate such a new structured energy system, and what is the systematic impact, remain unclear. To answer these questions and bridge the research gap, this book aims to develop new modelling, optimization, and reliability evaluation approaches that support the transition of current energy systems to hydrogen-integrated energy systems (HI-ES).This book sets the theoretical foundations for developing more advanced control strategies and application scenarios for HI-ES, and inform policy makings through bespoke advice on hydrogen integration road maps.

Self-concept and self-efficacy are important constructs in educational psychology, defining an individual’s general perception of their abilities in school subjects and belief in accomplishing specific tasks. These constructs are crucial in understanding academic achievement, motivation, well-being, and overall educational experiences, particularly within the context of school and in different school subjects. International large-scale assessments (ILSAs) like the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), facilitate comparisons across various educational systems and cultural backgrounds. Utilising ILSA data aids in examining how self-concept and self-efficacy influence educational outcomes across different settings, while also allowing analysis of subgroups by socioeconomic status, gender, and immigration background. This helps guide teaching practice and shape educational policies by providing insights into the psychological factors driving educational success. This dissertation has two purposes: Firstly, it examines the factor structure and measurement invariance of mathematics self-concept and self-efficacy, ensuring valid comparisons across different demographic groups and over time. Secondly, it explores the relationship between these constructs and mathematics achievement, considering student and school characteristics like socioeconomic status and type of school. The analysis uses data from the 2003 and 2012 PISA cycles. The dissertation includes an integrative essay and three empirical studies. Study I assesses the factor structure and measurement invariance of the constructs across 40 education systems participating in the 2003 and 2012 PISA cycles. Study II examines potential paradoxical relationships between self-concept, efficacy, and achievement across multiple educational systems, establishing measurement invariance separately for each PISA cycle. Study III focuses on Sweden, analysing the correlation of sociodemographic factors on the relationship between self-concept/self-efficacy and achievement in mathematics, comparing public and independent schools. Overall, the findings emphasise the importance of validating the measurement properties of these constructs and caution against presuming their uniform application across diverse educational contexts. The studies highlight the significant role of self-concept and self efficacy in enhancing mathematical achievement, considering student and school dynamics.
