  • AN INTEGRATED REDUNDANT RELIABILITY OPTIMIZATION FRAMEWORK FOR COHERENT HYBRID SYSTEMS USING LAGRANGE MULTIPLIER, HEURISTIC, AND INTEGER PROGRAMMING APPROACHES
    SAI UMA SANKAR MANDAVILLI, SIDHAR AKIRI, SRINIVASA RAO VELAMPUDI, ARUN KUMAR SARIPALLI, BHAVANI KAPU, RAMADEVI SURAPATI
    Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology, 2026
    The overarching purpose of reliability engineering is to guarantee, within a certain time frame and set of circumstances, the proper operation of systems and its components. Integrating redundancy strategically while taking restrictions like mass, cost, and space needs into coherent system topologies improves system robustness, according to reliability theory. The impact of these limitations volume, weight, dimensions, and space on the improvement of system reliability is the primary emphasis of this study. Parts used in a typical representative coherent hybrid system are the focus of the inquiry. These parts are really taken from coherent systems, where dimensions, mass, and cost are critical for maintaining effective operation. The motor control unit, internal combustion engine, and electric generator must all go through thorough reliability testing. To solve this problem, we need to research and construct an integrated redundant reliability model in a coherent systems structure utilizing the Lagrange multiplier approach. This approach generates continuous-valued results for significant variables, including component count, individual and stage reliabilities, and overall system dependability. The work takes it a step further by using heuristic methods and integer programming to come up with integer-based solutions that are both realistic and useful. These strategies make the dependability research much more accurate and valuable.

    Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment, 2025
    This study investigates the suitability of three parameters continuous probability distributions-Burr Type XII 3P, Dagum Type I 3P and Log-Logistic 3P-in modeling secondary air pollutants: ozone (O₃), particulate matters (PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅) in Visakhapatnam, an urban region having rapid industrialization. By employing rigorous statistical techniques including maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and bootstrapping, we estimate distribution parameters and validate model fit through diagnostic plots-skewness vs. kurtosis, P-P and Q-Q plots as well as goodness-of-fit test-statistics, such as Kolmogorov-Smirnov(KS), Anderson-Darling(AD) and Cramér von Mises(CvM) tests. Additional, performance metrics including Akaike information criterion(AIC), Bayesian information criterion(BIC), evaluation metrics like mean absolute error(MAE), mean absolute percentage error(MAPE), mean squared error(MSE), root mean squared error(RMSE) and coefficient of determination(R²) and cross-validation, were also applied to ensure model robustness. Results indicate that the Burr Type XII 3P distribution most effectively models the high variability and skewed nature of O₃ concentrations, while the Dagum Type I 3P distribution provides the best fit for PM₁₀ and both Burr Type XII 3P and Log-Logistic 3P distributions are suitable for PM₂.₅. These findings offer new insights into the behavior of secondary pollutants, supporting the development of robust air quality monitoring frameworks. R software facilitated all numerical analyses and visualizations of data suited to environmental data modeling.
  • Statistical Distribution Models for Airborne VOCs (Xylene, Toluene and Benzene) in Visakhapatnam using Burr XII 3P, Log-Logistic 3P and Dagum-I 3P Distributions

    Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment, 2025
    This study investigates the application of advanced statistical models for airborne Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)-specifically xylene, toluene and benzene-using air pollution data collected from the city Visakhapatnam from the year 2018 to 2022. To capture the non-normal distributional behavior of VOC concentrations, three flexible probability distributions were employed: Burr XII 3P, Log-Logistic 3P and Dagum-I 3P. Parameter estimation was performed via maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) while model validation was achieved through P–P and Q–Q plots. In order to identify the most suitable distribution for modeling the air pollutant data, three distinct goodness of fit test statistics and five model selection criteria were applied. The results demonstrate that the Dagum-I 3P distribution best fits xylene and benzene, while the Log-Logistic 3P model is optimal for the moderately skewed toluene concentrations. Cross-validation confirms these findings, highlighting the reliability of tailored distributional models for VOCs. The proposed distributions provide a robust framework for predicting air quality information and conducting accuracy assessments with all calculations and visual indications carried out with R-software. This work underscores the potential of pollutant-specific modeling for improved air quality assessment and management strategies, contributing to environmental health planning in urban-industrial areas.
