series-parallel system in its operation process is applied. Most maritime systems are very complex and it is difficult to analyze their reliability and availability in their time-varying operation processes. The huge number of components and their operating complexity created difficulty in the evaluation of the reliability and availability of these systems. A very important technique proposed to simplify the reliability and availability evaluation of large systems is the asymptotic approach. Accordingly‚ reliability

He said that the family have two main irreducible functions that it had to carry out to satisfy society’s needs‚ the husband and wife had set roles and that the nuclear family was the functional ‘fit’ in society. The two irreducible functions of the family that Parsons stated was the stabilisation of adult personality and the importance of primary socialisation. The stabilisation of

Evolution Generally‚ evolution is any process of change over time. In the context of life science‚ evolution is a change in the traits of living organisms over generations‚ including the emergence of new species. Since the development of modern genetics in the 1940s‚ evolution has been defined more specifically as a change in the frequency of alleles in a population from one generation to the next. Darwin ’s theory of evolution describes the descent of all living organisms from a common ancestor

Emptiness paper Buddhism is an orthopraxy where identity comes from implementing “correct” behavior‚ rather than orthodoxy where identity is found through “correct” beliefs. Mahayana Buddhism‚ termed “the Great Way” is essentially a vision of what Buddhism is really about. Although the permeation of Mahayana was harmless‚ the status of the sutras was constantly disputed. From the very onset of Buddhism‚ the concepts of Self/not-Self and dependent arising were prominent and fundamental
