1 DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EFFECT OF DEGASSED RE-INJECTED WATER IN KIVU LAKE, RWANDA Author: Amin Shaka Aunali* and D. Venkatesan**,(Pages: 01-11) Email: N/A          DOI: N/A Abstract: Gas and Oil exploitation is necessary for the country in order to improve the financial status and solve the day-to-day needs of the people with hundred percent ensured public safeties, in addition to environmental protection in and around the lake. Permanent measuring systems are also used to monitor the behavior of the lake during the exploitation of methane accumulation. In order to avoid the environment disaster after the gas extraction, the Kibuye-Platform-1 needs to re-inject the residual water at safety zone in the depth of Lake-Kivu. In this research, we present a novel application of ANOVA for 32 factorial design to identify the optimum level (in meters) of re-injection of residual water using pH value and salinity and this methodology is illustrated using a real life data.

Govindhan,(Pages: 12-22) Email: N/A          DOI: N/A Abstract: The concept of stability and maintainable structures in a graded manpower systems is of central importance in theoretical and applied study of populations. Predicting the manpower attrition using Stochastic approach has received much attention in recent literature. Stochastic model for the description, prediction and control of attrition from the various grades of a hierarchically structured manpower system of management staff is discussed by Vassiliou (1976). In this paper, it is proposed to study the manpower attrition using Stochastic approach in a global perspective. This approach is highly useful for not only predicting the human manpower but also formulating human resource strategy of Embryonic India Keyword: Stability and Maintainable Structures, Graded Manpower Systems, Manpower Attrition, Stochastic Approach3 COMPARISON OF BAYESIAN METHOD AND CLASSICAL CHARTS IN DETECTION OF SMALL SHIFTS IN THE CONTROL CHARTS Author: Amin Shaka Aunali* and D. Venkatesan**,(Pages: 23-35) Email: N/A          DOI: N/A Abstract: This paper proposes a Bayesian estimator for a quick detection of
“small shifts†in the control chart under the assumption that the
Process characteristic follows normality. Bayesian estimate is
compared to that of the classical Moving Average, CUSUM and
EWMA control charts in detection of small shifts in the process
mean in the case of individual observation through a simulation
study. Keyword: Bayes estimate,

before they fail or break down. In experiments where failure
times are sparse, degradation analysis is useful for the analysis
of failure time distributions in reliability studies. A relationship
between component failure and amount of degradation makes it
possible to use degradation models and data to make inferences
and predictions about a failure-time distribution. Degradation
modeling techniques have generated a great amount of research
in reliability field. Relative to failure-based reliability,
degradation-based reliability has received a modest amount of
attention in the open literature. Also, degradation analysis for
reliability has attracted considerable attention of statisticians,
and engineers in recent years. For instance, the failures of many
manufactured products are caused by certain degradation
mechanisms. In particular, unit of such a product, degradation
measurements can be made over time. Such degradation
measurements can be used to make inference on the lifetime
distribution of the product. This motivates the need for
developing stochastic degradation models using accelerating
variables for inference based on both observed failure level, and
degradation measurement. In this contest, stochastic
degradation models, based on Shock models and cumulative
damage approach, using accelerating variables to characterize
the degradation phenomenon are developed.

Survival models relate the time that passes before some event occurs to one or more covariates that may be associated with that quantity of time. In a proportional hazards model, the unique effect of a unit increase in a covariate is multiplicative with respect to the hazard rate. The effect of covariates estimated by any proportional hazards model can thus be reported as hazard ratios. Cox observed that if the proportional hazards assumption hold (or, is assumed to hold) then it is possible to estimate the effect parameter(s) without any consideration of the hazard function. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) proposed by Tibshirani is a popular technique for model selection and estimation in linear regression model. Cox’s proportional hazard model for variable selection using LASSO method has been received much attention in the recent literature. In this paper an example of statistical analysis for the LASSO method for variable selection in the Cox’s model using Lung cancer and Liver data is highlighted. Numerical illustrations are also substantiated through real data example.

The fluctuating human for manpower requires an inventory . In this paper a Stochastic model is developed to determine the optimal size of reserve inventory of personnel, assuming that there are three nodes namely training, placement in two sections which are technical, administrative. The demand for manpower is of random character and hence random variables. The optimal size of reserve inventory is derived by referring the concept of cost of overages and shortages.
