ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to investigate the problem one and two active redundant components allocation in a k ‐out‐of‐ n system with dependent components. Here, some necessary sufficient conditions are presented under which redundancies optimally allocated based on usual stochastic order criterion. In addition, it shown that, unlike independence mode, component not necessarily weakest component. Further, case components, weak (strong) stronger (weaker) system. Some algorithms also...

Abstract A simple and highly sensitive method is described for voltammetric determination of leucine in blood urine samples; namely, a glassy carbon electrode with an effective modified multiwall nanotubes (MWNTs). The cyclic results indicated that MWNTs remarkably enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation leucine. Under optimum condition calibration curve was linear concentration range 9.0 × 10−6 − 1.5 10−3 mol L−1, detection limit 3.0 L−1 relative standard deviation (RSD%)...
