Glass-coated amorphous magnetic microwires (GAWs) has typical structure with glass skin and amorphous metal alloy inner core, which makes it have special electromagnetic (EM) properties. It not only has multiple EM losses and proper impedance matching, but also has the conductive core with...

Fluid contamination is one of the main reasons for the wear failure and the related downtime in a hydraulic power system. Filters play an important role in controlling the contamination effectively, increasing the reliability of the system, and maintaining the system economically. Due to the...

This thesis focuses on the developing of statistical methodology in reliability and quality engineering, and to assist the decision-makings at enterprise level, process level, and product level.In Chapter II, we propose a multi-level statistical modeling strategy to characterize data from...

Using two randomized field experiments, we examine how warning borrowers that their loan performance will be reported to a public credit registry affects their loan take-up and repayment decisions. We show that credit warnings increase loan take-up rates. Reducing incumbent lenders'...
