In mathematics, in the realm of group theory, a group is said to be critical if it is not in the variety generated by all its proper subquotients, which includes all its subgroups and all its quotients. [1] Any finite monolithic A-group is critical. This result is due to Kovacs and Newman. [2] But not every monolithic group is critical. [3]
Once the criticality assessment is completed for each failure mode of each item, the FMECA matrix may be sorted by severity and qualitative probability level or quantitative criticality number. This enables the analysis to identify critical items and critical failure modes for which design mitigation is desired.
Critical design uses design fiction and speculative design proposals to challenge assumptions and conceptions about the role objects play in everyday life. Critical design plays a similar role to product design , but does not emphasize an object's commercial purpose or physical utility.
Criticality (status), a milestone in the commissioning of a nuclear power plant; Criticality accident, an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction; Nuclear criticality safety, the prevention of nuclear and radiation accidents resulting from an inadvertent, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction; Prompt critical, an assembly for each nuclear fission ...
The Joback method, often named Joback–Reid method, predicts eleven important and commonly used pure component thermodynamic properties from molecular structure only. It is named after Kevin G. Joback in 1984 [1] and developed it further with Robert C. Reid. [2] The Joback method is an extension of the Lydersen method [3] and uses very similar groups, formulas, and parameters for the three ...
In operations research and engineering, a criticality matrix is a representation (often graphical) of failure modes along with their probabilities and severities. Severity may be classified in four categories, with Level I as most severe or "catastrophic"; Level II for "critical"; Level III for "marginal"; and Level IV for "minor". [1]
The Criticality Index allows you to identify tasks that are likely to cause delays to the project. [1] [2] By monitoring tasks with a high Criticality Index a project is less likely to be late. If a task has a 100% Criticality Index it means that during the analysis no matter how the task durations varied, the critical path always included the ...
Structured criticality is a property of complex systems in which small events may trigger larger events due to subtle interdependencies between elements. This often gives rise to a form of stratified chaos where the general behavior of the system can be modeled on one scale while smaller- and larger-scale behaviors remain unpredictable.
