In general, this report discusses the techniques and applications of failure diagnosis and performance monitoring and provides a case study to demonstrate condition monitoring of a mechanical system and associated controls. Relationships with respect to system reliability, availability, safety, and maintenance and the impact of good failure diagnosis performance on several operational characteristics of mechanical systems are presented in this report. Guidelines are provided for the development and design of reliability and maintenance data banks and the use of data collected. Failure analysis is discussed in a descriptive manner and covers not only diagnostics but also performance monitoring and statistical analysis of failure information. The objective of the report is to provide an overview and understanding of the activities and practices of the subject matter and familiarize the reader with this rather broad topic. / Master of Science

The effects of organizational linkages on the success of neighborhood organizations are explored. The focus is on linkages between neighborhood organizations and local governments. A contextual framework developed from existing literature on neighborhood organizations is presented, and is used to evaluate the case study material. The case studies indicate that the effects of linkages on the success of neighborhood organizations are varied. The effects of organizational linkages are reported and analyzed, and information is provided useful to the practicing local government planner and to neighborhood organizations. / Master of Urban and Regional Planning
