Special Issue on Rock Fracturing and Fault Activation: Experiments and Models

Special Issue on Real-Time Fault Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant Control, IEEE Transaction on Industrial Electronics

With ongoing efforts to make the power grid smarter, there is a large emphasis on the automation and data analytics. Substation automation is a key enabling technology for online monitoring, diagnosis and prediction for the health condition of the substation assets. Circuit breakers (CB) are one of the most vital components in a substation for tripping action required during the fault occurrenc...

Tectonics, fracturing of rock, and erosion

[1] We argue that by fracturing rock, not by raising it relative to base level, tectonics plays its most important role in causing rapid incision of valleys and rapid erosion of hillslopes. Tectonic deformation riddles the upper crust with fractures, which not only provide avenues for water flow and thus promote weathering and further disintegration of rock but also fragment bedrock into debris...

Special issue on Hybrid Fuzzy Models

This special issue is composed of five papers addressing different topics in current developments of Hybrid Fuzzy Models. The issue originated from presentations at the 8th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems that was held in Barcelona, Spain, September 10–12th, 2008. Selected contributions were extended and went through a blind-fold peer review process. In this special issue...

Special Issue Bootstrap Analysis of Designed Experiments

In the first ENBIS conference in Oslo, Kenett and Steinberg (On the application of bootstrapping in analyzing designed experiments. Proceedings of the 1st Annual Conference on Business and Industrial Statistics, Oslo, Norway, 17–18 September 2001) proposed the application of bootstrapping to the analysis of data derived from moderate size designed experiments. In this paper we present follow-up...
