This paper illustrates the use of the Modulo Time Plot to facilitate diagnosis of data acquisition systems and components. While conventional techniques, involving spectral analysis and histograms, provide certain useful and necessary measures of performance, the use of reordered sample sets has gained considerable popularity in recent work aimed at characterizing analog-to-digital converter er...

A new multisensory image segmentation algorithm is presented. In this algorithm, the images from different sensors are segmented in a sequential manner using curve evolution methods. There are no fusion rules involved and no controlling weights to adjust. It is effective in eliminating errors in single modality segmentation, and is fast enough for segmentation in real-time applications. The alg...

The safety and reliability of air transportation depends on minimizing inspection and maintenance errors that occur in the aircraft maintenance system. Efforts have been invested to track maintenance errors. These efforts are reactive in nature: they analyze maintenance errors after their occurrence. There is a lack of standardization in the assessment of maintenance errors across the maintenan...

This paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. Accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...

DESPITE more than 30 years of effort to improve its quality, software is still released with many errors. Many major products are known to have thousands of bugs. It is not for lack of trying; all major software developers have a software quality assurance effort and attempt to remove bugs before release. The problem is the complexity of the code. It is very easy to review code but fail to noti...

medication error (me) is the most common preventable cause of adverse drug events which negatively affects patient safety. inadequate, low-quality studies plus wide estimation variations in me from developing countries including iran, decreases the reliability of me evaluations. to clarify sources, underreporting reasons and preventive measures of mes, we reviewed iran current available literat...

The software inspection process was originally developed at IBM in 1972 and has established itself as an effective means of finding defects. The inspection process can be described as a series of stages; overview, individual preparation, group inspection, rework and follow-up. One active area of inspection research is looking at different defect detection methods. During the preparation stage, ...

Regular inspection and monitoring of buildings infrastructure, that is collectively called the built environment in this paper, critical. The includes commercial residential buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, pipelines. Automation robotics can aid reducing errors increasing efficiency tasks. As a result, robotic has become significant research topic recent years. This review paper presents an ...
