This chapter describes the integrated security verification and security solution design trade-off analysis (SVDT) approach. SVDT is useful when there is a diverse set of requirements imposed upon a security critical system, such as a required security level, time-to-market and budget constraints and end users’ expectations. Balancing these needs requires developers to evaluate alternative secu...

A two-segment model based on Alexander (1990; Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. B 329, 3-10) was used to investigate the action of knee extensor muscles during long jumps. A more realistic representation of the muscle and tendon properties than implemented previously was necessary to demonstrate the advantages of eccentric force enhancement and non-linear tendon properties. During the take-off phase o...

On-chip speeds and integration densities have grown exponentially over the past several decades creating a corresponding demand for high-bandwidth, chip-to-chip communication. Compared with integrated circuit technology, the technologies for chip-packaging, printed circuit boards, and connectors improve at a much slower rate. This results in a big and growing gap between the I/O bandwidth neede...

closed-loop supply chain network (clscn) design aims at incorporating environmental considerations into the traditional supply chain design by including recycling, disassembly and reuse activities. in a clscn, the environmental considerations can also be facilitated by resorting to environmentally friendly materials and enhancing product reuse through the design of an appropriate product recove...

In this paper, a robust tracking control method for automatic take-off and trajectory tracking of a quadrotor helicopter is presented. The designed controller includes two parts: a position controller and an attitude controller. The attitude controller is designed by using the sliding mode control (SMC) method to track the desired pitch and roll angles, which are the output of position controll...

In the present work, effects of modifying tongue geometry a centrifugal pump on pressure pulsations under design and off-design conditions are carried out numerically by unsteady analysis fluid flow. Numerical modeling based Re-Normalization Group (RNG) k-ε turbulence model using Mosaic mesh structure, technology which can easily, quickly formally connects any type for complex geometries flow r...
