faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. in this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...

[1] We analyze the mechanical properties needed to account for the large shallow slip during the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake and the activation of landward normal faulting within the forearc. We show that the morphology and internal structure of the forearc follows closely the prediction of the critical Coulomb wedge in horizontal compression, implying a high internal pore pressure ratio ( = 0.7...

This paper presents an alternative approach using the differential logic associated to Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in order to distinguish between inrush currents and internal faults in the protection of power transformers. The Alternative Transients Program (ATP) has been chosen as the computational tool to simulate a power transformer under fault and energization situations. The Radius ...

Transverse basement (TB) faults are important structures in the mountain belts or sedimentary basins influencing various aspects of them. The origin of these faults is diverse, but their effect on the shape and configuration of continental margins is characteristics. The Western Alborz range that borders the South Caspian basin to southwest is a complex range with principal faults and known ear...

the sofeh mountain in the south of isfahan (iran) has a development of shafts (vertical cave). simorgh cave with a depth of 42 m and a length of 52 m has developed along significant fault structures. structural analysis indicates relationships of orientation between the faults and fractures and shafts and chambers geometries. considering the main ne-sw trend of tectonic structures in the area, ...

This paper addresses the problem of observing the test response of an embedded intellectual property core. For the core test set specified by the core vendor, the logic surrounding the core can mask errors at the output of the core such that faults in the core may go undetected. For intellectual property cores where there is no knowledge of the internal structure of the core (i.e., the core is ...

The dynamics of majority voting has always been of interest in the area of discrete dynamical systems. In recent years, there has been a growing interest on this process also in the distributed computing field, due to its links to fault-tolerance, reliability, and virus disinfection. In fact, local voting mechanisms are often employed in distributed systems and networks as a decision tool for a...

MODIFIED) A progress in development of the physics model based diagnostic and prognostic system for solid rocket motors (SRMs) of the new generation of the crew exploration vehicles is reported. The performance model (PM) of the internal ballistics of large segmented SRMs in the regime of steady burning in the presence of the case breach fault is presented. This model takes into account propell...
