Off-line and On-line fatigue crack growth prediction of Aluminum 2024 compact-tension (CT) specimens under variable loading has been modeled, using multivariate Gaussian Process technique. The Gaussian Process model projects the input space to an output space by probabilistically inferring the underlying non-linear function relating input and output. For the off-line prediction the input space ...

− The results of exact time domain analysis of the switched-mode tuned Class E power amplifiers with a quarterwave transmission line are presented with analytical determination of the optimum load network parameters. Effects of the quarterwave transmission line and collector capacitance on the current and voltage waveforms are discussed and analyzed. The ideal collector voltage and current wave...

This article documents an e!ort to experimentally examine the e!ects of information characteristics of Web shopping sites on consumers' desire to approach the sites. A "eld experiment was conducted in which respondents visited shopping sites characterized by varying levels of information load. Two dimensions of information load, complexity and novelty were identi"ed and were found to have di!er...

Power-line networks are widely used today for broadband data transmission. However, due to multipaths within the broadband power line communication (BPLC) systems owing to stochastic changes in the network load impedances, branches, etc., network or channel capacity performances are affected. This paper attempts to investigate the performance of typical medium voltage channels that uses Orthogo...

In recent years, voltage limit violation and power system load-generation imbalance, i.e., line loading limit violation have been responsible for several incidents of major network collapses leading to partial or even complete blackouts. Alleviation of line overloads is the suitable corrective action in this regard. The control action strategies to limit the line loading to the security limits ...

Early infection may result in long-term colonization of layers with Salmonella enterica sv. enteritidis (S. enteritidis, SE), resulting in shedding into table or hatching eggs. To evaluate genetic factors underlying early response to SE, genetic line differences in mortality and pathogen load at two sites (cecal lumen and spleen) were investigated. At day of hatch, chicks of four genetic lines ...

We consider three scheduling problems that arise in studies of packet routing, load balancing and disk scheduling. A fundamental problem in the design of packet-switched communication networks is to provide effective methods for resolving contention when many packets wish to cross a link. End-to-end packet delays should be low and queue sizes should be small. For an adversarial connectionless m...

We estimate with a branching process model the propa-gation of load shed and the probability distribution of loadshed in simulated blackouts of an electric power system.The average propagation of the simulated load shed datais estimated and then the initial load shed is discretized andpropagated with a Galton-Watson branching process modelof cascading failure to estimate...
