To improve the life of mechanical product, parametric Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) as reliability methodology proposes to assess design products subjected repeated loads, based on (generalized) life-stress formulation and sample size equation. It will help an engineer reveal defects product which making a critical influence for procedure. Eventually, companies can circumvent recalls due flaws...

is true. Charge: It offends common sense to say that Caesar’s birth was a cause of his death. Response: e assertibility conditions of causal claims are affected by conversational context. Even if () is true, in normal contexts it will be uninformative, or misleading, or not a suitable answer to the sorts of questions we are interested in. And general pragmatic principles explain why it would ...

In this paper, we examine a recently proposed mode of operation for block ciphers which we refer to as statistical cipher feedback (SCFB) mode. SCFB mode configures the block cipher as a keystream generator for use in a stream cipher such that it has the property of statistical self-synchronization, thereby allowing the stream cipher to recover from bit slips in the communication channel. Stati...
