Mesh networks are among the most important interconnection network topologies for large multicomputer systems. Mesh networks perform poorly in tolerating faults in the view of worst-case analysis. On the other hand, such worst cases occur very rarely in realistic situations. In this paper, we study the fault tolerance of 2-D and 3-D mesh networks under a more realistic model in which each netwo...

We present a tolerance analysis that is applicable to a large group of stimuli used in structure-from-motion tasks. Human performance in structure-from-motion tasks reflects the fact that the visual system deals with projections of a 3-D world on the retina. A tolerance analysis reveals the relationship between the projections and the 3-D world. Any realistic model of the visual system should i...

Tolerance analysis is a valuable tool for reducing manufacturing costs by improving producibility. Several useful methods of selecting design tolerances are presented with examples. The common and more advanced tolerance analysis methods are also reviewed and evaluated. A simple new tolerance analysis model suitable for designers is described as an alternative to the advanced methods. It is muc...

Spatially-correlated intra-die process variations cause significant core-to-core frequency variations in chip-multiprocessors. An analytical model of chip-multiprocessor throughput is extended to model designs using frequency islands. The improved variabilitytolerance of such designs over globally-clocked ones is quantified across a range of core counts and sizes under constant die area. The be...

Architecture reconfiguration, the ability of a system to alter the active interconnection among modules, has a history of different purposes and strategies. Its purposes develop from the relatively simple desire to formalize procedures that all processes have in common to reconfiguration for the improvement of fault-tolerance, to reconfiguration for performance enhancement, either through the s...

The article calls attention to the relationship between neighbourhoods and tolerance classes in the foundations of tolerance near sets. A particular form of tolerance relation is given by way of introduction to descriptively ε-near sets. Neighbourhoods and tolerance classes have practical applications in digital image analysis. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03E15, 11K55, 54E17, 54E40

A new tolerance modeling scheme, semantic tolerance modeling, was recently developed to enable interpretable tolerance analysis. In this paper, a new dimensioning and tolerancing practice, semantic tolerancing, is proposed with the theoretical support of semantic tolerance models. Following principles of interpretability, this new tolerancing approach captures more design intent, including flex...

The isoflavone profiles of seeds of various soybean genotypes with different levels of shade tolerance at the seedling stage were investigated. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to quantify 12 isoflavones, and the data were analyzed using a multivariate statistical analysis. Combined with field experimental data and an orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis ...

The genetics of’ salinity tolerance in rice was studied by visual scoring in parents F1 F2 and backcross generations of six crosses. Segregation analysis indicated partial dominance for salinity tolerance. Estimation of genetic parameters under epistatic model indicated the importance of additive effects in the inheritance of salinity tolerance. Highly significant additive type of gene action i...
