OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the combinations of the Mallampati test and anthropometric measurements with the highest selectivity value. In addition, we aim to identify a possible correlation between head circumference measurement, the presence of malignancy and difficult intubation. METHODS Patients who were scheduled to undergo elective surgery under general anaesthesia,...

Fault Tolerance must be provided to increase system reliability. Combining efficiency with fault tolerance is a difficult task. Fault Tolerance requires the use of redundancy while efficiency requires the elimination of redundancy. Several fault tolerance techniques have been proposed in the literature to manage the redundancy existing in the system in order to provide fault tolerance. These te...

Differential Fault Analysis against AES has been actively studied these years. Based on similar assumptions of the fault injection, different DFA attacks against AES have been proposed. However, it is difficult to understand how different attack results are obtained for the same fault injection. It is also difficult to understand the relationship between similar assumptions of fault injection a...

Multiple fault diagnosis is a difficult problem for dynamic systems, and, as a result, most multiple fault diagnosis approaches are restricted to static systems, and most dynamic system diagnosis approaches make the single fault assumption. Within the framework of consistency-based diagnosis, the challenge is to generate conflicts from dynamic signals. For multiple faults, this becomes difficul...

Fault-tolerant design of analog circuits is more difficult than that of digital circuits. Abhijit Chatterjee has proposed a continuous checksum-based technique to design fault-tolerant linear analog circuits. However, some faults in the passive elements cannot be detected if the checker has not been designed appropriately. This paper addresses the fault coverage issue in the continuous checksum...

A fault is a defect in a program, usually difficult to pinpoint .A faults may occur at single points or distributed points. In software testing, fault injection is a technique of introducing faults into the code for improving the coverage and usually used with stress testing for robustness of the developed software. When the fault-tolerance mechanisms detect an error, they may initiate several ...

I present a survey of automated techniques for software fault localization. Fault localization or localizing the root cause of failure is one of the most difficult processes in software debugging. Hence, many automated techniques have emerged to help in this process. Most of these techniques are based on the principles used in real life for fault diagnosis. I have used these principles to class...

(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...

Many fault injection tools are available for dependability assessment. Although these tools are good at injecting a single fault model into a single system, they suffer from two main limitations for use in distributed systems: (1) no single tool is sufficient for injecting all necessary fault models; (2) it is difficult to port these tools to new systems. NFTAPE, a tool for composing automated ...

The large aircraft engine fault diagnosis in the problem of accurate. General components with different, large aircraft engine structure and its complex, the work in higher frequency failure, failure appear in a relatively short time, and it is difficult to retrieval, leading to establish the connection between the fault occurs when the connection breaks. The traditional fault detection method ...
