Changes are made in the nomenclature of species and subspecies in the genus Arctostaphylos (Ericaceae). In this study, the focus is on species found in the coast ranges of California. Changes are made in A. nortensis from the area around the Oregon border with California, in the A. nevadensis complex in the North Coast Ranges, in the A. nummularia complex of the north to central coast, in the A...

Strategy-proof social choice functions are characterized for societies where the space of alternatives is any full dimensional compact subset of a Euclidean space and all voters have generalized single-peaked preferences. Our results build upon and extend those obtained for cartesian product ranges by Border and Jordan (1983). By admitting a large set of non-Cartesian ranges, we give a partial ...

This paper describes the software approach of fault tolerance for shared memory multi core system using PLR.PLR uses a software-centric approach transient fault tolerance which ensuring a correct software execution. This scheme is used at user space level which does not necessitate changes to the original application.PLR create a set of redundant process per application process. In this scheme ...

estimation. APE's solution to the parameter estimation problem is to estimate only those parameters associated with the proposed fault, thereby reducing the computation and focussing fault diagnosis. Within APE, Qmimic and QMI fault diagnosis can be accomplished in several ways, and we have examined two methods: deening all fault models in advance (QMI), or creating new models based on the faul...

Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) seeks to exploit the large number of ranging signals provided by the multiplicity of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) core constellations. Including more satellites increases the number of potential fault modes and the number of subset solutions that need to be evaluated by the receiver. In this paper we describe methods for red...

In this paper, a two-level reconfiguration action is used to design an FTC system. The objective is to adapt the corrective action accordingly to the fault severity. The first level of the procedure is triggered when the impact of the fault on the system performance is limited. At the second level a dynamic reference modification based on reference-offset governor is proposed. The idea consists...

     This research study deals with the processing and interpretation of the total Bouguer anomaly and the total count iso-radiation data for a region located in the western desert of Iraq. The research aims to delineate the approximate locations and the effective depth of faults and how does rocks radioactivity act nearby the faults. The graphical method adopted to separate the residual fields...
