A strategy for modeling spot defect induced faults by their corresponding boolean functions is developed. The presented strategy is based on the principle of local conduction path analysis. This way of modeling is much more general in the sense that all kinds of faults are unified by one concept, the boolean function. In this way testing related applications can be done efficiently and can main...

It is shown that the minimum energy required to transmit a natural unit of information (nat) over a noisy channel is k T, where T is the effective noise temperature which depends on the interaction between the information career and the environment. The result follows from the entropy defect principle and general laws of quantum dynamics without any specific assumptions. © 1998 Published by Els...

We introduce a defect correction principle for exponential operator splitting methods applied to time-dependent linear Schrödinger equations and construct a posteriori local error estimators for the Lie–Trotter and Strang splitting methods. Under natural commutator bounds on the involved operators we prove asymptotical correctness of the local error estimators, and along the way recover the kno...

Pseudospectral collocation is employed for the numerical solution of nonlinear two-point boundary value problems with separated end conditions. Second-order finite difference schemes are used as preconditioners for the spectral calculation, and a solution of the discretized equations is obtained using versions of the defect correction principle. The method and a variant based on an adaptive gri...

A new method pinch analysis is introduced to discuss design optimization of the air-conditioning refrigeration system from the point of view of saving energy and saving material, and the evaluation principle of system economy is built up. The method avoids the defect of traditional design method using experience, easy to realize optimum match between system component parts. c Cp COP F G H M p P...

Classification of potential energy minima-mechanically stable molecular packings-offers a unifying principle for understanding condensed phase properties. This approach permits identification of an inherent structure in liquids that is normally obscured by thermal motions. Melting and freezing occur through characteristic sequences of molecular packings, and a defect-softening phenomenon underl...

fixed myocardial defects in both stress and rest images, could be artifactual as a result of soft tissue attenuation. to increase specificity and identify the false positive results, we used gated technique to evaluate the wall motion and wall thickening as an index to differentiate real ischemic lesions from artifactual defects. 93 patients were studied. in 46 patients (48.8%) fixed perfusion ...

The continuous Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz (cMERA) [Haegeman et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 100402 (2013)] gives a variational wavefunctional for ground states of quantum field theoretic Hamiltonians. A cMERA is defined as the result applying to reference unentangled state unitary evolution generated by quasilocal operator, entangler. This makes extension formalism case where ...
