A spanner is reliable if it can withstand large, catastrophic failures in the network. More precisely, any failure of some nodes only cause a small damage remaining graph terms dilation, that is, property maintained for almost all residual graph. Constructions spanners near linear size are known low-dimensional Euclidean settings. Here, we present new constructions planar graphs, trees and (gen...

We generalize the notion of Jacobson graphs into $n$-array columns called $n$-array Jacobson graphs and determine their connectivities and diameters. Also, we will study forbidden structures of these graphs and determine when an $n$-array Jacobson graph is planar, outer planar, projective, perfect or domination perfect.

High temperature operating life (HTOL) testing was performed on embedded planar capacitors (with epoxyBaTiO3 composite dielectric) by subjecting these devices to highly accelerated temperature and voltage aging conditions. The objective of HTOL testing was to precipitate avalanche breakdown failures as a result of defects in the composite dielectric. These defects include porosity, voids, and a...

Many physically-based distributed models study the landslide occurrence using an infinite slope stability analysis, simulating a planar failure, which is not usually applicable to rotational failures and deep landslides. Recently, some three-dimensional have been developed that applied in different parts of world. In this research, Scoops3D model implemented for susceptibility analysis tropical...

In cable driven parallel robots (CDPRs), a single malfunction usually induces complete failure of the entire robot. However, lost static workspace (due to failure) can often be recovered through reconfiguration attachment points on frame. This capability is introduced by adding kinematic redundancies robot in form moving linear sliders that are manipulated real-time redundancy resolution contro...

A full-field optical method called Digital Gradient Sensing (DGS) for measuring stress gradients due to an impact load on a planar transparent sheet is presented. The technique is based on the elasto-optic effect exhibited by transparent solids due to an imposed stress field causing angular deflections of light rays quantified using 2D digital image correlation method. The measured angular defl...

  Introduction: Although PET scanning using F-18[FDG] is considered the superior radiotracer for tumnor imaging, Gallium-67 is still in use for some malignancies such as lymphoma and hepatoma. One of the strategies to improve the diagnostic accuracy of Gallium is to perform SPECT which is reported to be more sensitive compared to planar imaging. In this study we compa...
