Estimating Code Biases for Criticality Safety Applications with Few Relevant Benchmarks

A Modelica Sub- and Superset for Safety-Relevant Control Applications

Fueled by the continuous, rapid progress within microelectronics, ever more intelligent and intricate functions are realized in mechatronic systems. To control the complexity associated with such designs, modelbased control design methods are increasingly adapted in industry. Despite Modelica’s obvious suitability to efficiently create appropriate high fidelity system models, the utilization of...

A Non-MDS Erasure Code Scheme for Storage Applications

This paper investigates the use of redundancy and self repairing against node failures indistributed storage systems using a novel non-MDS erasure code. In replication method, accessto one replication node is adequate to reconstruct a lost node, while in MDS erasure codedsystems which are optimal in terms of redundancy-reliability tradeoff, a single node failure isrepaired after recovering the ...

Quantum criticality for few-body systems: path-integral approach.

We present the path-integral approach to treat quantum phase transitions and critical phenomena for few-body quantum systems. Allowing the space and time variables to have discrete values, we turn the quantum problem into an effective classical lattice problem. Imposing the constraint that any change in space time must preserve the scaling invariance of Brownian paths, we show that the mapped c...

Estimating Oil Products Demand by State-space Model and Relevant Guidelines for Price Liberalization

The purpose of this paper is to estimate oil products demand by the state-space model, taking into account the implications for price liberalization using the Kalman filter technique in the framework of a time-varying pattern. For this purpose, we use the data of the Energy Balance Sheet and the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company during the period of 1994-2017. Our model res...
