(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...

Fault detection (FD) and fault-tolerant cooperative control (FTCC) strategies are proposed in this paper for multiple fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under actuator faults, sensor wind disturbances. Firstly, the faulty model is introduced while effectiveness loss, deviation of thrust throttle setting, pitot faults considered. Secondly, UAV with disturbances linearized system then con...

the nnw-trending dena fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of zagros fold-thrust belt in borujen region. the fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. this study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of dena fault based on field evidence....

We present an approach to enhance fault-tolerance of real-time systems through steering. Steering means external alteration of the system's behavior in response to a deviation from requirements. The steering technique is embedded into a framework of monitoring and checking (MaC). MaC allows the users to perform runtime analysis of the current execution of a system with respect to formally speci...

Wireless sensor networks faces a number of challenges; a wireless sensor network which includes a number of sensor nodes must provide reliability and fault tolerance against a number of odds such as scalability, hardware, environmental conditions, power and energy factors. In this paper, we address these two issues of Reliability and Fault Tolerance using mirror nodes. We demonstrate that incre...

Fault detection by stochastic qualitative reasoning is an effective way for complex systems such as air conditioning systems. In this framework, the faulty part of a system can be identified by comparing the behavior derived by stochastic qualitative reasoning with the actual measured behavior. The latter is represented as the series of qualitative values that are obtained by classifying quanti...

A ‘Go’ or ‘No Go’ assessment is a safety requirement for quick and robust estimation of the condition of gearboxes used in helicopters and other critical machines. A range of vibrationbased Condition Indicators (CIs) has been developed to meet this requirement. CIs are compared automatically with pre-set threshold values representing a healthy system, so that the health of the gearbox can be as...

In late-age silicon, soft errors become an issue even for low-margin products. Since classical hardening techniques are associated with costs which may not be acceptable for such ICs, selective hardening which targets only a subset of all possible soft errors has been suggested. We propose a soft error selection method based on severity of an error’s impact on system behavior. Some soft errors ...

The two general data analytic questions of subgroup mining (B2.2) deal with deviations and associations (C5.2.3, C5.2.4). A deviation pattern describes a deviating behavior (distribution) of a target variable in a subgroup. Target variable and behavior type are selected by the analyst for an individual mining task, the deviating subgroups are determined by the mining method. Deviation patterns ...
