to s top faults. "preventable" animal-caused Wildlife managers have long been concerned with the damage wildlife can cause, especially to agricultural crops. However, one area which has received little research is the damage caused by wildlife to electric substations. Such research is needed because damage to electric substations increases operating costs of utilities and reduces reliability of...

Unfaulting seismic images to correlate seismic reflectors across faults is helpful in seismic interpretation, and is useful for seismic horizon extraction. Methods for unfaulting typically assume that fault geometries need not change during unfaulting. However, for seismic images containing multiple faults and, especially, intersecting faults, this assumption often results in unnecessary distor...

This paper presents a quantitative reliability analysis of a system designed to tolerate both hardware and software faults. The system being studied achieves integrated fault tolerance by implementing N-Version Programming (NVP) on redundant hardware. The analysis of the system considers independent software faults, related software faults, transient hardware faults, permanent hardware faults, ...

Byzantine fault is a cumulative term given to the set of both permanent and transient faults caused in circuits which effectively present themselves as different errors at different nodes in the same circuit. Such faults have become significant with the shrinkage in node (process) technology with process variations, radiation strikes and quantummechanical effects being majorly responsible for c...
