Abstract Reliability and accessibility of distribution systems are important goals that have significant impacts on the costs. The proper strategy maintenance based components arrangement assets is best way to reach these goals. This a kind uses reliability-centered (RCM). Due limited budget, performing activities for all system neither possible nor logical. So most resources should be allocate...

This study aimed at testing an extension of a theoretical model for the metacognitive monitoring mechanism implied in detection inconsistencies when information provided includes abstract symbols addition to plain text. Ninety-four postgraduates STEM specialities were asked read worked-out algebra-problem example and report any incoherence, inconsistency, or error detected statement solving pro...

Image forgery localization is a very active and open research field for the difficulty to handle the large variety of manipulations a malicious user can perform by means of more and more sophisticated image editing tools. Here, we propose a localization framework based on the fusion of three very different tools, based, respectively, on sensor noise, patch-matching, and machine learning. The bi...
