In fault pair collapsing, certain fault pairs are eliminated from the fault list, since those fault pairs are guaranteed to be distinguished by the remaining fault pairs in the fault list. Considering a fault pair is important in the case of diagnostic fault simulation and test generation. The concept of Z-set and independent fault set are used for fault pair formation. Z-set characteristics de...

background: medical liability systems play an important role on doctors’ everyday practices and their relationship with patients. they can be established in two ways, fault-based and non-fault. basing medical liability upon the element of fault links it to various issues of medical ethics.  in this paper, we have studied the possible ways each system, could affect the applicability of values an...

In this paper, a simulation-based method is proposed for optimal placement of vibration sensors for the purpose of fault detection in a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump is modeled to investigate the effect of vane tip fault on fluid flow patterns numerically. Pressure pulsations are investigated at different locations at the inner surface of the pump before and after the presence of the f...

This paper presents a new Fast Kurtogram Method in the time-frequency domain using novel types of statistical features instead of the kurtosis. For this study, the problem of four classes for Bearing Fault Detection is investigated using various statistical features. This research is conducted in four stages. At first, the stability of each feature for each fault mode is investigated. Then, res...

near-fault ground motions have caused very much damage in the vicinity of seismic sources during recent earthquakes. it is well known that under specific circumstances, intensive ground shakings near fault ruptures may be characterized by short-duration impulsive motions. this pulse-type motion is generally particular to the forward direction, where the fault rupture propagates towards the site...

we present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. in this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. the algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...

today’s knowledge on oesophageal adenocarcinoma and its rising incidence has encouraged researcher to illustrate relationship between barrett’s disease and progression to adenocarcinoma. the incidence of this disease has been accelerated sharply in current decades since people life has changed. studies have been demonstrated that several potential factors including genetical  and environmental ...
