Traditional Deep Neural Network (DNN) security is mostly related to the well-known adversarial input example attack. Recently, another dimension of attack, namely, attack on DNN weight parameters, has been shown be very powerful. As a representative one, Bit-Flip-based Attack (BFA) injects an extremely small amount faults into parameters hijack executing function. Prior works BFA focus <italic ...

Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness variations that is referred as tailor machined blanks. Due to the thickness variation in tailor machined blanks, laser bending of these blanks is more complicated than monolithic plates. In this article, laser formin...

Herein paper compares the analytical model with the FEM based numerical model of the axisymmetric bending of circular sandwich plates. Also, the paper describes equations of the circular symmetrical sandwich plates bending with isotropic face sheets and the nonlinear elastic core material. The method of constructing an analytical solution of nonlinear differential equations has been described. ...

The leakage characteristics of the bending-teeth gland, which may be helpful for the fast start and fast stop of the steam turbine, was discussed in this paper by using ANSYS6.1 software. By compared the flow fields in straight-teeth gland and bending-teeth gland, the methods for the bending-teeth gland to decrease the steam leakage was proposed. The results show that, although the leakage of t...

In recent years, memristive crossbar-based neuromorphic computing systems (NCS) have obtained extremely high performance in neural network acceleration. However, adversarial attacks and conductance variations of memristors bring reliability challenges to NCS design. First, can fool the pose a serious threat security critical applications. On other hand, device lead degradation accuracy. this pa...

PARyOpt 1 is a Python based implementation of the Bayesian optimization routine designed for remote and asynchronous function evaluations. especially attractive computational due to its low cost footprint as well ability account uncertainties in data. A key challenge efficiently deploy any strategy on distributed computing systems synchronization step, where data from multiple calls assimilated...

The aim of this work was to study the variability of physiological responses to bending and the relationship with hydraulic conductance of the sap pathway to the laterals for five apple genotypes. The study focuses on the fate of the laterals. The genetic variability of bending can have two sources: a genetic variability of stem geometry which can lead to differences in mechanical state; and a ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the mechanical properties of the Polyaxial Advanced Locking System (PAX) in screw push-out and four-point bending. MATERIALS AND METHODS Screw push-out: PAX locking screws were applied to first generation PAX plates at three different insertion angles with two different insertion torques. A load was applied parallel to the screw axis, and screw push-out force was measure...

The conventional French fatigue test has yielded significantly different results for two asphalt materials with the same grade of pure asphalt. A research program was begun to study the influence of the asphalt nature on the fatigue behavior of asphalt materials. The program included full-scale experimentation on the circular test track of the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussees, laborat...
