Fault tolerant design is a technique emerging in Integrated Circuits (IC’s) to deal with the increasing error susceptibility (Soft Errors, or Single Event Upsets, SEU) caused by e.g. alpha particles. A side effect of these methods is that they also compensate for manufacturing defects (the Hard Errors). Currently, yield engineers focus on perfecting the manufacturing process and designers spend...

This paper studies on a fuzzy predictive model based high speed train fault tolerant control method, which is very important for high speed train’s high-precision control. After analyzing related research works about fault tolerant control and the development of modern high speed train, design of the high speed train fault tolerant control system is given. Afterwards, the high speed train fault...

Mobile networking devices autonomy can be prolonged by condensing sporadic traffic at the last hop, allowing the receiver to sleep during idle intervals. We claim that Delay Tolerant Networking principles are a natural fit for this application and, along with a novel rendezvous mechanism, employ DTN to achieve energy efficiency. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is supported by select ev...

The pheromone can be used for target tracking and, consequently, for packet forwarding to the destination node in delay-tolerant networking. In this study, an initiative community model is proposed by simulating pheromone production and diffusion, which contains all of the nodes that can receive the core node pheromone. We can set the distance of the edge node to the core to be less than five h...

The Predictive Toxicology Evaluation (or PTE) Challenge provided Machine Learning techniques with the opportunity to compete against specialised techniques for toxicology prediction. Toxicity models that used ndings from ILP programs have performed creditably in the PTE-2 experiment proposed under this challenge. We report here on an assessment of such models along scales of: (1) quantitative p...

Drought as the most important abiotic stress has deleterious effects on plants. Developing drought tolerant varieties can help produce plants in a sustainable way. This study was conducted to identify drought tolerant and drought sensitive thyme species including Thymus vulgaris, T. vulgaris (origin: Spain), T. carmanicus, T. daenensis and T. kotschyanus and to study the mechanism used by them ...

This study was conducted to determine drought tolerance genotypes with superiority in different stressed environments. To screening quantitative indices of drought tolerance, genotypes of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were tested in a complete randomized block design with three replications under two different water regimes (irrigated and rainfed). Significant positive correlatio...
