Monte-Carlo simulation is widely used in distributed embedded system in our present era. In this research work, we have put an emphasis on reliability assessment of any distributed embedded system through Monte-Carlo simulation. We have done this assessment on random data which represents input voltages ranging from 0 volt to 12 volt; several numbers of trials have been executed on those data t...

Access-control lists (ACLs) are a traditional way to enforce permissions for access control. A trusted entity (e.g., operating system) knows which principals (e.g., users, programs) have access to which resources (e.g., files). One problem with ACLs is that they do not keep track of why each principal was granted a certain set of permissions. This allows a malicious entity to misuse permissions...

This paper presents a rule-based fuzzy logic controller applied to a scalar closed loop Volts/Hz induction motor (IM) control with slip regulation and its simulation results. They are also compared with those of a PI controller. The IM is modeled in terms of dqwindings, with synchronous frame associated with the frequency ωs of the stator excitation. The results obtained in the simulation are i...

Value at Risk (VaR) is a central concept in risk management. As stressed by Artzner et al. (1999), VaR may not possess the subadditivity property required to be a coherent measure of risk. The key idea of this paper is that, when tail thickness is responsible for violation of subadditivity, eliciting proper conditioning information may restore VaR rationale for decentralized risk management. Th...

BACKGROUND The root of Boehmeria spp (ramie) is a hepatoprotective Chinese herbal medicine. Medicinal properties vary between Boehmeria nivea var. nivea and Boehmeria nivea var. tenacissima, which are local species found in Taiwan. As commercial preparations may use either species, there is a need for a rapid and simple assay to identify variants for quality control. METHODS Four methods were...

The automobile is undergoing a revolution in the design of its electrical system. This is the result of increasingly sophisticated engine and body controls, as well as the introduction of new, electrically controlled functions. The main electrical bus of the future will be 42 V, and it will be buffered by a 36 V battery [1,2]. As many devices and electronic control units require voltages differ...

The first commercially available plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the General Motors (GM) Volt, was introduced into the market in mid-December 2010. The Volt uses a series-split powertrain architecture, which provides benefits over the series architecture that typically has been considered for use in electric-range extended vehicles (EREVs). A specialized EREV powertrain, called the Volt...

The Value-at-Risk (VaR) approach has been extensively used for measuring and controlling of market risks in financial institutions during the last decade. The risk control and management systems required in the new banking industry are based on the Banks for International Settlements’ (BIS) suggestions. Financial asset returns are traditionally modeled as being distributed according to the norm...
