Many highly reliable products are designed to function for years without failure. For such systems accelerated degradation testing may provide significance information about the reliability properties of system. In this paper, we propose c-optimality criterion obtaining optimal designs constant-stress tests where path follow a linear mixed effects model. The present work is mainly concerned wit...

A number of strategies exist for the recovery from execution-time plan failures. One manner in which these strategies difFer is the degree of dependence on the reliability and availability of the planner’s knowledge. The best strategy, however, may be dependent on a number of considerations, including the type of plan failure, the criticality of the failure, the availability of resources, and t...

Planning in domains with temporal and numerical properties is an important research problem. In prior work, we presented an online planning architecture for resource production problems in RTS games. At every decision point, our planner constructs plans that achieve a certain fixed set of intermediate renewable resource goals. It then uses the plan with the smallest makespan to choose an action...

Dear Editor, This letter establishes several criteria for fixed-time stability and predefined-time of impulsive systems. First, sufficient conditions systems are presented to treat the destabilizing impulses hybrid involving multiple jump maps by control without linear feedback regulation. It determines robustness nonlinear against disturbance which has effect dynamics. Then, is ensured under r...

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using recently introduced multileaf collimators (MLC) is preferred over circular collimators in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical usefulness of MLCs in prostate SBRT by comparing the effectiveness of treatment plans using fixed collimators, variable collimators, and MLCs and by ensuring d...
