In today’s highly competitive business environment, manufacturers have to offer a great variety of products on a high quality level, in the least amount of time for an acceptable price. Therefore machine maintenance and in general, implementing an appropriate maintenance strategy has become increasingly important for manufacturing companies to accomplish these requirements. Total productive mai...

Human factors are among the main elements affecting the reliability of nondestructive examinations (NDE). In a man-machine system, human reliability is affected by many factors (performance shaping factors) whose influence on reliability cannot be easily expressed quantitatively. This paper identifies and ranks 59 perform-ance shaping factors by using a fuzzy reasoning method and proposes a pro...

Human evaluation of machine translation normally uses sentence-level measures such as relative ranking or adequacy scales. However, these provide no insight into possible errors, and do not scale well with sentence length. We argue for a semantics-based evaluation, which captures what meaning components are retained in the MT output, thus providing a more fine-grained analysis of translation qu...

The treatment of big data as well the rapid improvement in speed processing are facilitated by parallelization computations, cloud computing increasing number artificial intelligence techniques. These developments lead to multiplication applications and modeling Reliability engineering includes several research areas such reliability, availability, maintainability, safety (RAMS); prognostics he...

Repetitive jumping has been identified as a possible exercise modality able to provide sufficient stimulus to improve bone health. However, it is necessary to establish whether repetitive jumping can elicit a consistent physiological response with the ablity to monitor work rate. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the stability reliability of the Digijump device for the commonly...

The main issues in a cloud based environment are security, process fail rate and performance. Fault tolerance plays a key role in ensuring high serviceability and reliability in cloud. Nowadays, demands for high fault tolerance, high serviceability and high reliability are becoming unprecedentedly strong, building a high fault tolerance, high serviceability and high reliability cloud is a criti...
