Well logically verified and tested software may fail because of undesired physical phenomena provoking transient faults during its execution. While being the most frequent kind of faults, transient faults are difficult to ...

A particular goal oriented software design is proposed in this paper: by checking the preservation of critical information, an original proposed program structure has the important property to naturally recover transient ...

The detection of anomalous energy usage could help significantly in signaling energy wastage and identifying faulty appliances, especially if the individual power traces are analyzed. To that end, this paper proposes a ...

Identifying domestic appliances in the smart grid leads to a better power usage management and further helps in detecting appliance-level abnormalities. An efficient identification can be achieved only if a robust feature ...

This paper proposes a new appliance identification scheme by introducing a novel approach for extracting highly discriminative characteristic sets that can considerably distinguish between various appliance footprints. In ...

Consciousness about power consumption at the appliance level can assist user in promoting energy efficiency in households. In this paper, a superior non-intrusive appliance recognition method that can provide particular ...

Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ...

The treatment of spent caustic produced from an ethylene plant was investigated. In the case of neutralization alone it was found that the maximum removal of sulfide was at pH values below 5.5. The higher percentage removal ...

Simulation-based training (SBT) is becoming a necessity in educating healthcare professionals who work in high-risk environments, such as the intensive care unit (ICU) [1]. This applies to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ...

The Zynq-7000 based platforms are increasingly being used in different applications including image and signal processing. The Zynq system on chip (SoC) architecture combines a processing system based on a dual core ARM ...
