The concept of e-Government comprises of three main domains viz., e-administration, e-citizens and e-society [Heeks, 2001] and is a question of interplay among various e-Government actors which viz., political organisations, administrative bodies / public ...
Many problems in distributed computing are impossible when no information about process failures is available. So what is the minimal yet non-trivial failure information? In other words, what is the minimal information about failures needed to circumvent a ...
Understanding firm reactions to regulatory uncertainty is vital for the functioning of a market. Deficient investments, particularly in the power generation sector, could jeopardize the market in the long run. ...
Over the past twenty years, numerous infrastructure management systems have been developed to address gradual failure modes. Unfortunately the management of sudden failure modes within large infrastructure systems (principally: natural hazard induced failu ...
Erasure coded storage provides a cheap and space efficient way to tolerate failures through the use of networked commodity servers. Erasure coded data is kept on n different servers out of which f can fail. By combining encoded blocks from n-f servers, the ...
This paper presents an algorithm to ensure the atomicity of a distributed storage that can be read and written by any number of clients. In failure-free and synchronous situations, and even if there is contention, our algorithm has a high write throughput ...
This thesis focuses on performance, reliability and degradation in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), which currently represent the three key technical challenges for the deployment of this technology. By its development of dedicated modeling and experimental ...
In IR (Impulse Radio) network, the conventional synchronization (also called signal acquisition) method becomes inefficient and results in a certain failure of synchronization when concurrent transmissions are allowed without controlling their powers. The ...
Thermal variability of the coefficient of the critical state, or the angle of internal friction is examined in view of experimental results obtained for clays and hard rocks. This sensitivity has several implications for the evolution of what is considered ...

Failure conditions in soils at elevated temperatures appear to be strongly dependent on the history of the application of stress and temperature. Four cases of such history leading to various modes of failure are identified and interpreted in terms of Ther ...
