This article introduces a new measure of travel time reliability for implementation in the dynamic routing algorithm of an intelligent car navigation system. The measure is based on the log-normal distribution of travel time on a link and consists of two i ...
A clear description of the paths of thermal decomposition of complex borohydrides represents a crucial step forward to their utilisation as a reservoir of hydrogen and hence as materials for solid state hydrogen storage. We present in this work a theoretic ...
The interface toughness of a thin coating/compliant substrate system is estimated based on the evolution of coating buckle patterns in the fragmentation test. The linear density of coating buckles as a function of applied strain is determined experimentall ...
Microarrays have become an important tool for studying the molecular basis of complex disease traits and fundamental biological processes. A common purpose of microarray experiments is the detection of genes that are differentially expressed under two cond ...
It is now common knowledge that flow uniformity within repeat-elements - as well as among them in stack configuration - is of major importance for the performance and reliability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). At first, a design optimization of the con ...
P>Inorganic phosphate (Pi) homeostasis in multi-cellular eukaryotes depends not only on Pi influx into cells, but also on Pi efflux. Examples in plants for which Pi efflux is crucial are transfer of Pi into the xylem of roots and release of Pi at the peri- ...
Particle physics experiments such as those run in the Large Hadron Collider result in huge quantities of data, which are boiled down to a few numbers from which it is hoped that a signal will be detected. We discuss a simple probability model for this and ...
A model for the yield stress of particulate suspensions is presented that incorporates microstructural parameters taking into account volume fraction of solids, particle size, particle size distribution, maximum packing, percolation threshold, and interpar ...
We consider a multi-source delivery system, where Raptor coding at sources and linear network coding in overlay nodes work in concert for efficient data delivery in networks with diversity. Such a combination permits to increase throughput and loss resilie ...
Many reliable distributed systems are consensus-based and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery mode following asynchrony and failures. A lot of work has been devoted to optimize th ...
