The last few decades have shown a substantial increase in personal mobility. Urban traffic and transport volumes have been increasing for years. However, the share of public transport in this mobility growth did not change much and still remains rather limited. To ensure the accessibility and liveability of our cities for future generations,...

Aggressive CMOS technology feature size scaling has been going on for the past decades, while the supply voltage is not proportionally scaled. Due to the increasing power density and electric field in the gate dielectric, the accelerating factors of failure mechanisms in nanoscale Integrated Circuits (ICs) have become more severe than ever. As a...

Solid State Lighting (SSL) technology is a new technology based on light emitting diodes as light sources. This technology due to its several outstanding characteristics such as lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, and higher design flexibility with respect to the conventional lighting technology has become very attractive to both...

The traditional ac power system is challenged by the increased amount of distributed energy resources. Enormous changes and investments are necessary in order to achieve an ac smart grid capable of coping with the challenges introduced. In dc, solutions seem to be more straightforward since most of the distributed energy sources and most of the...

Constant reduction in the size of transistors has made it possible to implement many cores on a single die. However, smaller transistors are more susceptible to both temporary and permanent faults. To make such systems more reliable, online fault tolerance techniques can be applied. A common approach for providing fault tolerance is to per- form...

Software-based methods for the detection of control-flow errors caused by transient fault usually consist in the introduction of protecting instructions both at the beginning and at the end of basic blocks. These methods are conservative in nature, in the sense that they assume that all blocks have the same probability of being the target of...

Spreadsheets are popular end-user computing applications and one reason behind their popularity is that they offer a large degree of freedom to their users regarding the way they can structure their data. However, this flexibility also makes spreadsheets difficult to understand. Textual documentation can address this issue, yet for supporting...

The assessment of sensorimotor functions is extremely important to understand the health status of a patient and its change over time. Assessments are necessary to plan and adjust the therapy in order to maximize the chances of individual recovery. Nowadays, however, assessments are seldom used in clinical practice due to administrative...

Online predictions of bus arrival times have the potential to reduce the uncertainty associated with bus operations. By better anticipating future conditions, online predictions can reduce perceived and actual passenger travel times as well as facilitate more proactive decision making by service providers. Even though considerable research...

Emerging technologies such as RRAMs are attracting significant attention, due to their tempting characteristics such as high scalability, CMOS compatibility and non-volatility to replace the current conventional memories. However, critical causes of hardware reliability failures (such as process variation due to their nano-scale structure) have...

This paper provides results and conclusions on a survey on the implementation and reliability aspects of CubeSat bus interfaces, with an emphasis on the data bus and power distribution. It provides recommendations for a future CubeSat bus standard. The survey is based on a literature study and a questionnaire representing 60 launched CubeSats...

Human civilization revolves around artificial light. Since its earliest incarnation as firelight to its most recent as electric light, artificial light is at the core of our existence. It has freed us from the temporal and spatial constraints of daylight by allowing us to function equally well night and day, indoors and outdoors. It evolved from...

A method of combining 3D Kriging for geotechnical sampling schemes with an existing random field generator is presented and validated. Conditional random fields of soil heterogeneity are then linked with finite elements, within a Monte Carlo framework, to investigate optimum sampling locations and the cost-effective design of a slope. The...

The stability of most earth embankments is strongly influenced by the water content of the soil. The water content directly influences the suction or pore pressure in the soil, as well as the mass of material, thereby affecting the stress state and strength, and leading to changes in the stability. These aspects are coupled by the so-called soil...

Memristors are considered a promising emerging device that may improve some specific applications, like memories, or make feasible new ones, mainly alternative computing architectures. However, it is not a mature technology and their characteristics can vary significantly depending on their structures. Also, variability and reliability might...

The evaluation of fatigue damage accumulation on wind turbine support structures under operational conditions is heavily influenced by a number of uncertainties. These uncertainties may, firstly, be attributed to the highly variable and complex environmental loads, and secondly, to the unavoidable modelling errors which mainly originate from the...

In this work, a physics-of-failure (PoF) reliability prediction methodology is combined with statistical models to consider the interaction between the lumen depreciation and catastrophic failures of LEDs. The current in each LED may redistribute when the catastrophic failure occurs in one of LEDs in an array, thus affecting the operation...
