On improving parallel pattern single fault propagation for synchronous sequential circuits
The parallel pattern single fault propagation (PPSFP) method is known to be the most efficient for fault simulation of combinational circuits. Recently, PPSFP has been extended to synchronous sequential circuits [1]. The fault simulator called PARIS is the unique sequential circuit fault simulator …

Real time safety verification in the process industry using fault semantic networks (FSN)
… and instantaneously estimate the risks for all faults and deviations. An FSN is introduced in this thesis to systematically and continuously estimate risks for all possible fault propagation scenarios. Intelligent reasoning algorithms are proposed using a BBN to accurately estimate risks. An FSN …

Geology of the Northern Alto Relex Area, Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas
… is a prominent, near vertical, ~1000 foot-high fault-line scarp. Cretaceous rocks in the area were folded and faulted by Laramide compression, intruded by Tertiary sills and overprinted by high-angle normal faults from Basin and Range extension. During the Laramide Orogeny and Basin and Range …

Centrifuge Modelling Study of Contrasting Structural Styles in the Salt Range and the Potwar Plateau, Pakistan
… develops a prominent culmination structure with fault-bend fold geometry over the frontal ramp, while the eastern SR/PP is more internally deformed by detachment folds, fault-propagation folds and pop-up and pop-down structures. Model results show that the transition from fault-bend fold to …

DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FORELAND BASIN: COMBINED STRUCTURAL, MINERALOGICAL, AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BASIN EVOLUTION, ROCKY MOUNTAIN THRUST FRONT, NORTHWEST MONTANA
… by layer-parallel shortening and buckled over fault-propagation anticlinal crests in the Late Cretaceous-Paleocene fold-and-thrust belt. The model proposes that the grikes record uplift and erosion followed by subsidence as the Rocky Mountain foreland experienced elastic flexure in response to …

TENOR: an ATPG for transition faults in combinational circuits
Delay fault testing of high speed VLSI circuits is becoming increasingly important. This thesis presents an Automatic Test Pattern Generator (ATPG), called TENOR, for transition faults. Transition faults are a special case of gate delay faults. Test generation is based on the FAN algorithm. The …

A transverse fault in an extended terrane, the Currant Summit Fault, Nevada
Transverse faults in extensional terranes strike parallel to subparallel to the extension direction, are laterally continuous, and terminate abruptly. Problems of transverse faults are addressed by analysis of the Currant Summit fault, an east-west striking fault in east-central Nevada; Mapping of …

Cross-domain network fault localization
Prior research has focused on intra-domain fault localization leaving the cross-domain problem largely unaddressed. Faults often have widespread effects, which if correlated, could significantly improve fault localization. For both competitive and security reasons, domain managers hesitate to share …
