New hardware redundancy approach for making modules tolerate faults using a new fault detecting voter unit structure

AbstractExtending the technique of unit structure analysis, which was originally developed by Ozaki (J Econ 73(5):720–748, 1980), this study introduces a method of value chain mapping that uses international input–output data and reveals both the upstream and downstream transactions of goods and services, as well as primary input (value added) and final output (final demand) transactions, which emerge along the entire value chain. This method is then applied to the agricultural value chain of three Greater Mekong Subregion countries: Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The results show that the agricultural value chain has been increasingly internationalized, although there is still room to benefit from participating in global value chains, especially in a country such as Cambodia. Although there are some constraints regarding the methodology and data, the method proves useful in tracing the entire value chain.

While activated autophagy is a well reported feature of cardiac disease, the exact role of autophagy in the etiology and progression of cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction is unclear; activation of autophagy appears to play either pro-survival or pro-apoptotic functions depending on the context. Here we demonstrate that dysfunctional autophagy plays a role in the development of angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Using a live, ex-vivo tissue imaging technique and transgenic LC3-GFP expressing mice we found that after short term (1 week) treatment, autophagic markers accumulate in angiotensin treated mouse hearts and that in a small population of cells this accumulation reaches a critical level where normal cell organization, specifically mitochondrial localization and contractile unit structure, and tissue architecture are disrupted. These observations are reminiscent of genetic diseases associated with dysfunctional autophagy, such as inclusion body myositis, where autophagic vesicles fail to properly clear and lead to cell death and tissue degeneration. We suggest that failed autophagy contributes to pressure-overload induced hypertrophy and that the cell death associated with dramatically dysfunctional autophagy in a subset of cardiomyocytes precedes fibrosis. This work provides a clear role for dysfunctional autophagy in promoting hypertrophy and fibrosis, and supports the notion that the promotion of successful autophagy is a clinically relevant target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract The dynamic behavior of elastic joints strongly affect the dynamic performance of a jointed mechanical system. The dynamic contacts introduced by joint clearances create a system with nonlinear characteristics. Special effort needs to be made to study jointed mechanical systems. This paper presents an integrated joint dynamics system, which can be used to predict the dynamic characteristics of a newly designed structure, or to analyze an existing jointed structure. This joint dynamics system can also be applied as a real time monitoring and diagnosis system when it is connected with a vibration measuring device. The joint dynamics system includes: 1) a theoretical model of jointed structures, in which the joint clearance and joint friction effects are considered; 2) a stochastic simulator which is used to generate vibration data and evaluate system dynamic characteristics; 3) a diagnostic monitoring algorithm for vibration state detection; and 4) a forecasting vibration control scheme. The joint dynamics system is applied to the dynamic analysis of a truss-cell unit structure. The results presented in this paper show that the joint dynamics system is effective.
