With the dramatic increase in amount of information in campus network, the security and high reliability of access data have become urgent requirements on redundancy reliability design of campus network. This paper adopts the technology of VRRP and takes advantages of double backup sets and router to process the design and configuration. As is shown in the experiment, when one device fails, the other ones can still complete relevant operations under the conditions of double backup sets. Therefore, the redundancy reliability design of campus network can be realized through the technology of VRRP double backup sets.

Brushstrokes are viewed as the artist’s “handwriting” in a painting. In many applications such as style learning and transfer, mimicking painting, and painting authentication, it is highly desired to quantitatively and accurately identify brushstroke characteristics from old masters’ pieces using computer programs. However, due to the nature of hundreds or thousands of intermingling brushstrokes in the painting, it still remains challenging. This article proposes an efficient algorithm for brush Stroke extraction based on a Deep neural network, i.e., DStroke. Compared to the state-of-the-art research, the main merit of the proposed DStroke is to automatically and rapidly extract brushstrokes from a painting without manual annotation, while accurately approximating the real brushstrokes with high reliability. Herein, recovering the faithful soft transitions between brushstrokes is often ignored by the other methods. In fact, the details of brushstrokes in a master piece of painting (e.g., shapes, colors, texture, overlaps) are highly desired by artists since they hold promise to enhance and extend the artists’ powers, just like microscopes extend biologists’ powers. To demonstrate the high efficiency of the proposed DStroke, we perform it on a set of real scans of paintings and a set of synthetic paintings, respectively. Experiments show that the proposed DStroke is noticeably faster and more accurate at identifying and extracting brushstrokes, outperforming the other methods.

Understanding and measuring sentence acceptability is of fundamental importance for linguists, but although many measures for doing so have been developed, relatively little is known about some of their psychometric properties. In this paper we evaluate within- and between-participant test-retest reliability on a wide range of measures of sentence acceptability. Doing so allows us to estimate how much of the variability within each measure is due to factors including participant-level individual differences, sample size, response styles, and item effects. The measures examined include Likert scales, two versions of forced-choice judgments, magnitude estimation, and a novel measure based on Thurstonian approaches in psychophysics. We reproduce previous findings of high between-participant reliability within and across measures, and extend these results to a generally high reliability within individual items and individual people. Our results indicate that Likert scales and the Thurstonian approach produce the most stable and reliable acceptability measures and do so with smaller sample sizes than the other measures. Moreover, their agreement with each other suggests that the limitation of a discrete Likert scale does not impose a significant degree of structure on the resulting acceptability judgments.

Recently cloud computing technology has been implemented by many companies. This technology requires a really high reliability that closely related to hardware specification and management resource quality used. Adequate hardware would make resource allocation easier. On the other hand, resource allocation will be harder if the resources are limited. This is a common condition in a developing cloud service provider. In this paper, a load balancing algorithm to allocate resources in cloud computing environment that has limited resources has been proposed. This algorithm is developed by taking the advantages of the existing algorithms, Equally Spread Current Execution and Throttled. We merge those algorithm without losing the advantages and we try to eliminate the shortcoming of each algorithm. The result shows that this algorithm is able to give a significant improvement in the limited resources environment. In addition, the algorithm also able to compete with the other algorithm in the more adequate resource environment. Based on the consistent results, this algorithm is expected to be more adaptive in different resources environment.

Whether the need is due to poorly bondable materials, non-flat bonding surfaces, odd packaging situations, or just the need for high reliability; the integrity of a wire bond interconnect can usually be greatly improved through the proper use of Auxiliary Wires. Auxiliary Wires are defined as Security Wires, Security Bumps, or Stand-Off Stitch (aka Stitch on Bump). The old stand-by Security Wire has been an asset for several decades, however, this is being replaced by Security Bumps which require a smaller second bond termination area. Further, Stand-Off Stitch (SOS) has many more applications and also has many side benefits that could be incorporated into a circuit design for better wire strength properties, fewer interconnects (die to die bonding), and lower loops. Stand-Off Stitch bonding involves the placement of a ball bump at one end of the wire interconnect, then placing a wire with another ball at the other end of the interconnect and stitching off the wire on the previous placed ball bump. This results in a near homogeneous stitch bond interconnect to the bump with an inherent improvement in stitch bond pull strength. Another use for SOS is Reverse Bonding (Stitch bond on bump on die bond pad) often resulting in a lower loop profile than standard forward wire loop and the loop is stronger because the wire hasn't been work annealed above the ball (in the Heat Affected Zone). A major impediment to the implementation of SOS is the retraining of visual inspectors and the approval of quality departments.

Recipes have a great impact on consumers’ behavior in the kitchen; building a recipe requires the understanding of the potential user. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate different recipe styles for the preparation of doughs by understanding people’s descriptions of these. Two qualitative studies were performed (43 wheat and 50 corn dough preparers). During interviews, participants described the preparation process of the doughs using the Think Aloud technique. Finished doughs were described as not sticky, soft, and pliable. Based on these descriptions, five recipes were created: not detailed, detailed, very detailed, paragraph-form, and ‘with images’. Recipes were validated in two online surveys (total n = 600), where respondents evaluated the easiness, likeability, likelihood of using, helpfulness, and amount of information. Respondents considered the recipe with images as easier and more helpful. The very detailed recipe was considered more difficult, less helpful, and was liked less than the other recipes. Understanding and identifying the terms and techniques people use is a good way to communicate how to prepare a food product and can be used to develop and improve recipes. However, the format in which the recipe is presented is an important factor considered by users when following recipes.

The LARZAC 04 turbofan engine has been designed, developed and qualified by two French gas turbine engine companies linked by a controlling group known as Groupement Turbomeca-SNECMA. The LARZAC engine is in production for the Alpha Jet, a military aircraft developed by Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Aviation and Dornier GmbH. Teledyne CAE has an agreement to market, service and, optionally, to manufacture the LARZAC 04 in the United States and Canada and has designated this engine the Model 490-4. This paper addresses the criteria used to design the Model 490-4 and achieve high reliability and low maintenance cost. For example: (a) modular construction and how it reduces maintenance cost, (b) high reliability design and its payoff in low maintenance costs, and (c) the planned growth of the inspection intervals to achieve minimum Life Cycle Cost. Also addressed in this paper is the rugged design of the engine as proven by cyclic component tests, large and small bird ingestion, water and hail ingestion, short cycle testing and Simulated Mission Endurance Tests.

We have taken part to an exceptionally rich colloquium, characterized by a large amount of information in all fields of physics, and a remarkable collection of observational data. Our understanding of what is going on inside the stars has changed in a radical manner during the last years, on one side because the observations are bringing new kinds of information, and on the other side because theory in its development is taking into account a number of processes, some of them having been completely ignored only ten years ago.It is impossible to draw here a complete list of problems. There are many cases where some inconsistency could be found in the theory itself or some contradiction between observational data and theory. I recommended that such a list should be drawn carefully. The participants to the round table discussion will give their contribution, helping to open the way to new fields of research and to new discoveries.

A component with multiple weak sites is widely used in practical engineering and the existence of multiple weak sites can significantly decrease the component reliability. On the other hand, only a few components bear static loading and most components bear dynamic loading. In this paper, a reliability model of isomorphic component with multiple weak sites is built based on an order statistics model and the influences of strength decentrality and loading decentrality on isomorphic component with multiple weak sites are discussed. Furthermore the influence of loading times is studied in detail. The results show that unlike a component with only one weak site, not only does the failure of a component with multiple weak sites have a relationship with the safety margin, but there also exist relationships with the number of weak sites, the loading roughness, and loading times. The work in this paper is of some guiding significance in reliability design and assessment of a component with multiple weak sites under complex loading.
