Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPassage to the Differences for the BDF's MethodsAbdelouahab SalmiIn this study, we give an improvement to the backward differentiation formula (BDF). We use a formula for the differences that permits us to determine the new coefficients αi^ and γi ^in function of the classical coefficients αi and γi of this method. Our proposed approach decreases the error and the cost of computation. Numerical results for concrete problems are … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Evaluation of Distributed Computer Systems Subject to Imperfect Coverage and Dependent Common-Cause FailuresLiudong Xing, Akhilesh ShresthaImperfect coverage (IPC) occurs when a malicious component failure causes extensive damage due to inadequate fault detection, fault location or fault recovery. Common-cause failures (CCF) are multiple dependent component failures within a system due to a shared root cause. Both imperfect coverage and common-cause failures can exist in distributed computer systems and can contribute significantly to the overall system unreliability. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 28 Sep 2006 · 6,838 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Culture, Policy and Traditional Knowledge to Improve Engagement in Science CoursesLawrence K. Duffy, Catherine Hurt Middlecamp, Anna Godduhn, Cindy E. FabbriProblem statement: In our undergraduate science courses, we need to engage students by including the current issues and concerns of our students as well as recognizing the place-based context in which they learn. Including culture, policy and traditional knowledge when it intersects with a chemical principle and a challenging real world issue adds concreteness to the scientific process. Approach: Science … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
