Small deviations between turbine blades exist due to manufacturing tolerances or material inhomogeneities. This effect is called mistuning and usually causes increased vibration amplitudes and also a lower service life ...

The effect of natural and man made disasters on critical infrastructures are substantial, as evident from recent history. Break downs of critical systems such as electrical power grids, water supply networks, communication ...

We investigate the number of iterations needed by an addition algorithm due to Burks et al. if the input is random. Several authors have obtained results on the average case behaviour, mainly using analytic techniques based ...
