Reliability

Abstract—Drones or Remote Piloted Aircrafts System (RPAS), have become incredibly popular in a variety of sectors. Critical uses of drones includes agriculture, delivery system and surveillance etc. As technology advances, the reliability of drone components becomes increasingly crucial. It is important to analyze the prime reasons of drone flight crashes as it can damage public property and it could also be harmful for human beings. Mechanical breakdowns, human error, battery failure, wildlife hazards could be one of the reasons for the flight crashes.

Thermocouples are widely used in industrial applications due to their robustness, low cost, reliability and ability to survive in harsh environments. However, these thermocouples are prone to failure in a highly acidic medium such as nuclear fuel reprocessing plants. This paper investigates the degradation phenomenon and its effect on measurement accuracy when a thermocouple with mechanical damage to the protective sheath is placed in a corrosive media.

Social Media Big Dataset for Research, Analytics, Prediction, and Understanding the Global Climate Change Trends is focused on understanding the climate science, trends, and public awareness of climate change. The use of dataset for analytics of climate change trends greatly helps in researching and comprehending global climate change trends.

Quantum computing is one of the most promising technology advances of the latest years. Once only a conceptual idea to solve physics simulations, quantum computation is today a reality, with numerous machines able to execute quantum algorithms. One of the hardest challenges in quantum computing is reliability. Qubits are highly sensitive to noise, which can make the output useless. Moreover, lately it has been shown that superconducting qubits are extremely susceptible to external sources of faults, such as ionizing radiation.
