Recent research results have shown that the traditional structural testing for delay and crosstalk faults may result in over-testing due to non-trivial number of such are untestable functional mode while testable test mode. This paper presents a pseudo-functional methodology attempts minimize problem scan-based circuits faults. The first pattern two-pattern is still delivered by scan but generated way it does not violate constraints extracted from logic. In this paper, we use SAT solver...

This paper presents a SAT-based ATPG tool targeting on path-oriented transition fault model. Under this model, is detected through the longest sensitizable path. In process, we utilize an efficient false-path pruning technique to identify path each site. We demonstrate that our new can be orders-of-magnitude faster than commercial tool. To quality of tests generated by approach, compare its resulting test set three other sets: single-detection set, multiple-detection and traditional critical...

The foveal cone mosaic can be directly visualized using adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO). Previous studies in individuals with normal vision report wide variability the topography of mosaic, especially value peak density (PCD). While these often involve a human grader, there have been no examining intergrader reproducibility metrics. Here we re-analyzed published AOSLO images from 44 to assess relationship between centroid (CDC) location and PCD. Across 5 graders...

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is a 3D spinal deformity commonly characterized by serial radiographs. Patients with AIS may have increased average radiation exposure compared to unaffected patients and thus be implicated modest increase in cancer risk. To minimize lifetime exposure, alternative imaging modalities such as surface topography are being explored. Surface (ST) uses camera map anatomic landmarks of the spine contours back create software-generated models. ST has previously shown...

This paper presents a pseudo-functional methodology attempts minimize problem scan-based circuits for faults. The first pattern two-pattern is still delivered by scan but generated way it does not violate constraints extracted from logic. In this paper, we use SAT...

Abstract This paper presents a case study in the use of ultrasonic NDE/SHM techniques for detecting and locating damage real (but small) wind turbine blade. Two are considered: (1) non‐linear acoustics, (2) guided‐wave “pitch‐catch” SHM. While acoustics approach proved disappointingly insensitive to induced experimentally blade, not only detected but also capable it, using “network novelty detectors” methodology. A first, slightly ill‐conceived, programme tests actually provided valuable...

BACKGROUND: Store-operated calcium entry mediated by STIM (stromal interaction molecule)-1–Orai1 (calcium release-activated modulator 1) is essential in endothelial cell (EC) functions, affecting signaling, NFAT (nuclear factor for activated T cells)-induced transcription, and metabolic programs. While the small GTPase Rap1 (Ras-proximate-1) isoforms, including predominant Rap1B, are known their role cadherin-mediated adhesion, EC deletion of Rap1A after birth uniquely disrupts lung barrier...

Software-based self-test (SBST) was originally proposed for cost reduction in SOC test environment. Previous studies have focused on using SBST screening logic defects. is functional-based and hence, achieving a high full-chip defect coverage can be challenge. This raises the question of SBST's applicability practice. In this paper, we investigate particular methodology study its potential applications. We conclude that very useful producing speed binning tests. To demonstrate advantage...

Online sequential monitoring of the incidence rates chronic or infectious diseases is critically important for public health. Governments have invested a great amount money in building global, national and regional disease reporting surveillance systems. In these systems, conventional control charts, such as cumulative sum (CUSUM) exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) are usually included purposes. However, charts require many assumptions on observed data, including ones that data...

Broadband connectivity and mobile technology have been widely applied in the world. With these advanced technologies, proliferation of smart devices their applications by accessing internet come up with a giant leap forward, leading to ever-increasing scale complexity cellular networks. This presents imminent challenges anomaly detection In this study, authors discuss current literature for networks embrace 'big data' era. First, they review state-of-the-art techniques area Then, are...

In this paper, we propose a timing-reasoning algorithm to improve the resolution of delay fault diagnosis. contrast previous approaches which identify candidates by utilizing only logic conditions, timing-simulation-based method perform candidate reasoning. Based on circuit timing information, invalid cannot maintain consistency failure behaviors. By eliminating those candidates, diagnosis can be improved. We then analyze problem uncertainty caused variation and simulation model. calculate...

To monitor the incidence rates of cancers, AIDS, cardiovascular diseases, and other chronic or infectious some global, national, regional reporting systems have been built to collect/provide population-based data about disease incidence. Such databases usually report daily, monthly, yearly numbers at city, county, state, country level, collected different places times are often correlated, with ones closer in place time being more correlated. The correlation reflects impact various...

Statistical process control (SPC) charts provide a powerful tool for monitoring production lines in manufacturing industries. They are also used widely other applications, such as sequential of internet traffic flows, disease incidences, health care systems, and more. In practice, quality/performance variables often affected complex way by many covariates, material, labor, weather conditions, social/economic so forth. Among all these some could be observed, might difficult to observe, the...

Under most circumstances, cyber criminals will commit fraudulent transactions using proxy services which hide their real IP address and physical location. This is done in an effort to avoid being tracked prosecuted by law enforcement agencies. paper presents the investigation of a detection methodology efforts implement such technology into business solution with sole purpose eliminating majority transaction attempts. The approach, described this identifies multiple connectivity methods,...

Spatio-temporal process monitoring (STPM) has received a considerable attention recently due to its broad applications in environment monitoring, disease surveillance, streaming image processing, and more. Because spatio-temporal data often have complicated structure, including latent correlation, complex mean nonparametric distribution, STPM is challenging research problem. In practice, if distributional shift (e.g., shift) started at specific time point, then the spatial locations with are...

Identifying the root-cause of silicon failures is crucial for debug and yield improvement. However, due to low visibility data, identification tends be a painful process. In this paper, we develop systematic framework diagnose under functional test patterns. We propose novel scan-dump approach isolate critical cycles. Within cycles, apply logic-reasoning techniques including active-path-tracing (AP) what-if (WI) analysis automatically extract rank failure candidates. our on an industrial...

Spatio-temporal modeling is an active research problem with broad applications. In this problem, proper description and estimation of the data covariance structure plays important role. literature, most available methods assume that stationary follows a specific parametric form. practice, however, such assumptions are hardly valid or difficult to verify. paper, we propose new flexible method for estimating underlying structure. Our proposed does not require be follow It can accommodate...
