Recently, collectable manufacturing data are rapidly increasing. On the other hand, mega recall is getting serious as a social problem. Under such circumstances, there are increasing needs for preventing mega recalls by defect analysis such as root cause analysis and abnormal detection utilizing manufacturing data. However, the time to classify strings in manufacturing data by traditional metho...

BACKGROUND Children with Down syndrome (DS) have about a 40 to 50% incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD). The objectives of this study were to evaluate the distribution and frequency of CHD patterns in Libyan children with DS. METHODS All patients with DS who were referred to the cardiology clinic between January 1995 and December 2008 were reviewed. RESULTS Of the 1 193 patients revi...

The performance of depth reconstruction in binocular stereo relies on how adequate the predefined baseline for a target scene is. Wide-baseline stereo is capable of discriminating depth better than the narrow-baseline stereo, but it often suffers from spatial artifacts. Narrow-baseline stereo can provide a more elaborate depth map with fewer artifacts, while its depth resolution tends to be bia...

Infrared temperature sensors, simple device for temperature measurement, have been modified for the measurement of temperature distribution on the metal surface in a way of nondestructive detection of defects of the object. In this study, the IR sensor system is utilized for the defect detection in a cylinder with one point heating, and the performance of the system is examined with an aluminum...

Marginal zone (MZ) B cells are absent in CD19(-/-) mice. Possible causes include an intrinsic defect in B cells and/or a secondary defect in the extrinsic MZ microenvironment as a result of changes in B cell differentiation in mice lacking CD19. Cells in the MZ also include MZ macrophages (MZM) and MZ dendritic cells (DC). Although CD19 is only expressed on B cells, SIGN-R1(+) MZM are absent an...

We studied the evolution of defect lines (oily streaks) in cholesteric liquid crystals. In contrast to nematic liquid crystals, there were no interactions between the defect lines in cholesteric liquid crystals. We observed experimentally that individual open defect segments shrank with time with a linear relation, and individual defect loops shrank with time with a square root relation. We als...

In this paper we summarize requirements-based testing with defect taxonomies which seamlessly integrates defect taxonomies into the standard test process to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of testing requirements. Defect taxonomies which consist of hierarchies of defect categories provide information about the distribution of faults and failures in a project. In practice, most defe...
