CMOS-MEMS is a promising approach to achieve integration of microelectromechanical structures with circuits by using foundry CMOS services coupled with post-CMOS processing. The most significant benefit is the low cost of manufacturing the mechanical structures with CMOS. We report suitable conditions for post-CMOS processing by reactive ion etching (RIE) to define the mechanical structures. Va...

Software testing is an expensive process, which is vital in the industry. Construction of the test-data in software testing requires the major cost and to decide which method to use in order to generate the test data is important. This paper discusses the efficiency of searchbased algorithms (preferably genetic algorithm) versus random testing, in software test-data generation. This study diffe...

This study aimed to use the design of experiment technique calculate optimum values dependent and independent variables considered in production quality sugar. consists two stages. Firstly, four different one variable data were used for this study. The levels limits factors determined as a result descriptive statistical analysis. They two-level system; full-factorial experiment, including 24 ex...

Contemporary models of audiovisual speech perception attempt to explain accuracy data based on curve fitting and optimization techniques (see Braida, 1991; Massaro, 1987). Research on audiovisual speech perception lacks a formal mathematical foundation because current models do not make predictions about reaction time or adequately describe how the audio and visual channels are processed in the...

Factorial experiments are widely used in industrial experimentation and other fields. Whenever a factorial experiment is not designed as a full factorial but as a – regular or non-regular – fraction thereof, choice between competing designs and interpretation of experimental results should take into consideration how the experimental plan will confound experimental effects. This article propose...

Minimum aberration designs are obtained for two types of mixed-level fractional factorial: (i) (s) × s factorial, and (ii) (s1) × (s2) × s factorial, where s is any prime or prime power, and r, r1, r2 and n are positive integers. Projective geometric tools are employed to find the wordlength pattern of a given design in terms of that of its complementary set. Many useful designs are found
