---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract A method to select diagnosis variables or test variables for analog circuit testing and to diagnose multiple soft faults in non linear analog circuits using multiple frequency measurements is proposed in this paper. Circuit parameters or the test v...

Description: Synthetic biology provides the ability to re-engineer and compose core biological processes in new ways to create robust living systems that address energy, environment, and medical applications. This concentration equips students with essential knowledge and skills on foundational design-oriented models, genetic circuit analysis and design tools, circuit fabrication, characterizat...

The bacterial SOS stress-response pathway is a pro-mutagenic DNA repair system that mediates bacterial survival and adaptation to genotoxic stressors, including antibiotics and UV light. The SOS pathway is composed of a network of genes under the control of the transcriptional repressor, LexA. Activation of the pathway involves linked but distinct events: an initial DNA damage event leads to ac...

In this paper, a test circuit for a test method is proposed, with which open leads of CMOS logic ICs are detected without generating test input vectors. Open leads are detected by means of supply current of the test circuit that flows when an AC voltage signal is provided to targeted leads with test probes as a stimulus. It is examined by some experiments whether open leads will be detected wit...

Unsupervised training of generative models is a machine learning task that has many applications in scientific computing. In this work we evaluate the efficacy using quantum circuit-based to generate synthetic data high energy physics processes. We use non-adversarial, gradient-based circuit Born machines joint distributions over 2 and 3 variables.

Synthetic biology aspires to revolutionize the way we construct biological circuits, as it promises fast time-to-market synthetic systems through part standardization, model abstraction, design and process automation. However, the automated design of synthetic circuits remains an unsolved problem, despite the increasing number of practitioners in the field. One reason behind that, is the absenc...

In this paper, an analysis comparing the efficiency of different test strategies on a moderate complexity mixedsignal circuit is presented. Selected test strategies from the groups of functional, structural and parametric approaches were applied for the circuit test while considering bridging faults introduced into the circuit layout. The faults were extracted from the layout of the circuit. Fa...

Synthetic biology promises to revolutionize biotechnology by providing the means to reengineer and reprogram cellular regulatory mechanisms. However, synthetic gene circuits are often unreliable, as changes to environmental conditions can fundamentally alter a circuit's behavior. One way to improve robustness is to use intrinsic properties of transcription factors within the circuit to buffer a...

There are a wide range of applications in which it would be useful to have a small synthetic biology circuit that could reliably classify cell state. For example, in [5], the authors propose cancer therapy based on a circuit that uses miRNA markers to test whether a cell belongs to a particular type of cancer and then kills only those cells. The authors then demonstrate an miRNA classifier that...

Industrial circuits contain, in addition to the binary logic elements n]and, n]or and n]xor gates, other logic elements such as three-state elements, busses and bidirectionals. Previous published work on automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) can not handle all of the above mentioned circuit elements, generates too large test sets, or generates test patterns which can cause circuit damage. A ...
