This paper is devoted to the implementation of self-testing, which is one of the smart technologies. Self-testing contains two components: full set of test cases and built-in testing mechanism (self-testing mode). The test cases have been collected since project start and they have been used in integration, acceptance and regression testing. The built-in self-testing mode provides execution of ...

CSTP (Circular Self Test Path) is an attractive technique for testing sequential circuits in the nanometer era because it can easily provide at-speed test. But the area overhead of CSTP is high if random-pattern-resistant faults need to be reliably tested. This paper presents a deterministic CSTP (DCSTP) structure that embeds pre-computed test data with predictable area overhead. Experimental r...

A field experiment was performed to investigate the effect of several variables on helping behavior, using the express trains of the New York 8th Avenue Independent Subway as a laboratory on wheels. Four teams of students, each one made up of a victim, model, and two observers, staged standard collapses in which type of victim (drunk or ill), race of victim (black or white) and presence or abse...

In modern times, integrated circuits (ICs) are used in almost all electronic equipment ranging from household appliances to space shuttles and have revolutionized the world of electronics. Continuous reductions in the manufacturing costs as well as the size of this technology have allowed the development of very sophisticated ICs for common use. Post fabrication testing is necessary for each IC...

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a major problem in today's world, beingcharacterized by decreased bone mass and bone change. Due to deficiencyof theory-based studies in young population, especially in students, thereare significant knowledge gaps of effective planning. The present study wasperformed in response to this need. The present study investigated the effect of an empowerment program on p...

An explicit representation of an arbitrary zero-mean distribution as the mixture of (at-most-)two-point zero-mean distributions is given. Based in this representation, tests for (i) asymmetry patterns and (ii) for location without symmetry conditions can be constructed. Exact inequalities implying conservative properties of such tests are presented. These developments extend results established...
