Pre-transfusion testing is performed to ensure the normal survival of transfused red blood cell products i.e. to prevent hemolytic transfusion reaction via immune-mediated mechanism [1]. The serological part of pre-transfusion testing includes; ABO group and Rh (D) type, antibody screening and crossmatching [2]. Antibody screening is included to detect unexpected antibody and was first introduc...

This paper deals with a study and a mathematical model of concurrent Points of Control and Observation (PCOs) realized in Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3). We study test scenarios that are gaining importance as TTCN-3 is emerging as a notation suitable for conducting load tests too. We investigate communication between parallel test components (PTCs) and analyze race conditi...

A system's efficiency is always determined by the performance like how the system responses to an input and what/ when /where the expected output is obtained, As performance and functionality are the most important features in a web application. Due to lack of multi-directional analysis, most of the software's are not exceeding the bench mark of perfection both in case of performance ...

Complement to standard E2611-09 of the American Society for Testing and Materials [Standard Test Method for Measurement of Normal Incidence Sound Transmission of Acoustical Materials Based on the Transfer Matrix Method (American Society for Testing and Materials, New York, 2009)] is proposed in order to measure normal incidence sound transmission loss of materials in a modified impedance tube u...

The strength of a corrugated container is usually determined and reported as crush strength under progressively increasing top-to-bottom compressive load. The test is performed in seconds in a controlled constant temperature and relative humidity environment. However, a dynamic strength test under controlled conditions cannot account for the reduction in load-carrying ability inherent in the ex...

To better understand the mechanical characteristics of biplane locked plating in small bone fixation, the present study compared the stability under cyclic cantilever loading of a 2-plate locked biplane (BPP) construct without interfragmentary compression with that of a single-plate locked construct with an additional interfragmentary screw (SPS) using surrogate bone models simulating Lapidus a...

The objective of this research project is to examine the use of FRP materials for bridge construction. In particular, this project utilizes glass FRP (GFRP) honeycomb sandwich panels. The installation of three bridges, one comprised solely of the FRP panels and two comprised of the FRP panels supported by steel girders, is outlined. Furthermore, results of preliminary testing conducted on the F...

N-Tier architecture is becoming increasingly important because of its scalability, availability and flexibility. There are different frameworks for testing tools which perform performance, load, stress, navigation, regression testing etc. The better framework should be in such a way that it should perform all the testing mechanism. For that purpose we are studying three of the testing tools Win...

Finite element analysis (FEA), CT based structural rigidity analysis (CTRA) and mechanical testing is performed to assess the compressive failure load of rat tibia with simulated lytic defects. Twenty rat tibia were randomly assigned to four equal groups (n=5). Three of the groups included a simulated defect at various locations: anterior bone surface (Group 1), posterior bone surface (Group 2)...
