This paper describes an AI planner assisted approach to generate test cases for system testing based on high level test objectives. Test generation is based on an extended UML model of the system under test and a mapping of high-level test objectives into initial and goal conditions of the planner. We illustrate the use of this approach on a series of high level test objectives one might apply ...

In larger development projects, DSP programming groups often operate in a separate silo from the GPP and FPGA programmers. This is a problem because the groups must coordinate their efforts in order to design an optimal system architecture and to allocate functionality optimally. This coordination can be time-consuming and challenging. What's more, any changes to the system architecture or func...

We demonstrate a silo-filter (SF) complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor for a chip-scale fluorescence microscope. The extruded pixel design with metal walls between neighboring pixels guides fluorescence emission through the thick absorptive filter to the photodiode of a pixel. Our prototype device achieves 13 μm resolution over a wide field of view (4.8 mm × 4.4 mm). We d...

on of the most important of sugar beets quality is amount of sodium and potassium, because this compounds are strongly molassogenic and reduction of yield. so , attention on reasons that change this compound in sugar beets and consequently in produced juice are very important. in this study, effect of size of sugar beet (obtained from different areas) on changes of sodium and potassium are inve...

Fatal hydrogen sulphide poisoning usually occurs in confined spaces. We report two fatal accidents in unconfined spaces. The first accident caused the death of three workers who entered an unconfined room in a silo of sludge at the same time that a truck dumped several tons of sludge from water purification stations. The hydrogen sulphide that had accumulated inside the silo spilled out into th...

Forensic science is increasingly relied on by police and the courts to exonerate the innocent and to establish links to crime. With this increased reliance the potential for unjust outcomes increases, especially in serious matters for two reasons. The more serious the matter, the more likely that evidence mishandling can lead to wrongful imprisonment, and the more likely the personnel involved ...

A full-term male baby presented at day 2 postnatal with Riedel liver lobe, stomach, and much of the bowel herniating through a thoracic wall defect located just above and lateral to the left nipple. Operative conversion into a gastroschisis-like defect with construction of a silo bag was done. On thorough review of literature, it was found that this is only the second male infant reported with ...

The presence of moisture content in a silo makes the preservation grain stock challenging especially when dealing with large stock. This made it as major concern for engineers to preserve crops grains and avoid huge losses. By installing screw inside silo, problem could be avoided by stirring loaded granular bed alongside aeration, also effective mix different types materials. present work has ...

We study the outflow dynamics and clogging phenomena of mixtures soft, elastic low-friction spherical grains hard frictional spheres similar size in a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) silo with narrow orifice at bottom.
