A 22 table may arise from three types of sampling, depending on the number of previously fixed marginals, and may yield three possible, differing, probabilistic models. From the unconditional point of view each model requires a specific solution but, within each model, the calculation time increases as the test procedure chosen is more powerful, and, between the models, the calculation time de...

This B.Sc. thesis report documents an implementation of the Pastry Distributed Hash Table (DHT) for the Network Simulator 3 (NS-3) simulation environment. To our knowledge, this thesis constitutes the first and only effort to cover the lack of any Pastry implementation for the NS-3 discrete event simulator. Given that NS-3 comes as an open source distribution, it is expected to meet the high de...

The role of tilt table testing as a diagnostic modality in children with unexplained syncope is unclear. We sent a questionnaire to members of the Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society to assess the current practice pattern. Of the 186 members, 97 (52%) replied. Twenty four percent of the pediatric electrophysiologists have completely stopped doing tilt table tests and of those per...

PURPOSE Vasovagally mediated hypotension and bradycardia are believed to be common, but difficult to diagnose, causes of syncope. Upright tilt-table testing has been proposed as a possible way to test for vasovagal episodes. This study investigated the clinical utility of this technique in the evaluation and management of patients with syncope of unknown origin. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-fi...

An entropr based approach for test nodes or test frequencies selection in analog testing is proposed in this work. Tlre ntetltod uses fault-wise tables which represenl test node anrbiguitt' groups. Fault-wise table is compared to the decision table itt the rough set theon,. Selection of the test poirtts is reduced to selection of fault-wise table columns which do not reduce design diagnosabili4...

This paper presents a dynamic nonlinear numerical simulation of a 5-story full-scale steel frame structure based on Perform-3D. Flexibility-based fiber element and Maxwell model are adopted for structure member simulation after a post analysis of the shaking table test of a 4-story full-scale steel frame. The author simulates the low cyclic reciprocating load test for the steel members with fib...

This study based on free vibration analysis and study the behavior of framed structure under different frequency of vibration using ANSYS software and shaking table. A small scale uni-axial shaking table was prepared in laboratory, which can produce lower to moderate vibration, regarding frequency and velocity. Moment resisting framed structures constructed with connecting beam and column eleme...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the predictive value of an intravenous fluid bolus during tilt table testing on clinical outcome and to evaluate of oral therapy is an effective treatment for patients with vasodepressor syncope. DESIGN Retrospective cohort. SETTING Regional pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic. PATIENTS Patients (N = 58) with a positive baseline tilt table testing result who we...
