This paper presents a Computer Aided Testability tool named STA (System Testability Assistant), aiming at proposing a testa-bility strategy for systems as early as possible in the design process. Given a system description, STA rst compiles it in order to create system, boards, and circuits objects, and then proceeds bottom-up, from the circuit to the system, in order to evaluate the actual tes...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Imbibition of Japanese soybean (Glycine max) cultivars was studied using micro-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in order to elucidate the mechanism of soaking injury and the protective role of the seed coat. METHODS Time-lapse images during water uptake were acquired by the single-point imaging (SPI) method at 15-min intervals, for 20 h in the dry seed with seed coat, and ...

UNLABELLED • PREMISE OF THE STUDY Assessing seed quality in orchids has been hindered by stringent germination requirements. Seed quality has traditionally been assessed in orchids using in vitro or in situ germination protocols or viability staining. However, these methods are not always well suited for rapid assessment of viability in the context of ecological studies.• METHODS The potent...

abstract in order to evaluate the effect of testa on reduction of fungal growth and aflatoxin b1 producthon, ten cultivars of pistachio were collected from different parts of pistachio belt i-e rafsanjan, damghan and ghazvin of iran. a section of testa and one mm of endosperm were scraped. 20 gr. of wounded kernels and 20 gr. of unwounded kernels were surface sterilized and then placed in petri...

Los procesos postcosecha en los granos de cacao son determinantes para el desarrollo aromas específicos. Sin embargo, dichas reacciones están supeditadas a las características iniciales la semilla, dadas por genética del material; haciendo importante conocer sus condiciones específicas y así lograr que posibles mezclas durante fermentación sean más adecuadas. De acuerdo con lo anterior, present...
