We present a scaling methodology to improve iDDT fault coverage in random logic circuits. The study targets two iDDT test methods: Double Threshold iDDT and Delayed iDDT . The effectiveness of the scaling methodology is assessed through physical test measurements, and studied relative to process variation and impact on circuit performance. The scaling is made possible using a clustering methodo...

In the present paper we continue the investigation of the so-called Coalescing Ideal Gas in one dimension, initiated by the rst author in 7]. The model consists of point-like particles moving with velocities 1 which coalesce and chose a fresh velocity with the same distribution, when colliding. In the previous paper 7] various identities in law were derived for the innnitely extended system. In...

The specialization of equid limbs for cursoriality is a classic case of adaptive evolution, but the role of the axial skeleton in this famous transition is not well understood. Extant horses are extremely fast and efficient runners, which use a stiff-backed gallop with reduced bending of the lumbar region relative to other mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that stiff-backed running in ho...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of cervical joint manipulation on joint position sense (JPS) of normal adults. [Subjects] Thirty normal adults were divided into a test group of 15 subjects and a control group of 15 subjects. [Methods] The test group was treated with cervical joint manipulation and massage, whereas the control group received only massage. Both gro...

The finite element (FE) method has been widely used to investigate knee biomechanics. Time integration algorithms for dynamic problems in finite element analysis can be classified as either implicit or explicit. Although previously both static/dynamic implicit and dynamic explicit method have been used, a comparative study on the outcomes of both methods is of high interest for the knee modelin...

Biomechanical simulations of tendon transfers performed following tetraplegia suggest that surgical tensioning influences clinical outcomes. However, previous studies have focused on the biomechanical properties of only the transferred muscle. We developed simulations of the tetraplegic upper limb following transfer of the brachioradialis (BR) to the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) to examine the ...

High temperature gradients in System on Chip (SoC) lowered the performances, reliability and leakage power. In addition, during testing gain more compared to normal operation. Therefore, investigation of impact dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS) thermal aware test scheduling performance will be main contribution this work. The algorithm which embeds effect with supply is tested ITC’02 ben...
