TESTING AND TESTABLE design continue to play a prominent role in the design and manufacture of ICs. New process technologies, higher chip complexity, and, increasingly, clock frequencies have led to a steady increase in test cost in recent years. Consequently, the semiconductor industry is especially concerned with managing test cost and ensuring product quality through advances in DFT, low-cos...

Now-a-days software has a great impact on different aspects of human life. Software systems are responsible for safety of major critical tasks. To prevent catastrophic malfunctions, promising quality testing techniques should be used during software development. Software testing is an effective technique to catch defects, but it significantly increases the development cost. Therefore, automated...

This paper presents an extended version of Deeper, a search-based simulation-integrated test solution that generates failure-revealing scenarios for testing deep neural network-based lane-keeping system. In the newly proposed version, we utilize new set bio-inspired search algorithms, genetic algorithm (GA), ( μ + λ ) $$ \left(\mu +\lambda \right) and , \left(\mu, \lambda evolution strategies (...

Background: despite the development of new highly effective treatments in field Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) still remains a potentially curative option for virtually all type NHL. Due to concerns about its high toxicity, alloHSCT NHL is reserved as ultimate line treatment. Introduction reduced intensity conditioning regimens, usage...

QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY / PRINCIPLES Interest groups advocate centre-specific outcome data as a useful tool for patients in choosing a hospital for their treatment and for decision-making by politicians and the insurance industry. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) requires significant infrastructure and represents a cost-intensive procedure. It therefore qualifies as a prime target ...

Manually creating test cases is time consuming and error prone. Search-based software testing (SBST) can help automate this process and thus to reduce time and effort and increase quality by automatically generating relevant test cases. Previous research have mainly focused on static programming languages with simple test data inputs such as numbers. In this work we present an approach for sear...

INTRODUCTION Olfactory dysfunction is an early and common symptom in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). Recently, the relation between olfactory dysfunction and cognitive loss in IPD has been reported. In our study, we aimed to investigate the relation between olfactory dysfunction and cognitive impairments in early IPD related with this theory. METHODS In this study, we included 28 patien...
