The embedding of test patterns into a sequential circuit is the main topic of this paper. Deterministic test patterns for the sequential circuit under test are chosen to be embedded into hybrid cellular automata (CA). Test identification and C.A synthesis are performed in parallel thus overcoming results achieved by embedding pre-computed vectors. The theory of sequential test generation under ...

Due to the increased applications of agents, Agent-oriented software becomes large and complex. To support systematic developments of such a software, Agent-oriented software development methodology needs to be developed. This paper focuses on modeling phase of agent-oriented software development. For the Agent-oriented software modeling, Agent Elicitation method, Intra and Inter Agent modeling...

Standard economic theory predicts that if property rights to pollute are clearly established, equilibrium outcomes in an effi cient emissions permit market will be independent of how the emissions permits are initially distributed. This so-called independence property has important implications for policy design and implementation. Past studies document a strong positive correlation between the...

Results: Of the 34 patients whose records were reviewed, 25 fulfilled all diagnostic criteria for SCLS. The median age at diagnosis of SCLS was 44 years. Median follow-up of surviving patients was 4.9 years, and median time to diagnosis from symptom onset was 1.1 years (interquartile range, 0.5-4.1 years). Flulike illness or myalgia was reported by 14 patients (56%) at onset of an acute attack ...

UNLABELLED The serial analysis of chromatin occupancy technique (SACO) promises to become a widely used method for the unbiased genome-wide experimental identification of loci bound by a transcription factor of interest. We describe the first web-based automatic tool, termed sequence tag analysis and reporting tool (START), for processing SACO data generated by experiments performed for the yea...

abstract   background : the application of du emanation for first time contaminated certain areas in the south west region of iraq after the second gulf war (1991). these contaminated areas were discovered in 1994. radioactive contamination was detected using the nuclear enterprise pcm5/1 in soil samples collected from two regions near by grazing lands. this study was done for assessment of du ...

This paper will discuss about the role of the geopolitical location of South Africa in the development of movie and the cinema industry in this country. Despite of bringing ci-nema to South Africa by white Europeans, but the development of this phenomenon is mostly due to the geopolitical position of this country. It is interesting to know that ci-nema reached Africa in much the same time as it...

Recent meat demand models incorporate demand functions for cuts of meat rather than whole carcasses. However, parameters for “meat quality” are seldom included in such models. Modelling difficulty arises as meat cuts are heterogeneous in their quality attributes. Meat quality may be assessed by measurement of attributes including tenderness, juiciness and flavour. Cooking method and cooking tim...

Probiotics have been suggested to be of use in many diarrhoeal disorders, particularly in the prophylaxis and treatment of infectious diarrhoea. Several different preparations are available commercially and they are widely used but consistent scientific documentation of their efficacy is lacking. Although their putative mode of action is not known, non-pathogenic organisms may prevent or displa...
