INTRODUCTION: Anatomical marker placement reliability is an important consideration in 3D gait analysis given its influence on defining joint centers, anatomical coordinate systems (ACSs), and ultimately the resulting joint kinematic outputs. It has been postulated that gait kinematic reliability could be improved using a functional (FUN) method compared to a manual marker placement approach (M...

A novel approach for using an embedded processor to aid in deterministic testing of the other components of a system-on-a-chip (SOC) is presented. The tester loads a program along with compressed test data into the processor’s on-chip memory. The processor executes the program which decompresses the test data and applies it to scan chains in the other components of the SOC to test them. The pro...

Large contact forces on granules could give rise to undesirable attrition. In a new device, referred as the Particle Shear and Impact tester, are subjected repeated sequential impact shearing, latter effected by two counter-rotating rollers with differential angular speeds an adjustable gap between rollers. This enables force distribution be varied in order apply representative forces, experien...

a study was conducted on genetics of some important agronomic traits (number of productive tillers per hill, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), number of spikelets per panicle and 100-grain weight) in rice during 2012-13. two lines were crossed with five testers in line × tester fashion to produce 10 f1 hybrids. analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes and cros...

Introduction While the vast majority of clinical MRI sequences utilize Cartesian sampling strategies, in a growing number of applications nonCartesian schemes are being employed for a variety of technical reasons. For example, our own motivation is diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) wherein we use spiral trajectories [1], in part because they facilitate efficient self-navigation schemes for artifac...

tm is a program designed to test systems by simulating over-exaggerated use. The program can be used to check the accuracy of shared resources of a system or determine if a system will fail under intensive use. The simulation of users is done by threads running scripts. The configuration of tm and a description of the scripting language is included. A real test using tm is described and the res...

The sheer complexity of Web applications and inadequate approaches to analyze, design or update such projects generate incorrect environments, which are the source of potential risks. Poor applications reflect low availability, maintenance difficult and questionable efficiency in the services they provide. At present the quality assurances schemes still performed manually. A group of evaluators...
