Aim To assess whether flexible species distribution models that perform well at nearby testing locations still strongly when evaluated on spatially separated data. Location Australian Wet Tropics (AWT), Ontario, Canada (CAN), north-east New South Wales, Australia (NSW), Zealand (NZ), five countries of America (SA), and Switzerland (SWI). Time period Most data were collected between 1950 2000. M...

The demand of self-testing proportionally increases with memory size in System on Chip (SoC). SoC architecture normally occupies the majority of its area by memories. Due to increase in density of embedded memories, there is a need of self-testing mechanism in SoC design. Therefore, this research study focuses on this problem and introduces a smooth solution for self-testing.  In the proposed m...

Well test analysis of multi-layer reservoir comprises several parts. The first part concerns the estimation of parameters values and next considers finding an appropriate method to determine the unknown reservoir parameters. If the initial estimations are less accurate and weak, the final assessment may lead to incorrect results, which are totally different from the reality. Utilizing Automated...

Memories are most important building blocks in many digital systems. As the Integrated Circuits requirements are growing, the test circuitry must grow as well. There is a need for more efficient test techniques with low power and high speed. Many Memory Built in Self-Test techniques have been proposed to test memories. Compared with combinational and sequential circuits memory testing utilizes ...

This paper examines the impact of income risk on the level of well-being of rural households in Nigeria. While income risk is defined as the risks associated with variability in income well-being is defined in terms of the level of utility reached by a given individual. This level is a function of goods and services that the individual consumes. The study is based on primary data collected from...

In their seminal article " Saving the Phenomena " , James Bogen and James Woodward argue that phenomena, not data, are the explananda of scientific theories (Bogen & Woodward 1988). By suggesting that phenomena are " relatively stable and general features of the world " , (Woodward 1989, 393), which are " detectable by means of a variety of different procedures " (Bogen & Woodward 1988, 317), t...
