In this paper, we study the problem of delay defect diagnosis based on statistical timing models. We propose a diagnosis algorithm that can effectively utilize statistical timing information based upon single defect assumption. We evaluate its performance and its applicability to single as well as multiple defect scenarios via statistical defect injection and simulation. With a statistical timi...

Prostaglandins F2alpha (PGF2α) or its analogues (e.g. cloprostenols and D cloprostenol) have been used to induce farrowing worldwide in pig farms, including in Thailand. However, the dose, route of administration and timing of injection of these hormones are still controversy. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide information based on literature search and some experiments which are p...

International Journal of Drug Policy, 2014; 25(4): 736-739. • Overdose and drug use data was collected at Insite, Vancouver Coastal’s supervised injection site, between March 2004 and December 2010. • By identifyi...

 In this work, time domain analysis is used to solve Adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. Mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked LC and Ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. Then, the analysis is verifie...

The quest for alternatefuels for a CI engine has become all the more imperative considering its importance in the economy of a nation and from the standpoint of preserving the environment. Reported in this paper are the combustion performance and P-θ characteristics of a CI engine operating on B20 biodiesel fuel derived from Jatropha oil.Itis observed that the twin effect of advancing the injec...

Fault tolerance is an essential part in the design of distributed computer systems [2]. Thus, testing algorithms for such systems often involves fault injection (FI) experiments to evaluate if the specified fault hypothesis holds for the implementation, i.e., faults can be seen as part of the valid input data of a fault-tolerant system. Basically, the different methods of FI can be grouped into...

We propose a model-based control strategy to adapt the injection settings according to the airpath dynamics of a conventional Diesel engine. This approach complements existing airpath and fuelpath controllers, and aims at accurately controlling the middle of combustion. For that purpose, start of injection is adjusted based on a combustion model and intake manifold conditions. In particular, no...

This paper describes a new post-silicon validation problem for diagnosing systematic timing errors. We illustrate the differences between timing validation and the traditional logic defect diagnosis. The key difference between our validation framework and other traditional diagnosis methods lies in our assumptions of the statistical circuit timing and statistical distribution of the size of tim...

Electromagnetic waves have been recently pointed out as a medium for fault injection within circuits featuring cryptographic modules. Indeed, it has been experimentally demonstrated by A. Dehbaoui et al. [3] that an electromagnetic pulse, produced with a high voltage pulse generator and a probe similar to that used to perform EM analyses, was susceptible to create faults exploitable from a cryp...
