Framework for Improving the Testing Process When I wrote my book Critical Testing Processes in the early 2000s, I started with the premise that some test processes are critical, some are not. I designed this lightweight framework for test process improvement in order to focus the test team and test manager on a few test areas that they simply must do properly. This contrasts with the more expan...

Accurate equilibrium properties of the ground and the three lowest excited states of the trimethylenemethane ~TMM! diradical are calculated by using the novel spin–flip electronic structure method. Changes in structures and vibrational frequencies upon excitation are analyzed. The bonding picture in different states of TMM is derived from wave function analysis and comparison of equilibrium str...

This paper investigates a 3D reconstruction based on the ultrasonic scanned data for tissue mimicking material (TMM) sample. A two-step varied window filter is developed to smooth ultrasound backscatter signals at first. Next, the anisotropic diffusion filter with a triangular window is presented to reduce the noise of the 2D images by aligning one-dimensional signals. Finally, the 3D structure...

In the subject of traffic microsimulation model (TMM) calibration, measure performance (MoP) plays an essential role. However, due to diversity MoP types, choosing a or combination (usually used for multi-criteria calibration strategy) that can represent characteristics field operation has become key problem. This paper proposed quantitative analysis approach (suitable, in general, any TMM) wit...

In the traditional micromilling (TMM) of Inconel718 alloy, due to influence material plasticity and size effect, relatively large burr will be produced. order hinder forming in micromilling, ultrasonic vibration feed direction is applied workpiece complete cutting. Combined with trajectory simulation cutting experiment, formation mechanism TMM assisted (UVAMM) was studied. The results show that...

The HLAMatchmaker program is based on the donor/recipient comparison of the polymorphic triplet amino-acid sequences of the antibody-accessible regions on the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) molecule. The previous reports on its predictive value for renal allograft outcomes are conflicting. We conducted a retrospective study in a predominantly African-American (AA) cohort (N = 101, 94% AA). HLA t...
