The following study adds to the extant literature by investigating (1) sexual function and (2) sexual satisfaction utilizing validated measures, and reporting on the relationship between sexual self-schemas and physiological (vaginal ph...

A good verification strategy should bring near the simulation and real functioning environments. In this paper we describe a system-level co-verification strategy that uses a common flow for functional simulation, timing simulation and functional debug. This last step requires using a BST infrastructure, now widely available on commercial devices, specially on FPGAs with medium/large pin-counts.
