Process capability analysis (PCA) is the ability of a process that measures the degree of providing customer expectations. Generally, the expectations of customer have been defined by using specification limits. A process capability index (PCI) summarizes ability of process to conform specification limits. Generally, this comparison is made by analyzing ratio of specification limits and six-sig...

Bugs in user input sanitation of software systems often lead to vulnerabilities. Among them many are caused by improper use of regular replacement. This paper presents a precise modeling of various semantics of regular substitution, such as the declarative, finite, greedy, and reluctant, using finite state transducers (FST). By projecting an FST to its input/output tapes, we are able to solve a...

This paper studies the precise modeling of various semantics of regular substitution, such as the declarative, finite, greedy, and reluctant replacement, using finite state transducers (FST) as filters. By projecting an FST of regular replacement to its input/output tapes, we are able to solve atomic string constraints, which can be applied to both the forward and backward image computation in ...

Duloxetine is a selective serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor used as antidepressant. However, its mechanisms of action are not fully understood. This study investigated the effect of duloxetine in the mouse forced swimming test (FST) and in the tail suspension test (TST) and the involvement of the NMDA receptors and the l-arginine-NO-cGMP pathway in its effect in the FST. Duloxetine...

The par stability determinant of Enterococcus faecalis plasmid pAD1 is the only antisense RNA-regulated addiction module identified to date in gram-positive bacteria. par encodes two small, convergently transcribed RNAs, designated RNA I and RNA II, that function as the toxin (Fst)-encoding and antitoxin components, respectively. Previous work showed that structures at the 5' end of RNA I are i...

INTRODUCTION In the setting of early acute kidney injury (AKI), no test has been shown to definitively predict the progression to more severe stages. METHODS We investigated the ability of a furosemide stress test (FST) (one-time dose of 1.0 or 1.5 mg/kg depending on prior furosemide-exposure) to predict the development of AKIN Stage-III in 2 cohorts of critically ill subjects with early AKI....

INTRODUCTION The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) fluorescent spot test (FST) is a useful screening test for G6PD deficiency, but is unable to detect heterozygote G6PD-deficient females. We sought to identify whether reporting intermediate fluorescence in addition to absent and bright fluorescence on FST would improve identification of mildly deficient female heterozygotes. METHODS A ...

A large collection of T-DNA insertion transformants of Arabidopsis thaliana has been generated at the Institute of Agronomic Research, Versailles, France. The molecular characterisation of the insertion sites is currently performed by sequencing genomic regions flanking the inserted T-DNA (FST). The almost complete sequence of the nuclear genome of A.thaliana provides the framework for organisi...

In this paper we describe our work involving the conversion of our phonologically-based synthesizer into a finite-state transducer (FST) representation which can be used for real-time natural-sounding synthesis. We have designed a transducer structure to efficiently perform the common task of unit selection in concatenative speech synthesis. By encapsulating domainindependent concatenative synt...

We propose a finite-state transducer (FST) representation for the models used to decode keyboard inputs on mobile devices. Drawing from learnings from the field of speech recognition, we describe a decoding framework that can satisfy the strict memory and latency constraints of keyboard input. We extend this framework to support functionalities typically not present in speech recognition, such ...
