This project focuses on the feasibility of utilizing the lower cost passive RFID technology to track electronic test equipment for Raytheon Company. Although developed for a specific storeroom at Raytheon Company’s Network Centric Division’s (NCD) laboratory in Goleta, California, the project concepts and design are applicable to many portal-based asset tracking systems. The first part of the p...

Our team—Uvic-NLP—explored and evaluated a variety of lexical features for Native Language Identification (NLI) within the framework of ensemble methods. Using a subset of the highestperforming features, we train Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Fully Connected Neural Networks (FCNN) as base classifiers, and test different methods for combining their outputs. Restricting our scope to the close...

OBJECTIVES Odors used in an odor identification test should be familiar to the subject, but there are some unfamiliar distracters in Korean version of Sniffin' stick (KVSS) II identification test. In this study, we used the results of the original version of KVSS II identification to modify the KVSS II identification test. METHODS Eighty-three participants took an original version of KVSS II ...

A modified amidase test for differentiation of mycobacteria is described. A total of 224 atypical mycobacteria, 154 Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and 26 M. bovis strains were classified by this procedure. Of the 404 strains of various species studied, 400 exhibited an amidase spectrum identical to the established pattern. The simplicity of this method may promote its application in routine examin...

Adults □ Adolescents Groups for which this instrument might be especially helpful? Populations appropriate for a screening program using the AUDIT include primary care, emergency room, surgery, and psychiatric patients; DWI offenders, criminals in court, jail, and prison; enlisted men in the Armed Forces; workers encountered in employee assistance programs and industrial settings; and college s...

Twenty-nine of 30 strains of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis isolated from clinical specimens were serologically identified. No cross-reactions were observed with Mycobacterium avium serotypes 1, 2, 4, and 8.

We propose a new method to identify and test primitive faults in combinational circuits described as multi-level or two-level netlists. A primitive fault is a multiple path delay fault for which none of the single paths contained in the fault is robustly or non-robustly testable while the presence of the fault can degrade the circuit performance. Identiication and testing of primitive faults is...
