Most companies are under heavy time and resource constraints when it comes to testing a software system. Test prioritization technique(s) allows the most useful tests to be executed first, exposing faults earlier in the testing process. Thus makes software testing more efficient and cost effective by covering maximum faults in minimum time. But test case prioritization is not an easy and straig...

PURPOSE To examine the laboratory test ordering patterns of interns to determine the effects of more senior residents' and attendings' supervision on trainees' patterns and residents' perceptions of control in test ordering. METHOD In a 2007 cohort study of 2,066 patients cared for by 85 interns, 56 residents, and 27 attendings on the University of Pennsylvania general medical hospitalist ser...

Let B be the operation of re-ordering a sequence by one pass of bubble sort. We completely answer the question of when the inverse image of a principal pattern class under B is a pattern class.

INTRODUCTION Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering are two major components of the auditory temporal processing abilities that contribute to speech perception and language development. Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering can be evaluated by gap-in-noise (GIN) and pitch-pattern-sequence (PPS) tests, respectively. In this survey, the effect of bilingu...

In this paper we prove some stochastic comparisons results for progressive type II censored order statistics. The problem of stochastically comparing concomitants of the two progressive type II censored order statistics with possibly different schemes, under different kinds of dependence between X and Y is considered and it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing (decreasing) in X, ...

BACKGROUND temporal ordering and temporal resolution. AIM to compare the performance of professional singers with that of well tuned and out of tune amateur singers in the pitch pattern test (PPT) and in the Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT). METHOD participants were 78 individuals, male and female, with ages ranging from 18 to 55 years. All of the participants were singers with normal heari...
