The efficiency of pseudo-exhaustive test generation is strictly limited by the maximal number of inputs to be enumerated, since n inputs require a test length of 2n . In contrast to other approaches, the proposed self-test method also takes the fault model into account. In addition to the conventionally used structural circuit information, so-called "functional independencies" can be computed. ...

Configurations of adders and registers, which are available in tnany datapaths, can be utilized to generate pattems and to compact test responses. This paper unalyzes tlie patiern sequences produced by different types of accuriiulators and shows that they can achieve similar ,fault coverage as pseudo-random patterns. Corizpared to file well-known selftest tnethods that insert test registers, th...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We analyzed Lead II in patients undergoing an Oral Flecainide Challenge test (FCT), to identify any pointers that could predict a positive FCT and thereby help in recognition of latent BS. METHODS The following parameters in lead II were retrospectively analyzed from the pre-test ECG in 62 patients undergoing FCT for suspected BS: The presence or absence of S waves, ...

Environmental factors that affect spatiotemporal distribution patterns of animals usually include resource availability, temperature, and the risk of predation. However, they do not explain the counterintuitive preference of high elevation range in winter by the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti). We asked whether variation of sunshine along with elevations is the key drivi...

background because of great concerns about mortality and morbidity of infection in febrile neutropenic patients, the appropriate empirical antibiotic should be started immediately. although there are established guidelines for the use of empirical therapy, local microbiological pattern and antibiotic susceptibility should be considered. objectives the current study aimed to identify the etiolog...
