The project focuses on examining the advantages of random verification with real examples. Random verification has two necessary parts, hierarchical testbench and coverage metrics. The layered testbench allows a verifier to improve the coverage by only modifying the randomization constraints at the highest level of abstraction. Although it might take a verifier more time to build such hierarchi...

Benefit package is crucial for implementing universal health coverage (UHC). This editorial analyses how the benefit package of the Thai Universal Coverage Scheme (UC Scheme) evolved from an implicit comprehensive package which covered all conditions and interventions (with a few exceptions), to additional explicit positive lists. In 2002 when the Thai UC Scheme was lau...

The conventional Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is composed of mobile nodes without any infrastructure supporting. But, emergent traffic such as real-time positioning by using wireless infrastructure is indeed required. Therefore, a deployment for mobile ad hoc network would associate WiMax with WiFi which is called 802.16e MANET Environment in this paper. Based on the 802.16e MANET environment,...

Fifteen states have adopted legislative mandates with an eye towards covering the costs associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART). This review summarizes the current state of ART coverage in the states in question and explores how the limits of mandated coverage constrain the access of certain infertile subjects to ART. Specifically, note is made of barriers compromising the access...

Code based (“white box”) approach to testing can be divided into two main types: control flow coverage and data flow coverage methods. Dataflow testing was introduced for structural programming languages and later adopted for object languages. Among many tools supporting code based testing of object programs, only JaBUTi and DFC (Data Flow Coverage) support dataflow testing of Java programs. DF...

The objective of this paper is to present a tool supporting dataflow coverage testing of Java programs. Code based (”white box”) approach to testing can be divided into two main types: control flow coverage and data flow coverage methods. Dataflow testing was introduced for structural programming languages and later adopted for object languages. Among many tools supporting code based testing of...

Those making health care coverage decisions rely on health technology assessment (HTA) for crucial technical information. But coverage decision-making, and the HTA that informs it, are also inherently political. They involve the values and judgments of a range of stakeholders as well as the public. Moreover, governments are politically accountable for their resource allocation decisions. Canadi...

Wireless sensor network (WSN) have recently come forth as an eminent technology for monitoring and event detection application. In WSN a large number of sensor nodes perform sensing of a target field. The target field is said to be ?-covered, if its every point is within the sensing range of at least ?sensors. The ?-coverage verification algorithm is proposed for verifying ?-coverage of a d-dim...

Due to the high costs of infertility treatment, many infertile Americans find themselves without the means to procreate.1 Compounding this issue, access to infertility treatment varies greatly from state-to-state largely due to the differences in state insurance coverage mandates.2 The access to infertility treatment, such as artificial reproductive technology (“ART”), often correlates to facto...

This article presents a controlled experiment that compares the behavior of the testing techniques Statement Coverage and All Uses. The design of this experiment is typical for a factor with two alternatives. A total of 14 subjects carry out tests on a single program. The results indicate that there is enough statistical evidence to state that the cost of executing All Uses is higher than that ...
