This paper analyzes the requirements of at-speed functional testing of high-speed devices. We conclude that, although the requirement forecast by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors is excessive, higher accuracy at-speed functional test systems are needed to qualify the high-performance devices anticipated in the next decade. We also conclude that, while challenging, the nec...

A test, called the Functional Test, that evaluates the integrated function of the total upper extremity of an adult hemiparetic patient has been developed. It was used with 82 patients admitted to Rancho Los Amigos Hospital for stroke rehabilitation, together with a battery of six objective test measures. Sequential testing by two examiners demonstrated that the test had interrater reliability....

| Functional debugging of application speci c integrated circuits (ASICs) has been recognized as a very labor-intensive and expensive process. We propose a new approach based on the divide and conquer optimization paradigm for the functional test pattern execution. The goal is to maximize the simultaneous controllability of an arbitrary set of the user selected variables in the design at the de...

Given k independent samples of functional data the problem of testing the null hypothesis of equality of their respective mean functions is considered. So the setting is quite similar to that of the classical one-way anova model but the k samples under study consist of functional data. A simple natural test for this problem is proposed. It can be seen as an asymptotic version of the well-known ...

abstract background and aim: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the cephalometric changes in class ii division 1 mandibular deficient patients treated with farmand functional appliance.  methods and materials: twenty-seven subjects (17 girls and 10 boys) with the mean age of 11.1±1.4 years were involved in the present study. all the subjects were treated with farmand functional applia...

In this article, we describe a C/C++ program called SurfKin (Surface Kinetics) to construct microkinetic mechanisms for modeling gas-surface reactions. Thermodynamic properties of reaction species are estimated based on density functional theory calculations and statistical mechanics. Rate constants for elementary steps (including adsorption, desorption, and chemical reactions on surfaces) are ...

In this paper we suggest a scenario-based approach to analyzing non-functional properties of ASM ground models. It is based on well-founded evaluation methods from the software architecture field and enables a designer to reason about the quality features of his model, like e. g. maintainability or testability. A set of scenarios that represent a system’s non-functional requirements and the eva...

Because of the growing importance of object-oriented programming, a number of testing approaches have been proposed. Frankl et al. propose the application of the functional approach, using algebraic specifications for the generation of test cases and the validation of methods. Given a specification, Frankl et al. propose that equivalent terms should give observably equivalent objects, and offer...
