Standard introductory texts on statistical methods in psychology deal with tests on means, variances, correlations, and proportions prior to treating the analysis of variance. Generally, excluding ANOVA, they cover a maximum of 12 testing situations, dealing with, for each of the above four parameters, a “1-Sample,” “2-Sample Independent,” and “Two-Sample Dependent” hypothesis test. Many books ...

In this paper we present factorized test generation techniques that can be used to generate test cases from a specification that is modelled as a labelled transition system. The test generation techniques are able to construct a sound (and complete) test suite for correctness criterion miocoF [5] by splitting up this correctness criterion into many simpler correctness criteria, and by generatin...

This paper reports on the pilot question answering track that was carried out within the CLEF initiative this year. The track was divided into monolingual and bilingual tasks: monolingual systems were evaluated within the frame of three non-English European languages, Dutch, Italian and Spanish, while in the crosslanguage tasks an English document collection constituted the target corpus for It...

Abstract Each year, the world's top orange producers output millions of oranges for human consumption. This production is projected to grow by as much as 64 million in 2010 and so the demand for fast, low-cost and precise a...

The traditional theory of Laplace transformation (TLT) as it was put forward by Gustav Doetsch was principally intended to provide an operator calculus for ordinary derivable functions of the t-domain. As TLT does not account for the behavior of the inverse L-transform at t = 0 its validity is essentially confined to t > 0. However, from solutions of linear differential equations (DEs) one can ...

1.Problem of High-Speed Interface Macro Testing Because the function of the chip is guaranteed, the high-speed function test is important. Moreover, it is an important issue in LSI test how cheaply to do this test. The high-speed function test in an internal logical circuit can be tested by using BIST methodology and the output clock of PLL with a low-speed and low-cost ATE. However, the high-s...

We investigate two aspects of the empirical behavior of paired significance tests for NLP systems. First, when one system appears to outperform another, how does significance level relate in practice to the magnitude of the gain, to the size of the test set, to the similarity of the systems, and so on? Is it true that for each task there is a gain which roughly implies significance? We explore ...

Purpose – The purpose of this research paper is to examine the early stages of a research project aimed at evaluating the pedagogic effectiveness of a teaching module in computing ethics. Design/methodology/approach – Scores of students’ cognitive capabilities to make moral judgements were measured before and after they had taken the module by means of the “Defining Issues Test” (DIT). This is ...

Ninety-one Escherichia coli strains isolated from porcine neonatal diarrhea, representing 28 O-groups and rough and non-O-groupable strains, were examined for enterotoxigenicity (heat stable [ST] or heat labile [LT]) by using bacterial suspensions in intestinal loop tests in 3- to 7-week-old piglets and culture supernatant fluids in the Y1 adrenal cell test, the 18-h rabbit intestinal loop test...

abstract background: the loop colostomy is one of the most popular techniques used as a protective maneuver for a distal anastomosis and/or temporary fecal diversion. we are introducing the use of a full thickness skin bridge under the large bowel instead of a glass rod which alleviates problems such as protrusion of the large bowel, retraction of the bowel into the abdomen after removing the r...
