We present a new pseudorandom testing algorithm f o r the Built-In Self-Test (BIST) of DRAM. In this algorithm, test patterns are complemented to generate state-transitions that are needed f o r the detection of coulping faults. A s a result, the number of test patterns required is less than half of the traditional method, while the extra hardware is negligible.

Given a function f : [n] → {0, 1}, its k-wise direct product encoding is the function F : [n]k → {0, 1}k defined by F (x1, . . . , xk) = (f(x1), . . . , f(xk)). This simple “encoding” is useful in PCP-like settings, when we want to simulate reading k arbitrary values of f by accessing only a constant number of inputs of the encoding F . The main challenge is to test that a given F is indeed a ”...

The note describes the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system developed at the Computer Science and Engineering Department, Jadavpur University, India. In this competition, we have participated and submitted the results in the RTE-7 Main Task (3 runs), Novelty Task (3 runs) and RTE-7 KBP Validation task (2 unique runs for generic task and 2 unique runs for tailored task). For the RTE7 Main...

Radioligand positron emission tomography (PET) with dual scan paradigms can provide valuable insight into changes in synaptic neurotransmitter concentration due to experimental manipulation. The residual t-test has been utilized to improve the sensitivity of the t-test in PET studies. However, no further development of statistical tests using residuals has been proposed so far to be applied in ...

Using Tukey-Kramer versus the ANOVA F-test as the omnibus test of the Hayter-Fisher procedure for comparing all pairs of normally distributed means, when sample sizes are unequal, is investigated. Simulation results suggest that using Tukey-Kramer leads to as much or more any-pairs power compared to using the F-test for certain patterns of mean differences, and equivalent per-pair and all-pairs...

f(x) < 0, f(x) > 0. (1) Since f is continuous, the intermediate-value theorem guarantees the existence of some x∗ ∈ I satisfying f(x∗) = 0. The calculation of (1) can be verified by a computer. Hence, (1) describes an existence test for n = 1. We want to point out that the existence tests shall be performed by a computer; i.e., the test (1) shall be done by a computer. But as we will see in the...
