Designing a testable circuit is often a two step process. First, the circuit is designed to conform to the functional specifications. Then, the testability aspects are added. By taking the test strategy into account during the synthesis of the circuit, the overhead due to the test features can be reduced. We present a synthesis-for-scan procedure, called beneficial scan, that orders the scan ch...

Designing a scannable circuit is typically a two-step process. The circuit is first designed to meet the functional specifications, without taking the scan path into consideration. The circuit is then analyzed, and the scan path is inserted based on this analysis. When the scan path is considered during the synthesis of a circuit rather than after the synthesis, the overhead due to the scan pat...

Genomic data are growing exponentially and are daily searched by thousands of biologists. To reduce the search time, efficient parallelism can be exploited by dispatching data among a cluster of processing units able to scan locally and independently their own data. If PC clusters are well suited to support this type of parallelism, we propose to substitute PCs by reconfigurable hardware closel...

Advances in next-generation sequencing technology have made it possible to comprehensively interrogate the entire spectrum of genomic variations including rare variants. They may help capture the remaining genetic heritability which has not been fully explained by previous genome-wide association studies. Here we performed a gene-based genome-wide scan to identify hypertension susceptibility lo...

Whole-genome array Comparative Genomics Hybridization (aCGH) can be used to scan chromosomes for deletions and amplifications. Because of the increased accessibility of many commercial platforms, a lot of cancer researchers have used aCGH to study tumorigenesis or to predict clinical outcomes. Each data set is typically in several hundred thousands to one million rows of hybridization measureme...

trauma is the most common reason in 1-34 years olds. in patient with multiple traumas, the head is the most common involved part. the importance of computed tomography (ct scan) in diagnosis of brain trauma is well established and ct of the brain is a choice method. finding lesion in brain traumatic patient is very important so goal of this study is finding of brain ct scan in traumatic patient...

this paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

a wireless sensor network (wsn) is a wireless decentralized structure network consists of many nodes. nodes can be fixed or mobile. wsn applications typically observe some physical phenomenon through sampling of the environment so determine the location of events is an important issue in wsn. wireless localization used to determine the position of nodes. the precise localization in wsns is a co...
