in the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. in this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using abaqus software. in this study, it has been employed the taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

Many quantitative traits are measured repeatedly during the life of an organism. Such traits are called dynamic traits. The pattern of the changes of a dynamic trait is called the growth trajectory. Studying the growth trajectory may enhance our understanding of the genetic architecture of the growth trajectory. Recently, we developed an interval-mapping procedure to map QTL for dynamic traits ...

AIM To reassess QT interval rate correction. BACKGROUND The QT interval is strongly and inversely related to heart rate. To compare QT intervals between different subjects with different heart rates requires the application of a QT interval rate correction formula. To date these formulae have inappropriately assumed a fixed relation between QT interval and heart rate. An alternative method of...

the search continues for a safe effective and cheap method for mid-trimester termination of pregnancy. misoprostol is a strong contender in this respect. the dose schedule is still not fixed. the objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and adverse effects of two dose regimens of vaginal misoprostol for second trimester termination. prospective randomized double blind controlled tria...

JTAG’s IEEE 1149.1 standard is a well-known method to access on-chip scan chains for testmode functionality. But a large part of the accessible test-modes are usually not documented. It will be shown that often these testmodes can be reverse-engineered by looking at the JTAG inputs and outputs. Undocumented test-modes can be pretty powerful tools in gaining “back door” access to a system.
