Periodic motion involving a swinging pendulum was studied. As the pendulum oscillated, its motion was captured using video and computer technology. When analyzed, the period of the motion was found to be given by two multiplied by Pi multiplied by the square root of the quantity of the pendulum’s length divided by the acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the period, or time to complete a ful...

It is often regarded as best-practice that the case the developer that writes a program, and the tester that tests the program, are different people. This supposedly allows unbiased testing. This separation is also motivated by economic reasons. As a result, the tester, especially in black-box testing, is oblivious to the underlying code. Thus, when a bug is found, the tester can only file a bu...

VLSI chips have been tested using various automatic test equipment (ATE). Although each ATE has a similar structure, the language for ATE is proprietary and it is not easy to convert a test program for use among different ATE vendors. To address this difficulty we propose a tester structure expression language, a tester language with a novel format. The developed language is called the general ...

In the context of language recognition, we demonstrate the superiority of streaming property testers against streaming algorithms and property testers, when they are not combined. Initiated by Feigenbaum et al., a streaming property tester is a streaming algorithm recognizing a language under the property testing approximation: it must distinguish inputs of the language from those that are ε-fa...

A 16-year-old Class II female patient was treated without tooth extraction. The upper first molars were distalized by the Pendulum appliance. After six months, the molars tipped significantly to the distal. To correct this side effect, we decided to upright the molars using skeletal anchorage. On each side, a mini-screw was inserted between first and second premolars in the buccal cortical plat...

general and specific combining ability of some rice lines and cultivars with irri sources were determined using the line × tester procedure (5 pure lines were crossed with 4 local cultivars as tester). parents and their progenies were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the research field of iran rice research institute. traits such as yield and its componen...

A q-query locally testable code (LTC) is an error correcting code that can be tested by a randomized algorithm that reads at most q symbols from the given word. An important question is whether there exist LTCs that have the c3 property: constant relative rate, constant relative distance, and that can be tested with a constant number of queries. Such codes are sometimes referred to as “asymptot...

The purpose of this study was to examine the intra-tester and inter-tester reliability of chest expansion (CE) using a tape measure, in people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and healthy subjects. Twenty-two subjects with AS with a mean age of 41.4 years and 25 healthy subjects with a mean age of 41.0 years were tested in two arm positions: hands on head and arms at the sides, the tape measure...

INTRODUCTION The present study examines the inter-tester and intra-tester reliability of the recently developed scale for Screening of Activity Limitation and Safety Awareness (SALSA) in North-West Nigeria. The scale was developed through collaborative research in five countries around the world. METHODOLOGY One hundred and three people affected by leprosy from three states in North-West Nige...

This report describes a new disintegration tester that can determine not only the disintegration time of orally rapidly disintegrating tablets (ODT), but also the disintegration behavior and mechanism. Using the tester, the disintegration properties of the tablets prepared in a previous study were examined. The purpose of this study is to confirm the utility of the tester as an instrument for e...
