Reliability of the current microprocessor technology is seriously challenged by radiation-induced soft errors. Accurate Vulnerability Factor (VF) modeling of system components is crucial in designing costeffective protection schemes in high-performance processors. Although Statistical Fault Injection (SFI) techniques can be used to provide relatively accurate VF estimations, they are often very...

Since blood flow is tightly coupled to the health status of biological tissue, several instruments have been developed to monitor blood flow and perfusion dynamics. One such instrument is laser speckle imaging. The goal of this study was to evaluate the use of two velocity distribution assumptions (Lorentzian- and Gaussian-based) to calculate speckle flow index (SFI) values. When the normalized...

Incidental to the purification of yeast DNA polymerase II was the observation that various chromatographic fractions contained activities that stimulated synthesis by this polymerase. In this paper we report the purification and initial characterization of one such factor, stimulatory factor I (SFI). SFI, which is associated with an apparent complex of three polypeptides of 66, 37, and 13.5 kDa...

Panel Abstract Software fault injection (SFI) is a controversial method for identifying errors and improving software. Many respected researchers believe the method holds promise, including the members on our panel, although with careful qualifications. On the other hand, COTS software manufacturers tend to view the method with skepticism for several reasons. One problem is the difficulty in ve...

An introduction to the workshop and its main aims. (1) To discuss the historical origins of the separation of development and inheritance and their description in genetic terms, and how this shaped the development of research programs within evolutionary biology; (2) To explore the possible implications of alternative conceptualizations of inheritance, and the development-heredity relationship,...

Suppose that we have the density ß›y;Sfi of a model with the null hypothesis of the form H 0;S = S 0 . Let L›Sfi be the log-likelihood function of the model and  S be the MLE of S. Wald test is based on the very intuitive idea that we are willing to accept the null hypothesis when  S is close to S 0 . The distance between  S and S 0 is the basis of constructing the test statistic. On the oth...

The presence of Aceh Qanun Number 11 2018 concerning Sharia Financial Institution (SFI) is an important breakthrough in building a Sharia-based economy Aceh. This goes hand with Aceh's privileges implementing Islamic law as stipulated the 8 2014 Principles Sharia. Hence, this research aims to scrutinize challenges investments after enactment SFI. study was conducted using normative legal method...
