Concurrent detection of failures in analog circuits is becoming increasingly more important as safety-critical systems become more widespread. A methodology for the automatic design of concurrent failure detection circuitry for linear analog systems is discussed in this paper. In contrast to previous approaches, the methodology aims at providing coverage in terms of all the circuit components w...

despite all advances, treatment of esophageal carcinoma is still unsatisfactory. currently the standard non-surgical treatment of esophageal cancer is concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy (chemoradiation), with results comparable to best surgical series. a few years ago, we started a chemoradiation protocol for the cancer of esophagus as a curative treatment, of which we present the prelimi...

Performance of a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is quantified in terms of the JVM’s relative CPU availability at executing concurrent Java threads. The total CPU loading of a JVM is defined by the sum of the CPU utilization factors of all threads executing on the JVM. Sharp performance degradation has been observed while JVM executes concurrent threads with exactly same CPU load. An analytical mode...

The advantages and disadvantages of different methods of carrying objects on spine loading are still not fully understood. Previous studies have either examined the effects of carrying using physiological measures or examined isolated spine segments using biomechanical models. Additionally, most studies have been restricted to only a small number of carrying conditions. Very few studies have at...

Factor analysis of Gough's 300-item Adjective Check List identified 8 highest-loading items for 7 factors of self-perception. These were alphabetized and presented with 6-point scales to 713 females in teacher training. Factor analysis of the 66 self-rating items replicated the original structure, and simple scale sums showed satisfactory internal consistency and test-retest stability. Correlat...

Accepted for publication 27 January 1992 Case report A 34 year old woman with AIDS (CDC IV Cl diseaseextrapulmonary TB April 90) developed CMV retinitis in February 1991. She was treated with foscarnet (200 mg/kg/day after a 20 mg loading dose) given intravenously through a Hickman central line. She was receiving concurrent treatment with oral fluconazole and nebulised pentamidine for candida a...
