Microprocessor testing is becoming a challenging task, due to the increasing complexity of modern architectures. Nowadays, most architectures are tackled with a combination of scan chains and Software-Based Self-Test (SBST) methodologies. Among SBST techniques, evolutionary feedback-based ones prove effective in microprocessor testing: their main disadvantage, however, is the considerable time ...

abstract p u rpose: this study aimed to correlation between the grading stenosis and the start back screening tool (sbst) in patients diagnosed with lumbar central canal stenosis (lccs). methods: in a prospective clinical study, a total of 269 patients with lccs were asked to respond to the questionnaire at their first visits. grading of lccs on mri was determined and also the severities of the...

Search-based software testing (SBST) has been shown to be an effective technique generate test cases automatically. Its effectiveness strongly depends on the guidance of fitness function. Unfortunately, a common issue in SBST is so-called flag problem , where landscape presents plateau that provides no search. In this article, we provide series novel testability transformations aimed at providi...

3 Abstract— There are Software Test problems that may not be solved with traditional software engineering techniques.Nevertheless, such problems may be modeled mathematically in order to be solved with mathematical optimization, specially with the use of metaheuristics. In this context, a new research field called Search based Software Engineering (SBSE), which deals with solving software engin...

OBJECTIVE To describe the associations among moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), fitness, sedentary behavior (SB), and insulin sensitivity (IS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data were drawn from the baseline assessment of the QUALITY cohort, which included 630 white youth (aged 8-10 years at recruitment), with at least one obese biological parent. IS was measured by two fasting indi...

Background: Psychosocial factors are not routinely identified in physical therapy assessments, although they can influence the prognosis of patients with low back pain. The "STarT Back Screening Tool" (SBST) questionnaire aids in screening such patients for poor prognosis in the primary care setting and classifies them as high, medium, or low risk based on physical and psychosocial factors. Obj...

The present study investigated concordance between representations of attachment to mother and attachment to father, and convergence between two narrative-based methods addressing these representations in middle childhood: the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task (MCAST) and the Secure Base Script Test (SBST). One hundred and twenty 6-year-old children were assessed by separate administration...

Reliable operation of networks consisting of many embedded wireless nodes operating under strict cost and energy constraint is a major requirement for their widespread acceptance. Towards this goal, we consider self-testing of complete wireless nodes in the field through a low-energy software-based self-test (SBST) method. The energy consumption of SBST is optimized both for individual componen...

PURPOSE To evaluate the adhesion to CAD/CAM feldspathic blocks by failure analysis and shear bond strength test (SBSt) of different restorative systems and different surface treatments, for purpose of moderate chipping repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS A self-adhering flowable composite (Vertise Flow, Kerr) containing bi-functional phosphate monomers and a conventional flowable resin composite (P...
