This paper presents a simulation test bed aimed at evaluation of relay operation under faults leading to cascading events. The test bed uses physical relays and waveforms replayed from the Alternative Transients Program (ATP) simulations. A system level tool which identifies probable cascade scenarios for the given load condition and topology is presented. These scenarios are analyzed for zone-...

This paper is one of three papers describing the joint Nordic test day model for yield traits. The focus of this paper is on the evaluation models for Red Breeds, Holstein, and Jersey. Environmental effects and adjustment of heterogeneous variance are illustrated.

We address the challenge of cross-lingual POS tagger evaluation in absence of manually annotated test data. We put forth and evaluate two dictionary-based metrics. On the tasks of accuracy prediction and system ranking, we reveal that these metrics are reliable enough to approximate test set-based evaluation, and at the same time lean enough to support assessment for truly low-resource languages.

After a preliminary study of 557 sera used as a procedural training exercise, the Reagin screen test (RST) for the macroscopic detection of reagin (as an aid to detecting syphilis) was qualitatively compared to the rapid plasma Reagin (RPR) (circle) card test and Veneral Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) slide test on 435 random portions of sera using fluorescent treponemal antibody adsorption...

LFT&E 277 joInt technIcal coordInatIng grouP For munItIons eFFectIveness (jtcg/me) DOT&E executed oversight of survivability and lethality test and evaluation for 118 acquisition programs in FY11. Of those 118 programs, 19 programs operated under the waiver provision of U.S. Code, Title 10, Section 2366, by executing an approved alternate LFT&E strategy in lieu of full-up system-level testing. ...

The Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) 2002 is an independently administered technology evaluation of mature face recognition systems. FRVT 2002 provides performance measures for assessing the capability of face recognition systems to meet requirements for large-scale, real-world applications. Ten commercial firms participated in FRVT 2002. FRVT 2002 computed performance statistics on an extre...

BACKGROUND Laboratory diagnosis of syphilis is usually accomplished by serology. There are currently a large number of different commercial treponemal tests available that vary in format, sensitivity and specificity. AIM To evaluate the ID-PaGIA Syphilis Antibody Test as an alternative to other specific treponemal tests for primary screening or confirmation of diagnosis. METHODS Serum sampl...

Rapid diagnostic tests are used for the determination of binary qualitative results not only uniquely in nonhospital-based but also in hospital-based tests. Principally, in developing countries, rapid diagnostic tests are the primary option since tests to be used in medical laboratories are discarded due to the higher cost. The test’s performance is evaluated to assure that the chance of result...
