In a previous paper [1], we studied transient radiation from scalar collimated volume source distributions subjected to impulsive excitation. In this paper, we extend our analysis and results to the case of nonimpulsive excitation, paying special attention to the parameterization of the radiation pattern of three-dimensional (3-D) ellipsoid source distributions driven by square pulses of finite...

We had a unique opportunity to investigate the auditory processing abilities of a 10 year-old female after a left functional hemispherectomy. We administered a comprehensive battery of behavioral and electrophysiological tests, assessing both afferent and efferent auditory pathways. Normal peripheral hearing was established. A normal masking level difference threshold and gap detection threshol...

This pattern addresses the learning process that you have to master as a student. On the first level, you acquire and reproduce knowledge. On the second level, you apply knowledge to solve problems. On the third level, you produce new knowledge. Most teachers are happy if their students can reproduce the knowledge. Industry is happy if problems can be solved, and academia lives from the newly g...

As the complexity of VLSI circuits is increasing at the rate predicted by Moore's law and the switching frequencies are approaching a gigahertz, testing cost is becoming an important factor in the overall IC manufacturing cost. Testing cost is incurred by test pattern generation and test application processes. In this dissertation, we address both of these factors contributing to the testing co...

introduction: studying long-term trend changes of meteorological parameters is one of the routine methods in atmospheric studies, especially in the climate change subject. among the meteorological parameters, temperature is always considered as one of the most atmospheric elements and studying it in order to gain a better understanding of the climate change phenomenon, has been effective. in ad...

A new on-chip embedding mechanism to improve fault coverage in scan-based delay test is proposed. A major problem of scan-based delay test techniques is that they may not provide good fault coverage as many valid test pattern pairs cannot be launched. In the proposed method, the initialization vector is shifted into the scan chain, and then the activation vector is generated by selectively inve...

Compact disc versions of the frequency (pitch) and duration pattern tests are reported. Results are similar to previous reports on these tests using taped materials. Mean performance of normal-hearing young adults for both pattern perception tests was approximately 90 percent. There was no effect of the two presentation levels used in this study. The compact disc version of these tests provides...
