We introduce a new Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) methodology for compact generation of test sets, to detect non-robustly testable path delay faults in combinational and fully enhanced scanned circuits. The proposed framework is non-enumerative with respect to the faults examined, and relies on the appropriate formulation and generation of functions that are used to derive the desired...

Dynamic test sequence compaction is an effective means of reducing test application time and often results in higher fault coverages and reduced test generation time as well. A new algorithm for dynamic test sequence compaction is presented that uses genetic techniques to evolve test sequences. Test sequences provided by a test generator and previously evolved sequences already included in the ...

Mechanistic details of DNA compaction is essential blue print for gene regulation in living organisms.Many in vitro studies have been implemented using several compaction agents. However, these compacting agents may have some kinds of cytotoxic effects to the cells. To minimize this aspect, several research works had been performed, but people have never focused green solvent, i.e. room tempera...

Although the nuclear envelope is known primarily for its role as a boundary between the nucleus and cytoplasm in eukaryotes, it plays a vital and dynamic role in many cellular processes. Studies of nuclear structure have revealed tissue-specific changes in nuclear envelope architecture, suggesting that its three-dimensional structure contributes to its functionality. Despite the importance of t...

During cell division chromosomes are compacted in length by more than a hundred-fold. A wide range of experiments demonstrated that in their compacted state, mammalian chromosomes form arrays of closely stacked consecutive ~100Kb loops. The mechanism underlying the active process of chromosome compaction into a stack of loops is unknown. Here we test the hypothesis that chromosomes are compacte...

Isolated ventricular non-compaction of myocardium is an unclassified cardiomyopathy with an underlying mechanism of a morphogenetic abnormality involving an arrest of compaction of the loose myocardial meshwork during fetal ontogenesis. The diagnosis of this unusual condition can be readily mistaken for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and it should be considered in evaluation of patients with...

In this paper we present experimental results concerning the compaction of a granular assembly of spheres under periodic shear deformation. The dynamic of the system is slow and continuous when the amplitude of the shear is constant, but exhibits rapid evolution of the volume fraction when a sudden change in shear amplitude is imposed. This rapid response is shown to be to be uncorrelated with ...
