Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) is an extremely rare genetic condition exhibiting some dermatological, craniofacial, ophthalmological, and central nervous system abnormalities. It has an autosomal, recessive inheritance and its signs begin at childhood. Essential dermatological alteration is poikilodermatosis. A large head with an frontal bossing and broad low nasal bridge has been described in...

In this paper we explore test generation for Recursive Tiles Systems (RTS) in the framework of the classical ioco testing theory. The RTS model allows the description of reactive systems with recursion, and is very similar to other models like Pushdown Automata, Hyperedge Replacement Grammars or Recursive State Machines. We first present an off-line test generation algorithm for Weighted RTS, a...

Sensitivity of the returns to scale (RTS) classifications in data envelopment analysis is studied by means of linear programming problems. The stability region for an observation preserving its current RTS classification (constant, increasing or decreasing returns to scale) can be easily investigated by the optimal values to a set of particular DEA-type formulations. Necessary and sufficient co...

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are extensively synthesized by plants, are commonly present in herbs and foodstuffs, and exhibit hepatotoxicity requiring metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 3A to form the electrophilic metabolites-pyrrolic esters. PAs also cause embryo toxicity, but the metabolic profiles of PAs in fetus and placenta have been far from clear. In this study, we determined the ...

An alternating-bias random telegraph signal (RTS) characterization technique is presented, which shortens measurement time by 10x and also produces more accurate statistical distributions of RTS amplitudes. Measurements of RTS amplitudes in 45nm SRAM transistor Ids and cell write margin are reported and used to demonstrate a complex dependence of write margin on RTS in multiple transistors. Fai...

Cognitive psychologists commonly strive to infer processes/constructs from chronometric data. In this regard, diffusion modeling of response times (RTs) from correct and erroneous responses using the Wiener distribution has become popular because it provides a set of interpretable parameters. An important precondition to estimate these parameters, however, is a sufficient number of RTs from err...

To clarify whether there is left-right difference in arousal induced by position changes, vocal reaction times (RTs) were measured at three different positions of the arms for 10 normal subjects. RTs at the facilitating position of either arm were faster than RTs at the neutral position, and RTs at the facilitating position of the left arm were faster than those of the right. The results indica...

This paper presents a constraint optimization approach to walling in real-time strategy (RTS) games. Walling is a specific type of spatial reasoning, typically employed by human expert players and not currently fully exploited in RTS game AI, consisting on finding configurations of buildings to completely or partially block paths. Our approach is based on local search, and is specifically desig...

The ambipolar random telegraph signal (RTS) (i.e., RTS in both hole conduction at negative gate biases and electron conduction at positive gate biases) is observed in an ambipolar carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNT-FET). Then, the ambipolar RTS is used to extract the small band gap of the SWNT. The determination of the small band gap CNT using RTS demonstrates a potentially high accur...
