The authors conducted 4 experiments to test the decision-bound, prototype, and distribution theories for the categorization of sounds. They used as stimuli sounds varying in either resonance frequency or duration. They created different experimental conditions by varying the variance and overlap of 2 stimulus distributions used in a training phase and varying the size of the stimulus continuum ...

PURPOSE This study compared the temporal processing performance of children with phonological disorders submitted to formal and informal auditory training. METHODS Fifteen subjects with phonological disorder (pure tone thresholds ≤20 dBHL from 0.50 to 4 kHz, and age between 7 years and 10 years and 11 months) were evaluated, divided into three groups: CONTROL GROUP five subjects (mean age 9...

Estimating and minimizing the maximum power dissipation during testing is an important task in VLSI circuit realization since the power value affects the reliability of the circuits. Therefore during testing a methodology should be adopted to minimize power consumption. Test patterns generated with –D 1 option of ATALANTA contains don’t care bits (x bits). By suitable filling of don’t cares can...

In the current research, neuro-fuzzy model and regression model was developed to predict Material Removal Rate in Electrical Discharge Machining process for AISI D2 tool steel with copper electrode. Extensive experiments were conducted with various levels of discharge current, pulse duration and duty cycle. The experimental data are split into two sets, one for training and the other for valida...

abstract sleep disturbances have been shown to be associated with diabetes control, but the relation between planned wakings or napping with glycemic indices has not been evaluated yet. this study evaluated the relation between sleep quality, duration, and pattern, including daytime napping of people with diabetes and their glycemic control. a cross-sectional correlation research design was use...

In this paper we present a novel approach for patternconstrained test case generation. The generation of test cases with known characteristics is usually a non-trivial task. In contrast, the proposed method allows for a transparent and intuitive modeling of the relations contained in the test data. For the presented approach, we utilize a general-purpose data generator: It relies on easy to und...
