Test compaction is an effective technique for reducing test data volume and test application time. In this paper, we present a new static test compaction algorithm based on test vector decomposition and clustering. Test vectors are decomposed and clustered in an increasing order of faults detection count. This clustering order gives more degree of freedom and results in better compaction. Exper...

the use of heavy machinery in forestry operations such as logging has increased worldwide during the last decades. however, these machines may seriously influence the soil ecosystem as they induce rutting, disturbing the upper soil layers, and soil compaction. severe compaction of soil adversely affects the growth of plants.this study was done by using a penetration resistance experiment in a g...

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...

During eukaryotic evolution, genome size has increased disproportionately to nuclear volume, necessitating greater degrees of chromatin compaction in higher eukaryotes, which have evolved several mechanisms for genome compaction. However, it is unknown whether histones themselves have evolved to regulate chromatin compaction. Analysis of histone sequences from 160 eukaryotes revealed that the H...

A software for soil compaction analysis (SCAN) has been developed for evaluating the compaction states using the data from the GPS as well as a compactometer attached on the roller. The SCAN is distinguished from other previous software for intelligent compaction (IC) in that it can use the results from various types of GPS positioning methods, and it also has an optimal structure for remotely ...

This paper describes finite element analysis of compaction for dry textiles during preform manufacture. The models are generated using procedures encompassed in our TexGen textile modeling schema. Meshing and material property allocations are performed automatically, including definition of material orientations for each of the elements. Tow elements are modeled using a transverse isotropic mod...

Two fast algorithms for static test sequence compaction are proposed for sequential circuits. The algorithms are based on the observation that test sequences traverse through a small set of states, and some states are frequently re-visited throughout the application of a test set. Subse-quences that start and end on the same states may be removed if necessary and suucient conditions are met for...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of lateral compaction and tapered single cone gutta-percha techniques in root canals prepared with stainless steel and rotary nickel titanium root canal instruments by fluid filtration method. STUDY DESIGN The root canals were prepared with stainless steel (SS) and nickel titanium (NiTi) instruments. The canals prepared with...
