Given a set of memory array faults the problem of computing an optimal march test that detects all speci-ed memory array faults is addressed. In this paper, we propose a novel approach in which every memory array fault is modeled by a set of primitive memory faults. A primitive march test is deened for each primitive memory fault. We show that march tests that detect the speci-ed memory array f...

For the functional validation of hardware designs, simulation with coverage analysis is still the primary means at RTL description of design. Here coverage analysis shows the way towards the optimal use of resource, validation or verification completeness and untested areas of HDL design. The complete coverage analysis of Memory Built in Self-Test (MBIST) controller using several code and funct...

Background—Sudden death in sport is rare, but when it occurs the eVects are devastating. There have not been any reports to date describing the frequency and causes of sudden death in sport in the Republic of Ireland. Aim—To describe the incidence, possible causes, associated factors, and pathological findings in people who died while exercising in the Republic of Ireland in the 10 year period ...

The 12 million people working in American agriculture are still without protection against the personal causes of insecurity. No program to meet the risks of illness, accident, disability, old age, and premature death has yet been provided for them. When the principal breadwinner of a farm family, be he an operator or a paid worker, is stricken by long illness, old age, or death, the family has...

Organizations must strike a balance between stability and innovation –i.e., between exploitation of their current business model and processes and exploration and adoption of alternative solutions (March, 1991). Accordingly, understanding the processes by which organizations adjust their propensity to innovate, as well as the conditions most likely to foster innovation in a firm, is an importan...

Because the memory cores can be used to save the instructions/data, the memory cores are frequently used within the system-on-a-chips (SOCs). The quality of the SOCs is mainly determined by the memory cores. However, due to the complicated fabrication process, the fault models of the memories are more complicated than the fault models of the logical cores. So far, more than 40 march algorithms ...

in the software development process, testing is one of the most human intensive steps. many researchers try to automate test case generation to reduce the manual labor of this step. negative selection is a famous algorithm in the field of artificial immune system (ais) and many different applications has been developed using its idea. in this paper we have designed a new algorithm based on nega...
