We give a unateness tester for functions of the form f : [n] → R, where n, d ∈ N and R ⊆ R with query complexity O( log(max(d,n)) ). Previously known unateness testers work only for Boolean functions over the domain {0, 1}. We show that every unateness tester for realvalued functions over hypergrid has query complexity Ω(min{d, |R|}). Consequently, our tester is nearly optimal for real-valued f...

Five early growth characters were examined in six races of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh, their reciprocal F(1) hybrids (1974) and F(1) by tester hybrids, using a seventh race as a paternal tester. Three of the five characters were also examined at two nutrient levels in reciprocal F(1) hybrids (1972) of all seven races. Analyses of F(1) and F(1) by tester hybrids revealed significant materna...

A high-resolution micro-torsion tester is developed based on electromagnetism, and the shear modulus of metallic glass fiber (Pd40Cu30Ni10P20) is measured using this tester. The torque is measured by a coil-magnet component and the rotation angle is measured by an inductive angular transducer. The calibration results show that the torque capacity of this tester is 1.1 × 10−3 N m with resoluti...

INTRODUCTION: Anatomical marker placement reliability is an important consideration in 3D gait analysis given its influence on defining joint centers, anatomical coordinate systems (ACSs), and ultimately the resulting joint kinematic outputs. It has been postulated that gait kinematic reliability could be improved using a functional (FUN) method compared to a manual marker placement approach (M...

A novel approach for using an embedded processor to aid in deterministic testing of the other components of a system-on-a-chip (SOC) is presented. The tester loads a program along with compressed test data into the processor’s on-chip memory. The processor executes the program which decompresses the test data and applies it to scan chains in the other components of the SOC to test them. The pro...

a study was conducted on genetics of some important agronomic traits (number of productive tillers per hill, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), number of spikelets per panicle and 100-grain weight) in rice during 2012-13. two lines were crossed with five testers in line × tester fashion to produce 10 f1 hybrids. analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes and cros...

Introduction While the vast majority of clinical MRI sequences utilize Cartesian sampling strategies, in a growing number of applications nonCartesian schemes are being employed for a variety of technical reasons. For example, our own motivation is diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) wherein we use spiral trajectories [1], in part because they facilitate efficient self-navigation schemes for artifac...

tm is a program designed to test systems by simulating over-exaggerated use. The program can be used to check the accuracy of shared resources of a system or determine if a system will fail under intensive use. The simulation of users is done by threads running scripts. The configuration of tm and a description of the scripting language is included. A real test using tm is described and the res...

The sheer complexity of Web applications and inadequate approaches to analyze, design or update such projects generate incorrect environments, which are the source of potential risks. Poor applications reflect low availability, maintenance difficult and questionable efficiency in the services they provide. At present the quality assurances schemes still performed manually. A group of evaluators...

This study tested the generalizability of the consistency effect to real-world settings. The consistency effect refers to the finding that items inconsistent with expectations are better recalled and recognized than items consistent with expectations. In two experiments, subjects walked into a graduate student's office or a preschool classroom. Half of the items in each setting were consistent ...
