A series of five experiments were performed to test a general theoretical model which conceptualizes the sensory prominence of various body sectors as providing persistent peripheral signals which can modify central perceptual and fantasy processes. Two experiments involved stimulation of right versus left and front versus back body sites by means of a vibrator and determining the effects upon ...

This paper presents an integrated approach to verification and testing automation of UML projects. It consists of automatic model creation from UML specifications in the formal language of basic protocols, model’s verification by the means of VRS technology and automatic tests generation in TTCN language using TAT. The actuality of this task arises from necessity of software functionality’s cor...
