Automated Generation of Functional Test Cases and Use Case Diagram using SRS Analysis (2015)

Software testing mainly consists of three types of approaches i.e. specification based testing, model based testing and coding based testing. In specification based testing, major concern is to find the missing logic defects that cannot be find by using other types of testing. Specification testing mainly uncovers the specification problems in Software Requirement Specification (SRS). An approach for the generation of functional test cases from SRS has been presented in this paper. This approach will help to achieve the early detection of faults and will reduce the time, cost and effort of the developer. Proposed model will automatically generate the functional requirements from the SRS. Template for Use Case diagram will be automatically generated from the functional requirements. Activity diagram will be used to generate the Activity Dependent Table (ADT) and hence Activity Dependent Graph (ADG) will be generated from ADT. Functional test paths will be generated by applying the Depth First Search Algorithm (DFS) as a searching algorithm. Finally we will generate the test cases from the functional test paths.
Less is more: restructuring decisions to improve agent search (2011)

In many settings and for various reasons, people fail to make optimal decisions. These factors also influence the agents people design to act on their behalf in such virtual environments as eCommerce and distributed operating systems, so that the agents also act sub-optimally despite their greater computational capabilities. In some decision-making situations it is theoretically possible to supply the optimal strategy to people or their agents, but this optimal strategy may be non-intuitive, and providing a convincing explanation of optimality may be complex. This paper explores an alternative approach to improving the performance of a decision-maker in such settings: the data on choices is manipulated to guide searchers to a strategy that is closer to optimal. This approach was tested for sequential search, which is a classical sequential decision-making problem with broad areas of applicability (e.g., product search, partnership search). The paper introduces three heuristics for manipulating choices, including one for settings in which repeated interaction or access to a decision-maker's past history is available. The heuristics were evaluated on a large population of computer agents, each of which embodies a search strategy programmed by a different person. Extensive tests on thousands of search settings demonstrate the promise of the problem-restructuring approach: despite a minor degradation in performance for a small portion of the population, the overall and average individual performance improve substantially. The heuristic that adapts based on a decision-maker's history achieved the best results.
On the performance properties of the koch fractal and other bent wire monopoles (2003)

Koch fractal monopole antennas are known to exhibit lower resonant frequencies than Euclidean monopoles of the same height. It has been concluded that there exists a unique relationship between the antenna's fractal geometry and its electromagnetic behavior. Here, the performance properties of the Koch fractal monopole are examined and compared with the performance properties of other bent wire geometry monopoles having the same total wire length and overall height. It is demonstrated that monopoles with less complex shapes exhibit lower resonant frequencies because they are more effective at increasing the electrical volume of the antenna. When these antennas are made to be resonant at the same frequency, they exhibit virtually identical performance properties independent of differences in their geometric shape and total wire length. It is also demonstrated that the effective height of these monopoles converge to that of an electrically small Euclidean monopole near the small antenna limit and they exhibit virtually identical radiation resistance properties at low frequencies. Finally, it is shown that the fractal limit in lowering of resonant frequency is related to the limit in the increase in the antenna's effective volume.
Conformational changes upon binding of a receptor loop to lipid structures: possible role in signal transduction (1995)

The mas oncogene codes for a seven transmembrane helix protein. The amino acid sequence 253-266, from the third extracellular loop and beginning of helix 7, was synthesized either blocked or carrying an amino acid spin label at the N-terminus. Peptide binding to bilayers and micelles was monitored by ESR, fluorescence and circular dichroism. Binding induced tighter lipid packing, and caused an increase of peptide secondary structure. While binding to bilayers occurred only when peptide and phospholipid bore opposite charges, in micelles the interaction took place irrespective of charge. The results suggest that changes in lipid packing could modulate conformational changes in receptor loops related to the triggering of signal transduction.
Video transmission over a 40 GHz radio-fibre link (1992)

Transmission of a 40 GHz radio signal carrying wideband FM video modulation has been demonstrated over 12.5 km of optical fibre and 1.0m of radio path. This has been achieved without the use of a millimetre-wave source for the optical link, and without up-conversion or electrical amplification at the radio transmitter
Alterations in cardiac myosin isozymes associated with aging and chronic hypertension: their modulation with nifedipine (1993)

The profound decrease in V1 myosin isozyme proportion acquired with aging is not accentuated by superimposed chronic hypertension. The aging process, and not the left ventricular hypertrophy by itself, seems to be the principal determinant of the myosin isozyme shift. The myosin isozyme shift that occurs with aging is not fixed, and can be partially reversed or prevented by nifedipine.
Assays for <scp>CDK</scp> Activity and <scp>DNA</scp> Replication in the Cell Cycle (1998)

This unit describes two assays for different stages of the cell cycle in tissue culture cells. One is a biochemical measurement that assays the protein kinase activity of different cyclin-dependent kinase complexes that are present in late G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, or mitosis. The other assay uses immunofluorescence to detect DNA replication by the incorporation of nucleotide analogs into DNA. These assays are useful in analyzing the stage and degree of synchrony of the cell cycle and changes in the basic cell cycle machinery.
An HEVC-based Screen Content Coding Scheme (2015)

This document presents an efficient screen content coding scheme based on HEVC framework. The major techniques in the scheme includes hash-based large-scale block matching, dictionary mode, palette mode, adaptive color space coding, and several improvements to intra block copy mode. This scheme was submitted as our response to the joint Call for Proposals (CfP) for coding of screen content issued by ISO/IEC JCT1/SC29/WG11, i.e. MPEG and ITU-T Q6/16, i.e. VCEG. Compared with other coding schemes in response to the joint CfP, the proposed scheme shows clearly advantages – 1) It is the only one that shows less encoding time compared with the HEVC reference scheme; 2) it has the best lossless coding performance; 3) it is one of the two best performing schemes in terms of lossy coding. Compared with HM-13.0+RExt-6.0, which is the state-of-art screen content coding system when responding to the joint CfP, the proposed coding scheme for screen content achieves the average bit saving of 20.3% 26.4% for lossy coding. The average bit saving for losslss coding is 15.5% 23.7% for different coding structures.
Structure of the driver model for articulated vehicles (2002)

The structure of a driver directional control model is systematically analysed using single- and multi-loop approaches in conjunction with a yaw plane articulated vehicle model with limited roll degree of freedom. The results show that the driver's preview and prediction based upon the lateral position and orientation of the trailing unit yields oscillatory vehicle response and pose unacceptable steering demand on the driver. Eight different multi-loop structures of the driver-vehicle system are formulated to represent the driver's perception of different vehicle motion variables. The results further show that the lateral position and orientation of the lead unit are the fundamental feedback variables that form the external loop in the multi-loop driver models, while the lateral acceleration of the lead unit, articulation rate and the roll angle of the trailing unit form the efficient motion feedback cues affecting the driver's directional control behaviour. Such a model structure yields the best composite performance.
Management of Accidental Exposure to Ebola Virus in the Biosafety Level 4 Laboratory, Hamburg, Germany (2011)

A needlestick injury occurred during an animal experiment in the biosafety level 4 laboratory in Hamburg, Germany, in March 2009. The syringe contained Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) mixed with Freund's adjuvant. Neither an approved treatment nor a postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) exists for Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Following a risk-benefit assessment, it was recommended the exposed person take an experimental vaccine that had shown PEP efficacy in ZEBOV-infected nonhuman primates (NHPs) [12]. The vaccine, which had not been used previously in humans, was a live-attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (recVSV) expressing the glycoprotein of ZEBOV. A single dose of 5 × 10(7) plaque-forming units was injected 48 hours after the accident. The vaccinee developed fever 12 hours later and recVSV viremia was detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 2 days. Otherwise, the person remained healthy, and ZEBOV RNA, except for the glycoprotein gene expressed in the vaccine, was never detected in serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells during the 3-week observation period.

<title>High-repetition-rate lasers for advanced DUV exposure tools</title> (1994)

KrF lasers with up to 500 Hz repetition rate and a bandwidth of about 1 pm are in use for DUV-microlithography. Increasing resist sensitivity demands even higher repetition rate in order to allow precise dose control. In some cases step & scan exposure tools apply reflective optics instead of refractive ones. This diminishes the bandwidth requirements by about two orders of magnitude, but a high polarization degree of >= 98% is a basic requirement for the laser light source. Dose control and statistics define the second basic requirement for the laser. A dose accuracy of less than 2% demands small energy increments, i.e., for pulse energy in the 10 to 20 mJ range. Throughput requires 10 to 20 W of average laser power. Therefore, the repetition rate must be in the 1 kHz range.
CILIA: before and after (2017)

This is a history of cilia research before and after the discovery of intraflagellar transport (IFT) and the link between primary cilia ciliogenesis and polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Before IFT, ca. the beginning of the new millennium, although sensory and primary cilia were well described, research was largely focused on motile cilia, their structure, movement, and biogenesis. After IFT and the link to PKD, although work on motile cilia has continued to progress, research on primary cilia has exploded, leading to new insights into the role of cilia in cell signaling and development. Genomics, proteomics, and new imaging techniques have unified the field and pointed out the critical role of cilia as a restricted cell organellar compartment, functionally integrated with other cell organelles including the autophagosome and the nucleus.
Interpenetrating polymer networks based on EVA copolymer and PMMA (2007)

Polymer blends and semi-1-IPN’s based on EVA and PMMA were evaluated with regard to phase dispergation and glass transition behavior. The size of the dispersed PMMA phase in melt-mixing blends, linear blends and semi-1-IPN’s was examined. It can be concluded that the prepared blends and IPN’s are phase separated, but in semi-IPN’s the degree of dispergation is enhanced. The dependence of the glass transition temperature on the degree of crosslinking of EVA and the EVA content in the prepared blends and IPN’s is discussed.
Oxide growth on silicon (100) in the plasma phase of dry oxygen using an electron cyclotron resonance source (1996)

Silicon dioxide films were grown using an oxygen plasma generated by an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) source at several low temperatures. The plasma oxidation rate was investigated by varying the growth parameters. The oxide thickness parabolically increases with microwave power but decreases with increasing pressure or flow rate. A complementary model of the Deal–Grove oxidation theory is suggested for the plasma oxidation, and kinetic parameters are compared with the other plasma and thermal oxidation cases. The diffusion rate constant in O2 plasma oxidation at room temperature is enhanced up to the level of the diffusion rate in thermal oxidation and the reaction rate constant is much larger than the thermal oxidation case. This may imply that, due to oxygen atoms dissociated by the ECR plasma, plasma oxidation is related to the atomic diffusion through oxide layer and the atomic chemical reaction at the Si–SiO2 interface. The high quality of the ultrathin oxide film was characterized with a breakdown field of 14.8 MeV/cm and an interfacial state density of 1.2×1010 eV−1 cm−2.
Boundaries and structure of human cytomegalovirus oriLyt, a complex origin for lytic-phase DNA replication (1992)

We have localized a cis-acting sequence that promotes initiation of lytic-phase DNA replication (oriLyt) within the HindIII D fragment of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) AD169 genome and investigated its sequence requirements by testing the ability of plasmid constructs to mediate DNA replication in a transient transfection-plus-infection assay. Replication of plasmids containing HCMV oriLyt required at least the virus-specified DNA polymerase activity supplied by HCMV infection of transfected cells and was autonomous in that it did not result from recombination with the virus genome. Progeny molecules in the transient assay were high-molecular-weight tandem oligomers, which is consistent with predictions of a rolling-circle model. Experiments testing subclones of HindIII-D defined a core 2.4-kbp region containing elements required for oriLyt function that extended rightward from around 1.0 kbp upstream of UL57 near the middle of the long unique component of the virus genome. Sequences flanking this core also were needed for full activity. The defined region contains at least four clustered sets of repeated sequence elements identical to or candidate counterparts of elements present in the corresponding cytomegalovirus Colburn lytic-phase replication origin. These elements are novel in that they apparently do not correspond to previously characterized motifs. Also present are multiple copies of elements similar to known binding sites for the transcription factors ATF/CREB, MLTF/USF, and Sp1. Preliminary deletion analysis suggests that multiple components within the boundaries of oriLyt cooperate to enable initiation of HCMV lytic-phase DNA synthesis.
Full-Scale Atmospheric Tests of Sequential Combustion (2010)

Sequential combustion system of GT24 and GT26 engines from Alstom consists of a primary combustor, followed by a turbine and a re-heat combustor. This technology is capable of achieving the most rigorous emission targets at base-load operation, with an additional benefit of delivering very low NOx and CO emissions down to extremely low part load. This paper describes further development of the reheat technology with the help of multiple tools, with special consideration given to atmospheric tests. Prior to more demanding high-pressure combustion tests, full-scale atmospheric tests are utilized in order to down-select the most promising variants in a relatively cost-effective setup. Atmospheric tests are used additionally to gain insight into fundamental physics of reheat combustion, thanks to optical access and applicability of complicated measurement methods. A number of parameters, including NOx, CO, UHC emissions, temperature distribution, flashback margin, pressure drop and — to some extend — combustion dynamics can be assessed with the help of atmospheric tests. In order to increase the applicability of atmospheric test results to high-pressure conditions, the ignition and reaction characteristics of high-pressure flames must be reproduced at atmospheric conditions. This can be done through adjustment of operational parameters such as incoming temperature, as well as using fuel blends with modified ignition properties. The scaling methods as well as recent analyses on improvement areas for this unique combustion technology are discussed.
Liquid phase silylation for the DESIRE process (1992)

Liquid phase silylation is presented in this paper as a technique with improved silylation and dry development selectivity and hence improved process windows. Using this technique, the requirements imposed on silylation and dry development equipment are relaxed. The diffusion enhanced silylated resist process (DESIRE) has been presented as an attractive solution to overcome the inherent limitations of conventional wet develop lithography, such as the control of critical dimensions over highly reflective topography. Traditionally, the silylation process has been carried out using hexamethyl disilazane (HMDS), although lately, alternative gaseous agents such as tetramethyl disilazane (TMDS) have begun to exhibit certain advantages. The liquid phase silylation process simplifies the process and equipment requirements, and results in improved silylation selectivity. Liquid silylation has been found to be useful both for i-line and DUV exposures. The influences of resist and silylation solution composition have been investigated. Characterization of the silylation reaction and mechanism have been performed using thickness measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). Surface imaging based on liquid phase silylation has also been evaluated using phase shifting masks. The influence of partial coherence on the resolution and process latitudes using both conventional transmission masks and phase shifting masks have additionally been studied.
HCTI at SemEval-2017 Task 1: Use convolutional neural network to evaluate Semantic Textual Similarity (2017)

This paper describes our convolutional neural network (CNN) system for the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) task. We calculated semantic similarity score between two sentences by comparing their semantic vectors. We generated a semantic vector by max pooling over every dimension of all word vectors in a sentence. There are two key design tricks used by our system. One is that we trained a CNN to transfer GloVe word vectors to a more proper form for the STS task before pooling. Another is that we trained a fully-connected neural network (FCNN) to transfer the difference of two semantic vectors to the probability distribution over similarity scores. All hyperparameters were empirically tuned. In spite of the simplicity of our neural network system, we achieved a good accuracy and ranked 3rd on primary track of SemEval 2017.
Antireflection coating for laser diodes (1995)

A novel design for an antireflection (AR) coating layer on facets of laser diodes (LDs) is proposed and the validity of the design is confirmed experimentally. The proposed novel AR coating, consisting of multilayers, is designable such that the characteristic matrix is equivalent to that of the ideal quarter wavelength single layer AR coating. Applying this idea to laser diodes with a lasing wavelength of 1.3 µm and equivalent refractive index of 3.2, a very low reflectivity of 0.08 % has been realised by the stratified three layers which consist of alumina (Al2O3, 902 Å)/amorphous silicon (a-Si, 83 Å)/ Al2O3 (902 Å), deposited by electron beam evaporation.
A Bacillus subtilis malate dehydrogenase gene (1996)

A Bacillus subtilis gene for malate dehydrogenase (citH) was found downstream of genes for citrate synthase and isocitrate dehydrogenase. Disruption of citH caused partial auxotrophy for aspartate and a requirement for aspartate during sporulation. In the absence of aspartate, citH mutant cells were blocked at a late stage of spore formation.
Comparison of clofibrate and ethyl-5-(p-chlorophenoxy)-3-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoate induced changes in serum lipoprotein cholesterol and hepatic peroxisome proliferation in the normal rat. (1983)

Clofibrate and ethyl-5(p-chlorophenoxy)-3-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoate (HMP), at 0.1 and 0.25% in the diet, were evaluated in normal rats. Effects on serum lipoprotein cholesterol, liver cholesterol and peroxisome proliferation changes were compared. Both doses of HMP significantly lowered high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and total cholesterol (mean 22% and 18%). The distribution of cholesterol in the lipoproteins was altered (p less than 0.05) and liver weights were increased 18% by the 0.25 dose of HMP. Clofibrate treatment increased (p less than 0.01) the combination of very low and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL + LDL-C) by 42% at the 0.1% dose and lowered HDL-C by 28% at the 0.25% dose; total-C was not changed from control values. Both levels of clofibrate shifted the distribution of lipoprotein cholesterol, increased liver weights (mean 69%) and reduced liver cholesterol (mean 33%). Image analysis of peroxisome changes showed that both doses of HMP and clofibrate increased peroxisome numbers (mean 71% vs 218%), with activity of HMP significantly lower than clofibrate. Measurement of carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT) activity (nmCoASH released/mg protein/minute) showed no significant increases in liver samples from HMP-treated rats, while clofibrate induced large increases in CAT activity, which were significant compared to control and HMP values. While having chemical structural similarity to clofibrate, HMP appears to cause comparable hypocholesterolemic activity without comparable levels of hepatomegaly and peroxisome proliferation.
