    本論文提出了一個利用列、行,與線性回授移位暫存器的特性來設計未知回應遮蔽的架構,可以有效地壓縮含有很高比例未知回應的測試結果。有別於傳統遮蔽未知回應的技術在壓縮結果進入壓縮器之前就遮蔽未知回應,本論文提出了在壓縮器之後遮蔽未知回應的架構。此提出的架構能非常容易地整合至現有壓縮器,而且進一步提高了整體的壓縮倍率。利用論文中提出的三個有效的機制(整列遮蔽,整行遮蔽,以及線性回授移位暫存器遮蔽機制),此遮蔽未知回應的架構可以使用非常小的線性回授移位暫存器來達到遮蔽全部未知回應的效果。根據實際電路的實驗數據顯示,論文中提出的架構可以提供高於一萬七千倍的輸出壓縮倍率,同時處理高達百分之四十一的未知回應。本論文更進一步提出了分段線性回授移位暫存器的未知回應遮蔽架構,以處理更大的電路以及更多比例的未知回應。由於此架構有非常高的輸出結果壓縮倍率,它非常適合使用於大量平行的測試環境,以大幅降低測試成本。This thesis presents a Row-LFSR-Column (RLC) masking technique that is capable of handling many unknowns in the test responses. Unlike traditional X-masking techniques, which perform unknown masking before the test compactor, the proposed technique masks unknowns after the test compactor. This characteristic makes RLC mask very easy to be applied to existing test response compaction tool and further improves the test response compaction ratio. With three novel mechanism (direct row, direct column, and LFSR column masking), RLC masks all unknowns in the test response using a very short LFSR. Experiment on a real design shows that, RLC mask provides more than 17K times test response compaction for up to 41.8% unknowns. Furthermore, a segmented RLC architecture is presented in order to deal with large industrial designs. By providing a very high test response compaction ratio, the proposed technique enables massive multisite testing to drive down the test cost significantly.摘要 ivbstract vable of Contents viist of Figures viiiist of Tables xhapter 1 1ntroduction 1.1 Motivation 1.2 Proposed Architecture 4.3 Contributions 5.4 Organization 7hapter 2 8ackground 8.1 Test Response Compaction 8.1.1 Spatial Compaction 8.1.2 Temporal Compaction 9.1.3 Mixed Spatial and Temporal Compaction 10.2 Unknowns in Test Response Compaction 12.3 Past Research in Test Response Compaction with Unknowns 14.3.1 X-Blocking 14.3.2 X-Tolerant 15.3.3 X-Masking 21.4 Summary and Comparisons 24hapter 3 26roposed Technique 26.1 Hardware Architecture 26.2 Three Masking Mechanism 27.3 ATPG Flow 31.4 RLC Encoding Algorithm 32.5 LFSR Seed Computation 35.6 RLC Encoding Example 40hapter 4 43xperimental Results 43.1 Results of ISCAS89 and ITC99 43.2 Results of Industrial Circuits 49.3 Comparison with Other Techniques 52hapter 5 54egmented RLC 54.1 Architecture 54.2 Experimental Results 57hapter 6 60ummary 60eference 61ppendix 6

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
