Defect aware test patterns
A method to generate test patterns referred to as defect aware test patterns is proposed. Defect aware test patterns increase the ability to detect unmodeled defects. The proposed method can be used with any test generation procedure to improve the effectiveness of the tests in detecting unmodeled defects. Experimental results on several industrial designs show the effectiveness of defect aware tests. We also propose a measure to estimate the effectiveness of given test sets in detecting unmodeled defects.

A test pattern ordering algorithm for diagnosis with truncated fail data
In this paper, we propose a test pattern ordering algorithm for fault diagnosis. Test pattern ordering is effective in situations where the fail log is truncated and contains a limited number of fail data. In such cases, higher diagnostic resolution can be achieved with the test set appropriately ordered. Test pattern ordering is independent of the diagnosis algorithm used. The higher resolution achieved by test pattern ordering is obtained at no additional cost once the test patterns have been appropriately ordered. Experimental results on two industrial designs are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method

N-distinguishing Tests for Enhanced Defect Diagnosis
Diagnostic ATPG has traditionally been used to generate test patterns that distinguish pairs of modeled faults. In this work, we investigate the use of n-distinguishing test sets, which distinguish pairs of single stuck-at faults n times, to enhance the probability of distinguishing unmodeled defects. The basis for the use of n-distinguishing test sets to enhance defect diagnosis is similar to that for using n-detection test sets to improve the detection of unmodeled defects. We use a heuristic to target a subset of fault pairs for n-distinguishing in order to improve the efficacy of the patterns generated for aiding diagnosis. Experimental results on the larger ISCAS benchmark circuits are presented to demonstrate the improvements in defect diagnostic resolution due to the use of n-distinguishing test sets. We use randomly selected resistive bridges to represent unmodeled defects. The experimental results also show that the coverage of unmodeled defects by n-distinguishing test sets is similar to that by n-detection test sets even though the number of n-distinguishing tests is typically smaller. This suggests the possibility of using n-distinguishing test sets in place of n-detection test sets in manufacturing test.

Image retrieval based on Sugeno fuzzy integral
In this paper, we propose a fuzzy similarity measure based on the Sugeno fuzzy integral and apply it to the content-based image retrieval. Fuzzy measure is used to formulate the subjective feedback information. Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the efficiency and reliability of image retrieval system. Our method of formulating the subjective feedback information performs better than the weighted average operator (WAO) and a Choquet-integral-based similarity measure.

A Fast Document Classification Algorithm Based on Improved KNN
A novel KNN classification algorithm combining model and evidence theory is proposed in this paper. The new method not only overcomes the main shortage of lazy learning in traditional KNN, but also takes the distances between samples to be recognized and samples in k-neighbors into account. At the same time the method resolves the unrecognizable cases of unknown samples. Applying the classification algorithm into the document recognition, experimental results show its satisfied recognition rate and fast categorization speed

Comparative genomics and function analysis on BI1 family
Bax inhibitor-1 (BI1) family contains six known genes in human. Some members of BI1 family have been proved to play important roles in cell death. Here we discuss the similarities and differences among the members of BI1 family by comparative genomics and proteomics, and report here the discovery of a novel member, tmbim1b, in Bos taurus. BI1 family is evolutionarily conserved as integral membrane proteins containing multiple membrane-spanning segments and predominantly localized to intracellular membranes, similar to Bcl-2 family proteins. They share multiple motifs and transcriptional factors within the promoter and the coding regions. They may represent regulators of cell death pathways, which are concluded from structure conservation of BI1 family.

Design Wizards and Visual Programming Environments for GenVoca Generators
Domain-specific generators will increasingly rely on graphical languages for declarative specifications of target applications. Such languages will provide front-ends to generators and related tools to produce customized code on demand. Critical to the success of this approach will be domain-specific design wizards, tools that guide users in their selection of components for constructing particular applications. The authors present the P3 ContainerStore graphical language, its generator, and design wizard.
