An efficient logic fault diagnosis framework based on effect-cause approach
(2009-05-15)
Fault diagnosis plays an important role in improving the circuit design process and the
manufacturing yield. With the increasing number of gates in modern circuits, determining
the source of failure in a defective circuit ...

Supply chain design: a conceptual model and tactical simulations
(2009-05-15)
In current research literature, supply chain management (SCM) is a hot topic
breaching the boundaries of many academic disciplines. SCM-related work can be
found in the relevant literature for many disciplines. Supply chain ...
Divergence of opinions, short sales, and asset prices
(2009-06-02)
Prior research has established that stocks with high dispersion of earnings
forecasts or short interest are associated with low subsequent returns. Assuming
dispersion of forecasts is a proxy for divergence of opinions and ...

Bayesian classification and survival analysis with curve predictors
(2009-05-15)
We propose classification models for binary and multicategory data where the
predictor is a random function. The functional predictor could be irregularly and
sparsely sampled or characterized by high dimension and sharp ...
Heat transfer in leading and trailing edge cooling channels of the gas turbine blade under high rotation numbers
(2009-05-15)
The gas turbine blade/vane internal cooling is achieved by circulating the
compressed air through the cooling passages inside the turbine blade. Leading edge and
trailing edge of the turbine blade are two critical regions ...
Introgression of reniform nematode resistance and other germplasm from G. longicalyx and G. armourianum into G. hirsutum
(2009-05-15)
The Gossypium genus includes 45 diploid and 5 tetraploid cotton species of which only
2 diploids and 2 tetraploids are cultivated in different parts of the tropics and sub-tropics,
leaving the remaining diploid and tetraploid ...
Quantitative trait loci(qtl) analysis of yield components and heat tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(2009-05-15)
This study was conducted to identify and map QTLs for yield components and
heat tolerance of wheat in response to two kinds of heat treatment (short term-and long
term-heat treatment) during seed formation in a set of 62 ...
