Asynchronous circuits have been used to implement Networks-on-Chip (NoCs), resulting in asynchronous NoCs where the links are usually implemented as quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) pipelines to tolerate delay variations. With the ageing process of circuits, permanent faults may happen on links at runtime, causing both data errors and deadlocks of the network. This paper presents an asynchronous Spatial...
WS-BPEL processes ought to be adaptable even at run-time so as to adapt to the changing environments and requirements. It is cost-ineffective and time-consuming to restart a running WS-BPEL instance from scratch after the WS-BPEL process is changed. Instead, a WS-BPEL instance had better be transferred to the updated process. Current approaches to validity checking of instance migration are too conservative...
Regression test selection is to select a subset of existing tests to run, so as to identify the possible faults in the modified program. A promising regression test selection technique needs to be safe, that is, to select tests from the original test suite that can expose faults in the modified program under controlled regression testing. Existing safe regression test selection techniques however...
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an effective technique for identifying and eliminating possible failures. FMEA has been widely used in the manufacturing industry and in various phases of the life cycle of a product. The aim of FMEA is to ensure high quality and reliability. Design FMEA (DFMEA) is used to identify and analyze potential failure modes and their associated causes for product...
In this paper, a novel class of element-wise inverse Jacket transforms (EIJT) with many parameters are proposed for signal length . The EIJT has independent parameters. It is shown that the inverse transform of the proposed EIJT can be easily obtained by taking each reciprocal entry of the forward matrix of Jacket transform and then transposing the resulting matrix. Their fast...
In order to assist diagnosis and surgical repair of congenital mitral disease, quantitative analysis of 3D geometry of the mitral complex is necessary for better understanding mechanism and dysfunction of the mitral complex. This work aims to extract geometric parameters of mitral complex and utilize Support Vector Machines (SVM) based classifier to support diagnosis of congenital mitral regurgitation...
The purpose of this paper is to analyze individual customers' preferences for service channels of Chinese commercial banks in order to shed light on how these banks are able to effectively target their potential customers. A questionnaire survey was administered to the urban residents in two Chinese vastly different regions. Contingency analysis and optimal scaling were adopted in the analysis. The...
Based on the micro-panel data of 116 farmer households in 28 Chinese provinces from 2001 to 2007, the paper conducts an empirical analysis of the microfinance performance in different regions. The results show that rural microfinance exerts a significant effect on raising farmers' income. However, due to regional differences, the performance varies a lot. The key factors that affect the performance,...
The purpose of this paper was to investigate Chinese learners' behaviors in self-regulated computer-assisted language learning environments in order to shed light on the role of the teacher in such environments. Fifty-one students from a metropolitan city in North China were surveyed regarding their learning behaviors in a two-year English listening learning program at a self-access language learning...
