Testing Java Monitors By State Space Exploration
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Java monitors are classes that are intended to be accessed by multiple threads at the same time. Detecting synchronization faults in Java Monitors is considerably more challenging than testing regular classes, due to the ...
Monitorexplorer: A State-space Exploration Based Tool To Test Java Monitors Implementations
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A monitor is a concurrency construct that encapsulates data. There are many application classes which are written using the Java Monitors and these are difficult to test due to the inherent complexities of the concurrent ...
Automated Software Testing Using Covering Arrays
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Modern society is increasingly dependent on the quality of software systems. Software testing is a widely used approach to ensure software quality. Since exhaustive testing is impractical due to resource constraints, it ...
Perception Of Diversity
(Psychology, 2007-08-23)
Two studies were conducted to examine effects of diversity on perception. The primary purpose of the first study was to see how people perceive diverse groups, how comfortable they are working in such groups, and how ...
Adult ESOL Reading Comprehension And Text-to-speech Software
(Linguistics, 2007-08-23)
This study involved ten ESOL adults and examines the extent to which text-to-speech (TTS) software facilitates their reading comprehension. The five treatment participants read fifty, 300-word, non-fiction stories and ...
Fabrication Of A Silicon Single Electron Transistor
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
Single electronics has bright prospects because of its high scalability. The single electron transistor (SET) which utilizes these principles could replace the current workhorse of the industry, the MOSFET.
The SET is ...
Learner Perceptions Of Small Group And Pair Work In The ESL Classroom: Implications For Conditions In Second Language Acquisition
(Linguistics, 2007-08-23)
Second language acquisition (SLA) research finds that small group (SG) and pair work (PW) are essential tools in language learning, specifically creating optimal conditions for negotiation of meaning (e.g., Long, 1985; ...
Legitimate Strategies In Writing : Exploring ESOL Learner Perspectives On Attribution
(Humanities, 2007-08-23)
In many academic institutions today, ESOL (English as a Second or Other Language) writers may incorporate background sources into their writing in ways unrecognized by their academic institutions, which could lead to these ...
Simulation And E-beam Patterning Of Single Electron Transistor
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Electron beam lithography is gaining widespread use as semiconductor industry. Current optical lithography techniques are limited to resolution of few hundreds of nanometers and suffer from diffraction problems.
The focus ...
Simulation And Characterization Of ZnSe/BeTe Resonant Tunneling Diode On Silicon
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
ZnSe/BeTe resonant tunneling diodes were grown on silicon with a ZnxBe1-xTe buffer layer using MBE (Molecular Beam epitaxy).These devices were processed and characterized. The devices showed multiple NDR (negative differential ...
