Manual software testing is a widely practiced verification and validation method that is unlikely to fade away despite the advances in test automation. In the domain of manual testing, many practitioners advocate exploratory testing (ET), i.e., creative, experience-based testing without predesigned

that interventions that attempted to change a broad array of health behaviors, such as body weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking, were less effective than programs that focused solely on body weight. Our clinical experience from designing and evaluating prevention programs also suggests

This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable

April 29, 2011Für UnsShe had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it Lewis CarrollThe following document, written under the supervision of Dr. reviewed by:

dimensions: the “enstrophy cascade, ” for which the spectral exponent α = 3, and the “inverse energy cascade, ” for which the spectral exponent α = 5/3. We find that the functional relation between the frictional drag f and the Reynolds number Re depends on the spectral exponent: where α = 3, f ∝ Re−1

We proposed a goodness-of-fit test for max-stable processes based on the comparison between a nonparametric and a parametric estimator of the corresponding unknown multivariate Pickands dependence function. The proposed two-step procedure separates the estimation of marginal

experiments confirms the relative performance of IASI and AIRS, and shows that impact from IASI is equivalent to a single AMSU-A+MHS. Analysis of a second season Global model IASI assimilation trial indicates that the measurement of impact is strongly affected by variations in performance of the control
