"This guide provides a comprehensive look at preparing to face the GMAT outside the scope of Quant or Verbal preparation. You'll learn about pacing, time management, and how to deal with text anxiety."

Shock tube test time limitation due to the premature arrival of the contact surface is analytically investigated for wholly turbulent wall boundary layers. The results are compared with those for wholly laminar wall boundary layers. Working curves are presented for more accurate estimates of test time in specific cases. (Author) -- NTRL website.

Embedded memories are one of the fastest growing segments oftoday's new technology market. According to the 2001 InternationalTechnology Roadmap for Semiconductors, embedded memories will continueto dominate the increasing system on chip (SoC) content in the nextseveral years, approaching 94% of the SoC area in about 10 years.Furthermore, the shrinking size of manufacturing structures makesmemories more sensitive to defects. Consequently, the memory yieldwill have a dramatic impact on the overall Defect-per-million level, hence on the overall SoC yield. Meeting a high memory yield requiresunderstanding memory designs, modeling their faulty behaviors, designing adequate tests and diagnosis algorithms as well as efficientself-test and repair schemes."Testing Static Random Access Memories" covers testing of one ofthe important semiconductor memories types; it address testing ofstatic random access memories (SRAMs), both single-port andmulti-port. It contributes to the technical acknowledge needed bythose involved in memory testing, engineers and researchers. The bookbegins with outlining the most popular SRAMs architectures. Then, thedescription of realistic fault models, based on defect injection andSPICE simulation, are introduced. Thereafter, high quality and lowcost test patterns, as well as test strategies for single-port, two-port and any p-port SRAMs are presented, together with somepreliminary test results showing the importance of the new tests inreducing DPM level. The impact of the port restrictions (e.g., read-only ports) on the fault models, tests, and test strategies isalso discussed.Features:

From an historical perspective, this text presents an entirely non- mathematical introduction to astronomy from the first endeavours of the ancients to the current developments in research enabled by cutting edge technological advances. Free of mathematics and complex graphs, the book nevertheless explains deep concepts of space and time, of relativity and quantum mechanics, and of origin and nature of the universe. It conveys not only the intrinsic fascination of the subject, but also the human side and the scientific method as practised by Kepler, defined and elucidated by Galileo, and then demonstrated by Newton.

Historically, the reliability growth process has been thought of, and treated as, a reactive approach to growing reliability based on failures "discovered" during testing or, most unfortunately, once a system/product has been delivered to a customer. As a result, many reliability growth models are predicated on starting the reliability growth process at test time "zero", with some initial level of reliability (usually in the context of a time-based measure such as Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)). Time "zero" represents the start of testing, and the initial reliability of the test item is based on its inherent design. The problem with this approach, still predominant today, is that it ignores opportunities to grow reliability during the design of a system or product, i.e., opportunities to go into reliability growth testing with a higher initial inherent reliability at time zero. In addition to the traditional approaches to reliability growth during test, this book explores the activities and opportunities that can be leveraged to promote and achieve reliability growth during the design phase of the overall system life cycle. The ability to do so as part of an integrated, proactive design environment has significant implications for developing and delivering reliable items quickly, on time and within budget. This book offers new definitions of how failures can be characterized, and how those new definitions can be used to develop metrics that will quantify how effective a Design for Reliability (DFR) process is in (1) identifying failure modes and (2) mitigating their root failure causes. Reliability growth can only occur in the presence of both elements.

First published in 1985, the Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education quickly established itself as the essential reference work concerning gender equity in education. This new, expanded edition provides a 20-year retrospective of the field, one that has the great advantage of documenting U.S. national data on the gains and losses in the efforts to advance gender equality through policies such as Title IX, the landmark federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education, equity programs and research. Key features include: Expertise – Like its predecessor, over 200 expert authors and reviewers provide accurate, consensus, research-based information on the nature of gender equity challenges and what is needed to meet them at all levels of education. Content Area Focus – The analysis of gender equity within specific curriculum areas has been expanded from 6 to 10 chapters including mathematics, science, and engineering. Global/Diversity Focus – Global gender equity is addressed in a separate chapter as well as in numerous other chapters. The expanded section on gender equity strategies for diverse populations contains seven chapters on African Americans, Latina/os, Asian and Pacific Island Americans, American Indians, gifted students, students with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Action Oriented – All chapters contain practical recommendations for making education activities and outcomes more gender equitable. A final chapter consolidates individual chapter recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to achieve gender equity in and through education. New Material – Expanded from 25 to 31 chapters, this new edition includes: *more emphasis on male gender equity and on sexuality issues; *special within population gender equity challenges (race, ability and disability, etc); *coeducation and single sex education; *increased use of rigorous research strategies such as meta-analysis showing more sex similarities and fewer sex differences and of evaluations of implementation programs; *technology and gender equity is now treated in three chapters; *women’s and gender studies; *communication skills relating to English, bilingual, and foreign language learning; and *history and implementation of Title IX and other federal and state policies. Since there is so much misleading information about gender equity and education, this Handbook will be essential for anyone who wants accurate, research-based information on controversial gender equity issues—journalists, policy makers, teachers, Title IX coordinators, equity trainers, women’s and gender study faculty, students, and parents.
