Abstract A systemic analysis was chosen to evaluate a real case Bluetooth (BT) radio failure in the aspects of RF communication, digital design, firmware, application software, semiconductor device physics and processing, and failure analysis. This paper explores the range of testing, including customer application testing, required to confirm and localize a BT RF communication failure. It shows that the radio communication failure was not, as expected, caused by faulty radio hardware; it was rather linked to problematic encryption hardware at the assistance of the Synergy BT to mobile application. The paper also explores that the digital fault can only be detected by the timing sensitive transition fault scan patterns and how to obtain the physical failure location. Thus, the combination of ATPG and application testing provides a consistency between electrical diagnostics which yields a higher success rate at subsequent physical failure analysis of complex modern RF System on a Chip.

Применение древесины осины в промышленном производстве материалов и изделий ограничено из-за ее низких механических свойств, подверженности поражению коррозионно-деструктивной гнили, отсутствием должного обоснования технологии ее переработки. Невостребованная осина осложняет условия хозяйствования в лесу, ухудшает породный состав древостоев, препятствует восстановлению хвойных пород древесины. Древесина осины хуже смачивается водой по сравнению с другими породами. Изучение ее поверхностных свойств и строения на микроуровне представляет безусловный интерес для изучения взаимодействия древесины с водой, жидкими клеящими и защитно-декоративными веществами. Это сложная многопараметрическая задача, решение которой может явиться новым инструментом для обоснования наукоемких технологических процессов сушки, пропитки, склеивания и облагораживания древесины. Истинная поверхность древесины, образованная в результате обработки резанием (лущением, пилением, фрезерованием) значительно больше ее проекции на плоскости в результате разрезания микроструктурных элементов. Неровности на поверхности искажают результаты измерения поверхностных свойств, определяемых на основе угла смачивания. Учитывая то, что размеры стенок клеток меньше размеров полостей, истинная площадь поверхности древесины, в зависимости от вида разреза, может в десятки раз превышать кажущуюся. Ухудшение способности смачиваться объясняет образование на поверхности капель клея, нанесенного на шпон методом вальцевания. При горячем прессовании фанеры в первый момент времени повышается подвижность молекул клея, снижается упругость древесины, поверхность выравнивается, улучшая условия адгезионного взаимодействия связующего и древесины. Для определения истинных характеристик древесины, обоснования расхода клея, способности древесины поглощать жидкость необходимо знать размеры ее микроструктурных элементов и характер их распределения, объем поверхностных полостей. Эффективный радиус полостей древесины осины может быть описан с использованием теории фракталов. The use of aspen wood in manufacturing of materials and products is limited due to its low mechanical properties, corrosion susceptibility destructive lesion decay, its lack of proper justification processing technology. Unclaimed aspen difficult economic conditions in the forest, degrades the species composition of forest stands and prevents restoration of softwood. Wood aspen worse moistened with water compared to other breeds. The study of its structure and surface properties at the micro level is of great interest to study the interaction of wood with water, liquid adhesives and protective-decorative materials. This is the problem whose solution can be a new tool for the study of science-intensive technological processes of drying, impregnation, gluing and surface finishes. Real wood surface, formed by the machining (peeling, sawing, milling) significantly greater its projection on the plane as a result of cutting the microstructural elements. Surface irregularities distort the results of measurement of surface properties which are determined based on the contact angle. Given that the size of the cell walls is less than the size of the cavities, the true surface area of the veneer, depending on the type of incision, may be ten times the apparent. The deterioration of the ability of wetted explains the formation of droplets on the surface of adhesive deposited on the veneer by rolling. When plywood hot pressing at a first time increases mobility of adhesive molecules, decreases the modulus of elasticity of wood, surface is aligned, improving the conditions of interaction of the glue and the wood. To determine the true characteristics of the wood, glue flow study, the ability of wood to absorb liquid it is necessary to know the size of microstructural elements and their distribution, the amount of surface cavities. The effective radius of aspen wood cavities can be described using fractal theory.

UNSTRUCTURED Over half of Americans report looking up health-related questions on the internet, including questions regarding their own ailments. The internet, in its vastness of information, provides a platform for patients to understand how to seek help and understand their condition. In most cases, this search for knowledge serves as a starting point to gather evidence that leads to a doctor’s appointment. However, in some cases, the person looking for information ends up tangled in an information web that perpetuates anxiety and further searches, without leading to a doctor’s appointment. The Internet can provide helpful and useful information; however, it can also be a tool for self-misdiagnosis. Said person craves the instant gratification the Internet provides when ‘googling’ – something one does not receive when having to wait for a doctor’s appointment or test results. Nevertheless, the Internet gives that instant response we demand in those moments of desperation. Cyberchondria, a term that has entered the medical lexicon in the 21st century after the advent of the internet, refers to the unfounded escalation of people’s concerns about their symptomatology based on search results and literature online. ‘Cyberchondriacs’ experience mistrust of medical experts, compulsion, reassurance seeking, and excessiveness. Their excessive online research about health can also be associated with unnecessary medical expenses, which primarily arise from anxiety, increased psychological distress, and worry. This vicious cycle of searching information and trying to explain current ailments derives into a quest for associating symptoms to diseases and further experiencing the other symptoms of said disease. This psychiatric disorder, known as somatization, was first introduced to the DSM-III in the 1980s. Somatization is a psycho-biological disorder where physical symptoms occur without any palpable organic cause. It is a disorder that has been renamed, discounted, and misdiagnosed from the beginning of the DSMs. Somatization triggers span many mental, emotional, and cultural aspects of human life. Our environment and social experiences can lay the blueprint for disorders to develop over time; an idea that is widely accepted for underlying psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. The research is going in the right direction by exploring brain regions but needs to be expanded on from a sociocultural perspective. In this work, we explore the relationship between somatization disorder and the condition known as cyberchondria. First, we provide a background on each of the disorders, including their history and psychological perspective. Second, we proceed to explain the relationship between the two disorders, followed by a discussion on how this relationship has been studied in the scientific literature. Thirdly, we explain the problem that the relationship between these two disorders creates in society. Lastly, we propose a set of intervention aids and helpful resource prototypes that aim at resolving the problem. The proposed solutions ranged from a site-specific clinic teaching about cyberchondria to a digital design-coded chrome extension available to the public.

The design and construction of this canopy and landscape for a small courtyard [1] took the form of an adventure in digital design and low-tech construction. The installation was for the end of year party in June 2002 at the Academie van Bouwkunst in Amsterdam. The courtyard occupies a central space in the school adjacent to the main lecture hall and contains a historic cobblestone court [2]. One of the design team, Neil Leach, proposed that it should be transformed into an enchanted garden suggestive of Dutch greenhouses and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

AbstractTo investigate the influence of the fissure morphology on the dynamic mechanical properties of the rock and the crack propagation, a drop hammer impact test device was used to conduct impact failure tests on sandstones with different fissure numbers and fissure dips, simultaneously recorded the crack growth after each impact. The box fractal dimension is used to quantitatively analyze the dynamic change in the sandstone cracks and a fractal model of crack growth over time is established based on fractal theory. The results demonstrate that under impact test conditions of the same mass and different heights, the energy absorbed by sandstone accounts for about 26.7% of the gravitational potential energy. But at the same height and different mass, the energy absorbed by the sandstone accounts for about 68.6% of the total energy. As the fissure dip increases and the number of fissures increases, the dynamic peak stress and dynamic elastic modulus of the fractured sandstone gradually decrease. The fractal dimensions of crack evolution tend to increase with time as a whole and assume as a parabolic. Except for one fissure, 60° and 90° specimens, with the extension of time, the increase rate of fractal dimension is decreasing correspondingly.

Performance-based, service-life design of wood has been the focus of much research in recent decades. Previous works have been synthesized in various factorized design frameworks presented in the form of technical reports. Factorization does not consider the non-linear dependency between decay-influencing effects, such as between detail design and climate variables. The CLICKdesign project is a joint European effort targeting digital, performance-based specification for service-life design (SLD) of wood. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a semi-empirical moisture model (SMM) as a basis for a digital SLD framework. The performance of the SMM is assessed by comparison against a finite element model (FEM). In addition, two different wood decay models (a logistic, LM, and simplified logistic model (SLM)) are compared. While discrepancies between the SMM and FEM were detected particularly at high wood moisture content, the overall performance of the SMM was deemed sufficient for the application. The main source of uncertainty instead stems from the choice of wood decay model. Based on the results, a new method based on pre-calculated time series, empirical equations, and interpolation is proposed for predicting the service life of wood. The method is fast and simple yet able to deal with non-linear effects between weather variables and the design of details. As such, it can easily be implemented as part of a digital design guideline to provide decision support for architects and engineers, with less uncertainty than existing factorized guidelines.
