The next phase, that is, the build phase, commences after the completion of the design phase. Design provides the guidelines, but the build phase really implements the design so that execution of the test can be carried out later. The first activity in the build phase is to plan the various activities for testing. However, building a comprehensive test plan is as important as executing the test itself. Apart from the test plan, testing the build phase also focuses on setting up a proper test environment, test schedule, and testing processes.

The focus of Chapter 4 was on the planning and definition phase of PT while this chapter provides an in-depth view of the test design phase. All the necessary inputs for PT are captured under the test definition phase. These inputs are the building blocks for the design phase of PT.

The test system for technical abilities of unmanned vehicles is gradually developed from the single test to comprehensive test. The pre-established test and evaluation system can promote the development of unmanned ground vehicles. The 2009 Future Challenge: Intelligent Vehicles and Beyond (FC’09) pushed China's unmanned vehicles out of laboratories. This paper proposed to design a more scientific and comprehensive test system for future competitions to better guide and regulate the development of China's unmanned vehicles. According to the design idea of stage by stage and level by level, the hierarchical test content from simple to advanced, from local to overall is designed. Then the hierarchic test environment is established according to the levels of test content. The test method based on multi-platform and multi-sensor is put forward to ensure the accuracy of test results. The testing criterion framework is set up to regulate future unmanned vehicle contests and to assess the unmanned vehicles scientifically and accurately.

AbstractFull and diverse participant enrollment is critical to the success and generalizability of all large-scale Phase III trials. Recruitment of sufficient participants is among the most significant challenges for many studies. The novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic has further changed and challenged the landscape for clinical trial execution, including screening and randomization. The Investigating Gains in Neurocognition in an Intervention Trial of Exercise (IGNITE) study has been designed as the most comprehensive test of aerobic exercise effects on cognition and brain health. Here we assess recruitment into IGNITE prior to the increased infection rates in the United States, and examine new challenges and opportunities for recruitment with a goal of informing the remaining required recruitment as infection containment procedures are lifted. The results may assist the design and implementation of recruitment for future exercise studies, and outline opportunities for study design that are flexible in the face of emerging threats.

The restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) came into force on July 1, 2006. Equipment producers will need to obtain materials declarations or certificates of compliance from their suppliers. Certain exemptions from this regulation, for example, RF ports and certain medical applications, still allow for the manufacture of LTCC products with non-RoHS-compliant materials. However, there is a continuously growing demand for LTCC products without cadmium or lead. Since the end of 2006 DuPont has been offering Cd-free Au pastes as possible replacements for established products. For cofiring internal and external conductors, Au paste type 5734 is frequently used by LTCC manufacturers. The alternative RoHS compliant paste is type CDF34. For pin, tab, and frame brazing, a combination of Au pastes 5062D (adhesion layer) and 5063D (barrier layer) are currently the first choice for according LTCC parts at MSE. The Cd-free versions are types 5062E and 5063E. MSE is validating all three new pastes according to a comprehensive test plan that includes five different test layouts for CDF34 and another two for 5062E and 5063E. Simultaneously, corresponding reference parts are built to have exact comparison possibilities. The validation of CDF34 includes the investigation of bondability and the reliability of resistor terminations, vias, and adhesive bonded components. Furthermore, the lateral migration (insulation resistance) is tested. The 5062E and 5063E validation includes the reliability of soldered components, vias in soldered pads, and soldering of frames and base plates. The different test cells include visual inspection, cross sections, initial measurements, and results after thermal cycling, thermal shock, temperature, and humidity exposure.
