A novel reseeding technique for accumulator-based test pattern generation
2001
Proceedings of the 11th Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI - GLSVLSI '01
In this paper we present a novel reseeding technique for accumulator-based Test Pattern Generation suitable for circuits with hard-to-detect faults. ...
The proposed technique achieves complete fault coverage with shorter test sequences and requires less hardware for its implementation than the corresponding already-known techniques. ...
PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE The accumulator is utilised as a test pattern generator for testing blocks physically connected to it. The architecture of the proposed TPG is shown in Figure 1 . ...

Towards Indicators for a Negative Emissions Climate Stabilisation Index: Problems and Prospects
2020
Climate
The incongruence between the United Nations objective to hold global warming well below 2 °C and the rate of global emission reductions has intensified interest in negative emissions. ...
While discussing indicators capable of providing guidance on negative emissions is timely, given the emerging shift away from pure emission reduction targets towards net-zero targets, numerous complexities ...
