Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOptimal Test Time for System-on-Chip Designs using Fuzzy Logic and Process AlgebraG. Rohini, S. SalivahananProblem statement: Test scheduling is crucially important for optimal SoC test automation to allocate the limited available test resources. In this study we introduced a fuzzy based engine to allocate test resources. The minimized test application time can be achieved by test pipelining. However the test power consumption incurred during test procedure must be controlled in order not to offend … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,520 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytocompatibility and Antimicrobial Properties of Silver Nanoparticles-Loaded AMPs in the Oral CavityYanli Lv, Weikai ZhangPostoperative infection following oral metal implantation is a key factor that affects the success rate of surgery. This infection is mainly caused by bacterial biofilms. Traditional single antibacterial coatings have limitations, including a narrow antibacterial spectrum and poor cytotoxicity or stability. This study combined silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and the synthetic antimicrobial peptide GL13K using electrostatic self-assembly technology to create a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2026 · 1,685 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractDental Caries Etiology: A Modified Six-Factor Model and Venn DiagramJohn Sami MamounDietary fermentable carbohydrates or sucrose may be metabolized by cariogenic bacteria at a specific tooth surface site, which may result in an episode of the site having a pH of 5.5 or less, that may cause temporary net demineralization. Numerous demineralization episodes at a specific tooth surface may result in a carious lesion if saliva does not remineralize the surface … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2025 · 3,698 accessesView PDFCite
