PTGBP adopts hybrid circuit mode and hybrid fault model, and organizes the parallel course in term of master/slave mode. Master processor loads the whole netlist of CUT based on BFB, every slave processor loads logic level (gate/function block/basic logic units) netlist of a BFB. Test generation (TG) uses BFB input/output s-a-0/s-a-1 fault model; fault simulation uses logic level single stuck fault model. Master controls the PTGBP’s running course and ensures the correctness of its running result; slaves provide the results of fault sensitization compatible computation and fault simulation to master parallelly. PTGBP algorithm is under implementation.展开更多

The nonlinear stochastic integral equation is transformed into a set of algebraic equations by operational matrix of block pulse functions. Then, we give error analysis and prove that the rate of convergence of this method is efficient. Lastly, a numerical example is given to confirm the method.展开更多

In addition, we may consider that the PECS block is also effective for motor function in postoperative period. Therefore, we investigated the effect of PECS block for motor function in postoperative period. Methods: This study selected the patients performed the breast cancer surgery between April and September, 2015. The study surveyed the difficulty of movement of the upper limbs at postoperative day 5 (D5) and postoperative month 6 (M6) by performing telephone survey. We counted the number of patients who complained of the difficulty of movement of the upper limbs. All results were compared using the chi- squared test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: 93 patients received only general anesthesia (G group). 85 patients received PECS block with general anesthesia (P group). The number of the P group at D5 was 2 patients. On the other hand, the number of the G group was 15 patients (P = 0.042). In the same way, the number of the P group M6 was no patient. On the other hand, the number of the G group was 10 patients (P = 0.043). Conclusion: A PECS block is effective for motor function recovery in the early postoperative period after breast cancer surgery.展开更多
