In this paper, our main focus is to reduce computation delay proposed in previous FFA algorithm based FIR digital filter. Parallel FIR filter structure with fast finite-impulse response (FIR) along with symmetric coefficients reduces the hardware cost, under the condition that the number of taps is a multiple of 2 or 3. . The proposed parallel FIR structures exploit the inherent nature of symme...

Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) has been an important afforestation species in northeast China. It has obvious defects of buckling and cracking easily, which are caused by its chemical components. Trametes versicolor (L.) Lloyd, a white-rot fungus, can decompose the cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in the wood. White-rot fungus was used to biologically degrade Chinese fi...

This paper examines the optimum design of FIR precoders or equalizers for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) frequencyselective wireless channels. For the case of a left-coprime FIR channel, which arises generically when the number nT of transmit antennas is larger than the number nR of receive antennas, the Bezout matrix identity can be employed to design an FIR MIMO precoder that equalizes...

We present the correlation between the far-infrared (FIR) and radio emissions from a composite sample of 72 nearby normal galaxies observed with the ISOPHOT instrument on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The galaxies in the sample have measurements at three FIR wavelengths (60, 100 and 170μm), which allowed a direct determination of the warm and cold FIR emission components. This is the fi...

BACKGROUND Far-infrared ray (FIR) has been widely used in promoting health and has been shown to exert beneficial effects in vascular function. The non-thermal effect of FIR has been found to play a significant role in the protective effect on some vascular-related diseases, but its protective effects and use against hypertension have not been clearly presented. METHODS In the present study, ...

Ultraviolet (UV) induces skin photoaging, which is characterized by thickening, wrinkling, pigmentation, and dryness. Collagen, which is one of the main building blocks of human skin, is regulated by collagen synthesis and collagen breakdown. Autophagy was found to block the epidermal hyperproliferative response to UVB and may play a crucial role in preventing skin photoaging. In the present st...

Acquired tracheal stenosis remains a challenging problem for otolaryngologists. The objective of this study was to determine whether the Sendai virus (SeV)-mediated c-myc suppressor, a far upstream element (FUSE)-binding protein (FBP)-interacting repressor (FIR), modulates wound healing of the airway mucosa, and whether it prevents tracheal stenosis in an animal model of induced mucosal injury....

Although finite impulse response (FIR) models are nonparsimonious, they are frequently used in model predictive control (MPC) systems because they can fit arbitrarily complex stable linear dynamics. However, identification of FIR models from experimental data may result in data-overfitting and high modeling uncertainty. To overcome this, FIR models may be determined by (a) regularization-based ...

BACKGROUND The unique work of faculty-in-residence (FIRs) is premised on a substantial amount of research, which demonstrates that faculty-student engagement benefits students positively. Still, there is a dearth of literature that focuses on FIR work. In particular, there is no published research on the historical context for FIRs and no published research that provides an overarching analysis...

We examined tree diameter, age structure, and successional trends in 100 montane forest plots to identify the effects of variation in the return interval, severity, and extent of fires on forest structure and dynamics in the southern Cascade Range, California. We classified 100 forest plots into 8 groups based on stand structural characteristics. Median point fire return intervals were shortest...
