A new current-mode (CM) single input three outputs (SITO) multifunction filter topology is presented, which employs only three FTFNs or OFAs and five passive elements. From this topology, two filter circuits can be derived selecting the passive elements properly. The proposed filter realizes three filter functions simultaneously all at high impedance outputs. No component matching is required a...

Linear measurements of passive mandibular border positions and angular measurements of passive opening were recorded in a group of patients with craniomandibular disorders. The relationships between signs and symptoms of craniomandibular disorders and abnormal capacity of movement were studied. There was significant association of some signs and symptoms related to the temporomandibular joint a...

This paper empirically compares three estimation methods—regression, calibration, and principal person— used in a household survey for post-stratification. Posttratification is important in many household surveys to adjust for nonresponse and the population undercount that esults from frame deficiencies. The correction for population undercoverage is usually achieved by adjusting estimated peop...

Researchers have long been puzzled by the challenge English passive constructions present for language learners, with adult-like comprehension and production emerging only around the age of 5. It has therefore been of significant interest that researchers of other languages, including the Bantu language Sesotho, have reported acquisition of the passive by the age of 3 (Demuth, 1989). Such repor...

background: radon and its daughters are amongst the most important sources of natural exposure in the world. soil is one of the significant sources of radon/thoron due to both radium and thorium so that the emanated thoron from it may cause increased uncertainties in radon measurements. recently, a diffusion chamber has been designed and optimized for passive discriminative measurements of rado...

background: separate radon and thoron measurements in soil are very important in assessment of internal exposure due to inhalation of such radioactive gases. materials and methods: in this study, a low cost, small size, passive diffusion chamber has been developed for simple measurement of radon-222 and radon-220(thoron) gases separately in soil. the diffusion chamber consists of two films and ...

One of the main principles of the passive defense is the principle of site selection. In this paper, we propose a multiple objective nonlinear programming model that considers the principle of the site selection in terms of two qualitative and quantitative aspects. The purpose of the proposed model is selection of the place of facilities of a system in which not only it observes the dispersion ...

In this paper, a new voltage controlled first order all-pass filter is presented. The proposed circuit employs a single differential voltage dual-X second generation current conveyor (DV-DXCCII) and a grounded capacitor only. The proposed all-pass filter provides both inverting and non inverting voltage-mode outputs from the same configuration simultaneously without any matching condition. Non-...

Three assays for detection of rubella antibodies, Rubella G (fluorescence immunoassay [FIA]), Rubacell (passive hemagglutination), and Rubaquick (passive hemagglutination with rotation), were compared with hemagglutination inhibition. A total of 100 serum specimens were selected, 68 of which had an FIA value of less than or equal to 25. On initial testing, among the four tests, there was agreem...
