In this paper multiphase oscillators built using fractional-order allpass filters are presented. We examine the theory behind their operation and demonstrate their usefulness in the design of both multiphase and quadrature oscillators. Case design examples are given for various scenarios, while PSPICE and experimental results verify their operation

Objective(s): Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that miRNAs contribute to various genetic and epigenetic modifications in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer (GC). Recent studies focused on the four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of pre-miRNAs including rs11614913, rs3746444, rs2910164, and rs2292832. It was suggested that these four SNPs were significantly associated with the risk ...

This paper presents the overview of traditional Chinese parsing task at SIGHAN Bake-offs 2012. On behalf of task organizers, we describe all aspects of the task for traditional Chinese parsing, i.e., task description, data preparation, performance metrics, and evaluation results. We summarize the performance results of all participant teams in this evaluation, in the hope to encourage more futu...

some believe that ancient mythological and literary texts solely aimed to amuse and entertain, and were sprouted from their feelings and thoughts, and do not regard the study of the ancient and mythological stories as having the definiteness and clarity which science is known for it. hence, this is why mythological stories in reality convey the beliefs, nature, attitudes and the extent of human...

traditional medicines, according to the world health organization, are defined as “the sum total of the knowledge, skill, and practices based on the beliefs, theories, and experiences indigenous to different cultures that are based and developed historically. due to the increasing uses of traditional medicines worldwide, it seems that cognition of their principles and foundations are necessary....

We discuss duality in N = 1 SUSY gauge theories in Seiberg’s conformal window, (3Nc/2) < Nf < 3Nc. The ’t Hooft consistency conditions – the basic tool for establishing the infrared duality – are considered taking into account higher order α corrections. The conserved (anomaly free) R current is built to all orders in α. Although this current contains all orders in α the ’t Hooft consistency co...

The notion of Equality of Opportunity (EO) has pervaded much of economic and social justice policy and research over the last half century. The sense that differences in agent outcomes that are the consequence of their individual choice and effort are acceptable, whereas variation in agent outcomes that are the consequence of circumstances beyond their control are not has underpinned much gende...

The “convex hull problem” is a catch-all phrase for computing various descriptions of a polytope that is either specified as the convex hull of a finite point set in R or as the intersection of a finite number of halfspaces. We first define the various problems and discuss their mutual relationships (Section 26.1). We discuss the very special case of the irredundancy problem in Section 26.2. We...

This paper proposes secure regenerating codes that are composed of non-secure regenerating codes and a new all-or-nothing transform. Unlike the previous analysis of secure regenerating codes, the security of the proposed codes is analyzed in the sense of the indistinguishability. The advantage of the proposed codes is that the overhead caused by the security against eavesdropping is much less t...

there are much heterogeneity in the genetic variation of type 2 diabetes (t2d). the purpose of this study was to investigate the association of seven novel genetic loci identified in a recent genome-wide association studies (gwas) with t2d in chinese dong populations.a case-controlled study was performed in individuals of chinese dong nationality. the genotypes of pard3b (rs849230), loc729993 (...
