objective: some evidence suggests that chronic uptake of estragole and methyl-eugenol, found in the essential oil of artemisia dracunculus (tarragon), may be associated with an increased risk of hepato-carcinogenicity. the present study was conducted to investigate the immumodulatory and anti-inflammatory potentials of estragole and methyl-eugenol free extract of tarragon. materials and methods...

in recent years noise has been well known as an environmental pollution. particularly its effects will be more serious in some environments including hospitals which patients need a calm and peaceful condition. this study aims to evaluate hospitals noise pollution level. this study is a cross-sectional study. noise measurements were made in all hospital wards in a workday and weekend from 8 to ...

Noise immunity and low-energy computing have become limiting factors in semiconductor roadmap as feature sizes shrink. By viewing noise as a resource rather than as an impediment, we present a new approach to low-energy computing. The subject of our study is the probabilistic cmos (pcmos) inverter, whose behavior is rendered probabilistic by noise. Summarized through the concept of an energy-pr...

The need for faster circuits in smaller area with lower power dissipation has made it a common practice to use the domino CMOS in high performance integrated circuits. However this improved performance comes at the cost of lower noise immunity. Also current trends in integrated circuit technology have increased chances of crosstalk due to capacitive coupling. Though several works have investiga...

In this paper, five techniques of representing a digital image inside quantum processor are compared. The are: flexible representation images (FRQI), novel enhanced (NEQR), generalized (GQIR), multi-channel for (MCQI), and Boolean processing (QBIP). comparison will be based on implementations the Quirk simulator, IBM Q Experience processors, from point view performance, robustness (noise immuni...

added value of the methodology in terms of area, power, speed, electromagnetic interference (EMI), noise immunity, and so on; tradeoffs, which design parameters often worsen to achieve added values, such as speed versus power, and area versus EMI; and the cost of switching to the new methodology, including training time, development of new libraries, and time spent dealing with CAD tool immatur...

This paper presents adaptive-control schemes that estimate load-model parameters and adaptively “tune” a digital controller for an inductively-coupled power delivery circuit. Estimation algorithms are presented that utilize specific recursive formulations, which provide adequate noise immunity in a powerelectronic environment. The techniques are demonstrated using a servomechanical system and a...

This paper proposes a directional image force (DIF) for active contouring. DIF is the inner product of the zero crossing strength (ZCS) of wavelet frame coefficients, and the normal of a snake, by representing strength and orientation of edges at multiple resolution levels. DIF markedly improves the immunity of snakes to noise and convexity.

A CMOS receiver has been developed for use in high speed I/O circuits. The circuit integrates incoming data in order to increase noise immunity. It also uses a PLL to extract phase information from the received data and uses it to reconstruct a phase aligned local clock.
