There are many similarities between embryonic development and tumorigenesis, and gene expression profiles show that certain correlations exist between the gene signature during development and the clinical phenotypes of different cancers. Our group previously reported the gene expression profiles of human lung development, and the expression of one group of proliferation-related genes (PTN1 gen...

The comparator is designed in pipelined ADC. FINFET is the technology which performs the dual gate MOSFET. This thesis focuses on the high-speed design of pipelined ADC. In the meanwhile, we try to minimize the power dissipation as well. In this thesis, A semidigital Gm-based amplifier is proposed for a low-power pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC )in HSPICE .And also we compare the pow...

In this paper, a new design for a low power CMOS flash Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is proposed. A 6-bit flash ADC, with a maximum acquisition speed of 1GHz, is implemented in a 1.2 V analog supply voltage. HSpice simulation results for the proposed flash ADC verifying the analytical results are also given. It shows that the proposed 6-bit flash ADC consumes less power i n a commercial 90n...

This paper describes an algorithm for Successive Approximation Register (SAR) ADCs with overlapping steps that allow comparison decision errors (due to, such as DAC incomplete settling) to be digitally corrected. We generalize this non-binary search algorithm, and clarify which decision errors it can digitally correct. This algorithm requires more SAR ADC conversion steps than a binary search a...

To deal with the wide dynamic rage necessary for a radio receiver or corresponding applications, but to avoid impractically high resolution at high data rates, the approach of using a floating-point analog-to-digital converter (FP-ADC) has been investigated. This approach de-links the dynamic range with the resolution, and a very wide dynamic range can be achieved by an ADC with a moderate reso...

BACKGROUND Congestive hepatomegaly might be the first sign for pulmonary hypertension. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value obtained with quantitative diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is affected by liver fibrosis and perfusion. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of DW-MRI in cooperation with biochemical markers, ultrasonography (US) and echocardiography (TTE)...

The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is an essential part of system-on-chip (SoC) products because it bridges the gap between the analog physical world and the digital logical world. In the digital domain, low power and low voltage requirements are becoming more important issues as the channel length of MOSFET shrinks below 0.25 sub-micron values. Moreover, SoC trends force ADCs to be integrat...

PURPOSE We evaluated the utility of quantitative diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) for assessing both the relationship between the degree of fibrosis and the histological activity index (HAI) in chronic hepatitis (CH) cases and attempted to determine whether the apparent diffusion coefficient value (ADC) could be used as a reference for the degree of fibrosis detected by hi...

BACKGROUND AND AIM To assess the role of diffusion weighted imaging sequence (DWI), routinely used in hepatic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from benign liver lesions. METHODS A number of 56 liver MRI examinations were retrospectively analyzed independently by two experienced radiologists, blinded to each other results. A total numbe...

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted imaging in detection of active sacroiliitis and compare the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and normalized relative ADC (r-ADC) values by using vertebra and iliac wings as reference organs. Patients and methods: The study included 56 patients (26 males, 30 females; mean age 37.7±10.1 years; range 18 to 66 years) with ch...
