Background Ultrasound is the first line modality in evaluation of pelvic masses in female patients. It is helpful in detection of masses and also in determining origin of them. Tissue characterization is possible with gray scale but Doppler study is quite necessary and considers as complimentary method. Most of the time, it should be performed in vaginal US exam. Existence of vascularity and al...

The influence of the architecture on analog-to-digital converter modeling is investigated for the three most widespread architectures: integrating, successive approximations, and flash. The effects of main error sources are analyzed in terms of integral and differential nonlinearity with the aim of setting up a unified error model. Such a model is useful both to economically generate a look-up ...

The combination of graphene and nickel oxide nanoparticles yields nanostructured electrochemical sensor formed a novel kind of structurally uniform and electrocatalytic activity material. In cyclic voltammetry studies, in the presence of epinephrine, nickel oxide / graphene  composite modified electrode shows a significantly higher current response for epinephrine oxidation. Based on differenti...

in recent years due to improvements of technology within automobile industry, design process of advanced driver assistance systems for collision avoidance and traffic management has been investigated in both academics and industrial levels. detection of traffic signs is an effective method to reach the mentioned aims. in this paper a new intelligent driver assistance system based on traffic sig...

Recently, DRDC Valcartier has been investigating novel ground-based longwave hyperspectral imaging (HSI) remote sensing techniques. Specific projects include the development of a new ground-based sensor called MoDDIFS (Multi-Option Differential Detection and Imaging Fourier Spectrometer), which is a leading edge infrared (IR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensor optimized for the standoff detecti...

In this paper, we show that differential detection of DS-CDMA signals transmitted over a severe frequency-selective fading channel is possible. Joint frequency-domain differential detection and equalization (FDDDE) based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion is proposed. A simple decision feedback filter is used to provide a reliable reference signal for MMSE-FDDDE. It is confirmed ...

Coherent frequency-domain equalisation (FDE) of DS-CDMA signals suffers from channel estimation error. Frequency-domain differential detection and equalisation (FDDDE) for the reception of differentially encoded DS-CDMA signals transmitted over a frequency-selective fading channel is proposed. At a transmitter, the differentially encoded data symbol is spread and transmitted. At a receiver, dif...

Chinchillas were trained with shock-avoidance procedures to discriminate or detect pure-tone frequency differences. Inital attempts at determining frequency-difference thresholds utilized a complex discrimination paradigm and a go-no-go response. Although discriminations of large frequency differences were obtained from chinchillas after considerable training, discriminations of small frequency...
