Direct digital frequency synthesizers (DDSs) are of interest in modern digital communication systems and high-precision function generation. Wide frequency synthesis range, agile and continuous phase frequency switching, fine frequency resolution, and the ability to synthesize arbitrary waveforms as well as sinewaves are some of the important advantages of this family of frequency synthesizers....

We present a novel algorithm and a new understanding of reasoning about a sequence of deterministic actions with a probabilistic prior. When the initial state of a dynamic system is unknown, a probability distribution can be still specified over the initial states. Estimating the posterior distribution over states (filtering) after some deterministic actions occurred is a problem relevant to AI...

Differential dependencies (DDs) capture the relationships between data columns of relations. They are more general than functional dependencies (FDs) and and the difference is that DDs are defined on the distances between values of two tuples, not directly on the values. Because of this difference, the algorithms for discovering FDs from data find only special DDs, not all DDs and therefore are...

Introduction: Dietary diversity score (DDS) and Food variety score (FVS) are the appropriate measures used to evaluate the overall quality of dietary patterns. However, their associations with the serum levels of micronutrients remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the correlations between DDS/FVS and serum ferritin and magnesium status in the non-athlete femal...

We present two fully dynamic algorithms for maximum cardinality matching in bipartite graphs. Our main result is a deterministic algorithm that maintains a (3/2+ ) approximation in worst-case update time O(m −2.5), which is polynomially faster than all previous deterministic algorithms for any constant approximation, and faster than all previous algorithms (randomized included) that achieve a b...

To realize real-time information sharing in generic platforms, it is especially important to support dynamic message structure changes. For the case of IDL, it is necessary to rewrite applications to change data sample structures. In this paper, we propose a dynamic reconfiguration scheme of data sample structures for DDS. Instead of using IDL, which is the static data sample structure model of...

Cognitive defusion is one of the components psychological flexibility in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The purpose this study was to translate Drexel Defusion Scale (DDS) into Turkish test its psychometric properties. This two-phase carried out with two groups participants. first phase, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) included 370 university students (218 female, 152 male). second Confir...

BACKGROUND With rapid urbanization in the past decades, diet diversity continues to increase in China. The present cross-sectional study aims to explore the association between dietary diversity and nutritional status among adults in southwest China. METHODS This study used data from 2011-2012 National Nutritional Survey in Yunnan Province, southwest China (N = 1105).Data of three consecutive...
