This paper explores the influence of the ringing phenomena on the sustain waveform for AC PDP. We also announce a new circuit to improve the prior sustain circuit by reducing the ringing phenomena and thus get better performance such as increasing the operating margin, the luminous efficiency, the contrast ratio and decreasing the power dissipation.

Introduction: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most commonly used drugs to reduce pain and inflammation. Aceclofenac is a newer derivative of diclofenac with less gastrointestinal complications. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the toxicity profile of sustain release aceclofenac injection in rats at three dose levels, ranging from 2 to 10 mg/kg body weight. Mater...

People with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulties sustaining their attention on external tasks. Such attentional lapses have often been characterized as the simple opposite of external sustained attention, but the different types of attentional lapses, and the subjective experiences to which they correspond, remain unspecified. In this study, we showed that unmedicat...

Based on a comparative field study of two software development projects, we use ethnographic methods of observation and interview to examine the question of how interdependent individuals develop and maintain mutual focus of attention on a shared task, which we define as the group engagement process. Drawing on Randall Collins’ interaction ritual theory, we identify how mutual focus of attentio...

In order to explore the neurobiological foundations of qualitative subjective experiences, the present study was designed to correlate objective third-person brain fMRI measures with subjective first-person identification and scaling of local, subtle, and specific somatosensory sensations, obtained directly after the imaging procedure. Thus, thirty-four volunteers were instructed to focus and s...

SUSTAIN (Supervised and Unsupervised STratified Adaptive Incremental Network) is a network model of human category learning. SUSTAIN initially assumes a simple category structure. If simple solutions prove inadequate and SUSTAIN is confronted with a surprising event (e.g. it is told that a bat is a mammal instead of a bird), SUSTAIN recruits an additional cluster to represent the surprising eve...
