Wireless communication systems and Ethernet networks call for moderateresolution GS/s energy-efficient ADCs. While previous work [1] shows that the multi-bit per cycle SAR ADC can achieve low power due to various hardware reduction techniques, there are still a few limitations that restrain this architecture. First, the pre-charge slows down the logic and the DAC settling, especially during the...

Sardinia acts as an ideal setting for multiple sclerosis (MS) studies because its prevalence of MS is one of the highest worldwide. Several pathogens have been investigated amongst 119 Sardinian MS patients and 117 healthy controls to determine whether they might have a role in triggering MS in genetically predisposed individuals. Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and Epstein Ba...

In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm that can reduce the complexity for inter mode decision of the H.264 encoder by minimizing a large amount of calculation of inter mode decision process adaptively. We focus mainly on extracting the large block size mode, which is 16x16 mode, efficiently. From examination of various sequences, we know that the percentage of large block size mode which se...

Electronic structure calculations are now indispensible for understanding chemical phenomena. Density functional theory (DFT), which is simple, conceptual, and applicable to large systems, has emerged as a powerful computational tool to tackle molecular electronic structures. DFT efficiently calculates electronic structure with high accuracy, and its algorithm is suitable for parallel computing...

background cervical cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in under-developed countries. human papilloma virus (hpv) 16 and 18 are the most prevalent types associated with carcinogenesis in the cervix. conventional polymerase chain reaction (pcr), type-specific and consensus primer-based pcr followed by sequencing, restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) or hybridization by sp...
