The primary aim of this study was to determine the relationship between certain aspects of coordination, the time course of a bout and sport-related skill levels in cadet judoists. The study evaluated eight judokas with high sport skill levels. Based on the analysis of tournament matches (N=66), the authors determined the activity, effectiveness of actions and the level of achievement. Ten aspe...

Mupirocin is a topical antimicrobial agent utilized in treatment of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Mupirocin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is increasingly being reported in many parts of the world in the context of its widespread use. The objectives of this study were to determine the susceptibility of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates to mupiroci...

OBJECTIVES We determined the in vitro activity of retapamulin, a novel pleuromutilin antibiotic, against 664 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from the UK, including many resistant to fusidic acid and/or highly resistant to mupirocin. METHODS MICs were determined on Mueller-Hinton agar in accordance with the CLSI guidelines. Susceptibility was categorized using CLSI criteria, where available; ot...

In a high level synthesis environment there is a strong need for flexible module generators. For the generation of regular structures efficient dedicated module generators can be built. This paper describes the structure of a ’block– multiplier’, which features a wide range of area–time tradeoffs maintaining efficiency. The structure makes it possible to implement a fully serial or a fully para...

| This paper describes a novel approach to high-level synthesis of arbitrarily complex pipelined circuits, including pipelined circuits with feedback, and the synthesis algorithm that makes the approach viable in practice. Our approach provides a high-level, modular speciication language with an eecient implementation. In our system, the designer speciies the circuit as a set of independent mod...

T/ie paper describes objcctives of high-level synthesis. It concentrates on operation scheduling strategies and thc interaction with the resource allocation. Some transformational and iterative/constructive scheduling algorithms are described. Moreover, a new scheduling/alhcation approach is prcsented and compared with other known algorithms. Finally, some open problems of the high-levcl synthe...

In this paper, we present a first approach for array-level energy estimation during high-level synthesis when mapping piecewise regular algorithms onto massively parallel full size processor arrays. Innately, piecewise regular algorithms have some power consumption friendly properties, e.g., they may be mapped onto processor arrays with only local interconnect and memory. In addition to these p...

A known problem in the area of hardware/software codesign is the selection of the proper interface between the different parts of the design. This paper presents a technique which eases the selection by combining different synthesis techniques together with rapid prototyping. Application field of the technique is the design of communication systems where C and VHDL are generated from a specific...

There is now a good understanding of problems encountered in the design, implementation and use of a high-level language converter. These general issues are illustrated in terms of an account of the design and implementation of one particular converter, which converts programs from Pascal-SC (a Pascal dialect) to Ada. A specific aim of the presentation is to provide guidance for those contempla...

This paper presents a number of design concepts and ideas for a group spreadsheet. Unlike single user spreadsheets, these group spreadsheets should have speciic features to enhance group communication, and to maintain a shared context. Rather than presenting a single design, we discuss alternatives and general-izable issues because the speciic design can be very dependent upon the environment. ...
