Implementation results of the exchange-correlation module are presented in this paper. The authors have ported a computationally intensive part of quantum chemistry code to FPGA, which involved a substantial modification of its structure so that it matches the platform’s profile. Additionally, a set of the authors’ customized modules for floating operations has been created along with software ...

Reproduction of reniform nematode Rotylenchulus reniformis on 139 soybean lines was evaluated in a greenhouse in the summer of 2001. Cultivars and lines (119 total) were new in the Arkansas and Mississippi Soybean Testing Programs, and an additional 20 were submitted by C. Overstreet, Louisiana State Extension Nematologist. A second test of 32 breeding lines and 2 cultivars from the Clemson Uni...

The presented work addresses the development of analytical tests for disturbed FM radio broadcast audio signals, in particular the discussion of improved orthogonal analyses for the detection of different kinds of disturbances in such scenarios. Two main aspects are in focus: The analyses shall predict the expected results of auditory listening tests for music and speech playback in vehicles, i...

Introduction: Several factors influence women’s decision to take First Trimester Screening (FTS) tests. These factors are associated with the ambivalence of women toward undergoing screening tests.  Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Shared Decision-Making (SDM) about undergoing FTS on Decisional Conflict (DC) immediately after consultation and uptake of FTS. Materials a...

Estimates were made of the proportion of chemicals that were carcinogenic, anticarcinogenic, or either in 397 long-term bioassays conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). The estimates were obtained from the global pattern of p-values obtained from statistical tests applied to individual experiments. These tests accounted for multiple comparisons using a randomization procedure and w...

325 Rapid, accurate, and precise analytical methods for assimilable nitrogen involving simple sample preparation, minimal waste products, and minimal instrumentation would be valuable tools for winemakers. Currently, several analytical methods are in common use. The Formol titration is a simple and rapid determination of assimilable nitrogen. This method involves the addition of neutralized for...

This paper deals with electromagnetic susceptibility of PC-based data acquisition systems (DASs) when subjected to electromagnetic disturbances considered in the EMC applicable standards. A suitable measurement procedure that allows the DAS susceptibility to be highlighted is proposed. Furthermore, a preliminary analysis of the measurement reproducibility is carried out with the aim of investig...

The aim of the present study was to present the diagnosis and treatment course of a patient with cobalamin C deficiency (cblC) hospitalized with renal function abnormality from the onset. A female, 7-year-old patient who presented with a cough and progressive dyspnea for 1 day was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Nanjing, China). A routine clinical examination ...
