Extracellular toxins released by marine toxigenic algae into the marine environment have attracted increasing attention in recent years. In this study, profiling, characterization and quantification of extracellular toxin compounds associated with diarrhetic shellfish poison (DSP) in the culture medium of toxin-producing dinoflagellates were performed using high-performance liquid chromatograph...

Despite the progress made in developing more advanced compilers for embedded systems, programming of embedded high-performance computing systems based on Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) is still a highly skilled manual task. This is true for single-processor systems, and even more for embedded systems based on multiple DSPs. Compilers often fail to optimise existing DSP codes written in C due ...

Title of dissertation: DATAFLOW INTEGRATION AND SIMULATION TECHNIQUES FOR DSP SYSTEM DESIGN TOOLS Chia-Jui Hsu Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Professor Shuvra S. Bhattacharyya Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering System-level modeling, simulation, and synthesis using dataflow models of computation are widespread in electronic design automation (EDA) tools for ...

Java is for sure the most popular programming language today. Its popularity is based on the portability of the code and on the elegant programming framework provided by the language: built in garbage collection and multi-threaded support, easy Internet application development through socket streams, and last but not least familiar syntax. Even if a lot of work has already been done related to ...

The digital band-pass filters used in the system and the DSP algorithm realizing the FM discriminator were designed using Matlab [3]. The filter coefficients and discriminator algorithm are incorporated in a program running on the DSP board. The DSP board samples the signal emitted by the ground-based radio navigation aid and processes the sampled data to obtain ILS and VOR information. The sam...

In the era of knowledge-based society and machine automation , there is a strong interest in machine learning (ML) techniques in a wide range of applications. The attention paid to ML methods within the DSP community is not new. Speech recognition is an example of an area where DSP and machine learning have been combined to develop efficient and robust speech recognizers. Channel equalization i...

High speed ADCs are used in a wide variety of real-time DSP signal-processing applications, replacing systems that used analog techniques alone. The major reason for using digital signal processing are (1) the cost of DSP processors has gone down, (2) their speed and computational power has increased, and (3) they are reprogrammable, thereby allowing for system performance upgrades without hard...

We present an automatic source-level transformer for DSP applications written in MATLAB. Our transformer is based on a novel approach to specify the transformations in an XML-based language resulting in a simple implementation of the transformer as a rewriting engine. In an earlier study we have identified transformations that pay off handsomely for DSP applications. This paper describes the d...

Marine biotoxin-contaminated seafood has caused thousands of poisonings worldwide this century. Given these threats, there is an increasing need for improved technologies that can be easily integrated into coastal monitoring programs. This study evaluates approaches for monitoring toxins associated with recurrent toxin-producing Alexandrium and Dinophysis blooms on Long Island, NY, USA, which c...
