The phase-dependent plasticity of carotid chemoafferent signaling was studied with electrical stimulation of a carotid sinus nerve during either inspiration or expiration in anesthetized, glomectomized, vagotomized, paralyzed, and ventilated rats. Stroboscopic and interferometric analyses of the resulting phase-contrast disturbances of the respiratory rhythm revealed that carotid chemoafferent ...

We examine a new 2nd order integrator recently found by Omelyan et al. The integration error of the new integrator measured in the root mean square of the energy difference, 〈∆H2〉1/2, is about 10 times smaller than that of the standard 2nd order leapfrog (2LF) integrator. As a result, the step size of the new integrator can be made about three times larger. Taking into account a factor 2 increa...

UNLABELLED Two new tools on the UCSC Genome Browser web site provide improved ways of combining information from multiple datasets, optionally including the user's own custom track data and/or data from track hubs. The Data Integrator combines columns from multiple data tracks, showing all items from the first track along with overlapping items from the other tracks. The Variant Annotation Inte...

All living organisms depend on dynamic mechanisms that repeatedly reassess the status of amassed energy, in order to adapt energy supply to demand. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) alphabetagamma heterotrimer has emerged as an important integrator of signals managing energy balance. Control of AMPK activity involves allosteric AMP and ATP regulation, auto-inhibitory features and phosphor...

This paper implements 80x64 array high sensitive fingerprint sensor with the parasitic insensitive charge transfer circuit. The fingerprint sensor cell uses an active output voltage feedback integrator. The parasitic insensitive charge transfer circuit includes a differential amplifier and two switches to remove parasitic capacitance and transfer charge. The operation is validated by HSPICE for...

Assessment of performance in tracking set-point changes for single loop systems is presented. In contrast to the works that used stochastic performances, the current assessment uses a deterministic performance measure, i.e. the integration of absolute tracking errors (abbr. IAE). A benchmark system that has an open loop transfer function (abbr. OLTF) comprised of one LHP zero, one integrator, a...

In this paper, we propose a new iterative algorithm to solve the blind deconvolution problem of MIMO-FIR channels driven by source signals which are temporally second-order uncorrelated but fourth-order correlated and spatially secondand fourth-order uncorrelated. To achieve our goal, we extend the super-exponential deflation algorithm proposed by Inouye and Tanebe [2] to the case of the blind ...

A low power switched-capacitor (SC) integrator based on a capacitive charge-pump (CP) is proposed. The CP integrator circuit consumes approximately a quarter of the power of a conventional SC integrator while maintaining the same thermal noise performance. Power consumption of the CP integrator is analysed and compared with a conventional parasitic-insensitive integrator. Simulation results ver...

We examine a new second-order integrator recently found by Omelyan et al. The integration error of the new integrator measured in the root mean square of the energy difference, 1/2, is about 10 times smaller than that of the standard second-order leapfrog (2LF) integrator. As a result, the step size of the new integrator can be made about three times larger. Taking into account a facto...

In this paper, frequency-domain analysis based on frequency sweep method is presented for a nonlinear double integrator and a new linear integrator. All the two types of integrators can estimate the onefold and double integrals of a signal synchronously. With respect to the linear double integrator, the nonlinear integrator has better estimation performance and stronger robustness. Importantly,...
