| We present a technique for low power realization of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) lters implemented using Distributed Arithmetic. In most applications, the distribution pro le of input data values is known. The proposed technique uses a data encoding which can be tuned to the speci c distribution pro le so as to reduce toggles in the shift register chain. We present a generic Nega-Binary codi...

Although the literature claims that shift work is harmful, it overlooks the fact that that many shift workers are satisfied and stay healthy. There is little knowledge of the biological mechanisms mediating the differences in susceptibility. The present study compared satisfied and dissatisfied shift workers with respect to major anabolic and catabolic hormones. Forty-two male shift workers, wi...

This study performs analytical investigation of how accurately three existing phase shift models describe the phase shift impulse response of a simple planar oscillator. The investigation finds that Kaertner’s model perfectly describes the behavior of the phase shift impulse response, whereas the projection-based ISF, and the perturbation projection-based model oversimplify it to its initial, a...

Background: Teucrium polium has been known as an important traditional medicinal plant and is used for different therapeutic purposes such as gastrointestinal disorders. Therefore, the anti-spasmodic and antinociceptive activities of aqueous extract of Teucrium polium w as examined. Methods: Anti-spasmodic effect of different concentrations (47-470 mg/l) of Teucrium polium extract was assessed ...
