Normal dentin mineralization requires two highly acidic proteins, dentin sialoprotein (DSP) and phosphophoryn (PP). DSP and PP are synthesized as part of a single secreted precursor, DSP-PP, which is conserved in marsupial and placental mammals. Using a baculovirus expression system, we previously found that DSP-PP is accurately cleaved into DSP and PP after secretion into medium by an endogeno...

BACKGROUND A proportion of deliberate self-poisoning (DSP) patients present repeatedly to the emergency department (ED). Understanding the characteristics of frequent DSP patients and their presentation is a first step to implementing interventions that are designed to prevent repeated self-poisoning. METHODS All DSP presentations to three networked Australian ED's were retrospectively identi...

A digital signal processor (DSP), which is a special-purpose microprocessor, is designed to achieve higher performance on DSP applications. Because most DSP applications contain many nested loops and permit a very high degree of parallelism, the DSP multiprocessor has a suitable architecture to execute these applications. Unfortunately, conventional scheduling methods used on DSP multiprocessor...

This paper presents a comparison of statisticallyderived power prediction models at the algorithmic, instruction, and architectural levels for embedded high performance DSP processors. The approach is general enough to be applied to any embedded DSP processor. Results from 168 power measurements of DSP code show that power can be predicted at instruction and architecture levels with less than 2...

Introduction Digital Signal Processing (DSP) affords greater flexibility, higher performance (in terms of attenuation and selectivity), better time and environment stability and lower equipment production costs than traditional analog techniques. Additionally, more and more microprocessor circuitry is being displaced with costeffective DSP techniques and products; an example of this is the emer...

Myxococcus xanthus dsp and dif mutants have similar phenotypes in that they are deficient in social motility and fruiting body development. We compared the two loci by genetic mapping, complementation with a cosmid clone, DNA sequencing, and gene disruption and found that 16 of the 18 dsp alleles map to the dif genes. Another dsp allele contains a mutation in the sglK gene. About 36.6 kb around...

The use of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in electronic products is increasing at a phenomenal rate. FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), with their multi-million equivalent gate counts and DSP-centric features can offer dramatic performance increases over standard DSP chips. They also offer an attractive alternative for small and medium volume production FPGAs also make very powerful protot...

-In this paper we have emphasized on alternative uses of Cellular Automata (CA) in Digital Signal Processing (DSP). The corollary of the distinction is centered on the parallel nature for both of the processors. For digital signal processing, parallelism has been focused with reference to hardware parallelism as well as software parallelism. Major issues for DSP implementation i.e. sampling, su...
