This study examines the factor structure underlying the Anxiety Sensitivity Index for Children (ASIC. J Anxiety Disord, 12 (1998) 307) in an adolescent sample. Three-hundred-and-eight adolescents, aged 12 to 18, completed the ASIC and measures of anxiety and depression. Factor analysis of the ASIC items resulted in a two-factor structure that is similar to that reported by Laurent et al. These ...

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) extensively exist in both central and peripheral neuronal systems and contribute to many physiological and pathological processes. The protein that interacts with C kinase 1 (PICK1) was cloned as one of the proteins interacting with protein kinase C (PKC) and colocalized with ASIC1 and ASIC2. Here, we used PICK1 knockout (PICK1-KO) C57/BL6 mice together with th...

Fast Analog Signal Processor FASP-0.1 [1, 2] is a prototype ASIC designed at NIPNE for HCR-TRD having in mind the CBM experiment at FAIR. In this contribution we report on relevant measured parameters of ASIC analog channels and a FEE based on FASP, designed and built for in-beam tests of our HCR-TRD prototypes [3]. ASIC measured parameters [4, 5] Quiescent supply current (VD = 3.3V): 30mA ±1mA...

This paper proposes an ASIC CMOS for sliding mode control (direct power one) applied to switched reluctance aerogenerators. The topology of the circuit is designed in order to carry out, in the most optimal way, the mathematical function which processing directly the power error and supply the turn-off angle to the power system converter. The specifications and simulation performance are in clo...

Abstract A front end and trigger circuit was developed at GSI which is foreseen to be used in a transient recording read out ASIC. It consists of an input buffer with configurable low pass characteristics could operated as leading edge discriminator well switched capacitor sensitive the first derivative signal. The produced on test ASIC characterisation results will presented.

A 0.25μm CMOS serializer ASIC, designed using radiation tolerant layout practice, was exposed to proton beam at various flux levels and accumulated fluence over 1.9×10 protons/cm (100 Mrad (Si)). The ASIC survived this total ionizing dose (TID) with no degradation in function. Single event effect (SEE) cross-sections are also calculated.

Reflex cardiovascular responses to muscle contraction are mediated by mechanical and metabolic stimulation of thin muscle afferent fibers. Metabolic stimulants and receptors involved in responses are uncertain. Capsaicin depolarizes thin sensory afferent nerves that have vanilloid type 1 receptors (VR1). Among potential endogenous ligands of thin fibers, H+ has been suggested as a metabolite me...

Subjects such as ASIC and CAD require a significant amount of training time. The application of Computer Based Learning (CBL) technologies in these case leads to a reduced workload on teaching staff, allows students to study remotely and in time, convenient for them. Considering all that, a WWW based CBL system for ASIC design training was developed, The paper presents the content and the layou...

We have designed and fabricated a compact array-based optical engine for transmitting data at 10 Gb/s. The device consists of a 4-channel ASIC driving a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) array in an optical package. The ASIC is designed using only core transistors in a 65 nm CMOS process to enhance the radiation-hardness. The ASIC contains an 8-bit DAC to control the bias and modul...
