In recent years, significant progress has been obtained in object detection using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). However, owing to the particularity of Remote Sensing Images (RSIs), common methods are not well suited for RSIs. Aiming at difficulties RSIs, this paper proposes an method based on Dense Feature Fusion Path Aggregation Network (DFF-PANet). Firstly, better improving performanc...

   One of the several promising new technologies for computing at nano-scale is quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA). In this paper, new designs for different QCA sequential circuits are presented. Using an efficient QCA D flip-flop (DFF) architecture, a 5-bit counter, a novel single edge generator (SEG) and a divide-by-2 counter are implemented. Also, some types of oscillators, a new edge-t...

Abstract Background and Aims International guidelines encourage the use of distal native fistula (AVF) which is best first-line vascular access (VA). But, despite these indications, all over world, except for Japan, prevalence upper arm (UAF) dramatically increasing. Previous surveys in our department included about 50% Haemodialysis patients (HP) showed UAFs less then 5%–very low, if compared ...

-The input feedforward path in a ΔΣ modulator is an attractive technique for low-distortion swing-reduction design. It helps lower the power dissipation, especially in ΔΣ modulators designed with low oversampling ratios (OSRs) in low-voltage nanometer CMOS technologies. However, a ΔΣ modulator with analog feedforward (AFF) requires an analog adder before the quantizer, which can limit the achie...

Previous research on functional hemispheric differences in visual processing has associated global perception with low spatial frequency (LSF) processing biases of the right hemisphere (RH) and local perception with high spatial frequency (HSF) processing biases of the left hemisphere (LH). The Double Filtering by Frequency (DFF) theory expanded this hypothesis by proposing that visual attentio...

We discuss quantum mechanics in the moduli space consisting of two maximally charged dilaton black holes. The quantum mechanics of the two black hole system is similar to the one of DFF model, and this system has the SL(2, R) conformal symmetry. Also, we discuss the bound states in this system. PACS number(s): 03.65.-w, 04.70.Dy Typeset using REVTEX ∗e-mail: [email protected] †e-ma...

The preparation of compounds interest from biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has attracted considerable attention. One such compound is 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), obtained through oxidation the hydroxyl group HMF. Herein, we describe for first time whole-cell HMF to DFF by Fusarium culmorum EAN 51. Although chemocatalytic transformation into been widely studied, biocatalytic processes...

Apoptosis plays an important pathophysiological role in the homeostasis of immune systems. DNA fragmentation factors (DFFs) have been shown to be essential for DNA fragmentation, and the resultant DNA fragments follow a laddering pattern during apoptosis in vertebrates. In invertebrates, the functions of the DFF orthologs are not well characterized; therefore, we cloned and characterized a biva...

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication of diabetes. Previous exposure to hyperglycemic conditions accelerates a decline in cellular function through metabolic memory despite normalization of glycemic control. Persistent, hyperglycemia-induced epigenetic patterns are considered a central mechanism that activates metabolic memory; however, this has not been investigated in patient...
