New communication standards and high channel aggregation system requirements are pushing Digital Signal Processing (DSP) system performance requirements beyond the capabilities of digital signal processors. Altera’s new Stratix field-programmable gate array (FPGA) family includes embedded DSP block multipliers and large numbers of shallow memories with huge I/O bandwidth, making them an excelle...

J-DSP-C is a java-based object-oriented programming environment that was developed at Arizona State University for use in control systems education. This environment enables the simulation of dynamical systems on-line from any computer system equipped with an Internet browser. The J-DSP-C features are primarily aimed to provide an on-line laboratory experience to distance learning students. Com...

There is an industry trend in the development of single board computers based on DSPmicroprocessors. These microprocessors have specialized instruction sets that are optimized for DSP operations and architectures that are tuned for DSP program control. They also provide the structure necessary to support operating system functions. They are being used to supplement processing in PC and workstat...

OBJECTIVE Dopamine supersensitivity psychosis (DSP) is considered to be one cause of treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). The authors investigated the efficacy of risperidone long-acting injections (RLAI) in patients with TRS and DSP. METHOD This is a multicenter, prospective, 12-month follow-up, observational study that included unstable and severe TRS patients with and without DSP. 115 ...

Dentin sialoprotein (DSP) and dentin phosphoprotein (DPP; phosphophoryn) are two principal dentin-specific non-collagenous proteins. DPP is extremely acidic and is rich in aspartic acid and serine. By virtue of this structure, DPP may bind large amounts of calcium and may facilitate initial mineralization of dentin matrix collagen as well as regulate the size and shape of the crystals. The func...

Bone and dentin are mineralized extracellular matrices produced by osteoblasts and odontoblasts, respectively, and their major organic portion is type I collagen. Dentinogenesis Imperfecta (DGI) is one of the most common clinically- and genetically-based disturbances of dentin formation, causing irreversible dentin defects. Among several types of DGI, patients with DGI type II exhibit opalescen...

OBJECTIVE Diabetic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy (DSP) is the most prevalent complication in diabetes mellitus. Identifying DSP risk is essential for intervening early in the natural history of the disease. Small nerve fibers are affected earliest in the disease progression and evidence of this damage can be identified using in vivo corneal confocal microscopy (IVCCM). RESEARCH DESIGN AN...

The object oriented software design paradigm has been instrumental in the development of the Adoptics software used in the Hooker telescope’s ADOPT adaptive optics system 2, . The software runs on a Pentium-class PC host and eight DSP processors connected to the host’s motherboard bus. C++ classes were created to implement most of the host software’s functionality, with the object oriented feat...

Disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP) is a specific disorder of keratinization. Genetic studies show that DSP is an autosomal dominant trait. Clinically, the lesions show a sharply demarcated and hyperkeratotic plaque with central atrophy. The lesions appear mainly in the extremities and generally develop with bilateral symmetry. Unusual cases of DSP accompanied by severe pruritus have b...
