This paper presents a way to enhance the Differential Current-Switch Threshold Logic gate (DCSTL) in order to allow the gate to perform more complex functions. This enhancement is achieved by replacing the MOS-transistors at the dataand threshold mapping bank of the DCSTL gate with neuronMOS transisors. First, we introduce the neuronMOS-enhanced DCSTL gate. Then, the results of HSPICE simulatio...

The aim of this study is to examine the nonlinear effects of fiscal and monetary policies on inflation during 1990:3 to 2013:1 based on threshold model. First lag of the liquidity growth is recognized as threshold variable with threshold value estimated at 6.37 percent. In low liquidity growth, the results indicate that inflation expectations and the lagged liquidity growth are the most importa...

Spiking in central neurons depends on the availability of inward and outward currents activated by depolarization and on the activation and priming of currents by hyperpolarization. Of these processes, priming by hyperpolarization is the least described. In the case of T-type Ca2+ current availability, the interplay of hyperpolarization and depolarization has been studied most completely in exp...

The top quark-antiquark pair threshold production at future High Energy Photon Colliders is considered in view of the recent advances in the theoretical description of the nonrelativistic heavy quark dynamics.

BACKGROUND It is important to determine which tests of sensorineural dysfunction identify the neurological damage from hand-arm vibration exposure. AIMS To examine the association between the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) Stockholm sensorineural scale stages and tests of peripheral neurological function including measurement of current perception threshold (CPT) and nerve conduction. M...

A simple and novel design for a current comparator is proposed. The proposed current comparator utilizes the concept of adjustment of switching threshold voltage of an inverter employed in the circuit design to develop a reference current for the purpose of current comparison. The proposed circuit was simulated using 0.18 μm TSMC CMOS technology and satisfactory results were obtained.

We examined the current stimulus threshold in rats with the Neurometer, a device used clinically for measuring perception and pain thresholds. Although many studies have indicated the usefulness of this device in the quantification of nerve dysfunction in patients, we have found no published reports on the use of the Neurometer in animals. Transcutaneous nerve stimuli of the three sine-wave pul...
