An 11-bit 10 MS/s successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is proposed for low-power and small-area applications. A 10-bit differential capacitor–resistor (C–R) digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is used to...
Leading-edge analog/mixed-signal LSI designs are still hand-crafted using graphic editors. These graphic editors do not include functionality for parameterized topologies in variable designs. Instead of graphic editors, we have developed the SWA (Sof...
The Lanzhou Heavy Ion Research Facility (LIRF) is the largest heavy ion research facility in China, providing a substantial volume of experimental data for fundamental research in nuclear physics. The Topmetal-CEE is a pixel readout chip specifically...
A fully differential multipath current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) for a resistive bridge sensor readout integrated circuit (IC) is proposed. To reduce the CFIA’s own offset and 1/f noise, a chopper stabilization technique is impl...
This paper presents a significant contribution to high-fidelity audio technology through the comprehensive design and implementation of an advanced audio-grade preamplifier integrated with a high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The ver...
The data converters’ nonlinearity, which is mainly caused by random mismatch, reflects the performance deviation between the actual realization and an ideal situation. The interpretation of the numerical relationship between the nonlinearity and matc...
This paper presents a three-segment interpolating Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) that employs a redundancy-based interpolation scheme and digital calibration to enhance linearity. The proposed architecture consists of a Most Significant Bit (MSB)...
Occurrence of cisplatin-resistance in bladder cancer is frequent and results in disease progression. Thus, novel therapeutic approaches are a high medical need for patients suffering from chemotherapy failure. The purpose of this study was to test th...
Daclizumab (DAC) is a humanized, monoclonal antibody that blocks CD25, a critical element of the high-affinity interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R). DAC HYP blockade of CD25 inhibits effector T cell activation, regulatory T cell expansion and survival, and...
Nitrogen fertilization is a challenging task that usually requires intensive use of resources, such as fertilizers, management and water. This study explored the potential of VIS-NIR-SWIR remote sensing for quantifying leaf nitrogen content (LNC) in...
Three AML cell variants (M/A, M/A* from MOLM-13 and S/A from SKM-1) were established for resistance by the same protocol using 5-azacytidine (AZA) as a selection agent. These AZA-resistant variants differ in their responses to other cytosine nucleosi...
In this paper, we proposed an area-efficient 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with buffer-reusing method to dramatically relief the severe area exploding issue in high-definition active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) driver inte...
A highly reconfigurable open-loop analog baseband circuitry with programmable gain, bandwidth and filter order are proposed for integrated linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar receivers in this paper. This analog baseband chain al...
AC power cables play an important role in power systems, in the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. For this reason, to ensure high operational reliability, voltage withstand tests and diagnostic tests are performed at every stage of...
Fraser’s photinia ‘Red Robin’ (Photinia x fraseri Dress, Rosaceae family) is an important primary ornamental landscaping species with optimal hedge or screen effects and low maintenance, but it is difficult to root when pr...
This article presents an automatic digital unbalanced impedance bridge for comparing two-port impedances: R-R, R-C and C-C. The bridge consists of a two-channel digital source of voltage sinusoidal waveforms supplying the bridge arms and a three-chan...

Food aversions in women undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer may be linked to oxidative stress and gastrointestinal consequences underlying it, and diet possibly plays a role in this association. This follow-up study included 73 women w...
A light pipe is an excellent solution to transport and distribute daylight into environments without or with little lighting, guaranteeing comfort inside the rooms. As stated in the literature, the evaluation of the performances of light pipes presen...
This research introduces the design, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of a novel 2-channel, multi-functional therapeutic electrical stimulator, meticulously engineered to meet the stringent demands of contemporary clinical applications. The de...
Leucinostatins are antimicrobial peptides with a broad range of activities against infectious agents as well as mammalian cells. The leucinostatin-derivative peptide ZHAWOC_6027 (peptide 6027) was tested in vitro and in vivo for activity against the...
Air flow measurements provide significant information required for understanding the characteristics of insect movement. This study proposes a four-channel low-noise readout integrated circuit (IC) in order to measure air flow (air velocity), which c...
Gadolinium aluminate perovskite (GdAlO3) was studied at high pressures of up to 23 GPa in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) using monochromatic synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. Evidence of a pressure-induced phase transformation from orthorhombic (Pbnm...
With the rapid development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology, more and more UAVs have been used in forest survey. UAV (RGB) images are the most widely used UAV data source in forest resource management. However, there is some uncertainty as...
Switchgrass is a promising feedstock for biofuel production, with potential for leveraging its native microbial community to increase productivity and resilience to environmental stress. Here, we characterized the bacterial, archaeal and fungal diver...
