A new architecture for Golomb ruler derivation has been developed, and a FPGA-based custom compute engine of the new architecture has been fully designed. The new FCCM, called GE1, is presented in terms of its datapath, and control path. Portions of the GE1 have been implemented to verify functional correctness and accuracy of the simulation results. The new machine requires twenty Xilinx 5000 ...

PURPOSE To describe the use of a ruler to increase the accuracy and customization of Lester Jones tube placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a review of 92 patients who underwent minimally invasive conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy using this instrument. RESULTS The success rate was 100%, with an average operating time of 15 minutes. In nine patients, late migration of the Jones tube int...

A Ruler Array measures the distance between a set of microarray probes and a set of experimentally defined locations in a nucleic acid, offering new possibilities for locating and characterizing changes in the nucleic acid sequence. Despite the known relevance of genomic changes to pathogens, cancer, development, and evolution, many of these changes evade detection by existing high-throughput t...

FrACT unfortunately has too often been used without calibration. Thus from version 3.2 onwards a strong warning message appears on every start unless you have changed both the observer distance entry and the length of the blue calibration ruler (see preceding paragraph). Both are defaulted to numbers that are unlikely to occur in practice (399 cm and 169 mm). As long as one of these remains at ...

The paper inspects the individual's personality concerning self, Crowd Ruler, members, and surrounding setting. It creatively examines cause conditions of why individuals make a phycological crowd around Ruler. larger Crowd, more individual vanishes within outwardly. in alters himself into narcissist and, simultaneously, sentinel toward others. His ego is above everything, so he wants to be Rul...

We present the optical response of two interacting metallic nanowires calculated for separation distances down to angstrom range. State-of-the-art local and nonlocal approaches are compared with full quantum time-dependent density functional theory calculations that give an exact account of nonlocal and tunneling effects. We find that the quantum results are equivalent to those from classical a...

Objective: To present a geometric ruler to determine predictive values of binary diagnostic test results from prevalence, sensitivity and specificity without calculation. Methods: On logarithmic scale the relationships between pre-/post-test odds and the likelihood ratio as well as sensitivity, speci ficity and the likelihood ratio appear as simple linear (additive) equations. Results: Each of ...

Plasmon rulers, consisting of pairs of gold nanoparticles, allow single-molecule analysis without photobleaching or blinking; however, current plasmon rulers are irreversible, restricting detection to only single events. Here, we present a reversible plasmon ruler, comprised of coupled gold nanoparticles linked by a single aptamer, capable of binding individual secreted molecules with high spec...
