A bitrate of about 270 Mbit/s is needed to transmit uncompressed digital video that accords with ITU-R Rec. BT. 601 (i.e. standard-definition television). Digital HDTV, on the other hand, needs a considerably greater bitrate and – regardless of the modulation scheme adopted – transmission via traditional broadcast channels is impossible without the application of advanced video compression tech...

We report for the first time mecC-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (mecC-MRSA) in livestock in Spain. One isolate (sequence type 130) was found in milk samples among 601 S. aureus isolates obtained from 229 dairy sheep farms. This finding highlights the potential for zoonotic transmission of mecC-positive MRSA and the need for surveillance programs to monitor its presence an...

A new process for automating the creation of FullBehavioral (FBM) and Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) models in VHDL for complex processors and components is described, with results from the automation of a PowerPC 601 described in some detail. A number of advantages to this approach are described together with its impact on the hardware/software codesign and system prototyping processes.

The 6-h plasma profiles of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH), and GH were studied in 17 dogs with pituitarydependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) before and after hypophysectomy. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between the hormone profile characteristics and recurrence of PDH after surgery. The hormones were secreted in a p...
