This paper presents a novel methodology of simulation and realization of a various Op-amp topologies, such as two-stage, telescopic and folded cascade are discussed in this paper. The aim of the present work is the development of a tool box which contains the Matlab code to allow automated synthesis of Analog circuits. This tool box is used to find the transistor dimensions (i.e.., width and le...

The NASA Astrophysics Data System in conjunction with the Wolbach Library at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics is working on a project to microfilm historical observatory publications. The microfilm is then scanned for inclusion in the ADS. The ADS currently contains over 700,000 scanned pages of volumes of historical literature. Many of these volumes lack clear pagination or othe...

Hippocampal segmentation accuracy of out-of-the-box software tools (FreeSurfer, AHEAD, BrainParser) is analysed wrt. potential variability in populations with different pathologies. Findings confirm variabilities wrt. different pathologies but also human rater ground truth and single pathologies exhibit significant variability as well.

Modern challenges of food science require a new understanding of the determinants of food quality and safety. Application of advanced imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has seen impressive successes and fast growth over the past decade. Since MRI does not have any harmful ionizing radiation, it can be considered as a magnificent tool for the quality control of food prod...

in his paper the effect of ribbing in bending and tortional resisance of the box type structure is discussed . for satisfactory design of press structures . the stiffness characteristics of individual components are recognised to be of primary importance. heavy press stucures are normaly constructed in double-sided form . because of transportation and handing problems , these frames are usually...

Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is quite effective for a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, the performance of SLS depends on several factors and getting it right is not trivial. In practice, SLS may have to be carefully designed and tuned to give good results. Often this is done in an ad-hoc fashion. One approach to this issue is black-box where a tuning algorithm i...

We present a CASE-tool integration strategy based on enveloping pre-existing tools without source access or assuming an API or any other special capabilities on the part of the tool. This Black Box enveloping (or wrapping) idea has been around for a long time, but was previously restricted to relatively simple tools such as compilers. We describe the design and implementation of a new Black Box...

osteomyelitis in childhood can be a challenging diagnosis. imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in children, and the imaging findings are crucial in the treatment decision. pediatric hematogenous osteomyelitis may have variable radiological expression, which is influenced by the age and condition of the patient, the virulence of the causative agent, the stage of the...

This study used a diffusion chain paradigm to explore the cultural transmission of causally irrelevant tool actions in chains of adult participants. Each chain witnessed an "expert" adult retrieve a reward from inside a puzzle box using a combination of causally relevant actions and causally irrelevant actions. Which of the actions were causally relevant was evident in two of the chains where a...

Austenitic stainless steels (AISI316) are used for many commercial and industrial applications for their excellent corrosive resistance. AISI316 is generally difficult to machine material due to their high strength and high work hardening tendency. Tool wear (TW) and surface roughness (SR) are broadly considered the most challenging phases causing poor quality in machining. Optimization of cutt...
