| A new current-mode, low-power, lowvoltage and high-speed CMOS sample-and-hold circuit has been designed and fabricated. A new currentmode di erential switching scheme has been adopted to eliminate errors caused by feedthrough injection from the sample switches. The experimental result yields 9-bit resolution in 9mW power dissipation, in a 20MHz clock frequency from a 3V power supply.

Particle-In-Cell (PIC) schemes are ones of the most broadly used numerical methods in kinetic simulation plasmas. The contribution present paper is dedicated to introduction novel parallelization strategies specific shared memory architectures tailored for implementing sparse grid reconstructions. These operate different parallelisms genuine Sparse-PIC obtain speed-up exceeding 100 on 128 cores...

The tempering response of CPM® 3V tool steel was investigated via a hardening and heat treatment, tensile testing, fractography, microstructural evaluation. is manufactured using Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM®), proprietary high-density sintering technique developed by Industries. treatments were applied to ASTM E8 standard test specimens. Tempering temperature the experimental variable. fo...

Systemic treatment with dexfenfluramine (dF), fluoxetine, or serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) recently was shown to suppress fat and occasionally protein but not carbohydrate intake in rats when a macronutrient selection paradigm was employed. These reports contrast with the prevailing literature, which for the past decade has described a role for serotonin neurotransmission in the modific...

BackgroundThe ‘long shadow’ of childhood bullying can extend beyond immediate adverse mental health and educational outcomes well into adulthood, with associated long-term social care costs. Reducing is therefore a public priority. KiVa, school-based anti-bullying programme, effective in reducing schools Finland currently being tested the UK through large-scale Stand Together trial. MethodsThe ...
