A 10-Gb/s phase-locked clock and data recovery circuit incorporates an interpolating voltage-controlled oscillator and a half-rate phase detector. The phase detector provides a linear characteristic while retiming and demultiplexing the data with no systematic phase offset. Fabricated in a 0.18m CMOS technology in an area of 1 1 0 9 mm, the circuit exhibits an RMS jitter of 1 ps, a peak-to-peak...

background: this study was designed to investigate the accuracy of dobutamine stress echocardiography (dse) in detecting the post-revascularization recovery rate of contractile reserve (cr) in ischemic myocardium. methods: a total of 112 segments from seven patients with low ejection fraction (<35%) and coronary artery disease were evaluated with dse one week before and 12 weeks after coronary ...

BACKGROUND Both an impaired capacity to increase heart rate during exercise testing (chronotropic incompetence), and a slowed rate of recovery following exercise (heart rate recovery) have been shown to be associated with all-cause mortality. It is, however, unknown which of these responses more powerfully predicts risk, and few data are available on their association with cardiovascular mortal...

A half-rate reference-less clock and data recovery circuit is proposed, incorporating a coarse frequency-locked loop and a fine phase-locked loop with smooth switching to prevent adverse interaction and false locking. Fabricated in a 0.18-μm CMOS process, the recovered clock exhibits a peak-topeak jitter of 60ps for a 2-Gb/s PRBS-7 data and a phase noise of –93.5 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. The cor...

A node-exhaustion-safe intrusion-tolerant distributed system is a system that assuredly does not suffer more than the assumed number of node failures. In a recent work, we showed that it is not possible to build any type of nodeexhaustion-safe distributed f intrusion-tolerant system under the asynchronous model. Some years ago, an intuition about this problem motivated the research around proac...

this study investigated whether age and gender influenced blood pressure recovery after exhaustive exercise in non-athletic males and females. 60 healthy (blood pressure was especially considered) men and women with no drug and supplement consumption participated in this study and were divided into six groups: 20-30 yr (10 males), 20-30 yr (10 females), 30-40 yr (10 males), 30-40 yr (10 females...

This study aims to analyze the effect of differences resulting from combination HIIT with recovery models in active and passive forms on quality VO2max monitoring heart-rate recovery. was designed using a quasi-experimental design, 30 participants participated voluntarily which further divided into three groups: HIIT-PP experiment (n:10; Age: 21.0±0.82; Weight: 67.2±13.6; Height: 1.68±0.07), (n...

conclusions the results clarified a deep perception of participants’ experiences after disaster. the path of life recovery after disasters involves participants’ striving to achieve a comprehensive health recovery, which starts with the need for all-inclusive health recovery as a main concern; this is the motivator for a responding strategy. this strategy is participatory, and the process is pr...
