A SiGe HMOSFET can be engineered to provide enhanced linearity in its output current-voltage characteristics. The additional linearity can be exploited in the design of more linear analogue circuits like the differential pair presented here. From the TCAD data of such a structure, the BSIM3v3 model of the transistor was extracted and simulation results were obtained for the performance of a dif...

PURPOSE To evaluate the variability of true-positive and false-positive cues by using a commercially available computer-aided detection (CAD) system for analysis of 50 malignancies in a screening population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty breast cancers detected at screening were analyzed by using a commercially available CAD system. Mean patient age was 62.2 years. Each set of mammograms (crani...

In this paper we will discuss the development and use of a CAD based robot path and process-planning environment for surface finishing of conventional (metal) and nonconventional material (fiberglass composites) workpieces. This system is based on a modular and parametric approach process modeling for experimentation in determining “optimum” process parameters. It can operate upon workpieces of...

PURPOSE To study the ability of a computer-aided detection (CAD) system to detect lung cancer overlooked at initial interpretation by the radiologist. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board approval was given for this study. Patient consent was not required; a HIPAA waiver was granted because of the retrospective nature of the data collection. In patients with lung cancer diagnosed ...

since long term dietary fatty acide intake is reflected in the fatty acide composition of  Adipose tissue, this study was aimed to compare the adippose tissue fatty acide profile of angiography documented CAD (test)and non-CAD(control)  patients.the first group were 25 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery in open heart surgery section of Shahid Beheshti hospital of Kerman...

To evaluate the role of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a] in patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD), lipid parameters were compared with a control group (CO). Additionally, the Lp(a) serum levels were investigated in a coronary artery disease (CAD) group. The CO was made up of 37 healthy persons (age: 54.5 +/- 7.7, 26 males and 11 females), the CVD group included 46 patients with sustained transient i...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate mortality and readmission rates of heart failure (HF) patients after major noncardiac surgery. BACKGROUND There is a lack of generalizable outcome data on HF patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery because previous studies have been limited to a few academic centers or have not focused on this group of patients. METHODS Using the 199...
