Part of molecular and phenotypic differences between individual cells, between body parts, or between individuals can result from biological noise. This source of variation is becoming more and more apparent thanks to the recent advances in dynamic imaging and single-cell analysis. Some of these studies showed that the link between genotype and phenotype is not strictly deterministic. Mutations...

levels of circuit functionality in chips designed for compact consumer electronic products and the widespread growth of wireless communications have triggered the proliferation of mixed analogdigital systems. Single-chip designs combining digital and analog blocks built over a common substrate feature reduced levels of power dissipation, smaller package counts, and smaller package interconnect ...

A 2 × terahertz photoconductive antenna (PCA) array detector with high efficiency synthesis characteristic that improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of detected signals has been reported in this paper. By processing substrate material through a special micromachining process, current signal generated by adjacent elements as opposed to gap is eliminated. Experiments show amplitude output PCA...

In this work, we study a series of tunable flux qubits inductively coupled to coplanar waveguide resonator fabricated on sapphire substrate. Each qubit includes an asymmetric superconducting quantum interference device which is controlled by the application external magnetic field and acts as Josephson junction. The tunability typically $\pm 3.5$ GHz around their central gap frequency. measured...

background and aim: speech understanding almost never occurs in silence. verbal communication often occurs in environments where multiple speakers are talking. in such environments, babbling noise masks speech comprehension. consonants, in comparison to vowels, are more sensitive to noise masking. consonants provide most acoustic information needed for comprehending the meaning of the word. sin...

conclusions according to the results of the present study, aerobic exercise at moderate intensity and proper time can be considered as a special treatment to prevent diabetes complications and related disorders, particularly obesity. objectives this study aimed to determine whether in patients with type 2 diabetes, substrate oxidation and energy expenditure were affected by the type of intensit...

The effects of fluorination on amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistors and circuits fabricated a polyimide flexible substrate were studied. Attributed to more effective passivation donor defects for given thermal budget, resulted in suppressed apparent short-channel better uniformity turn-on voltage with reduced negative shift after laser lift-off from glass carrier substrate....

background: noise pollution can contribute to adverse health effects in humans. noise annoyance and related problems, caused by noise emission during the progress of building construction, have become increasingly important. these problems can influence the exposed workers, as well as vicinity residents. the goal of the present study was to assess the noise annoyance due to noise from construct...
