This paper describes a portable electronic nose based on embedded PC technology. The instrument combines a small footprint with the versatility offered by embedded technology in terms of software development and digital communications services. A summary of the proposed hardware and software solutions is provided with an emphasis on data processing. Data evaluation procedures available in the i...

introduction: radioactive materials deliver internal radiation dose to patients in nuclear medicine. manual internal radiation dose assessment is a complicated method. introduction of a simple dose calculation software is the main goal of the present study. methods: using the best current data in internal dose calculation (s-factors) recommended by icrp and by considering other technical metho...

Typical architectures for digital video broadcastingterrestrial (DVB-T) modulators are based on task-specific hardware to adapt the baseband audio/video signal to the radio frequency terrestrial channel. This paper describes the architecture of a fully-software, real-time modulator for DVB-T signals named Soft-DVB, which makes use of a software section developed from scratch by the authors and ...

pancreatic cancer (pc) is a progressive, fatal disease with a high degree of malignancy. more than 40000 peoplediefrom this cancer annually in the united states. as a multifactorial condition, pc has a complex nature, and there are several genes and signalingpathwaysimplicated in pc pathogenesis and progression. there are diffèrent mutations in master genesincludingtumorsuppressors and oncogene...

The usage of cost-efficient and dynamically adaptable commodity PC hardware instead of specialized networking hardware has aroused strong interest in software routers. Testbed measurements as well as modeling and simulations of such system are important methodologies for finding bottlenecks in the packet processing to predict and optimize the performance. In this paper, we investigate the impac...
