GLUTRAN (glucose tracer analysis) is a collection of Matlab functions for the calculation of glucose fluxes in non-steady state from tracer data. GLUTRAN is based on the circulatory model for glucose kinetics described by Mari et al. (1; 2). Each function of the toolbox performs a specific task in the analysis of the tracer data; the collection of these functions allows the user to solve a vari...

Matlab is a popular dynamic array-based language commonly used by students, scientists and engineers, who appreciate the interactive development style, the rich set of array operators, the extensive builtin library, and the fact that they do not have to declare static types. Even though these users like to program in Matlab, their computations are often very computeintensive and are potentially...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is becoming the chosen modulation technique for wireless communications. OFDM can provide large data rates with sufficient robustness to radio channel impairments. Many research centers in the world have specialized teams working in the optimization of OFDM for countless applications. Here, at the Georgia Institute of Technology, one of such tea...

MATLAB is one of the most widely used languages in technical computing. Computational scientists and engineers in many areas use MATLAB to rapidly prototype and test computational algorithms because of the scripting language, integrated user interface and extensive support for numerical libraries and toolboxes. In the areas of signal and image processing, MATLAB can be regarded as the de facto ...

In this contribution we describe the use and implementation of a new tool allowing the joint simulation of MATLAB and COSSAP 1 routines. In order to achieve this, the MATLAB simulation process is controlled from COSSAP via named pipes. Our tool provides the user with automatic and exible interface generation. Any MATLAB function can be mapped on a COSSAP module. Some application examples discus...

A visit to the neighborhood PC retail store provides ample proof that we are in the multi-core era. The key differentiator among manufacturers today is the number of cores that they pack onto a single chip. The clock frequency of commodity processors has reached its limit, however, and is likely to stay below 4 GHz for years to come. As a result, adding cores is not synonymous with increasing c...

Creating, editing, and generating images in a very regular system today is a major priority. The original image data generated by the camera sensor is very large to store, so the efficiency is not high. Mobile or bandwidthlimited systems become particularly cumbersome, where the object is a conservative bandwidth cost, such as the World Wide Web. This situation requires the use of efficient ima...

Embedding a hidden stream of bits in a file is called Digital Watermarking. The file could be an image, audio, video or text. Nowadays, digital watermarking has many applications such as broadcast monitoring, owner identification, proof of ownership, transaction tracking, content authentication, copy control, device control, and file reconstruction (Cox et. al., 2008). In literature, the host f...
