This study presents a single-core and a multi-core processor architecture for health monitoring systems where slow biosignal events and highly parallel computations exist. The single-core architecture is composed of a processing core (PC), an instruction memory (IM) and a data memory (DM), while the multi-core architecture consists of PCs, individual IMs for each core, a shared DM and an interc...

this article present the result from a study of two sediment cores collected from theenvironmentally distinct zones of ces. accumulation status of five toxic metals: cadmium (cd), chromium(cr), cobalt (co), copper (cu) and lead (pb) were analyzed. besides texture and chns were determined tounderstand the composition of the sediment. enrichment factor (ef) and anthropogenic factor (af) wereused ...

the core sediment samples were analysed for grain size, carbonates (caco3), organic carbon (oc) to obtain a preliminary view of its environmental conditions near point calimere along the southeast coast of vedaranyam, india.the high concentration of sand in the core is attributed to the tidal influence at the akkarapallivasal river mouth. the sea water which enters the river suspends the floccu...

this research paper lays stress on philosophies of human desire. all the human being has some psychical need in addition to physical needs. and to satisfy the psychical needs, there is a need for stimulants, more in case of exclusive pedestrian precincts. having exclusively pedestrian precincts/cores in city design draws its inspiration from the fact that public zones, accessible to majority of...

objective(s): this paper describes coating of magnetite nanoparticles (mnps) with amorphous silica shells.   materials and methods: first, magnetite (fe3o4) nps were synthesized by co-precipitation method and then treated with stabilizer molecule of trisodium citrate to enhance their dispersibility. afterwards, coating with silica was carried out via a sol-gel approach in which the electrostati...

in this work, hierarchical wo3 core-shell microspheres were synthesized via a facile template-free precipitation method. gas sensing properties of the synthesized powder to acetone and some other volatile organic compounds were comparatively investigated with commercial wo3 nanoparticles. the synthesized and commercial powders were characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscop...

the photocatalytic coatings were prepared via incorporating the modified titania nanoparticles into epoxy-based inorganic-organic hybrid coatings. titania nanoparticles were first synthesized from tetra-n-butyl titanate using sol-gel methods by two different calcination treatments, i.e., in mild condition (80°c) and 500°c. the formed anatase nanoparticles were further modified as titania-silica...

background: this study aimed to compare the effects of simultaneous eight-week stretching and strengthening trainings and exercises with core stability exercises on the flat foot deformity of female students with the age ranges from 9 to 13 years.   methods and materials: in the present quasi-experimental study on 130 female students, 60 girls with flat feet and the age ranges from 9 to 13,were...

results among the 181 anti-hcv ab negative patients, 13 (7.2%) were positive for hcv core ag and 11 (6%) had detectable hcv rna with a range of 40-336543 iu/ml by pcr. the two tests had a high measurement agreement (kappa=0.82, p<0.001). of the 13 patients with positive hcv core ag test results, 3 were negative for hcv rna. considering real time pcr for hcv rna as the gold standard for hcv infe...
