The significant progress in the development of Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) logic circuits indicates their potential for fast cryoelectronic device applications. The possibilities of realizing logic components based on this principle with high-T, superconductive (HTS) materials have been studied by means of numerical computations. The most crucial task is to manage the trade-off between des...

A high temperature superconductor (HTS) filter is designed and measured at 1.93 GHz, using microstrip half-wavelength spiral resonators. Resonant and coupling characteristics of miniaturized microstrip spiral resonators are investigated first. Then a 4-pole Chebyshev bandpass filter with a very narrow passband (4.1 MHz) is designed and realized using microstrip spiral resonators. The filter is ...

High-throughput screening (HTS) is now routinely conducted for drug discovery by both pharmaceutical companies and screening centers at academic institutions and universities. Rapid advance in assay development, robot automation, and computer technology has led to the generation of terabytes of data in screening laboratories. Despite the technology development toward HTS productivity, fewer eff...

MOTIVATION As high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology becomes ubiquitous and the volume of data continues to rise, HTS read alignment is becoming increasingly rate-limiting, which keeps pressing the development of novel read alignment approaches. Moreover, promising novel applications of HTS technology require aligning reads to multiple genomes instead of a single reference; however, it is ...

Hypertension is known to decrease arterial distensibility and systemic compliance. However, the arterial tree is not homogeneous, and it has been shown that the medium-size radial artery does not behave like the proximal, elastic, large, common carotid artery. Indeed, radial artery compliance in hypertensive patients (HTs) has been shown to be paradoxically increased when compared with that in ...

This study shows how a cost-effective hydraulic tomography survey (HTS) and the associated data estimator can be used to characterize flow and transport in heterogeneous aquifers. The HTS is an improved field hydraulic test that accounts for responses of hydraulic stresses caused by pumping or injection events at different locations of an aquifer. A sequential data assimilation method based on ...

Segmental evaluation of HTS HTS is a parametric speech synthesis system based on the use of Hidden Markov Models (HMM). HTS is now widely used but very few studies have been conducted to analyze the influence of parameters on the quality of the synthetic speech. The aim of this paper is to provide an objective evaluation of the quality of the synthetic speech produced by HTS in order to assess ...

An analytical computation of the magnetic field distribution in a wholly superconducting synchronous reluctance motor is proposed. The stator of the studied motor consists of three-phase HTS armature windings fed by AC currents. The rotor is made with HTS bulks which present the specificity to have a diamagnetic behavior under zerofield cooling. The electromagnetic torque is obtained by the int...

Muon-spin rotation (μSR) studies of the oxygen isotope (O/O) effect (OIE) on the in-plane magnetic field penetration depth λab in cuprate high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are presented. First, the doping dependence of the OIE on the transition temperature Tc in various HTS is briefly discussed. It is observed that different cuprate families show a similar doping dependence of the OIE on T...

The leukocyte-specific integrin CD11b/CD18 plays a key role in the biological function of these cells and represents a validated therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases. Currently, the low affinity interaction between CD11b/CD18 integrin and its respective ligand poses a challenge in the development of cell-based adhesion assays for the high-throughput screening (HTS) environment. Here the...
