Operational transconductance amplifier and capacitor (OTA-C) filters have outstood among different types of filter due to high frequency and low power capabilities in the main stream digital CMOS technology. They have been widely used in computer hard disk drive (HDD) and wireless communication transceivers. OTA-C filters based on cascade and passive ladder simulation are well-known. However, m...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is one of the important factors involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The equilibrium of Nuclear factor-erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/[BTB (broad-complex, tramtrack and bric-a-brac) and CNC (cap'n'collar protein) homology 1, Bach1] determines the expression level of antioxidant factors, further regulating the function of oxidation/a...

Locomotor modulation of disynaptic EPSPs from the mesencephalic locomotor region in cat motoneurons. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 3284-3296, 1998. When low-frequency tetanization of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) produce fictive locomotion in unanesthetized, decerebrate cats, each MLR stimulus produces a distinctive cord dorsum potential (CDP) and oligosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic potenti...

The myelolactoferrin index (MLF) is significantly lowered in patients with bacterial infections and with malignant diseases. In both cases it can be assumed that the alteration of the granulopoietic storage pool is followed by a decrease in lactoferrin. Therefore, it seems advisable to study (a) to what extent the immunocytochemical quantitative evaluation of lactoferrin content of mature neutr...

Records provide a safe and flexible way to construct data structures. We describe a natural approach to typing polymorphic and extensible records that is simple, easy to use in practice, and straightforward to implement. A novel aspect of this work is that records can contain duplicate labels, effectively introducing a form of scoping over the labels. Furthermore, it is a fully orthogonal exten...

Oenococcus oeni is a wine-associated lactic acid bacterium (LAB) responsible mostly for wine malolactic fermentation (MLF). This fastidious bacterium (auxotrophic for many amino acids and slow growing) possesses remarkable adaptability to harsh physicochemical conditions and can reprogramme its metabolic pathways to enhance its survival in wine. Thus, O. oeni is an instructive bacterial model f...

The shortcomings of traditional Information Retrieval are most evident when users require exact information rather than relevant documents. This practical need is pushing the research community towards systems that can exactly pinpoint those parts of documents that contain the information requested. Answer Extraction (AE) systems aim to satisfy this need. This paper presents one such system (Ex...

Our main goal in this paper is to investigate stochastic ternary antiderivatives (STAD). First, we will introduce the random antiderivative operator. Then, by introducing aggregation function using special functions such as Mittag-Leffler (MLF), Wright (WF), H-Fox (HFF), Gauss hypergeometric (GHF), and exponential (EXP-F), select optimal control performing necessary calculations. Next, consider...
