The distribution of Sphaerospora dicentrarchi Sitjà-Bobadilla et Alvarez-Pellitero, 1992 and S. testicularis Sitjà-Bobadilla et Alvarez-Pellitero, 1990, myxozoan parasites of European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax (L.), was investigated in different farming systems in Italy. In total, 1406 fish were examined. High S. dicentrarchi prevalence was observed in all the farming systems involved in thi...

Introduction: Sacroiliac joint pain (SIJP) after lumbar fusion surgery has recently gained attention as a source of low back pain after lumbar fusion. There are two risk factors for postoperative SIJP, i.e., fusion involving the sacrum and multiple-segment fusion. In this study, we examined whether SIJP could occur more frequently in patients with two risk factors (multiple-segment fusion to sa...

This study aimed to produce a gastroretentive floating tablet of Metoprolol succinate and examine the effects release retardant on in vitro drug release. is β1 selective antagonist used as an Anti-hypertensive, Antiarrhythmic, Anti Angina. has 48% oral bioavailability due limited absorption from lower gastrointestinal tract. The tablets were designed increase stomach retention, prolong release,...

Commercial applications and databases typically store numerical data in decimal format. Currently, however, microprocessors do not provide instructions or hardware support for decimal floating-point arithmetic [ 1 ]. Consequently, decimal numbers are often read into computers, converted to binary numbers, and then processed using binary floating-point arithmetic. Results are then converted back...

SPRY061 System developers, especially those who are new to digital signal processors (DSPs), are sometimes uncertain whether they need to use fixedor floating-point DSPs for their systems. Both fixedand floating-point DSPs are designed to perform the highspeed computations that underlie real-time signal processing. Both feature system-ona-chip (SOC) integration with on-chip memory and a variety...

A fuzzy sliding mode control method is proposed to eliminate the interference that suspended floating objects suffered in the on-ground low-gravity simulation system. Due to the change of sling swing-angle that caused by the external interference is weak, the time integral of the sling swing-angle is taken as tracking errors. Meanwhile the values of angle and the angle differential should be co...

The leaky integrate and fire (LIF) neuron represents standard neuronal model used for numerical simulations. The leakage is implemented in the model as exponential decay of trans-membrane voltage towards its resting value. This makes inevitable the usage of machine floating point numbers in the course of simulation. It is known that machine floating point arithmetic is subjected to small inaccu...

DSP chip design has followed two distinct paths – utilizing either fixed-point or floatingpoint instruction sets to create processors targeted at different applications and performance goals. Floating-point DSPs deliver high dynamic range, high precision and a simplified programming environment. Additionally, since a majority of PC-based development tools generate floating-point code, developer...
