A flexible embedded test solution for high-speed analogue front-end subsystems is presented. A novel concept of a flexible test solution that addresses virtual component test requirements in particular is introduced. The integration and application of the non-invasive digital test solution is demonstrated for a representative design. Its area overhead is assessed for different depths in on-chip...

Bone like hydroxyapatite (nHAp) was synthesized via an in situ biomimetic process in presence of wheat starch. The effect of polymer concentration alteration on the final structure of nHAp was investigated. Formation of the nHAp at room temperature was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Size and morphology of the nHAp samples were character...

‎Multivariate normal-Poisson model has been recently introduced as a special case of normal stable Tweedie models‎. ‎The model is composed of a univariate Poisson variable‎, ‎and the remaining variables given the Poisson one are independent Gaussian variables with variance the value of the Poisson component‎. ‎Two characterizations of this model are shown‎, ‎...

Current best practice in modeling component-based applications is the use of UML extended by a profile. This solution provides a general and common approach of application description and allows to capture some details based on the concrete component model. It has however disadvantages due to the limitations of UML itself, like little scalability or lack of inherent model semantics. In this pap...

Two components of the outward K+ currents (Ik) of cells isolated from the circular layer of human jejunum were investigated using the conventional whole-cell voltage clamp method. A fast transient Ik component could only be elicited by depolarization in cells dialysed with pipette solution of pCa < 7.4. This Ik component was strongly voltage dependent, and could be selectively abolished by 30 m...

A clinical trial was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of hypertonic solution (5% NaCl) in patients who have bullous keratopathy (BK). The aim of the study was to define the stage of the disease and the thickness of cornea in micrometers, which would be the threshold for therapeutic approach. This was a prospective study on 70 eyes of 55 patients. Patients were divided in two groups at the be...
