The paper provides an in-depth tutorial of mathematical construction of maximal length sequences (m-sequences) via primitive polynomials and how to map the same when implemented in shift registers. It is equally important to check whether a polynomial is primitive or not so as to get proper m-sequences. A fast method to identify primitive polynomials over binary fields is proposed where the com...

the mössbauer spectra of nanoferrite materials such as ni0.25mn0.75fe2o4, co0.5mn0.5fe2o4 and ni0.4co0.6fe2o4 have been reported and the above materials were prepared by sol-gel combustion method using metal nitrates as source material and polyvinyl alcohol(pva) as agglomeration reducing agent. as the structural, thermal and magnetic properties (vsm) of the above ferrites have been published al...

background: length of stay is one of the most important indicators in assessing hospital performance. a shorter stay can reduce the costs per discharge and shift care from inpatient to less expensive post-acute settings. it can lead to a greater readmission rate, better resource management, and more efficient services. objective: this study aimed to identify the factors influencing length of ho...

The Integrated Optics has resulted in miniaturization of optical devices. Bent waveguides have replaced straight waveguides in optical integrated circuits for such reasons. In the proposed work, curved/bent waveguide is basic structure for generating delay and hence the phase shift. A differential phase shift is obtained by the differential length change between the straight waveguide and a S-b...

The objective of this study was to analyze hospital staff nurses' shift length, scheduling characteristics, and nurse reported safety and quality. A secondary analysis of a large nurse survey linked with hospital administrative data was conducted. More than 22 000 registered nurses' reports of shift length and scheduling characteristics were examined. Extended shift lengths were associated with...

patients and methods in this retrospective, cross-sectional study, the medical records of all deceased neonates hospitalized in fatemieh hospital of hamadan, during a 5-year period (2006 – 2011) were extracted. a questionnaire including sex, weight, gestational age, time of birth, delivery mode, maternal disease, and leading cause of death was filled out. the information was then analyzed using...
