In this paper, we propose a novel reverse converter for the moduli set {2n + 1, 2n, 2n − 1}. First, we simplify the Chinese Remainder Theorem in order to obtain a reverse converter that uses mod(2n−1) operations. Next, we present a low complexity implementation that does not require the explicit use of modulo operation in the conversion process and we prove that theoretically speaking it outper...

In this paper, we introduce a new 6n bit Dynamic Range Moduli set { 2 2n , 2 2n + 1, 2 2n – 1} and then present its associated novel reverse converters. First, we simplify the Chinese Remainder Theorem in order to obtain an efficient reverse converter which is completely memory less and adder based. Next, we present a low complexity implementation that does not require the explicit use of modul...

We propose wavelength converters based on modulated coupled resonators that achieve conversion by matching the modulation frequency to the frequency splitting of the supermodes of the unmodulated system. Using temporal coupled-mode theory, we show that these time-variant systems have an equivalent linear, time-invariant filter representation that simplifies the optimal engineering of design par...

BACKGROUND It is widely believed that reducing the lignocellulosic biomass particle size would improve the biomass digestibility by increasing the total surface area and eliminating mass and heat transfer limitation during hydrolysis reactions. However, past studies demonstrate that particle size influences biomass digestibility to a limited extent. Thus, this paper studies the effect of partic...

The dose conversion factors for short-lived thoron decay products were calculated using a dosimetric approach. The calculations were based on a computer program LUDEP, which implements the ICRP 66 respiratory tract model. The dose per equilibrium equivalent concentration for thoron (EETC) was calculated with respect to (1) equivalent dose to each region of the lung tissues (bronchial, bronchiol...

In this paper, we investigate Residue Number System (RNS) to decimal conversion for a three moduli set with a common factor. We propose a new RNS to binary converter for the moduli set {2n + 2, 2n + 1, 2n} for any even integer n > 0. First, we demonstrate that for such a moduli set, the computation of the multiplicative inverses can be eliminated. Secondly, we simplify the Chinese Remainder The...

Fifteen healthy male volunteers (in four groups) received single 1 h i.v. infusions of alatrofloxacin (CP-116,517) equivalent to 30, 100, 200 or 300 mg of its active metabolite, trovafloxacin (CP-99,219). Blood and urine were sampled over 73 and 72 h, respectively, and plasma levels of alatrofloxacin and serum concentrations of trovafloxacin were determined by HPLC with UV detection. Alatroflox...

Cross-language voice conversion maps the speech of speaker S1 in language L1 to the voice of speaker S2 using knowledge only of how S2 speaks a different language L2. This mapping is usually performed using speech material from S1 and S2 that has been deemed “equivalent” in either acoustic or phonetic terms. This study investigates the issue of equivalence in more detail, and contrasts the perf...

Engineering clinically relevant cells in vitro holds promise for regenerative medicine, but most protocols fail to faithfully recapitulate target cell properties. To address this, we developed CellNet, a network biology platform that determines whether engineered cells are equivalent to their target tissues, diagnoses aberrant gene regulatory networks, and prioritizes candidate transcriptional ...

Abstract In order to more accurately assess the pedestrian level of service (PLOS) crosswalks and rationally design signal timing, a method calculating standard equivalent (SPE) factors at signalized crosswalk in China was proposed this study by considering differences static dynamic characteristics amongst pedestrians. Firstly, pedestrians were classified into five types using field data colle...
