This paper describes a feedthrough reduction technique for a track-and-hold (T/H) circuit with a body-bias control circuit. We propose a T/H circuit with a feedthrough canceller. This circuit cancels a leaking signal to the output node through the parasitic capacitance by using an opposite-phase signal. The simulation results using 90-nm CMOS technology demonstrate a feedthrough of −89.4 dB and...

A 4 order RF LC Σ∆ ADC clocked at 3.6GHz and centered at 900MHz is presented. The simplicity of the ADC architecture results in a significant performance enhancement and power consumption reduction. The ADC, suitable for Software Defined Radio applications, is implemented in a standard 130nm CMOS technology. It achieves a 52dB SFDR and a 50dB SNDR in a 28MHz BW and consumes only 15mW from a 1.2...

14 Allosteric regulation is found across all domains of life, yet we still lack simple, predictive theories that 15 directly link the experimentally tunable parameters of a system to its input-output response. To that end, 16 we present a general theory of allosteric transcriptional regulation using the Monod-Wyman-Changeux 17 model. We rigorously test this model using the ubiquitous simple rep...

A theoretical study at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level was performed on the tatumerization of 7H-purine-2, 6-diamine into 9H-purine-2, 6-diamine. Such a tautomerism can take place via three different pathways namely A, B, and C. The energetic results associated with the gas phase reveal that pathways A, B, and C display a very high activation Gibbs free energy of 45.1, 68.6 and 48.9 kcal/mol, resp...

background: in diagnostic radiology lead apron, are usually used to protect patients and radiology staff against ionizing radiation. lead apron is a desirable shield due to high absorption and effective attenuation of x-ray photons in the diagnostic radiology range. objective: although lead aprons have good radiation protection properties, in recent years, researchers have been looking for alte...

The objective of the present investigation was to determine the seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii infection in free-range yaks in China. A total of 552 serum samples were collected from yaks in Gansu province, northwest China between April 2013 and January 2014, and antibodies against C. burnetii were evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Overall, 13.59% (75/552, 95% CI: ...
