In this paper, a new MBE (modified Booth encoding) recoder, and a new MBE decoder are proposed in CMOS transistor level to improve the performance of traditional multipliers. The proposed pipelined Booth multiplier can reduce the delay time of the critical path by levelizing the complex gate in the MBE decoder. As a result, MBE decoder is no more the speed bottleneck of a pipelined booth multip...

Malignant brain edema (MBE) due to hemispheric infarction can result in brain herniation, poor outcomes, and death; outcome may be improved if certain interventions, such as decompressive craniectomy, are performed early. We sought to generate a prediction score to easily identify those patients at high risk for MBE. 121 patients with large hemispheric infarction (LHI) (2011 to 2014) were inclu...

Two marine bacteria, designated strains MBE#61(T) and MBE#74(T), were isolated from a piece of sunken bamboo in the marine environment in Japan. Both of these strains were Gram-stain-negative, but had different cell shapes: MBE#61(T) was spiral, whereas MBE#74(T) was rod-shaped. The temperature, pH and salt concentration ranges for growth of strain MBE#61(T) were 4-38 °C (optimal at 32 °C), pH ...

The Multiband Excitation (MBE) model has been found to be suitable for coding of narrowband speech at rates below 4 kbps due to its ability to produce natural sounding speech with a compact set of model parameters and its noise robustness. However the fixed frame analysissynthesis framework of the MBE model is unsuitable for representing dynamic speech sounds such as stops and vocalic transitio...

Model-Based Engineering (MBE) aims at increasing the effectiveness of engineering by using models as key artifacts in the development process. While empirical studies on the use and the effects of MBE in industry exist, there is only little work targeting the embedded systems domain. We contribute to the body of knowledge with a study on the use and the assessment of MBE in that particular doma...

Hypothetically, diminished platelet reactivity (PR) during dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) should cause extra major bleeding events (MBE), although definite evidence is lacking. Multiple scores have been proposed to stratify bleeding risk, but their predictive value during DAPT is unclear. We compared the performance of the Can Rapid Risk Stratification of Unstable Angina Patients Suppress Adv...

Modellbasierte Entwicklung (MBE) ist eine verbreitete Entwicklungsmethode, die die Produktentwicklung verbessern soll. Es existieren nur wenige empirische Untersuchungen in Bezug auf MBE für eingebettete Systeme. Daraus motiviert sich unsere Umfrage zur industriellen Praxis in diesem Bereich. Die Umfrage beinhaltete neben demographischen Fragen, auch Fragen zu den angewandten Sprachen und Werkz...

The protective effects of maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis) extract (MBE) and its major anthocyanins [delphinidin 3,5-O-diglucoside (D3G5G) and delphinidin 3-O-sambubioside-5-O-glucoside (D3S5G)] against light-induced murine photoreceptor cells (661W) death were evaluated. Viability of 661W after light treatment for 24 h, assessed by the tetrazolium salt (WST-8) assay and Hoechst 33342 nuclea...

This study aims to identify any differences regarding gender, age, socioeconomic status (SES), self-rated health, perceived stress and the purchase of prescribed drugs among people who practice mind and body exercises (MBE) extensively compared to people who do not. METHODS The study includes 3,913 men and 4,803 women aged 20-72 who participated in the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey...
