Well-posed nonlinear problems in integrated circuits modeling
1991
In this paper we study the problem (E) + (BC) + (IC) (see below) which represents a model for integrated circuits. We assume that the distributed parametersr(x) andc(x) are nonconstant, dielectric leakages depend on thex-coordinate as well as the voltage level, while the interconnecting multiport is nonlinear and possibly multivalued.
Digital filtering and analysis for a semiconductor X-ray detector data acquisition
2007
Abstract Pile-up distortion is a major drawback in X-ray spectroscopy at high count rate. Pulse width narrowing with shaping techniques can lead to the reduction of the pile-up distortion, but a low shaping time reduces the noise filtration and leads to a poor energy resolution. Thus, only a best compromise solution between the pile-up and the noise requirements is achievable. The hardware manipulation needed to adjust the parameters of the traditional electronic shaping amplifiers makes it uneasy to tests various settings in different conditions. Digital techniques can help to overcome such difficulties. A digital signal processing and analysis system for X-ray spectroscopy is described in…
Muon identification with the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter Read-Out Driver for Level-2 trigger purposes
2008
The Hadronic Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) at the ATLAS experiment is a detector made out of iron as passive medium and plastic scintillating tiles as active medium. The light produced by the particles is converted to electrical signals which are digitized in the front-end electronics and sent to the back-end system. The main element of the back-end electronics are the VME 9U Read-Out Driver (ROD) boards, responsible of data management, processing and transmission. A total of 32 ROD boards, placed in the data acquisition chain between Level-1 and Level-2 trigger, are needed to read out the whole calorimeter. They are equipped with fixed-point Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) that apply online …
Artificial increase of uracilemia during fluoropyrimidine treatment can lead to DPD deficiency misinterpretation
2021
Each year in France, >75 000 patients receive fluoropyrimidines, including 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and its oral prodrug capecitabine (Xeloda), to treat digestive, breast and head and neck cancers.1 Among them, ∼20% will experience severe hematological and digestive toxicities and <2% will have a fatal outcome in the first two cycles. A part of these toxicities may result from a deficiency in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) which catabolizes the endogenous uracil (U) into dihydrouracil (UH2) as well as 5-FU. In 2018, French Health Authorities [Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) and Institut National du Cancer, (INCa)] recommended the evaluation of the enzymatic activity of DPD by measuring th…
MMD codes in a more general sense
2002
Summary form only given. The author deals with the characterisation of maximum minimum distance (MMD) codes in a more general sense, which has been completed in a joint work with Olsson. As in the m=1 case the weight distribution of an MMD code /spl Cscr/ is uniquely determined by its parameters [n,k,d]/sub q/.
The terminal hyperspace of homogeneous continua
2010
Abstract We investigate the structure of the collection of terminal subcontinua in homogeneous continua. The main result is a reduction of this structure to six specific types. Three of these types are of one-dimensional spaces, and examples representing these types are known. It is not known whether higher dimensional examples having non-trivial terminal subcontinua and representing the three remaining types exist.
A simple algorithm for generating neuronal dendritic trees
1990
Abstract A simple, efficient algorithm is presented for generating the codewords of all neuronal dendritic trees with a given number of terminal nodes. Furthermore, a procedure is developed for deciding if different codewords correspond to topologically equivalent trees.
Quantum computing thanks to Bianchi groups
2018
It has been shown that the concept of a magic state (in universal quantum computing: uqc) and that of a minimal informationally complete positive operator valued measure: MIC-POVMs (in quantum measurements) are in good agreement when such a magic state is selected in the set of non-stabilizer eigenstates of permutation gates with the Pauli group acting on it [1]. Further work observed that most found low-dimensional MICs may be built from subgroups of the modular group PS L(2, Z) [2] and that this can be understood from the picture of the trefoil knot and related 3-manifolds [3]. Here one concentrates on Bianchi groups PS L(2, O10) (with O10 the integer ring over the imaginary quadratic fie…
A Coupled Fixed Point Theorem in Fuzzy Metric Space Satisfying ϕ-Contractive Condition
2013
The intent of this paper is to prove a coupled fixed point theorem for two pairs of compatible and subsequentially continuous (alternately subcompatible and reciprocally continuous) mappings, satisfyingϕ-contractive conditions in a fuzzy metric space. We also furnish some illustrative examples to support our results.
EMG artifacts removal during electrical stimulation, a CWT based technique
2014
International audience; A technique of artifacts removal based on the continuous wavelet transform is presented. It uses common mother wavelets to find the temporal localization of stimulation artifacts on electromyogram (EMG) signal during an electrically evoked contraction of a muscle. This method can be used with standard stimulation pulse waveforms like monophasics or biphasics ones. It uses a histogram representation to find the best threshold to apply on the CWT domain. The algotithm is presented with Haar wavelet and then it is used with common wavelet famillies such as Daubechies or Symlets.
