The augend in the MAC is merged as a partial product into Wallace tree array. The optimized saturation detection logic is proposed. The 679. 2 μm × 132. 5μm area size has been achieved in 0. 18 μm 1.8 V 1P6M CMOS technology by the full-custom circuit layout design. The simulation results show that the design way has significantly less area (about 23.52% reduction) and less delay than those of the common saturating MAC based on standard cell library.展开更多

It seems likely that capsule endoscopy will become increasingly effective in diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy. This will be attractive to patients especially for cancer or varices detection because capsule endoscopy is painless and is likely to have a higher take up rate compared to conventional colonoscopy and gastroscopy. Double imager capsules with increased frame rates have been used to image the esophagus for Barrett's and esophageal varices. The image quality is not bad but needs to be improved if it is to become a realistic substitute for flexible upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. An increase in the frame rate, angle of view, depth of field, image numbers, duration of the procedure and improvements in illumination seem likely. Colonic, esophageal and gastric capsules will improve in quality, eroding the supremacy of flexible endoscopy, and become embedded into screening programs. Therapeutic capsules will emerge with brushing, cytology, fluid aspiration, biopsy and drug delivery capabilities. Electrocautery may also become possible. Diagnostic capsules will integrate physiological measurements with imaging and optical biopsy, and immunologic cancer recognition. Remote control movement will improve with the use of magnets and/or electrostimulation and perhaps electromechanical methods. External wireless commands will influence capsule diagnosis and therapy and will increasingly entail the use of real-time imaging. However, it should be noted that speculations about the future of technology in any detail are almost always wrong.展开更多

It has various parameters, and as yet has not been ex- tensively tested. The general applicability of the al- gorithm to a variety of problems is d. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the feas^ility and ro- bustness of the algorithm, and the sensitivity to the change of various parameters in a series of experi- ments for Nmap portscan detection by using DCA. Experiment results show that the algorithm per- forms well on the task of detecting a ping based Nmap portscan. Sensitivity analysis is also per- formed. True positive rate is higher for the detec- tion of anomaly processes and false positive rate is lower for the detection of normal orocesses.展开更多

Existing methods generally take little care about local characteristics, or become time consuming if every detail is considered. In the paper, a new method is put forward based on the combination of effective image representation and multiscale wavelet analysis. A new object tree image representation is introduced. Then a series of object trees are constructed based on wavelet transform modulus maxima at different scales in descending order. Computation is only needed for interested regions. Implementation steps are also given with an illustrative example.展开更多

In this paper a novel intrusion detection mode based on understandable Neural Network Tree (NNTree) is pre-sented. NNTree is a modular neural network with the overall structure being a Decision Tree (DT), and each non-terminal node being an Expert Neural Network (ENN). One crucial advantage of using NNTrees is that they keep the non-symbolic model ENN’s capability of learning in changing environments. Another potential advantage of using NNTrees is that they are actually “gray boxes” as they can be interpreted easily if the num-ber of inputs for each ENN is limited. We showed through experiments that the trained NNTree achieved a simple ENN at each non-terminal node as well as a satisfying recognition rate of the network packets dataset. We also compared the performance with that of a three-layer backpropagation neural network. Experimental results indicated that the NNTree based intrusion detection model achieved better performance than the neural network based intrusion detection model.展开更多

In the algorithm, the Bresenham circle with 3-pixel radius was used as the test mask, overlapping the candidate comers with the nucleus. Connected pixels on the circle were applied to compare the intensity value with the nucleus, with the membership function used to give the fuzzy result. The pixel with maximum information gain was chosen as the parent node to build a binary decision tree. Thus, the comer detector was derived. The pictures taken in Fengtai Railway Station in Beijing were used to test the method. The experimental results show that when the number of pixels on the test mask is chosen to be 9, best result can be obtained. The comer detector significantly outperforms existing detector in computational efficiency without sacrificing the quality and the method also provides high performance against Poisson noise and Gaussian blur.展开更多

Nucleic acid extracted from midribs of samples collected from three jujube varieties ("Suanzao", "Lajiaozao" and "Langzao") from symptomatic and asymptomatic shoots were tested by random amplified polymorphic DNA analyses. Using 13 different 10 and 11-bp random primers the amplification of jujube DNA was achieved from all the samples; AMI4 primer provided amplification of specific DNA fragments of about 400 bp, only from samples collected from symptomatic plants. No genetic variations in these varieties were identified using the other 11 arbitrary primers; only with primer AL07 it was possible to differentiate "Langzao" from the other two varieties tested. All the experiments were repeated 2 times and the results were consistent. Compared with PCR analyses with phytoplasma-specific primers, RAPD techniques resulted to be an alternative rapid and sensitive method for detecting jujube phytoplasmas presence in different jujube varieties.展开更多

Two apo C I cDNA clones were obtained. The longer one consistsof 380 nucleotides, including 21 bp and 95 bp at the 5’ and 3’ end of the non translated regions respectively, and a 264 bp fragment in an open reading frame encoding 88 amino acids prepropeptide which contains 26 amino acids of signal peptide and a mature protein (62 amino acids). Comparing the amino acid sequence deduced from this cDNA with those of the published mammalian apo C Is reveals that it shared some structural similarity with rat, mouse and dog apo C I, but it had 5 more amino acids than that of human and baboon. The expression of apo C I mRNA in 8 different tissues were also assayed with Northern blot. The results demonstrated that liver had the highest expression, intestine had much less expression and no expression in other tissues, which is much different from human and other species. This study has laid down a good foundation for further studying on the function and the stucture of tree shrew apo C I gene.展开更多

Based on rectangular dislocation theory in an elastic-viscoelastic layered medium, we have simulated the co- seismic deformation and gravity change with gravitational effect considered. The pictures show that the absolute gravity measuring point is beside the extremum of coseismic gravity change, and the numerical value reaches 25.02 x 10-Sm. s-2. After a discussion about the gravity changes before the earthquake and the coherence consistency between two FG-5 absolute gravimeters, we think that the measured value 27.2 × 10^-8 m· s^-2 at Yushu station is coseismic gravity change. It's coincident with the simulation results based on dislocation theory. Therefore it is a good tool to test the near-field changes found by dislocation theory.展开更多
