Its usefulness is noted when we realize second order all-pass, band-reject or elliptic functions

In this paper, the authors present an educational software package for the generation, schematic capture, simulation, optimization and layout description of integrated electronic systems. This system works in an environment (framework) that manipulates each of the tools. The main characteristic of this system is that the hierarchic method is used and students can make top-down designs starting from a system definition up to the physical description layout of the devices needed in the integrated circuit.

The image of the right hand of a subject is captured in an unconstrained pose, with a commercial flatbed scanner. The invariance to rotation and position properties of the pecstrum allow the system to avoid a fixed hand position using pegs, as is the case in other reported systems. Identification experiments were carried out using the obtained feature vectors as the input to some recognition systems based on distance classifiers, neural networks, and support vector machines, for comparison purposes. The verification case was analyzed through an Euclidean distance classifier, obtaining the acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) of the system for some K-fold cross validation experiments. In average, an Equal Error Rate of 2.31 % was obtained. The results indicate that the pattern spectrum represents a good alternativ...

Materials and methods A systematic review with meta-analysis based on diagnostic test studies. A literature search was carried out in the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases through August 30, 2020. For this review, the quality assessment tool of diagnostic precision studies (QUADAS-2) was used. Hierarchical regression models were used to estimate pooled diagnostic precision values in a random effects model. Results A total of 40 studies were identified for this review according to each test evaluated: 5.562 samples for autofluorescence, 1.353 samples for chemiluminescence, and 1.892 samples for clinical examination. The summary measures sensitivity and specificity of the clinical examination were 63% and 78%, respectively, AUC = 0.78 95% CI (0.74–0.81). In the autofluorescence test, these were 86% and 72%, respectively, AUC = 0.86 95% CI (0.83–0.89); and the chemiluminescent test were 67% and 48%, respectively, AUC = 0.59 95% CI (0.54–0.63) Conclusions Autofluorescence devices displayed superior accuracy levels in the identification of premalignant lesions and early neoplastic changes compared to clinical examination and chemiluminescent test. Overall, biopsy remains the gold standard for the definitive diagnosis of OPMD, OC, and OPC. Clinical Relevance Light-based clinical methods such as autofluorescence and chemiluminescence techniques have been used in clinical diagnosis for the differentiation of OPMD and malignant and benign lesions; although detailed visual examination appears to be effective in identifying, previous systematic reviews have not evaluated a relevant number of studies and they did not evaluate the accuracy of the clinical examination.

From the first computer installed in 1958 to the present day, the authors analyze the role computer science has played in Mexico, looking at its limitations, opportunities, academic programs, government, and related industries as the motor of computer science development. They describe how research has gone from an approach centered only on applications development to the creation of research institutions granting advanced degrees and a growing community of researchers.

However, its sensitivities to the finite gain product of the operational amplifiers limit its performance for high frequencies. We propose a new ...

Thus, solving a circuit, aside from a small resistive circuit, is more than impossible. Fortunately, students have access to simulators like SPICE which can help them solve more complex circuits to observe the behaviour under different excitation inputs. This work describes a software interface that helps one to use a SPICE simulator without having any knowledge about the simulator syntax and requiring no previous training on the interface
