Pre-processing speech signals in FPGAs
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Algorithms are traditionally developed on off-the-shelf digital signal processors. Recent silicon technology advance has made FPGAs feasible as an alternative solution. However, most of signal processing work in the past ... -
A Precise Benchmark for Cluster Scaling Relations: Fundamental Plane, Mass Plane and IMF in the Coma Cluster from Dynamical Models
(2020-04-26)We study a sample of 148 early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster using SDSS photometry and spectra, and calibrate our results using detailed dynamical models for a subset of these galaxies, to create a precise benchmark ... -
Precise worst-case execution time analysis for processors with timing anomalies
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)This paper explores timing anomalies in WCET analysis.Timing anomalies add to the complexity of WCET analysis and make it hard to apply divide-and-conquer strategies to simplify the WCET assessment. So far, timing anomalies ... -
Precision Photometry at the University of Hertfordshire's Bayfordbury Observatory
(2018-03-21)This thesis presents work conducted at the University of Hertfordshire’s Observatory at Bayfordbury Hertfordshire to develop a model to predict the photometric precision of their 40cm aperture telescopes whilst observing ... -
Precision radial velocities in the infrared
(2009)Over 250 extra-solar planets have been discovered to date using a variety of techniques. The majority have been discovered at optical wavelengths from the Doppler shift of F, G and K stars induced by orbiting planets. We ... -
Precision radial velocities of 15 M5-M9 dwarfs
(2014-04-11)We present radial velocity measurements of a sample ofM5V-M9Vstars from our Red-Optical Planet Survey, operating at 0.652-1.025 μm. Radial velocities for 15 stars, with rms precision down to 2.5m-1 over a week-long time-scale, ... -
Precision Radial Velocity Spectrograph
(SPIE, 2008)We present a conceptual design for a Precision Radial Velocity Spectrograph (PRVS) for the Gemini telescope. PRVS is a fibre fed high resolving power (R similar to 70,000 at 2.5 pixel sampling) cryogenic echelle spectrograph ... -
Precision treatment in ACS – role of assessing fibrinolysis
(2021-03-01)Despite advancements in pharmacotherapy and interventional strategies, patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain at risk of recurrent thrombotic events. In addition to an enhanced tendency to thrombus formation, ... -
Preclinical evaluation of the Versius surgical system: A next‐generation surgical robot for use in minimal access prostate surgery
(2023-03-13)Objectives: To evaluate the Versius surgical system for robot‐assisted prostatectomy in a preclinical cadaveric model using varying system setups and collect surgeon feedback on the performance of the system and instruments, ... -
Preclinical Neuropathic Pain Assessment; the Importance of Translatability and Bidirectional Research : Translatable and Bidirectional Research
(2021-02-08)For patients suffering with chronic neuropathic pain the need for suitable novel therapies is imperative. Over recent years a contributing factor for the lack of development of new analgesics for neuropathic pain has been ... -
Preconditions for Service Design in Colombia: Governance and Community Challenges
(2020-09-15)Owing to the conditions of poverty in which 28% of its inhabitants live, the national government of Colombia provides services through its local administration in order to care for the needs of its vulnerable communities. ... -
Predatory behaviour of trapping fungi against srf mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans and different plant and animal parasitic nematodes
(1999-07)The initial infection process of nematode-trapping fungi is based on an interaction between the trapping structure of the fungus and the surface of the nematode cuticle. A bioassay was designed to investigate the predatory ... -
Predicted cross-sections for photon-induced particle emission
(2004-09)Cross-sections for the photon-induced particle-emission reactions (gamma,n), (gamma,p), and (gamma,alpha) are given for all natural isotopes from Ti to Bi. The target nuclei are assumed to be in their ground states, except ... -
Predicted estimates of resting energy expenditure have limited clinical utility in patients with cirrhosis: an individual patient data analysis
(2022-01-26)Background & Aim: Malnutrition is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with cirrhosis. Accurate assessment of energy requirements is needed to optimize dietary intake. Resting energy expenditure (REE), the ... -

Predicting Cloud Conditions in Substellar Mass Objects Using Ultracool Dwarf Companions
(2024-02-29)We present results from conducting a theoretical chemical analysis of a sample of benchmark companion brown dwarfs whose primary star is of type F, G or K. We summarize the entire known sample of these types of companion ... -
Predicting drug absorption rates through human skin
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)Predicting the rate at which a substance will pass through human skin and into the bloodstream is a problem of current interest. We use Gaussian Process modeling to train a set of predictors using every combination of six ... -
Predicting fatty acid profiles in blood based on food intake and the FADS1 rs174546 SNP
(2015-12)SCOPE: A high intake of n-3 PUFA provides health benefits via changes in the n-6/n-3 ratio in blood. In addition to such dietary PUFAs, variants in the fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) gene are also associated with altered ... -
