This technical note presents a algorithmic approach for generating optimal sets of co-prime moduli within specified integer ranges. The proposed method addresses the challenge of balancing moduli bit-lengths while maximizing the dynamic range in Residue Number System (RNS) implementations. Experimental results demonstrate that the generated moduli sets achieve optimal dynamic range coverage while maintaining balanced bit-length distribution, making them particularly suitable for parallel hardware implementations based on RNS.

Liver dysfunction can occur in patients presenting with thyrotoxicosis, due to several different aetiologies. A 42-year-old man had mild liver dysfunction on presentation with hyperthyroidism due to Graves’ disease (GD): ALT 65 (0–45 IU/L), fT4 41.2 (9–23 pmol/L), fT3 > 30.7 (2.4–6 pmol/L), and TSH < 0.01 (0.3–4.2 mIU/L). His liver dysfunction worsened following the initiation of the antithyroid drug (ATD) carbimazole (CBZ), with ALT reaching a zenith of 263 IU/L at 8 weeks following presentation. Consequently, CBZ was stopped, and he was managed with urgent radioiodine therapy. His liver function tests (LFTs) improved within 1 week of stopping carbimazole (ALT 74 IU/L). Thionamide-induced liver dysfunction is more typically associated with a ‘cholestatic’ pattern, although he had a ‘hepatitic’ pattern of liver dysfunction. The risk of liver dysfunction in GD increases with older age and higher titres of thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb). This review of the literature seeks to explore the possible causes of liver dysfunction in a patient presenting with hyperthyroidism, including thyrotoxicosis-induced liver dysfunction, ATD-related liver dysfunction, and the exacerbation of underlying unrelated liver disease.
QMKPy provides a Python framework for modeling and solving the quadratic multiple knapsack problem (QMKP). It is primarily aimed at researchers who develop new solution algorithms for the QMKP. QMKPy therefore mostly functions as a testbed to quickly implement novel algorithms and compare their results with existing ones. However, the package also already includes implementations of established algorithms for those who only need to solve a QMKP as part of their research.
El presente artículo indaga las maneras en que la comunicación transmedia aunada a la participación ciudadana se constituye en una estrategia para generar y fortalecer procesos de movilización social. Plantea un recorrido teórico y conceptual sobre el concepto de narrativas transmedia en marco de la movilización social y toma como ejemplo para el análisis, por su representatividad y reconocimiento en las dinámicas sociales y culturales, al colectivo de Hip- Hop Casa Kolacho, cuyas acciones se llevan a cabo en la Comuna 13 de Medellín, territorio referente en la producción del Hip-hop en la ciudad. Se investiga además la perspectiva de éstos jóvenes involucrados en la producción cultural y creativa, relacionada con el Hip-Hop en la ciudad de Medellín. Para lograrlo, se llevó a cabo un análisis de redes sociales en el que se presentan contenidos relacionados con las producciones asociadas al Centro Cultural Casa Kolacho, la aplicación de entrevistas y seguimiento de las actividades de algunos graffiteros y miembros del Colectivo Casa Kolacho.
We describe here an optical device, based on time-delays, for solving the set splitting problem which is well-known NP-complete problem. The device has a graph-like structure and the light is traversing it from a start node to a destination node. All possible (potential) paths in the graph are generated and at the destination we will check which one satisfies completely the problem's constrains.
We firstly suggest new cache policy applying the duty to delete invalid cache data on Non-volatile Memory (NVM). This cache policy includes generating random data and overwriting the random data into invalid cache data. Proposed cache policy is more economical and effective regarding perfect deletion of data. It is ensure that the invalid cache data in NVM is secure against malicious hackers.
Customizing the precision of data can provide attractive trade-offs between accuracy and hardware resources. We propose a novel form of vector computing aimed at arrays of custom-precision floating point data. We represent these vectors in bitslice format. Bitwise instructions are used to implement arithmetic circuits in software that operate on customized bit-precision. Experiments show that this approach can be efficient for vectors of low-precision custom floating point types, while providing arbitrary bit precision.
Maximum length CA has wide range of applications in design of linear block code, cryptographic primitives and VLSI testing particularly in Built-In-Self-Test. In this paper, an algorithm to compute all $n$-cell maximum length CA-rule vectors is proposed. Also rule vectors for each primitive polynomial in GF(2^2) to GF(2^{12} have been computed by simulation and they have been listed.Programmable rule vectors based maximum length CA can be used to design cryptographic primitives.

The design and analysis of planar shielded-loop resonators for use in wireless non-radiative power transfer systems is presented. The difficulties associated with coaxial shielded-loop resonators for wireless power transfer are discussed and planar alternatives are proposed. The currents along these planar structures are analyzed and first-order design equations are presented in the form of a circuit model. In addition, the planar structures are simulated and fabricated. Planar shielded-loop resonators are compact and simple to fabricate. Moreover, they are well-suited for printed circuit board designs or integrated circuits
In this paper, introduced below are the concepts of digital modulation used in many communication systems today. Techniques described include quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and how these techniques can be used to increase the capacity and speed of a wireless network. These modulation techniques are the basis of communications for systems like cable modems, DSL modems, CDMA, 3G, Wi-Fi* (IEEE 802.11) and WiMAX* (IEEE 802.16).
The author would like to propose a simple but yet effective method, convex layers, nearest neighbor and triangle inequality, to approach the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). No computer is needed in this method. This method is designed for plain folks who faced the TSP everyday but do not have the sophisticated knowledge of computer science, programming language or applied mathematics. The author also hopes that it would give some insights to researchers who are interested in the TSP.
Constructive theory of characterization test is considered. The theory is applicable to a nano devices characterization: current-voltage, Auger current dependence. Generally small response of device under test on an applied stimulus is masked by an unknown deterministic background and a random noise. Characterization test in this signal corruption scenario should be based on correlation measurement technique of device response on applied optimal stimulus with optimal reference signal. Co-synthesis solution of stimulus and reference signal is proposed.

System on programmable chip for the performance estimation of loom machine, which calculates the efficiency and meter count for weaved cloth automatically. Also it calculates the efficiency of loom machine. Previously the same was done using manual process which was not efficient. This article is intended for loom machines which are not modern.
Near-miss experiences are one of the main sources of intense emotions. Despite people's consistency when judging near-miss situations and when communicating about them, there is no integrated theoretical account of the phenomenon. In particular, individuals' reaction to near-miss situations is not correctly predicted by rationality-based or probability-based optimization. The present study suggests that emotional intensity in the case of near-miss is in part predicted by Simplicity Theory.
This paper describes "Variable Zo," a novel and proprietary approach to antenna design and optimization. The new methodology is illustrated by applying it to the design of a resistively-loaded bowtie antenna and to two broadband Yagi-Uda arrays. Variable Zo is applicable to any antenna design or optimization methodology. Using it will result in generally better antenna designs across any user-specified set of performance objectives.
