Design of phase locked loop with PVT tolerance by Chong, Kok Foong

“…VCO dummies are normally added to the VCO in order to provide a uniform loading for each VCO delay stage. To check the impacts of different VCO dummy implementation on PLL jitter, five experimental charge pump PLLs are simulated with difference only in the dummy stages: (i) no dummy, (ii) simple dummy, (iii) single stage differential dummy, (iv) double stage differential dummy and (v) full differential dummy with the D2S converters. …”

Body composition, body mass, and cardiovascular health in mid-childhood and midlife: a compositional data analysis by Liu, M, Dumuid, D, Olds, T, Burgner, D, Ellul, S, Juonala, M, Wang, Y, Ranganathan, S, Cheung, M, Baur, L, Dwyer, T, Kerr, JA, Lycett, K, Wake, M

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> In the population-based cross-sectional Child Health CheckPoint study (1495 children, mean 12 ± 0.4 years, 49.3% girls; 1496 parents, mean 44.3 ± 5.0 years, 86.7% mothers), we measured weight, height, body composition [truncal fat, non-truncal fat, fat-free mass (FFM)], and CV functional (blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, arterial elasticity) and structural (carotid intima-media thickness, retinal arteriolar/venular caliber) outcomes. …”

Precision holography and supersymmetric theories on curved spaces by Genolini, P

“…We may then formulate a precise check of the holographic dictionary by asking whether the dual holographic observables are similarly invariant, as the free energy of the gauge theory is identified with the holographically renormalized supergravity action.…”

Our weapons, our problem: arms exports, democracy and civil society in Brazil and the UK by de Moraes, RF

“…The causal mechanism is in part explained by activities conducted by norm entrepreneurs, whose emergence is facilitated by the existence of institutions commonly found in democratic countries, especially a system of checks and balances, contested elections, and political and civil liberties. …”

Correction of errors in tandem mass spectrum extraction enhances phosphopeptide identification by Hao, Piliang, Ren, Yan, Sze, Siu Kwan, Tam, James P.

“…Comparison of the top three free extraction tools showed that only 54% of the identified spectra were identified consistently from all three tools, indicating that some errors might happen during spectrum extraction. Manual check of 258 spectra not identified from all three tools revealed 405 errors of spectrum extraction with 7.4% in selecting wrong precursor charge, 50.6% in selecting wrong precursor mass, and 42.1% in exporting MS/MS fragments. …”

Differences in pulse manifestations at Cunkou based on simplified modeling of tactile sensing by Shi, Yubing, Yang, Hongyi, Yeo, Joon Hock

“…Some researchers mentioned that no significant differences were observed in pulse manifestations at various Cunkou areas, hence there might be some difficulty in evaluating the status of different organs through checking pulse manifestations at Cunkou. This research aims to analyze the pulse response at Cunkou from the aspect of the characteristics of tactile sensing, thus to give a preliminary explanation to the above question. …”
