A Second-Order True-VCO ADC Employing a Digital Pseudo-DCO Suitable for Sensor Arrays.

This paper explores the implementation of a VCO-based ADC, achieving an ENOB of 12 bits with 1 MHz of a sampling rate in the audio bandwidth. The solution exploits the scalability and PVT invariance of a novel digital-to-frequency converter to reduce the size and consumed power. The architecture has been validated in a 130 nm CMOS technology node displaying a power consumption of 105.

Design and development of nanoprobes radiolabelled with Tc for the diagnosis and monitoring of therapeutic interventions in oncology preclinical research.

Background: Previous studies employing polymeric micelles and molecular imaging for in vivo nanosystem characterization have led to the development of radionanoprobes (RNPs) designed for diagnosing and monitoring therapeutic interventions in preclinical oncology research, specifically within breast and colon cancer models. These models exhibit high GLUT1 expression on tumor cells and VEGFR expression on the tumor vasculature. We aimed to enhance the tumor-targeting specificity of these RNPs by functionalizing micelles with glucose and bevacizumab.

Analysis of the intensity of engagement with , a text message intervention for dementia caregiver support among Latinos/as.

Objectives: To examine the associations between participant intensity of engagement with a text message intervention, , and socio-demographic factors, acceptability measures, and clinical outcomes among Latino/a caregivers of individuals with dementia.

Methods: is a six-month, bilingual, and bidirectional intervention. We enrolled 24 Latino/a caregivers in a one-arm feasibility trial.

Evaluation of intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting pregnancy rate in dual-purpose cows under tropical conditions.

Embryo transfer (ET) in bovines was created with the purpose of increasing the pregnancy rate (PR) of animals with high genetic value; however, multiple factors have been found to affect the success of this reproductive biotechnology. These factors are frequently grouped in intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Thus, the objective of the present experiments was to assess the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the pregnancy rate under tropical conditions.
