Article Abstract

Because of the exponential increase of sampling rate, time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TIADC) has a fast growth in the high-speed applications. However, the channel mismatch error is a serious challenge for the performance of TIADC. In this article, we address the timing skew mismatch error and propose a novel adaptive calibration method. The principle and operating process of the calibration algorithm are explained. To validate the proposed technique, we designed a four-channel TIADC-based digital oscilloscope with a sampling rate of 10 GS/s. Based on this instrumentation platform, (i) calibration algorithm was implemented by hardware; and (ii) a test platform consisting of advanced instruments and tools was setup to testify the effect and robustness of proposed algorithm. Moreover, the technical details of instrumentation are described for the first time. The experimental results show that the calibration algorithm significantly suppresses the distortions due to timing skew mismatch error. The TIADC-based instrumentation achieves spurious-free dynamic range of 52.48 dB and effective number of bits of 5.83 bit, respectively. Besides, the complexity of the proposed algorithm is compared and discussed.

In holometabolous insects, critical weight (CW) attainment triggers pupation and metamorphosis, but its mechanism remains unclear in non-model organisms like mosquitoes. Here, we investigate the role of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in CW assessment and pupation timing in Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti, vectors of arboviruses including dengue and Zika.

Granulomas, organized aggregates of immune cells which form in response to (), are characteristic but not exclusive of tuberculosis (TB). Despite existing investigations on TB granulomas, the determinants that differentiate host-protective granulomas from granulomas that contribute to TB pathogenesis are often disputed. Thus, the goal of this narrative review is to help clarify the existing literature on such determinants.

Natural populations are composed of individuals that vary in their morphological traits, timing and interactions. The distribution of a trait can be described by several dimensions, or mathematical moments-mean, variance, skew and kurtosis. Shifts in the distribution of a trait across these moments in response to environmental variation can help to reveal which trait values are gained or lost, and consequently how trait filtering processes are altering populations.

Extracting temporal regularities and relations from experience/observation is critical for organisms' adaptiveness (communication, foraging, predation, prediction) in their ecological niches. Therefore, it is not surprising that the internal clock that enables the perception of seconds-to-minutes-long intervals (interval timing) is evolutionarily well-preserved across many species of animals. This comparative claim is primarily supported by the fact that the timing behavior of many vertebrates exhibits common statistical signatures (e.
