On the Approximations of CFOA-Based Fractional-Order Inverse Filters

In this paper, three novel fractional-order CFOA-based inverse filters are introduced. The inverse low-pass, high-pass and band-pass responses are investigated using different approximation techniques. The studied approximations for the fractional-order Laplacian operator are the continued fraction expansion and Matsuda approximations. A comparison is held between the ideal filter characteristic

Multiplierless chaotic Pseudo random number generators

This paper presents a multiplierless based FPGA implementation for six different chaotic Pseudo Random Number Generators (PRNGs) that are based on: Chua, modified Lorenz, modified Rössler, Frequency Dependent Negative Resistor (FDNR) oscillator, and other two systems that are modelled using the simple jerk equation. These chosen systems can be employed in high speed applications because they don't

Visible Light Communications Localization Error Enhancement using Parameter Relaxation

In this paper, we propose applying a parameter relaxation technique to the location estimation algorithm that is based on the Received Signal Strength (RSS) of Visible Light Communications (VLC). A hybrid system of localization balancing is introduced, where the localization algorithm is developed with and without this efficient parameter relaxation. The results show that applying the parameter

Genotypic characterization of multiple drug resistant Escherichia coli isolates from a pediatric cancer hospital in Egypt

Infection with multiple drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli poses a life threat to immunocompromised pediatric cancer patients. Our aim is to genotypically characterize the plasmids harbored in MDR E. coli isolates recovered from bacteremic patients of Children’s Cancer Hospital in Egypt 57357 (CCHE 57357). In this study, 21 carbapenem-resistant E. coli (CRE) isolates were selected that exhibit

Fully balanced LED driving circuit for optogenetics stimulation

Implantable probes with built-in light emitters have a promising potential for a range of applications, in particular optogenetic neural stimulation. However, where soft encapsulation methods are used, lifetime will be a function of the quality of encapsulation and the driving mechanism. We have found that a balanced driving mechanism - whereby the integral voltage on encapsulated contacts, can
