In this paper, we describe a chip design technique for instrumentation amplifier using a nested-chopping technique. Conventional chopping technique uses a pair of chopper, but nested chopping technique uses two pairs of chopper to reduce residual offset and 1/f noise. The inner chopper pair removes the 1/f noise, while the outer chopper pair reduces the residual offset. Our instrumentation amplifier using a nested chopping technique has residual offset under 100 nV. We also implement very low frequency filter. Since this filter needs very large RC time constant, we use a technique named 'diode connected PMOS' to increase R with small die area. The total power consumption is 3.1 mW at the supply voltage of 3.3V with the 0.35um general CMOS technology. The die area of implemented chip was $530um{\times}300um$.

In this paper, we propose a triple nested PID control scheme for stable hovering of a quadrotor and propose a complementary filter based sensor fusion technique to improve the performance of attitude, altitude and velocity measurement. The triple nested controller has a structure in which a double nested attitude controller that has the angular velocity PD controller in inner loop and the angular PI controller in outer loop, is nested in a velocity control loop to enable stable hovering even in the case of disturbance. We also propose a sensor fusion technique by applying a complementary filter in order to reduce the noise and drift error included in the acceleration and gyro sensor and to measure the velocity by fusing image, gyro, and acceleration sensor. In order to verity the performance, we applied the proposed control and measurement scheme to hovering control of quadrotor.

Loops are some of the richest program constructs where parallelism is available. Exploiting fine-grain parallelizm out these constructs is particularly important in light of the growing popularity of superscalar and VLIW machines. This paper explains how the fine-grain parallelization techniques can be generalized to handle nested loops. Our technique integrates nested loop parallelization techniques at the fine-grain level, thus exposing more fine-grain parallelism, and is flexible enough to handle non-perfectly nested loops. Examples and some experimental results are presented to illustrate our approach.

Local malaria transmission in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) came to an end in 1997. Nevertheless, UAE has been subjected to substantial importation of malaria cases from abroad, concerning both UAE nationals and immigrants from malarious countries with a total number of 2,119 cases in 2007. To evaluate a new DNA extraction technique using nested PCR, blood samples were collected from 132 individuals who presented to Infectious Diseases Department in Rashid Hospital, Dubai, and Central Department of Malaria Control with fever and persistent headache. Giemsa-stained blood films and ELISA test for malaria antibodies were carried out for detection of Plasmodium infection. Plasmodium infections were identified with the genus-specific primer set and species differentiation using nested PCR. A rapid procedure for diagnosis of malaria infections directly from dried blood spots using for the first time DNA extract from FTA Elute cards was evaluated in contrast to extraction techniques using FTA classic cards and rapid boiling technique. Our new simple technique for DNA extraction using FTA Elute cards was very sensitive giving a sensitivity of 100% compared to 94% using FTA classic cards and 62% in the rapid boiling technique. No complex preparation of blood samples was required prior to the amplification. The production cost of DNA isolation in our PCR assay was much less incomparable to that of other DNA extraction protocols. The nested PCR detected plasmodial infection and could differentiate P. falciparum from P. vivax, and also detected the mixed infection.

We report that mycoplasma organisms from lung tissues of slaughter pigs were identified to genes fragments with references use of nested-PCR technique(nPCR). Seven strains of mycoplasma species were isolated from 70 lung tissues. The organisms were detected by in vitro amplification of 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA genes. Nucleotide sequences of the spacer between 16S and 23S in the ribosomal RNA operons of mycoplasma were identified by the analysis of products from the nested PCR. Four common PCR primers, MhF1, MhF2 MhR1 and MhR2, were designed by analysis between these sequences by first amplified with F1, R1 and second with F2, R2, respectively. Specific amplification of the spacer region for reference strains of M. hyopneumoniae, M. hyorhinis, M. flocculare were confirmed by first round of PCR in which the traduced fragments of 690bp, 460bp, 630bp. But amplications of second round was changed to 240bp, 210bp, 230bp, respectively. Three different strains (M. hyopneumoniae:4, M. hyorhinis:2, M. flocculare:1) were detected by the nested-PCR technique. The results suggest that the detection of swine mycoplasma by n-PCR can be analyzed the nucleotide sequences between rRNA operons and homology study.

To develop a simplified method that can rapidly prepare DNA microarray probes in a massive scale, a lambda phage genomic DNA-fragments library was constructed for the microarray-probes collection. Four methods of DNA band recovery from the first PCR products were tested and compared. The DNA microarray probes were collected by a novel method of nested PCR that was mediated by gel isolation of the first PCR products. This method was named GIN-PCR. The probes that were prepared by this GIN-PCR technique were used as subjects to fabricate a DNA microarray. The results showed that a wooden toothpick was superior to the other 3 methods, since this technique can steadily transfer the DNA bands as the template of the second PCR after the first PCR. A group of probes were successfully collected and DNA microarrays were constructed using these probes. Hybridization results demonstrated that this technique of DNA recovery and probe preparation was rapid, efficient, and effective. We developed a cost-effective and less labor-intensive method for DNA microarray probe preparation by nested PCR that is mediated by wooden toothpick transfer of the DNA bands in the gel after electrophoresis.

객체지향 지리정보 데이타베이스 시스템의 설계시 중요한 고려 사항은 저장된 데이타에 대한 좋은 접근 전략을 갖도록 하는 것이다. 객체지향 시스템에서는 이러한 목적으로 여러가지 색인 기법이 개발되었으나, 이러한 기법들은 객체지향 데이타 모델의 집단화 계층이나 상속 계층 중 어느 한 가지만을 고려하는 경우가 대부분이었다. 본 연구에서는 포인터 체인 디렉토리를 이용하여 객체지향 지리 데이터베이스의 집단화 및 상속 계층을 접근하는 데 효율적인 색인 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법의 효용성을 기존의 색인 기법들과 다양하게 비교하였으며, 저장비용과 검색비용 측면에서 그 성능을 시뮬레이션한 결과를 제시하였다.

이단계 이수준 균형지분모형에서 주효과 및 지분효과를 검정하기 위한 모수적 검정과 순위변환을 이용한 검정은 전반적으로 제1종 오류율이 상당히 유사하며, 주효과 및 지분효과를 검정하기 위한 순위변환통계량의 검정력은 모수적 통계량의 검정력보다 상대적으로 뛰어난 수준임을 보여준다. 한편 효과의 크기와 표본의 크기를 증가시킬수록 모수적 통계량과 순위변환 통계량의 검정력 증가량의 크기는 현저하게 향상되며, 특히 지수분포와 같은 비대칭분포하에서 모든 인자가 고정일때 순위변환 통계량의 검정력이 모수적 통계량의 검정력보다 월등히 높은 수준임을 나타낸다.

내포병렬성을 가진 공유메모리 병렬프로그램의 효과적인 디버깅을 위해서, 프로그램의 비결정적 수행을 최초로 초래하는 경합을 효율적으로 탐지하는 것이 중요하다. 이러한 최초경합을 수행 중에 탐지하는 기존의 기법은 두 번의 프로그램 수행을 통해서 탐지하면서 각 공유변수마다 프로그램의 최대병렬성에 의존적인 크기의 접근역사를 유지하므로 비효율적인 수행시간과 기억공간을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 두 번의 프로그램 수행을 통해서 수행 중에 각 공유변수에 대한 접근역사를 상수적 크기로 유지하므로, 각 접근사건의 수행 시에 상수적 복잡도의 사건비교 횟수와 기억 공간만을 요구하는 새로운 최초경합 탐지기법을 제안한다. 그러므로 본 기법은 내포병렬성을 가진 공유메모리 병렬프로그램의 디버깅을 위해서 보다 효율적이고 실용적인 경합탐지를 가능하게 한다

Recently cases of canine distemper have occurred in Korea despite vaccination was carried out nationwidely. This study was performed to establish rapid diagnosis of canine distemper by RT-PCR, nested PCR, and serological test. A total of 30 dogs, which were suspected canine distemper clinically, was examined. RT-PCR and nested PCR were specific for the amplification of CDV H gene and sensitive to detect 7 TCID50 of Onderstepoort strain. By RT-PCR, H gene was detected in 6(20%) of 30 peripheral bloods from dogs. And H gene was detected in 10(33.3%) of 30 samples by nested PCR. H gene was detected from 1 brain of 6 years-old Beagle dog and 1 lung of 2 months-old Shihtzu dog, in which peripheral blood H gene was not detected. Serum neutralizing antibody titer against Onderstepoort strain ranged from 4 to 1,024 in 30 patients. No correlation was observed between the results of nested PCR and titiers of neutralizing antibody.
