Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Architecture-An Alternative To Application-Specific Digital Signal Processing ArchitecturesN. Ramadass, S. Natarajan, J. Raja Paul PerinbamEmerging trends in design of real-time digital signal processing systems indicate that in the future, a significant amount of performance improvement can be achieved using dynamically reconfigurable embedded architectures consisting of reconfigurable, general-purpose components. Although embedded real-time systems have long been prevailing in our society, no firm scientific base has been established yet to handle timing requirements in a systematic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,727 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Reconfigurable Execution Core for Merged DSP MicrocontrollerA. K. Rath, P. K. MeherThe study presents an execution core which can be reconfigured either for calculation of digital convolution or for computation of discrete orthogonal transform by appropriate local buffer initialization of processing cells. It is shown that the data flow pattern can be changed by a single bit control signal. The proposed core can be connected to port 1 of Intel 8051 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Power Hardware Implementation of High Speed FFT CoreM. Kannan, S. K. SrivatsaApplications based on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) such as signal and image processing require high computational power. This paper proposes the implementation of radix-4 based parallel-pipelined Fast Fourier Transform processor which incorporates a low power commutator, butter-fly with multiplier-less architecture. The proposed parallel pipelined architectures have the advantages of high throughput and low power consumption. The multiplier-less architecture uses shift … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,227 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Environmental and Health Impacts of High Land Application of Cheese WheyA. E. Ghaly, N.S. Mahmoud, D.G. Rushton, F. ArabA laboratory scale experiment was carried out to study the transformation and transport of nitrogenous compounds in soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey (twice the nitrogen requirement for crops). The experimental apparatus consists of 36 soil columns constructed of 20 cm inside diameter PVC pipes. Three types of soil (sandy loam, loam and sandy clay loam) and three … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntisporulant Activity of Watery Extracts of Plants against Sclerospora graminicola Causing Downy Mildew Disease of Pearl MilletS.A. Deepak, G. Oros, S. G. Sathyanarayana et al.Watery extracts of forty plant species commonly growing in across India have been screened for antisporulant activity against Sclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) Schroet., the causative agent of pearl millet downy mildew. The collection represented 38 genera of 30 families. The extracts of thirteen species did not show any effect, whereas the activity of extracts of Allium sativum, Clematis gouriana, Evolvulus alsinoides, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Merged DSP Microcontroller for Embedded Systems using Discrete Orthogonal TransformA. K. Rath, P. K. MeherIn this paper we have proposed the design of a DSP microcontroller where the processor load is significantly reduced by relegating the math-intensive DSP algorithm to dedicated transform computing modules. It is shown that the use of such transform modules will facilitate scalability, reusability and flexibility for implementation of wide varieties of DSP functionalities. Moreover, it would be possible to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a High-Performance IP Switching ArchitectureHattab Guesmi, Belgacem Bouallegue, Ridha Djemal, Rached TourkiIn this study we present the architecture for use in high-performance switching networks with support quality of service (QoS) guarantees. Quality of services guarantees in terms of delay, through-put and loss rate can be provided by using mechanism's support like scheduling and buffer management at switching architecture in packet switching networks. Our architecture is based on a new data structure … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of a New Device, Automated Shower head on Water Conservation in Bath ShowersM. Shamsi, G. H.S. BonjarIn cosmopolitan areas and big cities of the world, shortage of drinking water during the peaks of consumption hours is a noticeable problem. Many people may not have piped water during these critical hours especially in summer times. To minimize this problem, an electronic control valve was designed and developed which saved about 70% of water in each showering session … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,201 accessesView PDFCite
