Gaussian pulse shaping algorithm based on finite impulse response filters by HUANG Haixi, HONG Xu, LIU Junlong, SONG Xinru, LI Lin, ZHOU Chengzhuo

“…Compared to infinite impulse response (IIR) filters, finite impulse response (FIR) filters have the advantage of being less affected by errors and more stable.PurposeThis study aims to propose a FIR filter-based Gaussian pulse shaping algorithm using impulse response functions, and realize a FPGA-based hardware implementation of this algorithm to evaluate the impact of hardware limitations on it.MethodsFirst of all, the discrete impulse response of Gaussian pulse shaping (GPS) was derived by means of impulse response invariant transformation, and shaped pulse waveforms under different quantization accuracies and truncation intervals were obtained using a computer simulation, so did that under Gaussian pulse shaping with or without additional truncation were assessed. …”

The antimicrobial effect of R-limonene and its nano emulsion on Enterococcus faecalis - In vitro study by İlke Doğa Şeker, Tayfun Alaçam, Gülçin Akça, Aysel Yılmaz, Sevgi Takka

“…Statistical analyzes were performed based on the data.Results: Statistically similar efficacy was observed between test materials on the root canal samples. All test materials were significantly more effective than the saline control (p<0.05), however, none of the test materials completely eliminated E. faecalis from root canals.Conclusion: Although the effects of R-limonene on E. faecalis in infected root canals appeared to be like calcium hydroxide, with its broad antibacterial spectrum, gutta-percha softening and cleansing benefits, it was considered that it could considered among antimicrobials that could be used especially in endodontic retreatments alone or in synergistic combinations.…”

Decrease in pneumococcal co-colonization following vaccination with the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. by Carina Valente, Jason Hinds, Francisco Pinto, Silvio D Brugger, Katherine Gould, Kathrin Mühlemann, Hermínia de Lencastre, Raquel Sá-Leão

“…In conclusion, vaccination with PCV7 resulted in a lower co-colonization rate due to an asymmetric distribution between NVTs found in single and co-colonized samples. We propose that some NVTs prevalent in the PCV7 era are more competitive than others, hampering their co-existence in the same niche. …”
