Brain-inspired methods for achieving robust computation in heterogeneous mixed-signal neuromorphic processing systems
Neuromorphic processing systems implementing spiking neural networks with mixed signal analog/digital electronic circuits and/or memristive devices represent a promising technology for edge computing applications that require low power, low latency, and that cannot connect to the cloud for off-line processing, either due to lack of connectivity or
Hepatitis as the presenting symptom of childhood systemic lupus erythematosus
We report in this article a girl with an initial diagnosis of Engine-Driven Welders autoimmune hepatitis who developed full-blown systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at her two-years follow-up.She was formerly considered as HBV-related chronic active hepatitis but due to the persistence of elevated liver enzymes, the reversal of the albumin and glob
The influence of material handling and operational performance on food loss occurrence in the milk supply chain
Food loss occurs during production, handling, and post-harvest processing.Food loss also occurs because the product is under quality and shelf-life over.In addition, the performance and knowledge of farmers also need to be improved to minimize food loss.Food loss in the milk supply chain occurs due to spills, damage, and product contamination cause
