Analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are extensively used in wireless sensor networks and healthcare electronic devices to monitor long-term signal conditions. It is essential prolong battery life these applications by using an energy-efficient ADC. A successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture, mostly composed of digital circuits, can achieve low power under supply voltages [1,2]. Power consumption be decreased either capacitive-DAC switching method [1] or a low-power comparator with...

Assessment of image similarity is fundamentally important to numerous multimedia applications. The goal assessment automatically assess the similarities among images in a perceptually consistent manner. In this paper, we interpret problem as an information fidelity problem. More specifically, propose feature-based approach quantify that present reference and how much can be extracted from test between two images. Here, extract feature points their descriptors image, followed by learning...

Domestication is the long and complex process underlying evolution of crops, in which artificial directional selection transformed wild progenitors into desired form, affecting genomic variation leaving traces at targeted loci. However, whether genes controlling important domestication traits follow same evolutionary pattern expected under standard selective sweep model remains unclear. With whole-genome resequencing mungbean (Vigna radiata), we investigated this issue by resolving its...
