Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

16.4K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Compacting Factor test01:22

Compacting Factor test

578
The compacting factor test is a method used to assess the workability of concrete. It is  especially suitable for concrete mixes containing aggregates up to one and a half inches in size. This test involves specialized equipment consisting of two truncated cone-shaped hoppers and a cylinder, all with polished interior surfaces to minimize friction.
The procedure begins by placing concrete into the upper hopper without any compaction. Once filled, the bottom door of this hopper is opened,...

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.7K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Mixing Concrete01:30

Mixing Concrete

381
Concrete mixing ensures a homogenous blend where aggregates are well-coated with cement paste. Concrete mixing is typically done using two main types of mixers: batch and continuous. Batch mixers handle one batch at a time, thoroughly combining materials before discharging and receiving the next batch. In contrast, continuous mixers receive a steady flow of ingredients, mixing them consistently and discharging without interruption. Within batch mixers, tilting drum mixers mix with internal...

Mixing Time01:19

Mixing Time

475
The concept of mixing time is significant in producing a uniform concrete mix with the required strength. The mixing period starts once all components are in the mixer. Initially, the mixer is charged with 10% of the water, followed by the consistent addition of solids and then 80% of the water. The remaining water is added later, within the first quarter of the mixing period. The minimum mixing time varies according to the mixer's capacity; for example, mixers with up to 1 cubic yard...

Area of Science:

  • Mixed-signal integrated circuit design
  • Photon detection technologies
  • Semiconductor device physics

Background:

  • Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) sensors are crucial for sensitive light detection.
  • Existing front-end electronics can face limitations in precision and pile-up for time-resolved applications.
  • Compact and efficient sensor interfaces are needed for advanced photon detection systems.

  • To develop a robust and power-efficient interface compatible with modern timing architectures.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation in AMS 0.35 µm CMOS technology featuring two independent analog channels.
  • Integration of custom second-generation current conveyors (CCII+), a fast zero-crossing discriminator, and a peak-and-hold stage.
  • Development of a custom SiPM behavioral model in Cadence for design and simulation, alongside SPI-configurable DACs for control.

Main Results:

  • The ASIC architecture enables precise detection of small signals and reduces pile-up.
  • Circuit-level simulations confirm correct analog functionality and stable operation across the dynamic range.
  • Per-channel power consumption is approximately 5.9 mA at 3.3 V (19.5 mW), balancing speed and robustness.

  • The developed mixed-signal front-end ASIC provides an effective solution for SiPM sensor interfacing.
  • The design facilitates accurate time-resolved photon detection with improved signal integrity.
  • The ASIC's low-impedance current reception and fast discrimination capabilities are key advantages for timing applications.
