Phosphorus supplementation increases thermic response to glucose solution in healthy lean subjects by Bassil, Maya

“…We hypothesised that the addition of P to a glucose load would enhance ATP production resulting in an increase in TEF. To test this hypothesis, we measured the TEF of glucose solution with or without P in seven healthy subjects (3M 4F; Age=21.1±0.8y; BMI= 23.2 ±1.3kg/m2) in a cross over design with 1 week washout period. …”

A 28 nm CMOS 10 bit 100 MS/s Asynchronous SAR ADC with Low-Power Switching Procedure and Timing-Protection Scheme by Fang Tang (116243)

“…Several techniques are adopted in the proposed switching procedure to achieve better linearity, power and area efficiency. A single-side-fixed technique is utilized to reduce the number of capacitors; a parallel split capacitor array in combination with a partially thermometer coded technique can minimize the switching energy, improve speed, and decrease differential non-linearity (DNL). …”
