Open Access research that helps to deliver "better medicines"...

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS), a major research centre in Scotland and amongst the UK's top schools of pharmacy.

Research at SIPBS includes the "New medicines", "Better medicines" and "Better use of medicines" research groups. Together their research explores multidisciplinary approaches to improve understanding of fundamental bioscience and identify novel therapeutic targets with the aim of developing therapeutic interventions, investigation of the development and manufacture of drug substances and products, and harnessing Scotland's rich health informatics datasets to inform stratified medicine approaches and investigate the impact of public health interventions.

Abstract

Speckled Computing is a novel vision of a wireless sensor network consisting of small nodes which can sense, compute and network wirelessly. The nodes will individually have limited power and processing resources, but together will form a powerful processing system. Electrical power resources at such a volume are severely restricted, and as such design decisions are made with low-power as the first priority. This work examines the use of Manchester encoding in the digital transceiver to reduce the complexity of symbol synchronisation. A Manchester decoder has been implemented which has the useful property of being tolerant to oscillator inaccuracies, allowing a cheap and low-power clock source to be employed. A realistic implementation of the decoder using rectangular pulseshaping and an oversampling ratio of 8 allows an on-chip oscillator tolerance of more than 11%.
