In the last decades, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have become increasingly important to the electronics industry, offering higher performance and lower power consumption as transistor technology continues to scale down.Machine learning (ML) algorithms have become pivotal in the electronic design automation (EDA) of FPGAs, enabling the lea
Abstract Background Paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) associated with copyright has been shown to enhance genital reflexes (penile erection-PE Mattress Protector and ejaculation-EJ) in Wistar rats.Since hypertension predisposes males to erectile dysfunction, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of PSD on genital reflexes in
