TL;DR: In an urbanized setting in Pakistan, 14 nightmare sufferers (NS) were compared with 14 control dreamers (CD) on the standard scales of the MMPI (Urdu) as well as on self-reported ratings of dream content and sleep problems as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In an urbanized setting in Pakistan, 14 nightmare sufferers (NS) were compared with 14 control dreamers (CD) on the standard scales of the MMPI (Urdu) as well as on self-reported ratings of dream content and sleep problems. These subjects were selected on a volunteer basis. Although the average MMPI profile of both groups was within the normal range (between T scores of 40 and 60), the nightmare sufferers obtained significantly higher scores on 7 of 10 clinical scales; the largest differences were on the psychasthenia, paranoia, and schizophrenia scales. Results are interpreted in light of the Pakistani cultural context.

TL;DR: By allowing the users to modify range and delay, the reconfigurable processor on-chip helps DSP(s) exploit more of the parallelism found in digital signal processing applications, thus improving the processor's overall performance.
Abstract: In a variety of signal processing applications, nowadays, the use of radar for advanced control has become a necessity, e.g., navigational systems, aircraft, automobiles and other sensing devices. A normal microprocessor based radar signal processor eats a lot of processing power and time so we have proposed the implementation of a dynamically reconfigurable pulsed Doppler radar in a mixed system comprising a digital signal processor (DSP) and FPGA to perform linear frequency modulation, Gaussian noise filtering, downconversion, pulse compression (matched filtering) and pulsed Doppler processing. Allowing the users to modify range and delay, the reconfigurable processor on-chip helps DSP(s) exploit more of the parallelism found in digital signal processing applications, thus improving the processor's overall performance.
