 Abstract

The majority of the design efforts for near radix-8 Booth multipliers have so far focused on systems that rely on ASICs. The performance improvement that would be achieved with ASIC-based systems would be far greater than with FPGA-based hardware accelerators when using these multipliers, since they are defined as approximations. Reason being, FPGAs and ASICs are fundamentally different in their architectural concepts. Using high-performance approximation radix-8 Booth multipliers, this short proposes FPGA-based solutions to address this gap. Hence, two approximations of radix-8 Booth multipliers, AxBM1 and AxBM2, are suggested. Utilizing the 6-input lookup tables (LUTs) and supporting carry chains on FPGAs to their maximum potential requires the use of approximation. The delay performance of AxBM2 is 49% better than that of the previous top FPGA-targeted design. By combining truncation with AxBM2's complementary errors function; we were able to obtain energy savings of up to 60%. We can more precisely resolve the previous state-of-the-art error-energy Pareto front and get higher energy gains for any given error constraint. In an example study with the suggested multipliers and Sobel edge detection, AxBM2 was able to detect 98.45 percent of edges while reducing energy consumption by 26.41 percent

 Abstract

A roving survey was conducted to monitor the pesticide residues in honey samples collected from the honeybee colonies kept in onion fields and the markets of Nashik, Pune and Ahmednagar districts of Maharashtra, India during 2023. A total of 30 field samples (10 from each district) and 9 market samples (3 from each district) were collected and analysed for a total of 201 pesticide residues using MRM LC-MS MS. The result indicated that five samples among 39 were detected with the pesticides above quantification limits among which two were market samples. No pesticide residues were found in the samples gathered from Nashik district. However, samples collected from Pune district revealed the presence of spinosad (0.013mg/kg), fipronil (0.275 mg/kg) and carbendazim (0.012mg//kg). In Ahmednagar district, the samples showed the presence of imidacloprid (0.016 mg/kg), IN-J9Z38 (a metabolite of cyantraniliprole) (0.060), and carbendazim (0.018mg/kg). Considering the increasing concern regarding contaminants in food, especially pesticide residues in honey, urgent measures are needed to establish standardized Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides in honey which will play a pivotal role in ensuring food safety and safeguarding public health.
