Design automation in MEDEA: present and future

0272-1732/99/$10.00  1999 IEEE The semiconductor industry has been growing at an unprecedented level since its start in the early 1960s. Capitalizing on the outstanding properties of silicon and its stable oxide permitted the introduction of the CMOS industry, the leading semiconductor industry process. However, the average 15% to 16% annual growth in semiconductor sales has also presented tre...

Medea Genes, Handedness and Other Traits

Medea factors or genes are maternal-effects mechanisms, found in many species, in which the mother’s body selectively kills embryos of a certain genotype. Humans have a similar genetic mechanism, the gene RHD which produces Rh-factor involved in blood type. Recently I proposed that RHD acts as a maternal-effects gene that determines handedness (i.e., right handed or non-right handed) in individ...

This linear system of equations will have a solution only when the vector ~y is contained in the column space of matrix X: that is, when ~y can be expressed as a linear combination of the columns of the matrix X. From a geometric perspective, this will occur when all points (xi, yi) lie precisely on a line. If, however, the points deviate even slightly from a perfect line, then ~y will not be i...
