Inhibin in rams

Production of inhibin A not B in rams: changes in plasma inhibin A during testis growth, and expression of inhibin/activin subunit mRNA and protein in adult testis.

Previous studies have shown that changes in the plasma concentrations of immunoreactive inhibin measured by radioimmunoassay occur in parallel with growth and regression of the testes during a reproductive cycle in adult Soay rams induced by exposure to an artificial lighting regimen of alternating 16 week periods of long days and short days. With the development of new two-site ELISAs for shee...

Arbitrary Sequence RAMs

It is known that in some cases a Random Access Machine (RAM) benefits from having an additional input that is an arbitrary number, satisfying only the criterion of being sufficiently large. This is known as the ARAM model. We introduce a new type of RAM, which we refer to as the Arbitrary Sequence RAM (ASRAM), that generalises the ARAM by allowing the generation of additional arbitrary large nu...

RAMs and TMs

A word-RAM consists of: • A fixed set of instructions P1, . . . , Pq. Allowed instructions are: – Modular arithmetic and integer division on registers; the standard model for a RAM machine does not have negative numbers, but you can verify that allowing signed integers doesn’t chance the power of the model. – Bitwise operations on registers. – Loading a constant into a register. – Transfering v...

Detection of coupling faults in RAMs

Abstrac t . This article presents results fundamental to the problem of detecting coupling faults in random access memories (RAMs). Good and faulty memories are represented as Mealy automata using the formal framework for sequential machine testing developed by Brzozowski and J/irgensen. A precise description of the coupling fault is used to define two fault models: "general coupling," which is...
