Morris Library is the cornerstone that allows Southern Illinois University Carbondale to fulfill its core mission of teaching and research—it is a major educational force in the region, state, and nation. The breadth and depth of the Library's collection assists the University in attracting the brightest students and extraordinary faculty. The Library's facilities, services, and holdings are ut...

In recent years, a number of games have been solved using computers. These include Qubic [Patashnik 80], Connect-4 [Allen 89], [Allis 88] and Go-Moku [Allis 93]. All these games were solved using knowledge-based methods. These methods are successful because all these games have a low “decision complexity” [Allis 90], i.e., the right move is often easy to find. Not all games profit to the same e...

Smooth microsomal cell membranes were isolated by density gradient centrifugation from normal rat liver and from the well-differentiated Morris hepatoma 5123C. The proteins were then extracted from the smooth membrane fraction and compared on acrylamide gel by the split-gel technique and by coelectrophoresis of dually labeled proteins. This analysis revealed the lack of two liver membrane compo...

In this paper a novel VLSI implementation is proposed to emulate ion channels gating dynamics of neurons. The technique is demonstrated by implementing K ion channels of a Morris-Lecar (ML) neuron model. The circuit emulates the opening and closing of 256 individual ion channels and is implemented in 0.18μm CMOS technology. Simulation results indicate that the circuit consumes 2.7μA from a 0.8V...
