This paper suggests a reusable hardware template (HT) for finite state machines (FSM) and a method for the synthesis of FSMs based on such a template. The HT is a circuit with a predefined structure that has already been implemented in hardware (for example, in FPGA). By reprogramming its RAM-blocks we can implement a different functionality of the FSM. The proposed method permits the translati...

Foot-and-mouth disease is one of the most contagious diseases of animal livestock. We used statistical tools to explore the dynamics of epidemics and to evaluate the consequences of virus reintroduction in France. We developed a stochastic farm-based model adapted to the French farm structure from previous modeling works following the 2001 epidemic in the United Kingdom. This model depends upon...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of probiotic soymilk fortified with omega-3 in diabetic rats. METHODS Soymilk (SM), fermented soymilk (FSM), and fermented soymilk fortified with omega-3 (FSM + omega-3) were prepared. Rats were randomly assigned to five groups of 13 animals per group. Diabetes was induced by a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ) 15 min a...

The increasing popularity of game industry has motivated some exploratory research in mobile games technology. This maturing technology, provided with complex functionality in development process requires software analyst to measure the size of mobile application properly, which relatively affect the software development cost and duration. Expert judgement is used in most of the mobile applicat...

Introduction A significant part of digital circuits is constituted by sequential synchronous circuits behaviour of which can be presented by a finite state machine (FSM). So nothing strange the FSM synthesis methods are continually developed (cf. the monographs [14, 19] or [17, 8]). One of the most crucial steps in FSM synthesis is the encoding of FSM states referred to as the state assignment ...

Feature Space Mapping (FSM) model is based on a network explicitly modeling probability distribution of the input/output data vectors. New theoretical developments of this model and results of applications to several classification problems are presented.

Modern agriculture features industrialization, marketized industrial structure, intensive production pattern and high digitization; farm produce logistics are characterized by wide range, large quantity, relative independence, consumable as well as value-added processing. In this study, in view of the features of modern agriculture and farm produce logistics, a SCOR model (Supply-Chain Operatio...
