With the increasing non-recurring engineering cost of advanced process technologies, reconfigurable devices have received great attention in small and medium-volume integrated circuit designs. However, low logic diversity and slow timing performance limit the efficacy of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and complex programmable logic device (CPLD). In this paper, we propose an efficient hyb...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A well-monitored diet with a sufficient intake of fruits and vegetables has been confirmed as a primary prevention of CVD. Plant constituents such as flavonoids have been shown to confer healthy benefits. Luteolin (Lut), a kind of flavonoid, possesses anti-oxidative, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory...

In this paper, an efficient algorithm for optimizing the size of a LUT required for the direct storage of complex computational values and a FIR System based on optimized LUT is implemented. So far, many algorithms have been implemented for optimizing Look-up-tables (substitute the multiply and accumulate structures contained in FPGAs) of DSP cores in FPGAs. In this paper, a new method “A-OMS L...

Amyloid formation of the plasma protein transthyretin (TTR) has been linked to familial amyloid polyneuropathy and senile systemic amyloidosis. Binding of ligands within its natural hormone binding site can stabilize the tetrameric structure and impair amyloid formation. We have recently shown that the flavonoid luteolin stabilizes TTR in human plasma with a very high selectivity. Luteolin, how...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of descending serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways on nociception in the lower urinary tract (LUT). METHODS Female Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Following intraperitoneal administration of Vehicle or Milnacipran (30 mg/kg), which is one of serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), 0.1% AA was infused into the bladder in normal (n = 4, each) a...

Understanding autism's ever-expanding array of behaviors, from sensation to cognition, is a major challenge. We posit that autistic and typically developing brains implement different algorithms that are better suited to learn, represent, and process different tasks; consequently, they develop different interests and behaviors. Computationally, a continuum of algorithms exists, from lookup tabl...

groundwater quality regarding major anions and cations in the birjand plain located in the largest desert in eastern iran was monitored in this study. fifteen boreholes were considered as sampling stations and the parameters ph, tds, ec and major anions and cations were measured in groundwater samples. the dominant groundwater types can be introduced as sodium-chloride and magnesium-sulphate. t...

A method is proposed that focused on reducing the chip area occupied by logic elements creating circuit of Mealy finite state machines (FSMs). The aimed at FSM circuits implemented with internal resources field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA). required estimated number look-up table (LUT) in a particular circuit. based mutual application two methods structural decomposition. first them dividing...

We focus on a recently proposed regression framework termed lattice regression, as applied to the construction of multidimensional color management look-up tables from empirical measurements. The key idea of lattice regression is that the construction of a look-up table should take into account the interpolation function used in its final implementation. Lattice regression solves for the look-u...
