This paper introduces a new environment for developing distributed systems. It is based on the TURTLE UML profile. Analysis and design phases, described in previous papers, have been extended with an additional deployment phase. In this new step, TURTLE components are deployed over hardware execution nodes, and nodes are connected together throughout links. TURTLE deployment diagrams are given ...

Streams are infinite sequences. The simplest streams that are not ultimately periodic are morphic streams: fixed points of particular morphisms mapping single symbols to strings of symbols. A most basic way to visualize a stream is by a turtle curve: for every alphabet symbol fix an angle, and then proceed the stream elements by drawing unit segments and turn the corresponding angle. This paper...

Lutz, Peter L., and Liscia Manuel. Maintenance of adenosine A1 receptor function during long-term anoxia in the turtle brain. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 45): R633–R636, 1999.—It has been established that adenosine has a critical role in the extraordinary ability of the turtle brain to survive anoxia. To further investigate this phenomenon we compared rat and turt...

Whole cell recording techniques were employed to measure whole cell (Gw) and specific membrane (Gm) conductance in turtle and rat pyramidal neurons in slices. Results indicate that rat neurons are 4.2 times more conductive compared with turtle neurons at 25 degrees C, which is accentuated by temperature, so that rat neurons at 37 degrees C are 22 times more conductive than turtle neurons at 15 ...

Green turtle fibropapillomatosis is a neoplastic disease of increasingly significant threat to the survivability of this species. Degenerate PCR primers that target highly conserved regions of genes encoding herpesvirus DNA polymerases were used to amplify a DNA sequence from fibropapillomas and fibromas from Hawaiian and Florida green turtles. All of the tumors tested (n = 23) were found to ha...

To better understand the role of radial glial (RG) cells in the evolution of the mammalian cerebral cortex, we investigated the role of RG cells in the dorsal cortex and dorsal ventricular ridge of the turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans. Unlike mammals, the glial architecture of adult reptile consists mainly of ependymoradial glia, which share features with mammalian RG cells, and which may cont...
