This paper describes an implementation of a 2-dimensional DCT processor and shows that the Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous (GALS) approach is highly suitable for implementation of such processors. Primarily the GALS approach increases the design efficiency by using the divide-and-conquer approach. Simulation results on the port controller are presented.

background: inflammatory breast cancer (ibc), a subgroup of locally advanced breast cancer (labc), is diagnosed based on clinical findings, and seems to be different from other types of labc. the purpose of this study was to compare clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes between inflammatory and non-inflammatory labc patients at breast cancer research center (bcrc), tehran, iran. meth...

Locally extended affine Lie algebras were introduced by Morita and Yoshii in [J. Algebra 301(1) (2006), 59-81] as a natural generalization of extended affine Lie algebras. After that, various generalizations of these Lie algebras have been investigated by others. It is known that a locally extended affine Lie algebra can be recovered from its centerless core, i.e., the ideal generated by weight...

Fibrin is degraded by the fibrinolytic system in which a plasminogen activator converts plasminogen to plasmin, a serine protease that cleaves specific bonds in fibrin leading to solubilization. To elucidate further the biophysical processes involved in conversion of insoluble fibers to soluble fragments, fibrin was treated with either plasmin or the combination of plasminogen and plasminogen a...

We investigate shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact abelian group. We show that every shift invariant space can be decomposed as an orthogonal sum of spaces each of which is generated by a single function whose shifts form a Parseval frame. For a second countable locally compact abelian group $G$ we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range funct...

Poor solubility is a well-recognized property of many drug molecules [1]. Unprotected administration of poorly water-soluble drugs is problematic. Aggregation, precipitation, uncontrolled binding, and direct exposure to a harsh biological environment render this process inefficient. The putative ‘solution’ of using higher drug concentrations narrows the window between a therapeutic success and ...
