The memory system is a major bottleneck in achieving high performance and energy efficiency for various processing platforms. This thesis aims to improve memory performance and energy efficiency of data intensive applications through a two-pronged approach which combines a formal representation framework and a hardware substrate that can efficiently reorganize data in memory. The proposed forma...

A complex of human alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid (HAMLET) was originally isolated from human milk as a potent anticancer agent. It kills a wide range of transformed cells of various origins while leaving nontransformed healthy cells largely unaffected both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, purified alpha-lactalbumins from other mammals form complexes with oleic acid that show biological act...

Human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) is a tumoricidal complex consisting of human α-lactalbumin and multiple oleic acids (OAs). OA has been shown to play a key role in the activity of HAMLET and its related complexes, generally known as protein-fatty acid (PFA) complexes. In contrast to what is known about the fate of the protein component of such complexes, information about...

In this research, we have developed the data driven computational walking model to overcome the problem with traditional kinematics based model. Our model is adaptable and can adjust the parameter morphological similar to human. The human walk is a combination of different discrete sub-phases with their continuous dynamics. Any system which exhibits the discrete switching logic and continuous d...

This paper discusses in details a control design approach for hysteretic systems with dynamics. The framework is quite general to embrace several unconventional actuators. In particular, we here propose a method which allows the exploitation of the particular hysteresis characteristic of a specific class of actuators based on magnetic shape memory alloys, namely the so-called push-push actuator...
