The myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) is a prominent protein kinase C (PKC) substrate in brain that is expressed highly in hippocampal granule cells and their axons, the mossy fibers. Here, we examined hippocampal infrapyramidal mossy fiber (IP-MF) limb length and spatial learning in heterozygous Macs mutant mice that exhibit an '50% reduction in MARCKS expression relative ...

Bit-serial multiply-accumulate units (MACs) play a crucial role in various hardware accelerator applications, including deep learning, image processing, and signal processing. Despite the advantages of bit-serial MACs, such as small footprint, full utilization, high frequency, their serial nature can lead to latency potentially compromised performance. This study investigates potential solution...

To calculate the reaction rate in neutron capture processes it is common to work with Maxwellian Average Cross Section (MACS), defined as scaled by most probable velocity of Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. For MACS determination lower uncertainties, need a spectrum similar possible stellar one motivates this work. At CN Van der Graaff accelerator LNLINFN laboratories, an experimental measuremen...

A one-way hash function is an important cryptographic primitive for digital signatures and authentication. Recently much work has been done toward construction of other cryptographic algorithms (e.g., MACs) using hash functions. In particular, such algorithms would be easy to implement with existing codes of hash functions if they are used as a black box without modiication. In this paper we pr...

We propose and investigate the notion of aggregate message authentication codes (MACs) which have the property that multiple MAC tags, computed by (possibly) different senders on multiple (possibly different) messages, can be aggregated into a shorter tag that can still be verified by a recipient who shares a distinct key with each sender. We suggest aggregate MACs as an appropriate tool for au...

Under the Kyoto Protocol the European Union agreed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by 8 percent. The Burden-Sharing Agreement (BSA) redistributes the reduction target among the member states. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the BSA. To determine if cost efficiency was considered, marginal abatement costs (MACs) are first calculated based on an estimation of the directional outp...
