This paper addresses the design of complex arbitration modules, like those required in SoC communication systems. Clock-less, delay-insensitive arbiters are studied in the perspective of making easier and more practical the design of future GALS or GALA SoCs. The paper focuses on high-level modeling and delay-insensitive implementations of fixed and dynamic priority arbiter. Pre-layout simulati...

orchard intensification is motivated by the desire to produce fruit early in the life of the orchard to rapidly recover establishment costs. intensification is possible using dwarfing rootstocks that control tree size, induce early cropping and produce large quantities of fruit compared to the amount of wood produced. therefore, this study attempts to compare some yield and fruit properties of ...

Most Proteus lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) contain uronic acids or their amides with different amino acids, which together with other negatively charged components account for the acidic character of such LPS molecules. Previous studies have shown the significance of an amide of galacturonic acid with lysine [D-GalA(L-Lys)] for serological specificity of O-antigens from few P. mirabilis strains. I...

A superimposed experiment was conducted at Gircha, Chencha district, Southern Ethiopia to determine the effect of four rootstocks on leaf nutrient concentration five apple cultivars. The laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data concentrations were collected and analyzed using SAS software. Results revealed that scion-rootstock interaction significantly...
