Modeling and Simulation Aided Verification of Analog/Mixed-Signal Circuits Scott Little and Chris Myers University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA {little,myers}@vlsigroup.ece.utah.edu Abstract. Analog/Mixed-signal (AMS) circuit verification is a growing problem as process variation increases and AMS circuits become more functionally complex. To improve analog verification flows, AMS cir...

Background and objectives: Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are targets for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in vivo and in vitro. However, only a minority ofAMs are permissive to acute RSV infection in vitro, and it is unknown whether this permissiveness may be related to the degree of cellular maturation that is achieved in vivo. Methods: By using density gradient centrifugation, in whic...

To investigated the objective indicators and potential genotypes for acute mountain sickness (AMS). 176 male subjects were evaluated for symptoms scores and physiological parameters at 3700 m. EPAS1 gene polymorphisms were explored and verified effects of potential genotypes on pulmonary function by inhaled budesonide. The incidence of AMS was 53.98% (95/176). The individuals who suffered from ...

Reidy, Michael F., and Jo Rae Wright. Surfactant protein A enhances apoptotic cell uptake and TGF1 release by inflammatory alveolar macrophages. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 285: L854–L861, 2003. First published June 6, 2003; 10.1152/ajplung.00439.2002.—The phagocytosis of apoptotic inflammatory cells by alveolar macrophages (AMs) is a key component of inflammation resolution within the a...

The main purpose of this study was to validate an Italian version of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS). A sample of 618 high school students completed the Italian translation of the AMS, also indicating their intentions to persist in versus drop out of school and their performance in a series of exams. Results of a confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the five-factor structure of the AMS an...

The objective of this research, was to quantify sustainability indicators of organic dairy farms using Automatic Milking Systems (AMS), and a comparative group of organic dairy farms using conventional milking systems (CMS). Milk yield per cow was higher for AMS farms but did not result in higher net return to management. Nitrogen surplus per ha of available land was higher for AMS farms, Anima...

The Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator (VERA) is a dedicated facility for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), operated at the University of Vienna since 1996. The principle of AMS with VERA and the advantage of measuring long-lived radioisotopes by atom counting (AMS) rather than decay counting (ß decay) is described. A brief overview on AMS applications is also presented.
