The Time-Triggered Protocol (TTP) has been presented as a suitable real-time communication protocol for use within electronic systems that permits the successful operation of safety critical applications. This paper details the implementation of a system that simulates the Time Triggered Protocol created from the official TTP/C specification. The system that was built demonstrates the inaccurac...

We have investigated whether UV-induced mutations are created with equal efficiency on the leading and lagging strands of DNA replication. We employed an assay system that permits measurement of mutagenesis in the lacZ gene in pairs of near-identical strains. Within each pair, the strains differ only in the orientation of the lacZ gene with respect to the origin of DNA replication. Depending on...

This paper firstly recalls the parameters that need to be known in order to develop and apply a general methodology for the dimensioning of continuously variable V-belt transmissions. A description of the experimental system object of this paper is then provided, which permits the testing of CVT transmissions in the most wide-ranging operating conditions, making it possible to measure numerous ...
