This paper describes how to extend the performance of a highly energy efficient general purpose DSP by generating accelerators using C-level algorithm descriptions. The result is an equally energy efficient, economical implementation of that algorithm or algorithms.

A wider application of siRNA- and miRNA- based therapeutics is restricted by the currently available delivery systems. We have designed a new type of small molecule carrier (SMoC) system for siRNA modeled to interact with cell surface proteoglycans. This bifurcated SMoC has similar affinity for the model proteoglycan heparin to an equivalent polyarginine peptide and exhibits significant mRNA kn...

Detailed profile of the context formation process in EBCOT is analyzed to get an insight into the characteristics of the ope...

This paper proposes an integrated solution for smart delivery of video surveillance data. The system is developed within the IST project WCAM "Wireless Cameras and AudioVisual Seamless Networking" which is presented as well [1]. The main feature of our system is it includes smart video coding based on automatic scene analysis and understanding. Specifically, the segmentation results are used fo...

This paper proposes a quantization-based image-quality guaranteed watermarking (IQGW) method using a nonorthogonal discrete wavelet transformation. An IQGW method generates watermarked images of a desired image quality for any image, neither with trial and error nor with image-dependent parameters. To guarantee the image-quality, the proposed method adjusts the energy of the watermark sequence ...

The aim of the present study was to employ RNA interference (RNAi) technology to construct and select shRNA-Nanog recombinant plasmids for the inhibition of Nanog gene expression and transfer these plasmids into the human gastric cancer cell line, SGC-7901, as well as to detect the expression of Nanog and the effects on the proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle and apoptosis of SGC-790...

Tricyclo (tc)-DNA belongs to the class of conformationally constrained DNA analogs that show enhanced binding properties to DNA and RNA. We prepared tc-oligonucleotides up to 17 nt in length, and evaluated their binding efficiency and selectivity towards complementary RNA, their biological stability in serum, their RNase H inducing potential and their antisense activity in a cellular assay.
