In this paper, a central pattern generator (CPG) model based on asynchronous coupling of cellular automaton (CA) phase oscillators for hexapod robot is presented. The presented CPG composed the CA whose discrete state transitions are triggered by multiple clocks. Then, evaluation functions to quantify synchronization states target gait patterns in introduced. Analyzing synchronizations using fu...

We present a feedback control scheme to stabilize unstable cellular patterns during the directional solidification of a binary alloy. The scheme is based on local heating of cell tips which protrude ahead of the mean position of all tips in the array. The feasibility of this scheme is demonstrated using phase-field simulations and, experimentally, using a real-time image processing algorithm, t...

The conversion of normal cellular prion protein to disease-associated prion protein (PrP(Sc)) is a fundamental component of prion disease pathogenesis. The molecular mechanisms contributing to prion conversion and the impact of PrP(Sc) accumulation on cellular biology are not fully understood. To further define the molecular changes associated with PrP(Sc) accumulation in cultured cells, the tr...

A principal limitation in accuracy for scientific computation performed with floatingpoint arithmetic may be traced to the computation of repeated sums, such as those which arise in inner products. As previously reported, a systolic super summer is a cellular piece of hardware for the summation of floating-point numbers. The apparatus receives floating-point summands, converting them into a fix...

cellular and molecular anesthesia: from bench to bedside in the current practice of anesthesia, each day, anesthesiologists deal with a great work: they use the cellular mechanisms of drug molecules to induce their desired effects for induction and maintenance of anesthesia to achieve appropriate tolerance of surgery and its pain, modulation of stress response, sedation needed for performing a ...

Intracellular protein-protein interactions are dynamic events requiring tightly regulated spatial and temporal checkpoints. But how are these spatial and temporal cues integrated to produce highly specific molecular response patterns? A helpful analogy to this process is that of a cellular map, one based on the fleeting localization and activity of various coordinating proteins that direct a wi...

Our previous studies revealed that pregnancy associated breast cancer (PABC) had significantly reduced nuclear p63 expression in myoepithelia, while intense cytoplasmic p63 expression in associated epithelia. Our current study assessed these epithelia using immunohistochemistry with a panel of aggressiveness and invasiveness related markers and comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) with...

The current wireless cellular base station antenna system employs switched beam technology which suffers from its inefficiency to track the user and limited capacity. The Smart antenna technology which tracks the mobile user continuously by steering the main beam towards the user and at the same time forming nulls in the directions of the interfering signal. The development of smart antennas in...

Mutations in DNA replication initiator genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes lead to a pleiotropic array of phenotypes, including defects in chromosome segregation, cytokinesis, cell cycle regulation and gene expression. For years, it was not clear whether these diverse effects were indirect consequences of perturbed DNA replication, or whether they indicated that DNA replication initiator p...
