It is well known that the addition of spermine or spermidine to culture medium containing ruminant serum inhibits cellular proliferation. This effect is caused by the products of oxidation of polyamines that are generated by serum amine oxidase. Among the products, we found that acrolein is a major toxic compound produced from spermine and spermidine by amine oxidase. We then analysed the level...

In this paper we present a 2μW temperature compensated on-chip digitally controlled oscillator and a 70nW uncompensated, ultra low power oscillator. The temperature compensated oscillator has a temperature stability of 8ppm/C while uncompensated oscillator has a stability of 4%/C. The uncompensated oscillator is calibrated using stable oscillator often to achieve high effective temperature stab...

objective: propolis is a resinous material produced by honeybees that has recently gained fame as an antimicrobial agent. this study sought to assess the effects of propolis as an intra-canal medicament on tooth discoloration. the effect of its application technique on the degree of discoloration was investigated as well. methods: this experimental study was conducted on 40 intact anterior huma...

All Digital Phase locked loops (ADPLL) plays a major role in System on Chips (SoC). Many EDA tools are used to design such complicated ADPLLs. It operates on two modes such as frequency acquisition mode and phase acquisition mode. Frequency acquisition mode is faster compared to Phase acquisition, hence frequency synthesis is performed. The CMOS technology is used to design such a complex desig...

Many business models for smart products, like pay-per-use, require that the smart product can digitally verify whether the user has a contract with the smart product and should be granted access to privileged functionality. Traditional means to do so, e.g. password login, are very obtrusive and can thus not be applied for smart product scenarios. In this paper, we present the mechanism of assoc...

Scree patterns are an important element of mountain maps in Swiss style. The size and density of scree dots vary with the exposition towards a source of illumination, which makes the dots extremely labour intensive to map without specialized algorithms. This paper identifies design principles for the symbolisation of scree fields on mountain slopes and presents a digital method for the quick pl...

Limited to the structure of traditional light-emitting devices, electronic devices that can directly convert machine language into human visual information without introducing any back-end circuit are still not easy achieve. Based on a specially designed three-phase co-planar electrode structure, new type alternating current driven organic device with integration emission and control functions,...
