Multimeric protein complexes are required during development to regulate transcription and orchestrate cellular proliferation and differentiation. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) SEUSS (SEU) gene encodes a transcriptional adaptor that shares sequence similarity with metazoan Lim domain-binding transcriptional adaptors. In Arabidopsis, SEU forms a physical complex with the LEUNIG transcri...

This paper addresses the issue of Single-Event Upset (SEU) in quasi delay-insensitive (QDI) asynchronous circuits. We show that an SEU can cause abnormal computations in QDI circuits beside deadlock, and we propose a general method to make QDI circuits SEU-tolerant. We present a simplified SEUtolerant buffer implementations for CMOS technology. Finally, we present a case study of a one-bit comp...

Power consumption has emerged as the premier and most constraining aspect in modern microprocessor and application specific designs. Gate sizing has been shown to be one of the most effective methods for power (and area) reduction in CMOS digital circuits. Recently, as the feature size of logic gates (and transistors) is becoming smaller and smaller, the effect of soft error rates caused by sin...

SRAM based FPGAs are attracting considerable interest especially in aerospace applications due to their high reconfigurability, low cost and availability. However, these devices are strongly susceptible to space radiation effects which are able to cause unwanted single event upsets (SEUs) in the configuration memory. In order to mitigate the SEU effects, various methods have been investigated i...

BACKGROUND The induction of cellulase production by insoluble carbon source cellulose was a common and efficient strategy, but has some drawbacks, such as difficult fermentation operation, substantial cellulase loss, long fermentation time, and high energy-consumption, resulting in high cost of cellulase production in industry. These drawbacks can be overcome if soluble carbon sources are utili...

This prospective study compared the ability of 4 smoking expectancy measures to mediate the influence of peer, parent, and current smoking on adolescents' cigarette use 3 months later. No evidence for mediation was found when expectancies were operationalized as unidimensional subjective expected utility (SEU), multidimensional SEU, or unidimensional SEU decomposed into probability and desirabi...

This paper proposes a radiation hardened NULL Convention Logic (NCL) architecture that can recover from a single event latchup (SEL) or single event upset (SEU) fault without deadlock or any data loss. The proposed architecture is analytically proved to be SEL resistant, and by extension, proved to be SEU resistant. The SEL/SEU resistant version of a 3-stage full-word pipelined NCL 4 × 4 unsign...

This paper argues that the subjective expected utility (SEU) model has serious limitations in both positive and normative analysis. In addition to experimental evidence, I discuss examples where alternatives to the SEU provide a richer framework for the study of problems of choice under uncertainty. Opportunities for improved positive and normative analysis using non-SEU models are discussed. *...

Experimental and theoretical analysis has shown that the conventional expected utility (EU) and subjective expected utility (SEU) models, which are linear in probabilities, have serious limitations in certain situations. We argue here that these limitations are often highly relevant to the work that environmental and natural resource economists do. We discuss some of the experimental evidence a...
