The present study examined the favourable influence of three spice mixes derived from a few commonly consumed spices of known digestive stimulant action on digestive enzymes of pancreas and small intestine, and on bile secretion and composition in experimental rats. The common ingredients of these mixes were coriander, turmeric, red chilli, black pepper and cumin, while the spice mix II additio...

resonators. Higher order means more complexity in design. A third-order high-Q 300 kHz micromechanical bandpass filter, with Q-adjustment and frequency tuning, is analyzed using a parameterized cell library, "NODAS," for schematic representation and behavioral HDL simulation. An equivalent SPICE model of the filter is derived, which enables simulation in SPICE and comparison to NODAS. Frequency...

The Spice Internet Package (SIP) was developed using an Internet browser as a platform-independent graphical user interface. The SIP application has many options that include simulation of SPICE files, graphical postprocessing data, and online editing of SPICE files. It can run remotely through a network on any operating system.

Facilities Management is a newly emerging and fast growing business sector. Currently there is limited research in process improvement in this sector. This paper discusses SPICE FM, a research project, which developed a process improvement framework for FM. The paper explains the SPICE FM framework, research methodology and well as a case study in implementing the framework. Background This pap...

In this article three well known singleelectron tunnelling (SET) circuits are discussed. Both measurement results and simulation results on the three SET circuits are shown. The simulation results were obtained using a SPICE model for a single SET junction. The experimental data from SET circuits is used for validation purposes of the SPICE model. The SPICE model performed good on all experimen...

Evidence indicates that sleep plays an important role in learning and memory, and disruption of sleep especially seems to interfere with hippocampal memory processes. Social transmission of food preference (STFP), a natural test of paired associative learning, has been shown to be dependent on the hippocampus. While social transmission of food preference is not a novel task, it has not been use...

This chapter presents an introduction to the area of accelerated transistorlevel (‘fast-SPICE’) simulation for automated verification and characterization of integrated circuits (ICs) from technologist’s perspective. It starts with outlining goals, expectations and typical usage models for fast-SPICE simulators, stressing how they differ from regular SPICE tools. It continues with presenting an...
