Cisplatin is one of the most widely used anti-cancer drugs due to its ability to damage DNA and induce apoptosis. However, increasing reports of side effects and drug resistance indicate the limitation of cisplatin in cancer therapeutics. Recent studies showed that inhibition of gap junctions diminishes the cytotoxic effect and contributes to drug resistance. Therefore, identification of molecu...

This paper investigates the problem of event-based synchronization of linear discrete-time dynamical networks. Leader-following and leaderless synchronizations are achieved by a distributed event-trigger strategy. It is shown that feedback control updating is unnecessary until an event is triggered. The combinational-state variables and the Riccati equation are used to construct a Liapunov func...

In this paper we propose an application of the Ant System (AS) to optimize combinational logic circuits at the gate level. We deene a measure of quality improvement in partially built circuits to compute the distances required by the AS and we consider as optimal those solutions that represent functional circuits with a minimum amount of gates. The proposed methodology is described together wit...

This paper presents a novel method for defining,analyzing, testing and implementing the basic combinationalcircuitry with VHDL Simulator. This paper shows the potentialof VHDL modeling and simulation that can be applied toTernary switching circuits to verify its functionality and timingspecifications. A novel method is brought out for implementingthe basic combinational ...

Chemotherapy has been widely used in breast cancer patients to reduce tumor size. However, most anticancer agents cannot differentiate between cancerous and normal cells, resulting in severe systemic toxicity. In addition, acquired drug resistance during the chemotherapy treatment further decreases treatment efficacy. With the proper treatment strategy, nanodrug carriers, such as liposomes/immu...

Why should wait for some days to get or receive the coding approaches to fault tolerance in combinational and dynamic systems book that you order? Why should you take it if you can get the faster one? You can find the same book that you order right here. This is it the book that you can receive directly after purchasing. This coding approaches to fault tolerance in combinational and dynamic sys...

In this paper, a test pattern generation system for combinational circuits including test pattern generator, fault simulator, and test set compactor is introduced. The techniques that improve test pattern generation process are used in an implemented test pattern generation system called COM_TEST. The results of COM_TEST on ten circuits are given.

Polymorphism, complexity, and selective forces operating on the HLA system were reviewed. Re~ combinational and functional data indicated a complex genetic region with many loci whose functions were correlated with the immune system and cellular differentiation and were also somehow interrelated with the immunoglobulins. frhe SCJ~indicates that this paper has been cited in over 325 publications.)

Self-checking circuits can detect the presence of both transient and permanent faults. A self-checking circuit consists of a functional circuit, which produces encoded output vectors, and a checker, which checks the output vectors. The checker has the ability to expose its own faults as well. The functional circuit can be either combinational or sequential. A self-checking system consists of an...
