Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) that frequently transforms into diffuse aggressive NHL. The majority of FLs display a t(14; 18) translocation that places the bcl-2 gene into juxtaposition with the lg heavy-chain (H) gene locus. Morphologically transformed malignant FL cells retain their t(14;18) translocation and may acquire additional genetic abnorma...

In this paper a new architecture for delay locked loops will be presented.  One of problems in phase-frequency detectors (PFD) is static phase offset or reset path delay. The proposed structure decreases the jitter resulted from PFD by switching two PFDs. In this new architecture, a conventional PFD is used before locking of DLL to decrease the amount of phase difference between input and outpu...

In this paper we describe a new simulation tool used to study the creation and optimization of propagation maps for Node State Routing protocols within wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. The simulation is developed in MATLAB and interfaces with DLL libraries for network data management support. These DLL libraries also have applications within OPNET for other Node State Routing studies.

Dlx homeobox genes are mammalian homologs of the Drosophila Distal-less (Dll) gene. The Dlx/Dll gene family is of ancient origin and appears to play a role in appendage development in essentially all species in which it has been identified. In Drosophila, Dll is expressed in the distal portion of the developing appendages and is critical for the development of distal structures. In addition, hu...

A 3–8 GHz delay-locked loop (DLL) with cycle jitter calibration is presented. To lower the operation frequency of a voltage-controlled delay line (VCDL), this DLL adopts the dividers, an edge combiner, and the multiple VCDLs. A duty cycle correction circuit is presented to maintain the output duty cycle of 50%. This DLL has been fabricated in 90-nm CMOS process. The measured peak-to-peak jitter...

The first complete genome sequence of a p-nitrophenol (PNP)-degrading bacterium is reported here. Pseudomonas putida DLL-E4, a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from methyl-parathion-polluted soil, can utilize PNP as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. P. putida DLL-E4 has a 6,484,062 bp circular chromosome that contains 5,894 genes, with a G+C content of 62.46%.

The distribution of thalamic projection neurons to the Wulst was examined in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) using the retrograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) method. After injection of WGA-HRP into the unilateral Wulst, retrogradely labeled neurons (RLneurons) were found ipsilaterally in zones A and B of the nucleus dorsolateral...

A phase-locked loop (PLL) and delay-locked loop (DLL) design with adaptively adjusting bandwidth enables optimal performance over a wide frequency range and across process, voltage, and temperature variations. A design methodology of such adaptive-bandwidth PLLs and DLLs is described. To assess the impact of each circuit parameter directly, we derive a discrete-time, open-loop dynamic model of ...

The primordia of the thoracic imaginal discs of the Drosophila embryo originate as groups of cells spanning the parasegment boundary. We present evidence that the thoracic imaginal primordia are allocated in response to signals from the wingless (wg) and decapentaplegic (dpp) gene products. Rows of cells that express wg intersect rows of cells that express dpp to form a ladder-like pattern in t...
