Signs of lower urinary tract (LUT) disease in domestic cats can be acute or chronic, and can result from variable combinations of abnormalities within the lumen of the LUT, the parenchyma of the LUT itself, or other organ system(s) that then lead to LUT dysfunction. In the majority of cats with chronic signs of LUT dysfunction, no specific underlying cause can be confirmed after standard clinic...

Two types of programmable logic devices using LUTs (Look-Up Tables) are presented. An LUT cascade directly implements logic functions by a series connection of LUTs, while an emulator emulates an LUT cascade by sequentially accessing LUTs. The LUT cascade is faster, but has a limited logic capability, while the emulator is slower, but has a higher logic capability. LUT cascades and emulators ca...

In this paper, we present Self-Checking look-up-table (LUT) based on Scalable Error Detection Coding (SEDC) scheme for use in faulttolerant reconfigurable architectures. SEDC scheme has shorter latency than any other existing coding schemes for all unidirectional error detection and the LUT execution time remains unaffected with selfchecking capabilities. SEDC scheme partitions the contents of ...

In this study, the authors present a novel data hiding scheme using the minimum distortion look-up table (LUT) embedding that achieves good distortion-robustness performance. LUT-based data hiding is a simple and efficient way to embed information into multimedia content for various applications, such as transaction tracking and database annotation. The authors find it possible to optimally red...

A large-scale memory-technology-based programmable logic device (PLD) using a look-up table (LUT) cascade is developed in the 0.35-mm standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic process. Eight 64K-bit synchronous SRAMs are connected to form an LUT cascade with a few additional circuits. The features of the LUT cascade include: 1) a flexible cascade connection structure, 2) mul...

Luteolin (Lut) is a common dietary flavonoid present in Chinese herbal medicines that has been reported to have important anti-inflammatory properties. The purposes of this study were to observe the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in bone marrow macrophages (BMM) by Lut, and to examine whether this inhibition involves p38/MK2/TTP-mediated mRNA stability. Lu...

This paper compares two types of lookup table (LUT) structures useful for delay optimization in programmable devices. Realistic assumptions about the input-to-output delays in a LUT and the delays of routable and nonroutable connections are used. The conclusion is that the cluster LUT structure results in better delays compared to the cascade structure. This LUT structure leads to mapped networ...

introduction iran kaluts (yardang) which are considered as special models in terms of magnitude and extension have been shaped in the west part of the central lut desert. although these kaluts now are influenced by the selective windy erosion, they can be shaped through the process of wind and water erosion. the suitable environment for formation of these kaluts are the arid region together wit...

Complex organization of CNS and PNS pathways is necessary for the coordinated and reciprocal functions of the urinary bladder, urethra and urethral sphincters. Injury, inflammation, psychogenic stress or diseases that affect these nerve pathways and target organs can produce lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction. Numerous neuropeptide/receptor systems are expressed in the neural pathways of the...

In this paper we propose look-up table (LUT) based methods for inverse halftoning of images. The LUT for inverse halftoning is obtained from the histogram gathered from a few sample halftone images and corresponding original images. The method is extremely fast (no filtering is required) and the PSNR and visual image quality achieved is comparable to the best methods known for inverse halftonin...
