This paper describes a novel VLSI CMOS implementation of a self-compacting bu er (SCB) for the dynamically allocated multi-queue (DAMQ) switch architecture. The SCB is a scheme that dynamically allocates data regions within the input bu er for each output channel. The proposed implementation provides a high-performance solution to bu ered communication switches that are required in interconnect...

In this work, the role of comonomer content of 1-hexene-medium density polyethylene (MDPE) copolymer, synthesized using Phillips catalyst, on thermal behavior parameters such as: crystallization, melting temperature and thermal degradation was investigated in detail. The copolymer was fractionated to homogenous short-chain branching (SCB) fractions by "preparative temperature rising elution fra...

We investigated the relationship between slow axonal transport and axonal regeneration in the rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cell. The DRG cell sends out a single axon which bifurcates within the ganglion; one axon proceeds centrally into the spinal cord and the other proceeds peripherally. The rate of axonal regeneration is approximately 2 times faster for the peripheral processes (4.6 +/- 0.9...

The axonal transport of the diverse isotubulins in the motor axons of the rat sciatic nerve was studied by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after intraspinal injection of [35S]methionine. 3 wk after injection, the nerve segments carrying the labeled axonal proteins of the slow components a (SCa) and b (SCb) of axonal transport were homogenized in a cytoskeleton-stabilizing buf...

BACKGROUND EBUS guided trans-bronchial biopsy became routine in diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL). Suction catheter-biopsy is a technique for obtaining a tissue sample from peripheral lung parenchyma. Aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic efficiency, feasibility and safety of EBUS guided suction catheter-biopsy (SCB) in comparison to trans-bronchial biopsy (TBB) in diagnosi...

Calmodulin is a soluble, heat-stable protein which has been shown to modulate both membrane-bound and soluble enzymes, but relatively little has been known about the in vivo associations of calmodulin. A 17,000-dalton heat-stable protein was found to move in axonal transport in the guinea pig visual system with the proteins of slow component b (SCb; 2 mm/d) along with actin and the bulk of the ...

To achieve semantic security, symmetric encryption schemes classically require ciphertext expansion. In this paper we provide a means to security while preserving the length of messages at cost mildly sacrificing correctness. Concretely, propose new scheme that can be interpreted as secure alternative (or wrapper around) plain Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode encryption, and for reason name it Se...

Charge oscillations in certain nanodevices, more specifically the so-called Superconducting Cooper Pair Boxes (SCB), are usually interpreted as an effect of macroscopic quantum coherence; an alternative explanation is however possible in terms of the Gross-Pitaewski equation for the classical order parameter. These two explanations are based on different quantum states assigned to the SCB, occu...

Hot water (HW), green liquor (GL), and sodium chlorite (SC) pretreatments were used to pretreat sugarcane bagasse (SCB) spruce (SP) then prepare cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) through high-pressure homogenization explore the effect of physicochemical properties on thermal stability ultraviolet (UV) resistance performance CNF films. The results indicated that lignin content HW-pretreated CNFs was h...

We look into nonparametric regression with repeated measurements collected on a fine grid. An asymptotic normality result is obtained in a function space equipped with the supremum norm. This result can be used to build simultaneous confidence bands (SCB) for various tasks in statistical exploration, estimation and inference. Two applications are proposed: one is a SCB procedure for the regress...
