A challenge of synthetic biology is the creation of cooperative microbial systems that exhibit population-level behaviors. Such systems use cellular signaling mechanisms to regulate gene expression across multiple cell types. We describe the construction of a synthetic microbial consortium consisting of two distinct cell types—an "activator" strain and a "repressor" strain. These strains produc...

5 We present a new approach for the design of a synthetic biological circuit whose behaviour is specified in terms of signal temporal logic (STL) formulae. We first show how to characterise with STL formulae the input/output behaviour of biological modules miming the classical logical gates (AND, NOT, OR). Hence, we provide the regions of the parameter space for which these specifications are s...

Several realizations of Chua’s circuit have been proposed in the literature. The methodologies used in these realizations can be divided into two basic categories. In the first approach, a variety of circuit topologies have been considered for realizing the nonlinear resistor, NR in Chua’s circuit. The main idea in the second approach related to the implementation of the circuit is an inductorl...

Biological circuits are developed as biological parts within a cell to carry out logical functions resembling those studied in electronics circuits. These circuits can be performed as a method to vary cellular functions, to develop cellular responses to environmental conditions, or to regulate cellular developments. This research explored the possibility of synthetic biology based on the geneti...

In this paper, a built-in test circuit for an electrical interconnect test method is proposed to detect an open defect occurring at an interconnect between an IC and a printed circuit board. The test method is based on measuring the supply current of an inverter gate in the test circuit. A time-varying signal is provided to an interconnect as a test signal by the built-in test circuit. In this ...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of short time circuit-resistance exercise with difference intensities on ghi/igf-i growth axis in healthy male students. for this purpose, 27 male students with mean and standard deviation of age 21.40±1.78 yr, height 172±0.45 cm, weight 68.85±5.39 kg were selected and randomly divided into three resistance exercise groups (each group, 9 subj...

A new implementation of Chua’s chaotic circuit using current feedback operational amplifier (CFOAs) and giving high frequency oscillations is presented. Both the circuit topologies based on CFOA’S i.e. CFOA based nonlinear resistor and CFOA based synthetic inductor are used together The new circuit is operated at high frequencies in which the CFOAs have excellent performance. The workability of...
