Quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) circuits are those whose correct operation does not depend on the delays of operators or wires, except for certain wires that form isochronic forks. In this paper we show that quasi-delay-insensitivity, stability and non-interference, and strong connuence are equivalent properties of a computation. In particular, this shows that QDI computations are deterministic. ...

For long term stability analysis time variation of tunes is important. We have proposed and tested a technique for measuring the magnitude of this variation. This was made possible by using tune extraction algorithms that require small number of turns thus giving an instantaneous tune of the machine. In this paper we demonstrate the measured effect of the tune modulation with 60 Hz power suppli...

We study mathematically a method for discovering which gene is related to a cell phenotype of interest. The method is based on RNA interference — a molecular process for gene deactivation — and on coupling the phenotype with fluorescence in a FACS machine. A small number of candidate genes are thus isolated, and then tested individually. We model probabilistically this process, prove a limit th...

Cognitive radio is a revolutionary technology that allows efficient, adaptable and intelligent use of spectrum without causing interference to the current licensed users. For cognitive radio adaptability, optimal usability and the power to evolve are the major factors that set apart an evolutionary machine. This paper introduces the concept of spectrum and network heterogeneity in case of cogni...

We present a new parallel implementation of lazy ML. Our scheme is a direct extension of the G-machine-based implementation of lazy ML. Parallelism is introduced by fork annotations inserted by the programmer. We discuss the interference of such user annotations with strictness annotations generated by our compiler. The system has been implemented on a Sequent Balance computer. We also address ...

The increasing amount of web services in global Grid environment brings various interoperability problems to service providers and client application developers. Providing machine understandable descriptions, autonomous agents can adapt client applications to heterogeneous services with little human interference. This paper introduces a multiagent scenario on the Semantic Web to help client app...

Consider the class of input restricted channels whose constraints can be modelled by$nite state machines. This paper treats the problem o f constructing3xed rate (synchronous) codes for such channels subject to a constraint that the coding delay be bounded by a parameter M. M is the maximum number o f information symbols required by the coder in choosing a word during transmission. 1. Introduct...

Abstract Introduction Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of donor kidneys prior to transplantation provides a platform for delivery novel therapeutics optimize organ quality. This includes RNA interference (RNAi) e.g. antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) that block detrimental microRNAs. The intracellular kinetics RNAi are crucial their pharmacological effect, however, it remains poorly understoo...
