This paper discusses the design and implementation of the ARMSim, a simulator implemented in the Java and C programming languages for the Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) processor. The intended users of this tool are those individuals interested in learning computer architecture, particularly those with an interest in the Advanced RISC Machine processor family. ARMSim facilitates the learning of co...

Creating and studying neurocognitive architectures is an active and increasing focus of research efforts. Based on our recent research that uses neural activity limit cycles in selforganizing maps (SOMs) to represent external stimuli, this study explores the use of such limit cycle attractors in a neurocognitive architecture for an open-loop arm reaching task. The goal is to learn to produce a ...

  Nonspecific activity-related arm pain is characterized by an absence of objective physical findings and symptoms that do not correspond with objective pathophysiology. Arm pain without strict diagnosis is often related to activity, work-related activity in particular, and is often seen in patients with physically demanding work. Psychological factors such as catastrophic thinking, symptoms of...

This paper presents some design aspects related with the development of a human-like robot arm, with fully embedded control architecture. The specific features of the proposed mechanical design are discussed first. Then, a candidate distributed and embedded control architecture is eventually proposed.

Image processing and Object detection applications are often associated with real-time performance constraints that stem from the embedded environment that they are often deployed in. The aim of the project is to design and develop a hardware implementation using advanced features of ARM 9 architecture. The proposed embedded system uses ARM 32 bit RISC CPU. It has features of image/object detec...

Testing the performance of a new computational component is costly due to the need of prototyping different setups. Therefore, trace driven hardware simulations are used. Instruction Trace Files (ITFs) are files containing traces of executed instructions in a program’s run and are used as an input for hardware simulations. ITFs tend to be large in size, causing a storage challenge. Many trace r...

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is widely used in particle assembly to impart biocompatibility and stealth-like properties vivo for diverse biomedical applications. Previous studies have examined the effect of PEG molecular weight coating density on biological fate various particles; however, there are few that detail fundamental role architecture engineering bio–nano interactions. Herein, we engin...

introduction: in order to make a dimensional proportion between human and equipment or environment, anthropometric data bank is essential. anthropometry has an important role in industrial management and ergonomic design. this information is needed to be collected regularly in every society. the purpose of this study was to determine arm length to height ratio according to gender in adults, bet...

To maintain genomic stability, chromosome architecture needs to be tightly regulated as chromosomes undergo condensation during prophase and separation during anaphase, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the Plk1-binding protein PICH and Plk1 kinase coordinately maintain chromosome architecture during prometaphase. PICH knockdown results in a loss of Plk1 from the c...
