This paper explores the energy-delay space of eight widely referred flip-flops in a 0.13μm CMOS technology. The main goal has been to find the smallest set of flip-flop topologies to be included in a “high performance” flip-flop cell library covering a wide range of power-performance targets. Based on our comparison results, transmission gate-based flipflops show the best power-performance trad...

We report that a novel sulfonylamino compound, 4-[2-(phenylsulfonylamino)ethylthio]-2,6-difluoro-phenoxyacetam ide (PEPA), selectively potentiates glutamate receptors of the AMPA subtype. PEPA (1-200 microM) dose dependently potentiated glutamate-evoked currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing AMPA (GluRA-GluRD), but not kainate (GluR6 and GluR6+KA2) or NMDA (zeta1 + epsilon1-epsilon4), receptor ...

Currently, automated systems for program submission and assessment play a central role in the teaching of programming. A number of such systems have been developed in the last two decades. However, their adoption in regular programming teaching presents an obstacle: the overhead work required for the design of each problem, for compilation of problem collections, and for mundane management task...

The power consumption of modern highly complex chips during scan test is significantly higher than the consumed functional mode. This leads to substantial heat dissipation, excessive IR drop, and unrealistic timing failures integrated circuits (ICs) under test. In this brief, a ByPassable Scan Data Retention Flip-Flop (BPS-DRFF) proposed for low-power IC flip-flop contains two secondary latches...

We investigated the transbilayer movement or flip-flop of phospholipids in vesicles derived from the cytoplasmic membrane of Bacillus megaterium. Since common assay techniques were found to be inapplicable to the Bacillus system, we exploited and elaborated a newly described method in which fluorescent phospholipids (1-myristoyl-2-C6-NBD phospholipids) are used as tracers to monitor flip-flop. ...

INTRODUCTION "Fosbury flop" tear is an avulsion of the posterosuperior rotator cuff from the bone with reversal healing on its medial bursal-side. This case report describes a unique variant of Fosbury flop tear with a lesion of the musculotendinous junction that healed, for its tendon part, on the anterior humerus and coracoid process. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old man developed a posttrau...

A UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter) is a device allowing the reception and transmission of information, in a serial and asynchronous way. This project focuses on the implementation of UART with status register using multi bit flip-flop and comparing it with UART with status register using single bit flip-flops. During the reception of data, status register indicates parity ...
