Serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, estradiol-17 beta and testosterone were determined in adult rats that were treated in the neonatal period with monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) which has previously been shown to reliably produce destruction of arcuate nucleus perikarya. MSG-treated males had significantly smaller accessory sexual organs (semin...

Analysis of the Pneumocystis murina MSG gene family and expression-site locus showed that, as in Pneumocystis carinii, P. murina MSG genes are arranged in head-to-tail tandem arrays located on multiple chromosomes, and that a variety of MSG genes can reside at the unique P. murina expression site. Located between the P. murina expression site and attached MSG gene is a block of 132 basepairs th...

BACKGROUND The human diet has altered markedly during the past four decades, with the introduction of Trans hydrogenated fat, which extended the shelf-life of dietary oils and promoted a dramatic increase in elaidic acid (Trans-18.1) consumption. Food additives such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and aspartame (ASP) were introduced to increase food palatability and reduce caloric intake. Nutrige...

Today, multipliers are included as substantial keys of many systems with high efficiency such as FIR filters, microprocessors and processors of digital signals. The efficiency of the systems are mainly evaluated by their multipliers capability since multipliers are generally the slowest components of a system while occupying the most space. Multiple Valued Logic reduces the number of the requir...

The SRAM which functions as the cache for system-on-chip is vital in the electronic industry. Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNFET) is used for high performance, high stability and low-power circuit designs as an alternative material to silicon in recent years. Therefore Design of SRAM Cell based on CNTFET is important for Low-power cache memory. In cells, the bit-lines are the most p...

Over the past decade CNTFET has become one of the strong contender to replace Silicon by offering high performing power efficient nanoelectronics. However, no study has been published that evaluates CNTFETs based designs for SETs and SEUs due to radiation. This paper presents a comparative analysis of existing designs of latches and logic circuits using CNTFETs (32 nm Stanford models) and MOSFE...

While designing supporting and peripheral circuits like address decoders, sensing circuits, sensing amplifiers, pre charge and I/O control circuits are very important for the proper functioning of SRAM. BL and BL are the two access lines present in the SRAM memory cell which is accessed by the supporting circuits. Designing memory cell with low power consumption and high noise margin without co...

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNTFET) refers to a field-effect transistor that utilizes a single carbon nanotube or an array of carbon nanotubes as the channel material instead of bulk silicon in the traditional MOSFET structure. Since it was first demonstrated in 1998, there have been tremendous developments in CNTFETs, which promise for an alternative material to replace silicon in...

AIMS The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of acute and chronic exposure to alcohol on taste responses to a prototypic umami substance, monosodium glutamate (MSG). METHODS The rated intensity and pleasantness of MSG taste (0.03-10.0%) was compared in chronic male alcoholics (n = 35) and control subjects (n = 25). In a separate experiment, the effects of acute exposure of th...
