In this paper the design and implementation of two versions of the compact Genetic Algorithm (cGA), with and without mutation and elitism, and a Cellular Automata-based pseudo-random number generator on a Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are accomplished. The design is made using a Hardware Description Language, called VHDL. Accordingly, the obtained results show that it is viable to have...

With the increasing availability of various web-enabled mobile devices, content has to be effectively adapted to their different limitations. So, web content need rearrangement, i.e., a transcoding, to better fit on small displays when, for instance, layout specific HTML structures like tables and frames are used. In this article, we present a description language to define generic rules for th...

It is explained a computational tool, PyHDL, conceived to assist the designer of custom processors. PyHDL takes a description given in Python, an extremely friendly language that allows writing descriptions as close to natural language descriptions as possible with current technology in programming languages. The tool carries out the generation of a synthesizable VHDL equivalent of the descript...

Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) allow for the efficient synthesis of large and complex circuits. Consequently, researchers also investigated their potential in the domain of reversible logic. Here, existing HDL-based synthesis approaches suffer from the significant drawback of employing additional circuit lines in order to buffer intermediate results. In this work, we investigate the poss...

Background. Although coronary heart disease (CHD) continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among adults in the U.S., it is possible to prevent CHD through modification of risk factors. The major and independent risk factors are elevated blood pressure, cigarette smoking, elevated LDL-C and cholesterol (TC), low HDL-C, diabetes mellitus, and advancing age. Primary prevention of...

We examined the effects of dietary preso-millet protein on plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholestero] in mice. The results cenfirmed also, in this animal, the elevation of plasma concentration of HDL cholesterel without the inyolyement in raising the cencentratien of low-density lipoprotein cholestero! like those with rats reported in our previous paper. This wollld sugg...
