A new process for automating the creation of FullBehavioral (FBM) and Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) models in VHDL for complex processors and components is described, with results from the automation of a PowerPC 601 described in some detail. A number of advantages to this approach are described together with its impact on the hardware/software codesign and system prototyping processes.

The 6-h plasma profiles of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH), and GH were studied in 17 dogs with pituitarydependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) before and after hypophysectomy. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between the hormone profile characteristics and recurrence of PDH after surgery. The hormones were secreted in a p...

Fusion between cells expressing envelope protein (Env) of Moloney murine leukemia virus and target cells were studied by use of video fluorescence microscopy and electrical capacitance measurements. When the full-length 632-amino-acid residue Env was expressed, fusion did not occur at all for 3T3 cells as target and only somewhat for XC6 cells. Expression of Env 616*-a construct of Env with the...

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a known risk factor for lower urinary tract symptoms. This study investigates whether functional and expression changes of cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors are involved in the bladder dysfunction in an obese rat model with insulin resistance. Bladder samples from obese Zucker rat (OZR) and their respective controls lean Zucker rat (LZR) were processed for immunohisto...
