the lut block in eastern iran is a micro-continental block within the convergent orogen between the arabian, eurasian and indian plates. large areas of the north-central, eastern, and western lut block are covered by volcanic rocks of paleogene, neogene and quaternary age.  peak volcanic activity took place in the north-central part of the lut block during the eocene, and then dramatically decr...

In this study, the authors present a novel data hiding scheme using the minimum distortion look-up table (LUT) embedding that achieves good distortion-robustness performance. LUT-based data hiding is a simple and efficient way to embed information into multimedia content for various applications, such as transaction tracking and database annotation. The authors find it possible to optimally red...

Luteolin (Lut) is a common dietary flavonoid present in Chinese herbal medicines that has been reported to have important anti-inflammatory properties. The purposes of this study were to observe the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in bone marrow macrophages (BMM) by Lut, and to examine whether this inhibition involves p38/MK2/TTP-mediated mRNA stability. Lu...

A large-scale memory-technology-based programmable logic device (PLD) using a look-up table (LUT) cascade is developed in the 0.35-mm standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic process. Eight 64K-bit synchronous SRAMs are connected to form an LUT cascade with a few additional circuits. The features of the LUT cascade include: 1) a flexible cascade connection structure, 2) mul...

This paper compares two types of lookup table (LUT) structures useful for delay optimization in programmable devices. Realistic assumptions about the input-to-output delays in a LUT and the delays of routable and nonroutable connections are used. The conclusion is that the cluster LUT structure results in better delays compared to the cascade structure. This LUT structure leads to mapped networ...

Complex organization of CNS and PNS pathways is necessary for the coordinated and reciprocal functions of the urinary bladder, urethra and urethral sphincters. Injury, inflammation, psychogenic stress or diseases that affect these nerve pathways and target organs can produce lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction. Numerous neuropeptide/receptor systems are expressed in the neural pathways of the...

In this paper we propose look-up table (LUT) based methods for inverse halftoning of images. The LUT for inverse halftoning is obtained from the histogram gathered from a few sample halftone images and corresponding original images. The method is extremely fast (no filtering is required) and the PSNR and visual image quality achieved is comparable to the best methods known for inverse halftonin...

In this current fast moving world, getting the information faster is more important. My project makes it happen. SMS4 cipher based on Pipelined Twisted BDD (Binary Decision Diagram) S-box architecture can convert the plain text into cipher text as fast as other S-box architecture. SMS4 is a 128-bit block cipher used in the WAPI standard for protecting data packets in WLAN. In this project S-box...

We previously found that luteolin (Lut) appeared to improve the contractility of cardiomyocytes during ischemia/reperfusion in rats. The enhancement was associated with the alteration in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2a (SERCA2a). This finding prompted us to consider if the mechanism worked in heart failure (HF). We studied the regulation of SERCA2a by Lut in failing cardiomyocytes and int...
