The major surface glycoprotein (MSG) is an abundant, immunodominant protein on the surface of the opportunistic pathogen Pneumocystis carinii. The current study identified two novel variant MSG (vMSG) gene families in rat P. carinii that are closely related to but distinct from MSG. These gene families encode proteins of approximately 90 kDa (v1MSG) and approximately 115 kDa (v2MSG). Compared w...

This paper discusses the device physics of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs). After reviewing the status of device technology, we use results of our numerical simulations to discuss the physics of CNTFETs emphasizing the similarities and differences with traditional FETs. The discussion shows that our understanding of CNTFET device physics has matured to the point where experim...

Graham, T. E., V. Sgro, D. Friars, and M. J. Gibala. Glutamate ingestion: the plasma and muscle free amino acid pools of resting humans. Am. J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab. 278: E83–E89, 2000.—Monosodium glutamate (MSG) ingestion is known to increase plasma glutamate concentration, and MSG infusion stimulates insulin secretion. We investigated the impact of MSG ingestion on both the plasma and i...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is known to enhance liking for the flavor of savory foods, but whether associations between flavors and effects of MSG lead to changes in subsequent liking and intake for the flavor alone is unclear. To test this, 32 volunteers evaluated and consumed a novel savory soup with no added MSG before and after four training sessions where the same soup was consumed either u...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a common flavor enhancer in various canned food and stereotypically associated with food in Chinese restaurants, has been claimed and tested to have side effects including headache and dizziness. However, the mechanism behind MSG-induced headache was not clear. Using dissociated mouse neuronal culture and cell injury assays, we determined whether incubation of neuron...

A mathematical model for the effect of oxide thickness on ambient conduction is provided in Schottky Barrier Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) Field Effect Transistor (SB-CNTFET). To develop them as future IC (integrated circuit) technology, suppression ambipolar behaviour SB-CNTFET imperative. The nature contributes to a high amount leakage current. tox ≈ 49.91nm uses dielectric gate with inhibit behavi...

The adder circuit is basic component of arithmetic logic design and that the most important block processor architecture. Moreover, power consumption main concern for real-time digital systems. In recent times, carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFET) used designs with high performance. A creative substitute highspeed, less power, small size in area CNTFET. This paper presents 1- bit f...

Food acceptance and toxic effects of feeding sodium selenite (Se) alone and in combination with monosodium glutamate (MSG), a taste enhancer were studied in the laboratory rat. Dose-dependent stimulation of daily food intake was observed with MSG offered in no-choice or bi-choice with the plain food. Consumption of pellets containing 0.05, 0.5 and 1.0% Se was significantly low than the plain or...

In this paper, we propose new universal designs of ternary-valued logic (TVL) with high-speed, low-power and full swing output using carbon nanotube FETs (CNTFETs). All of the TVL functions (3 functions) can be implemented in these designs. Ternary value logic is a promising alternative to binary logic due to the reduced integrated circuit (IC) interconnects and chip area. Therefore, a universa...

This study presents new low-power multiple-valued logic (MVL) circuits for nanoelectronics. These carbon nanotube field effect transistor (FET) (CNTFET)-based MVL circuits are designed based on the unique characteristics of the CNTFET device such as the capability of setting the desired threshold voltages by adopting correct diameters for the nanotubes as well as the same carrier mobility for t...
