High-level Petri net classes are suited to specify concurrent processes with emphasis both in control and data processing, making them appropriate to specify distributed embedded systems (DES). Embedded systems components are usually synchronous, which means that DES can be seen as GloballyAsynchronous Locally-Synchronous (GALS) systems. This paper proposes to include in high-level Petri nets a...

Galectin (Gal) family members are a type of soluble lectin, and they play important roles in immunomodulation. Their redundant roles have been proposed. We previously found that Gal-1 promotes the formation of Ab-secreting plasma cells, but B cells from Gal-1-deficient and control animals produce comparable amounts of Abs. In the current study, we used synthetic sulfomodified N-acetyllactosamin...

As Globally Asynchronous and Locally Synchronous (GALS) based System-on-chip (SoC) are gaining importance, a special case of GALS when the global clocking is preserved, but the interconnect delays of multiple clock cycles are to be tolerated has also been proposed, and used. In some cases, such designs, known as Latency-Insensitive Protocol (LIP) based SoC integration are also general enough to...

Abstract The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect different garlic preparations on plasma protein concentration and Galectin secretion in goat blood. Inflammatory diseases caused by pathogens including gastrointestinal parasites impact gut health productivity. Changes are indicators status with application inflammatory disease diagnosis prognosis. Galectins (Gals) small solub...

The compositions of molecular species structural lipids and storage two types lettuce leaves, romaine (green leaf) Lolla Rossa (red leaf), are reported. Lettuce was harvested at ages, three weeks (microgreens) eight (mature), analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Samples grown under natural light in a greenhouse were compared to those grow lights. Compositions galactolipids (GALs...

Sulfolobus solfataricus is an aerobic crenarchaeon that thrives in acidic volcanic pools. In this study, we have purified and characterized a thermostable alpha-galactosidase from cell extracts of S. solfataricus P2 grown on the trisaccharide raffinose. The enzyme, designated GalS, is highly specific for alpha-linked galactosides, which are optimally hydrolyzed at pH 5 and 90 degrees C. The pro...

Gals (galectins) are proteins with glycan affinity that are emerging as mediators of atherosclerosis. Despite the similarities in structure and sequence, different Gals exert distinct effects on their target cells. We have shown that Gal-1 triggers platelet activation, suggesting a role for Gals in thrombus formation. Since Gal-8 is expressed upon endothelial activation and also contributes to ...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) designs have emerged as a replacement for traditional shared-bus designs for on-chip communications. Typically, these systems require fully balanced clock distribution trees to enable synchronous communication between all nodes on-chip, resulting in higher power consumption. One approach to reduce power consumption is to replace the balanced clock tree with a globally-asyn...

&CLOCKSAREANever-increasing source of trouble. On the other hand, clockless designs would not likely be the solution for today’s or tomorrow’s monster chips, because of the immaturity of the design tools and the validation challenges caused by the subtleties of this design style. Globally asynchronous, locally synchronous (GALS) design, therefore, is emerging as the architecture of choice for c...
