Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population in the U.S. and has created a massive health care burden. Chronic hyperglycemia leads to specific changes in the retina, including the loss of pericytes, basement membrane thickening, and impaired endothelial cell function. However, the biological explanation of these cellular events remains unclear. Event...

This paper describes a novel communication scheme, which is guaranteed to be free of synchronization failures, amongst multiple synchronous and asynchronous modules operating independently. In this scheme, communication between every pair of modules is done through an asynchronous FIFO channel; communication between a module and the FIFO is done using a request/acknowledge handshaking. Synchron...

Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled battery-powered devices to transmit sensitive data, while presenting high power consumption and security issues. To address these challenges, adiabatic-based physical unclonable functions (PUFs) offer a promising solution for low-power secure IoT device applications. In this study, we propose novel two-phase clocking adiabatic PUF. The proposed PUF utilizes ...
