An 8 bit microcontroller slave unit was designed, constructed, and tested to demonstrate advantages and feasibility of master/slave parallel processing using conventional processors and relatively slow inter-processor communications. An 8 bit ISA bus controlled by an 80X86 is interfaced to a logic block that controls data flow to and from...
IO transactions within a computer system have evolved along with other system components (i.e., CPU, memory, video) from programmed IO (PIO). In current mainstream systems (spanning from HPC to mobile) the IO transactions are CPU-centric descriptor-based DMA transactions. The key benefit is that slower IO devices can DMA write system...
Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled
signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist
and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation
assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion
chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...
The purpose of this.investigation was to determine how enzymes and oxygen influence the role ascorbic acid has on pigment degradation and browning during storage for strawberry juice and concentrate.
The ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acid content of blanched and unblanched, nitrogen-treated and air-exposed samples of strawberry juice and concentrate was measured...
This study was designed to assess the effects of political
participation upon hostility and the preference for violence.
To investigate this problem a political participation scale was
developed. 148 male subjects (mean age 22.6 years) and 93 female
subjects (mean age 20.7 years) responded to the Political Participation Scale, the...
