Asynchronous circuits have recently been a breakthrough in many high performance computers. The concept of asynchronous circuits which started a long time ago has slowly grasped the attention of many designers. The Muller-C-element is an important control block in many asynchronous designs and therefore it is important to understand some...
A capsid protein termed p87 of the Orgyia pseudotsugata multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (OpMNPV) was located to the HindIII-G fragment of the viral genome by Southern hybridization. A 3.6 kb segment of this region was sequenced and an 1872-nt open reading frame encoding the p 87 protein was identified and...
As the human population grows, the need for alternative and clean forms of energy is greater. The installation of offshore wind energy has been on the rise over the past decade, however the fossil fuel energy generation sectors, such as coal and natural gas, are still major players in the...
Understanding the dynamics of seasonal epizootics of vector-borne pathogens infecting multiple host species presents several challenges. The transmission potential of competent hosts depends on factors influencing the contact rate between hosts and vectors. Feeding preferences of vectors can determine which host species drive the prevalence of infection throughout the overall...
Marine sediments are one of the largest habitats for microbial life on earth. These microorganisms play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling both within the subsurface and between the sediment and water columns. However, microbial communities in sediments are highly heterogeneous and the factors defining microbial community structure and metabolic function...
This study examined the effects of pH, temperature,
washing, and post-hydration drying on germination of
Anisogramma anomala ascopores. Spores germinate most
readily in the temperature range of 5 to 15 degrees C, with
an optimal temperature of 10 degrees (1 sd=0.05). Growth
was best in the pH range of 5...
