Chemically Induced Phospholipid Translocation Across Biological Membranes

Anwar, Jamshed, Onike, Olajide I., Gurtovenko, Andrey A. January 2008 (has links)
No / Chemical means of manipulating the distribution of lipids across biological membranes is of considerable interest for many biomedical applications as a characteristic lipid distribution is vital for numerous cellular functions. Here we employ atomic-scale molecular simulations to shed light on the ability of certain amphiphilic compounds to promote lipid translocation (flip-flops) across membranes. We show that chemically induced lipid flip-flops are most likely pore-mediated: the actual flip-flop event is a very fast process (time scales of tens of nanoseconds) once a transient water defect has been induced by the amphiphilic chemical (dimethylsulfoxide in this instance). Our findings are consistent with available experimental observations and further emphasize the importance of transient membrane defects for chemical control of lipid distribution across cell membranes

Comparative study on low-power high-performance flip-flops / Jämförande studie av högpreserande lågeffektsvippor

Oskuii, Saeeid Tahmasbi January 2004 (has links)
<p>This thesis explores the energy-delay space of eight widely referred flip-flops in a 0.13µm CMOS technology. The main goal has been to find the smallest set of flip-flop topologies to be included in a “high performance” flip-flop cell library covering a wide range of power-performance targets. Based on the comparison results, transmission gate-based flip-flops show the best powerperformance trade-offs with a total delay (clock-to-output + setup time) down to 105ps. For higher performance, the pulse-triggered flip-flops are the fastest (80ps) alternatives suitable to be included in a flip-flop cell library. However, pulse-triggered flip-flops consume significantly larger power (about 2.5x) compared to other fast but fully dynamic flip-flops such as TSPC and dynamic TG-based flip-flops.</p>

Design and Analysis of Metastable-Hardened, High-Performance, Low-Power Flip-Flops

Li, David 19 July 2011 (has links)
With rapid technology scaling, flip-flops are becoming more susceptible to metastability due to tighter timing budgets and the more prominent effects of process, temperature, and voltage variation that can result in frequent setup and hold time violations. This thesis presents a detailed methodology and analysis on the design of metastable-hardened, high-performance, and low-power flip-flops. The design of metastable-hardened flip-flops is focused on optimizing the value of τ mainly due to its exponential relationship with the metastability window δ and the mean-time-between-failure (MTBF). Through small-signal modeling, τ is determined to be a function of the load capacitance and the transconductance in the cross-coupled inverter pair for a given flip-flop architecture. In most cases, the reduction of τ comes at the expense of increased delay and power. Hence, two new design metrics, the metastability-delay-product (MDP) and the metastability-power-delay-product (MPDP), are proposed to analyze the tradeoffs between delay, power and τ. Post-layout simulation results have shown that the proposed optimum MPDP design can reduce the metastability window δ by at least an order of magnitude depending on the value of the settling time and the flip-flop architecture. In this work, we have proposed two new flip-flop designs: the pre-discharge flip-flop (PDFF) and the sense-amplifier-transmission-gate (SATG) based flip-flop. Both flip-flop architectures facilitate the usage in both single and dual-supply systems as reduced clock-swing flip-flop and level-converting flip-flop. With a cross-coupled inverter in the master-stage that increases the overall transconductance and a small load transistor associated with the critical node, the architecture of both the PDFF and the SATG is very attractive for the design of metastable-hardened, high-performance, and low-power flip-flops. The amount of overhead in delay, power, and area is all less than 10% under the optimum MPDP design scheme when compared to the traditional optimum PDP design. In designing for metastable-hardened and soft-error tolerant flip-flops, the main methodology is to improve the metastability performance in the master-stage while applying the soft-error tolerant cell in the slave-stage for protection against soft-error. The proposed flip-flops, PDFF-SE and SATG-SE, both utilize a cross-coupled inverter on the critical path in the master-stage and generate the required differential signals to facilitate the usage of the Quatro soft-error tolerant cell in the slave-stage.

Soft-edge flip-flop technique for aggressive voltage scaling in low-power digital designs

Ustun, Huseyin Mert 11 July 2011 (has links)
Low-power digital design has been a widely researched area for the past twenty years. The growing demand for mobile computing made low power an especially important quality for such systems and encouraged researchers to find new ways of reducing power dissipation. Aggressive voltage scaling was recently published as a new paradigm for reducing power dissipation in digital circuits and the use of soft-edge flip-flops is one such technique in this category. In this thesis, we propose a soft-edge flip-flop topology that is better suited to implement the soft-edge property compared to the previously published implementations. In addition, we present the effectiveness of the soft-edge flip-flop technique by applying it to a practical VLSI design implemented with the TSMC 0.18um standard cell library. Using HSIM transistor-level SPICE simulator, we show that at least 25% power reduction is achievable in the whole circuit with a negligible area overhead. / text

Folco Quispe, Alondra Mirella, Hyldebre Mendoza, Roberto Carlo, Parvina Lucas, Marjorie Pierina, Quispe León, Nicolle Stephany, Rivera Lazarte, Marcelo Sebastian 25 November 2019 (has links)
El siguiente proyecto se basa en la producción y comercialización de sandalias para mujeres entre las edades de 20 a 35 años del nivel socioeconómico B y C de las zonas 4 y 6 de Lima Metropolitana. Se realizaron encuestas y entrevistas con el fin de conocer los gustos y preferencias de las usuarias, así como también conocer sus experiencias de compra y uso de sandalias para poder identificar los principales problemas que afrontan con respecto al uso de calzados. Luego de la validación de este problema se pudo plantear una solución: las sandalias Balance Heels. Las sandalias cuentan con bandas, la cuales pueden ser desplegadas de su base para ser intercambiadas por otra de modelo diferente. Dichas bandas cuentan con un broche en la parte delantera y a los costados, los cuales facilitan el intercambio de estas con diversos diseños de modo más práctico. El desarrollo de nuestro proyecto está dividido en dos partes. En la primera se validó el modelo de negocio por medio de métodos de investigación cualitativa primaria (entrevistas y focus group). La segunda parte fue el desarrollo del plan de negocio, para el cual se requiere una inversión de 64,379.27 soles. / The following project is based in the production and commercialization of sandals for women between the ages of 20 and 35, with socioeconomic statuses B and C living in the zones 4 and 6 of Lima Metropolitana. Surveys and interviews were made in order to know the tastes and preferences of users, in addition to recognize their shopping habits, the usage of sandals, and experiences related. This could help us find out the main problems that they may have about the usage of sandals. After the validation of this problem we were able to propose a solution: a pair of Balance Heels sandals. These sandals have strips which can be deployed from its base to be exchanged to another different model. These bands have a clasp on the front and the sides, which facilitate the exchange of these with various designs in a more practical way. The development of our project is divided in two parts. In the first part, the business model was validated through primary qualitative information methods (interviews and focus group). The second part was the development of the business plan, which requires an investment of 64,379.27 soles. / Trabajo de investigación
