Putting it all together – Formal verification of the VAMP

In the verified architecture microprocessor (VAMP) project we have designed, functionally verified, and synthesized a processor with full DLX instruction set, delayed branch, Tomasulo scheduler, maskable nested precise interrupts, pipelined fully IEEE compatible dual precision floating point unit with variable latency, and separate instruction and data caches. The verification has been carried out in the theorem proving system PVS. The processor has been implemented on a Xilinx FPGA. A shorter version of this article with the title “Instantiating uninterpreted functional units and memory system: functional verification of the VAMP” appeared in [8]. The work reported here was done while all the authors were with Saarland University.     

Proteine des Bienenhonigs

Zusammenfassung Die Isolierung der Saccharase (E.C. 3.2.1.20) aus den Proteinkonzentraten von Raps-, Tannen- und Zuckerfütterungshonig wird beschrieben. Die Abtrennung von anderen Enzymen, insbesondere von saurer Phosphatase gelingt durch hydrophobe Wechselwirkungschromatographie, von inerten Proteinen durch Gelfiltration. Im Zusammenhang damit wird das Verhalten des Enzyms bei der Chromatographie an Anionenaustauschern, an Hydroxylapatit und an immobilisiertem Weizenkeimlectin untersucht. Dabei ergab sich am Lectin-Gel eine Trennung in zwei multiple Formen.Die Saccharase aus allen drei Honigsorten verhielt sich einheitlich, woraus zu schließen ist, daß sie ausschließlich von der Biene stammt. Ihre Molekül masse wurde gelchromatographisch zu 57000 ermittelt.

The proteins of honeyVIII. Honey sucrase, isolation, chromatographic behaviour and properties

Summary The isolation of the honey sucrase (E.C. 3.2.1.20) from rape- and fir-honey as well as from honey obtained after sugar feeding is described. The separation from other honey enzymes especially from acid phosphatase succeded by reversed phase chromatography. Separation of other, non-active proteins was accomplished by gel permeation chromatography. The behaviour of the honey sucrase upon chromatography on anion exchangers, on hydroxylapatite and wheat germ lectin was investigated. No differences were found between the sucrases of the three honeys.The molecular weight was determined at 57 000. By affinity chromatography with wheat germ lectin the enzyme could be separated into two multiple forms.

     

Phosphorus Inputs to Lake Simcoe from 1990 to 2003: Declines in Tributary Loads and Observations on Lake Water Quality

Total phosphorus (TP) inputs to Lake Simcoe have led to hypolimnetic dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion and loss of cold water fish habitat. Since 1990, efforts have been made to reduce the total TP input to the lake below a defined target of 75 t/year, which was predicted to lead to reductions in spring TP concentration and improvements in end-of-summer hypolimnetic DO concentrations. The total TP load to the lake during the most recent period of record (1998/99-2003/04) ranged from 53 to 76 t/yr and averaged 67 t/yr, compared to an average of 114 t/yr estimated between 1990/91 and 1997/98 (range 85-157 t/yr). Reductions in TP loads from the catchment via tributary discharge (∼26 t) accounted for the majority of the decrease in total load between the two time periods. Total P concentrations decreased significantly in four out of six long-term monitored tributaries; however, concentrations in all six tributaries remain above the level recommended to avoid nuisance plant growth (30 μg/L). Although TP loads to the lake are currently below the target 75 t/yr, excessive growths of filamentous algae and macrophytes continue to be a problem in the nearshore zone. End-of-summer minimum hypolimnetic DO concentrations (average 4.3 mg/L, 1998/99-2003/04) remain substantially below the level (7 mg/L) that is considered protective of lake trout. Efforts to reduce TP loads to the lake therefore need to continue.     

Programming tool-use actions.

When humans plan to execute a tool-use action, they can only specify the bodily movement parameters by taking into account the external target or goal of the tool-use action and the target-movement mapping implemented by the tool. In this study, the authors used the movement precuing method to investigate how people prepare for actions made with tools. More specifically, they asked whether people would be able to specify the spatial target and the target-movement mapping of the tool-use action independently of each other, and to what degree they would be able to prepare these components in advance. In 3 experiments, they precued either the target or the target-movement mapping of tool-use actions involving either a compatible or an incompatible target-movement mapping. Results indicate that participants benefit from partial advance information about the target-movement mapping, whereas no significant effects were found for precuing the spatial target of the action. These results occurred regardless of whether the target-movement mapping was compatible or incompatible and provide evidence for the notion that the target-movement mapping of a tool-use action is part of its cognitive representation.
