Ring-Split: Deadlock-Free Routing Algorithm for Circulant Networks-on-Chip.

This article considers the usage of circulant topologies as a promising deadlock-free topology for networks-on-chip (NoCs). A new high-level model, Newxim, for the exploration of NoCs with any topology is presented. Two methods for solving the problem of cyclic dependencies in circulant topologies, which limit their applications for NoCs due to the increased possibility of deadlocks, are proposed.

Development of routing algorithms in networks-on-chip based on two-dimensional optimal circulant topologies.

This work is devoted to the study of application of new topologies in the design of networks-on-chip (NoCs). It is proposed to use two-dimensional optimal circulant topologies for NoC design, and it is developed an optimized routing algorithm with the decreased memory usage. The proposed routing algorithm was compared with Table routing, Clockwise routing, and Adaptive routing algorithms, previously developed for ring circulant topologies, and specialized routing algorithm for multiplicative circulants.

Effects of flavonoid-containing preparation Extralife on hydrogen peroxide production and functioning of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel.

Extralife, a Pentaphylloides fruticos extract, in concentrations of 0.005-10 μg/ml dose-dependently increased H2O2 production in rat heart mitochondria in the presence of respiration substrates. Extralife decreased ATP-induced accumulation of H2O2 related to inhibition of mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel.

Oxidative phosphorylation and ion transport in the mitochondria of two strains of rats varying in their resistance to stress and hypoxia.

The role of mitochondria in the inherited or ontogenetically acquired reactions of organism to stress is not studied enough. In the present work, we examined the functional state of the coupled respiratory chain, potassium and calcium transport and rate of hydrogen peroxide production on two rat lines: August and Wistar-which possess different resistance to emotional stress and hypoxia. It was established that the respiration rate and efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation were higher in August rats than in Wistar ones.

[Morphological changes of THP-1 tumor cells exposed to dopamine in vitro].

The effect of dopamine (DA) on the viability and morphology of cultured tumor THP-1 cells (human acute monocytic leukemia) was studied. DA in concentration of 10(-5) M had virtually no effect on the culture, while in concentration of 10(-4) M to 10(-3) M it stopped the growth and caused a sharp increase in cell death after 24 and 48 hours. Incubation with DA reduced the cell diameter, progressively increased their vacuolization and intensity of fluorescence after treatment by Falck method.
