Online testing in RFID Memories is a memory testing mechanism, where the memory can be tested simultaneously with the system operation. Hence, it has instant error detection. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices based on the correct operation of their memory for accurate identification of objects and delivery of transponder’s information. This paper presents the concurrent online test scheme for RFID memories based on Memory Built in Self Test (MBIST) architecture, the Finite State Machine (FSM) of transponder access scheme, Symmetric transparent version of March C-algorithm. Online test is achieved by modifying the transponder’s operation and access protocol to make use of the waiting time that transponders waste before being accessed. The solution of this paper was described in VHDL, area and timing results are simulated in Xilinx ISE 9.2i. Results show that the solution overhead is less than 0.1 %, while the timing performance allows testing up to 32-word blocks in a single waiting slot.
High Speed Design Closure Techniques-Balachander KrishnamurthyMassimo Talia
Digital electronics and electronics are not only theory as many Italians are thinking. The investments in electronic design in Italy are very low, since there's the Asian market which specialized their people to the Electronics culture. So The italian electronic engineers are compared to Sciencists, but they're designers of Manifacturing. This webinar describes the main steps and techniques, in order to design a Digital Circuits, to evaluate the timing constraints and the hardware requirements. The webinar is promoted by Xilinx.
Now-a-days, wireless networks increase rapidly in the area of telecommunication networks. Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is most popular wireless network because it is no need of framework, no base station and cost-effective. For communication purpose, we use routing protocol such as AODV (Ad hoc on demand distance vector) protocol, DSDV (Destination sequenced distance vector) protocol, WRP (Wireless routing protocol), ZRP (Zone routing protocol), DSR (Dynamic source routing protocol). In this book, we more learn about AODV routing protocol because it gives the better result as comparisons of other routing protocol. In the MANET, various attacks on the network such as black hole, worm-hole attacks etc. In group of flying insect algorithm is used in routing protocol such as ant, fog, fish, birds, honeybee etc. algorithm. We choose the ant algorithm to simulate the project on MATLAB and to find out the different parameters. This algorithm is used for find out the shortest path between source to destination for fastest communcation between to nodes.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Prediction of functional regulatory
units in noncoding regions
● Look for consensus sequence in certain genomic
regions
● Example TATABox consensus sequence
TATA(T/A)A(A/T)(A/G)
● >chr1:2375696723757090_hg18_1000_+
TTAGTACTTAATGGAGACGGGTGTCATCATATACACAAGTGTTT
AAAAATCGTTTATTATGCAAAATGTTAACTTTTATAAAAAGTTT
AATATACATCGCATTGTTACAGAAAGTCAC
● Problem: does not take into account the
nucleotide frequencies
3. Prediction of functional regulatory
units in noncoding regions
● More advanced way to represent binding sites
(and most popular way) is the positional weight
matrix (PWM)
● 4xL matrix with L being the length of the binding
site
● Each element of the matrix represents the
frequency of a certain nucleotide (the 4 rows) at a
given position of the binding site
4. Prediction of functional regulatory
units in noncoding regions
● Example of the positional weight matrix of the
TATABox:
A [ 61 16 352 3 354 268 360 222 155 56 83 82 82 68 77 ]
C [145 46 0 10 0 0 3 2 44 135 147 127 118 107 101 ]
G [152 18 2 2 5 0 20 44 157 150 128 128 128 139 140 ]
T [ 31 309 35 374 30 121 6 121 33 48 31 52 61 75 71 ]
6. Prediction of functional regulatory
units in noncoding regions
● PWMs provide a more natural way to represent
and search for binding sites
● Problem: motifs tend to be short and
degenerative. No positional dependencies are
taken into account...
● Although this is the most popular method, most
of the predicted sites are false positive predictions
with no known real in vivo functionality
(~ Futility theorem)
7. Prediction of functional regulatory
units in noncoding regions
● Solutions:
– Use information of flanking sequences
– Use more complex models (biophysical models)
– Use sequence conservation across species (if a
site is conserved across species, there is a
higher probability the site is functional)
– ...
8. Prediction of functional regulatory

9. What is ConTra?
● A tool to visualize predicted and conserved
transcription factor binding sites in a region of
interest
● A tool to explore the regulatory potential of a set
of binding sites in a region of interest
● Focus on ease of use
● Free access to the latests and most uptodate
versions of the TRANSFAC and JASPAR PWM
libraries
13. What is new?
● Update of PWM libraries
● More reference species were added
14. What is new?
● Users are no longer restricted to the promoter
region. One can search for binding sites in 5'
UTR, 3'UTR, promoter and intron regions
● Users can upload their own matrices (it is as
simple as uploading a multifasta file!)
● Users can upload a custom alignment
● Noncoding genes are no longer excluded from
the analysis
15. PWM libraries
● TRANSFAC version 2010.04
● Jaspar update 2010
● Phylophacts 2010
● All protein binding microarrays from Berger et
al. Cell, 2008
● These PWM libraries are used in combination
with the match scan tool
16. Alignments in ConTra
● Alignments generated using MULTIZ
● Downloaded from UCSC genome browser
17. How does it work?
● The analysis consists of a four step process
Step 1
– Select type of analysis: visualization or
exploration
– Select species
– Select gene of interest using the gene name or
symbol, Ensembl gene ID (ENSG), entrez gene
ID, RefSeq (NM_|NR_) or Ensembl transcript
ID (ENST)
18. How does it work?
● The analysis consists of a four step process
Step 2
– All possible matches with your search term are
listed. Search term is highlighted
– Select 1 transcript of your gene of interest
19. How does it work?
● The analysis consists of a four step process
Step 3
