Multi-component lipid emulsions, rather than soy-oil emulsions, prevent cholestasis by an unknown mechanism. Here, we quantified liver function, bile acid pools, and gut microbial and metabolite profiles in premature, parenterally fed pigs given a soy-oil lipid emulsion, Intralipid (IL); a multi component lipid emulsion, SMOFlipid (SMOF); a novel emulsion with a modified fatty-acid composition (EXP); or a control enteral diet (ENT) for 22 days. We assayed serum cholestasis markers; measured total bile acid levels in plasma, liver, and gut contents; and analyzed colonic bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences and metabolomic profiles. Serum cholestasis markers (i.e. bilirubin, bile acids, and g-glutamyl transferase) were highest in IL-fed pigs and normalized in those given SMOF, EXP, or ENT. Gut bile acid pools were lowest in the IL treatment and were increased in the SMOF and EXP treatments and comparable to ENT. Multiple bile acids, especially their conjugated forms, were higher in the colon contents of SMOF and EXP than in IL pigs. Colonic microbial communities of SMOF and EXP pigs had lower relative abundance of several Gram-positive anaerobes, including Clostridrium XIVa, and higher abundance of Enterobacteriaceae than those of IL and ENT pigs. Differences in lipid and microbial-derived compounds were also observed in colon metabolite profiles. These results indicate that multi-component lipid emulsions prevent cholestasis and restore enterohepatic bile flow in association with gut microbial and metabolomic changes. We conclude that sustained bile flow induced by multi-component lipid emulsions likely exerts a dominant effect in reducing bile acid–sensitive, Gram-positive bacteria.

In bottom-up mass spectrometry-based proteomics, relative protein quantification is often achieved with data-dependent acquisition (DDA), data-independent acquisition (DIA), or selected reaction monitoring (SRM). These workflows quantify proteins by summarizing the abundances of all the spectral features of the protein (e.g., precursor ions, transitions or fragments) in a single value per protein per run. When abundances of some features are inconsistent with the overall protein profile (for technological reasons such as interferences, or for biological reasons such as post-translational modifications), the protein-level summaries and the downstream conclusions are undermined. We propose a statistical approach that automatically detects spectral features with such inconsistent patterns. The detected features can be separately investigated, and if necessary removed from the dataset. We evaluated the proposed approach on a series of benchmark controlled mixtures and biological investigations with DDA, DIA and SRM data acquisitions. The results demonstrated that it can facilitate and complement manual curation of the data. Moreover, it can improve the estimation accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of detecting differentially abundant proteins, and reproducibility of conclusions across different data processing tools. The approach is implemented as an option in the open-source R-based software MSstats.

The SHV β-lactamases (BLs) have undergone strong allele diversification that changed their substrate specificities. Based on 147 NCBI entries for SHV alleles, in silico mathematical models predicted five positions as relevant for the β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) resistant (2br) phenotype, 12 as relevant for the extended-spectrum BL (ESBL) (2be) phenotype, and two positions were related to solely the narrow spectrum (2b) phenotype. These positions and additional 6 positions described in other studies (including one promoter mutation), were systematically substituted and investigated for their substrate specificities in a BL-free E. coli background, representing, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive substrate and substitution analysis for SHV alleles to date. An in vitro analysis confirmed the essentiality of the positions 238 and 179 for the 2be phenotype and 69 for the 2br phenotype. The substitutions E240K and E240R, which do not occur alone in known 2br SHV variants, led to a 2br phenotype, indicating a latent BLI-resistance potential of these substitutions. The substitutions M129V, A234G, S271I and R292Q conferred latent resistance to cefotaxime. In addition, 7 positions that were found to be not always associated with the ESBL phenotype resulted in increased resistance to ceftaroline. We also observed that coupling of a strong promoter (IS26) to a A146V mutant with the 2b phenotype resulted in a highly increased resistance to BLIs, cefepime and ceftaroline but not to 3^rd generation cephalosporins, indicating that SHV enzymes represent an underestimated risk for empirical therapies that use piperacillin/tazobactam or cefepime to treat different infectious diseases caused by gram-negatives.

Modern systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) continue to increase in complexity, adding more components and calculation power to accommodate new performance-hungry applications such as machine learning and autonomous driving.  With increased number of SoC components, such as CPUs, GPUs, accelerators and I/O devices, comes increased demand to correctly model interoperability of various components. Traditional simulation of complex systems requires accurate models of all components comprising the system and normally results in very long simulation times. A better way is to create a set of typical traffic profiles which describe behavior of system’s masters and slaves. Such profiles should be abstract to be applied to various protocols and interfaces and be portable to be applied throughout different SoC design and verification cycles.

To address the challenges outlined above, Arm has recently announced availability of the AMBA® Adaptive Traffic Profiles (AMBA ATP) specification which lays foundation of a new synthetic traffic framework. The AMBA ATP specification includes detailed information of various transaction types and timing characteristics of those transactions. The traffic profiles defined in the specification are abstract in nature and thus could be used to generate stimuli for various standard AMBA protocols and in various environments such as RTL-based simulation, FPGA prototyping and final SoC verification. The traffic profiles outlined in the specification include a set of parameters to define timing relationships between transactions as well as timing relationships within individual transactions. Even though the traffic profile represents the behavior of a single agent it could be applied either in a concurrent manner (e.g. write and read traffic profiles running in parallel) or in a sequential manner (e.g. when one traffic completes before the next one start). Moreover, when simulating a reasonably complex system, it is possible to coordinate traffic profiles generated by multiple components. While providing abstract definition of traffic profiles, the AMBA ATP specification focuses on the use of traffic profiles with an AMBA AXI interface, outlining signaling, timing relationships between different transaction phases and between different transactions. The same application principles could be used to map the abstract traffic profiles to other AMBA protocols such as AMBA5 CHI protocol.  

To facilitate adoption of the AMBA Adaptive Traffic Profiles, Cadence has recently announced availability of SystemVerilog UVM ATP Sequence Layer which automatically implements mapping of an abstract ATP traffic to AMBA protocol specific traffic, generated by Cadence AMBA Verification IP. The ATP layer is implemented as a SystemVerilog UVM virtual sequence with the sequence item including all ATP transaction parameters as defined in the specification.

Using the provided sequence infrastructure, users can write tests to define and coordinate traffic profiles for various components in the system. The ATP Layer automatically converts the abstract traffic profile into AMBA protocol-specific traffic, e.g., AMBA5 CHI protocol traffic.

 A sample code below, shows an example of a read profile translated by Cadence ACE Verification IP in ACE protocol traffic.

                        ace_atp_vseq.dataSize == 4;                                          // number of bytes in each transfer

                        ace_atp_vseq.rate == 150.0/(50.0);                                // requestedBandwidth / clkFrequency

                        ace_atp_vseq.start == ATP_EMPTY;                              // start condition of the ATP FIFO

                        ace_atp_vseq.full == 128;                                               // full level of the ATP FIFO

                        ace_atp_vseq.numOfTransactions == 500;                    // number of bursts issued by this sequence

                        ace_atp_vseq.ARTV == 2;                                              // sub-transaction delay

                        ace_atp_vseq.RBR == 3;                                                // sub-transaction delay

                       });

Question for forum:

I’m currently working on a code to automatically add CLP files to DRA files and then add two classes called “APPROVED” and “CLP”. To do this manually you have to open a DRA file, click file import subdrawing and choose the clp file with the same name as dra. (path already set). You then set the clp to position x 0 0. And then click on Set Up > Subclasses > Package geometry and type in “Approved” and “Clp.”

So far we’ve recorded the macros in Allegro for all of these actions. The macros correspond to one specific file name and we want to apply this to numerous files. To do this we created a python program that locates all of the specified CLP and DRA files, and if they have a matching name, runs a for loop that puts each file name into a stored variable that runs a loop for each file. We converted this script into batch and then added a function that we thought would run Allegro macros from batch.

In order to get the script working, we need to have an allegro batch command that will run the script without opening the Allegro start popup, or closing the popup when it appears.  We need to do this to run any script from starting Allegro.

I’ve done another similar program in batch where I made a for loop for each dra file and within the loop there was a batch a2dxf command that converted all dra files to dxf files. Is there a similar batch command for adding clp files to position 0 0 and/ or adding classes? If anyone has done something similar please let me know!

Thank you very much for the help.

Hello,

I am trying to import multiple verilog modules defined in a single file with "`define" directive in the top using Verilog In. The code below is an example of what my file contains.

When I use the settings below to import the modules into a library, it imports it correctly but completely ignores all `define directive; hence when I simulate using any of the modules below the simulator errors out requesting these variables.

My question: Is there a way to make Verilog In consider `define directives in every module cell created?

iWatch is a real-time filesystem monitoring program. It is a tool for detecting any changes on your filesystem and reporting it to the system administrator immediately. It uses a simple configuration file in XML format and is based on inotify, a file change notification system in the Linux kernel.

cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.

This Metasploit module exploits an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Numara / BMC Track-It! v8 to v11.X. The application exposes the FileStorageService .NET remoting service on port 9010 (9004 for version 8) which accepts unauthenticated uploads. This can be abused by a malicious user to upload a ASP or ASPX file to the web root leading to arbitrary code execution as NETWORK SERVICE or SYSTEM. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on versions 11.3.0.355, 10.0.51.135, 10.0.50.107, 10.0.0.143, 9.0.30.248 and 8.0.2.51.
