As mentioned earlier, a stack is typically used during subroutine CALLs. The CPU automatically PUSHes the return address onto a stack after executing a subroutine CALL instruction in the main program. After executing a RETURN from a subroutine instruction (placed by the programmer as the last instruction of the subroutine), the CPU automatically POPs the return address from the stack (previously PUSHed) and then returns control to the main program. Note that the PIC18F accesses the stack from the top. This means that the stack pointer in the PIC18F holds the address of the bottom of the stack. Hence, in the PIC18F, the stack pointer is incremented after a PUSH, and decremented after a POP. 2.3.2 Control Unit The main purpose of the control unit is to read and decode instructions from the program memory.

  • Play Clock Operator Guide
    NFHS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOTBALL GAME AND PLAY CLOCK OPERATORS A. The game and play clock operators should report to the game officials at the stadium at least 30 minutes before game time for the following purposes: 1. To synchronize timer’s watch with official game time as established by the game official responsible for timing. 2. To advise game officials whether the game clock operator and/or play clock operator will be in the press box or on the field/side- line. Determine procedure for communications with both operators and test procedures prior to the games. 3. To discuss coordination of starting, stopping and adjusting the game clock or play clock in accordance with the playing rules. 4. To discuss if the game clock horn (mechanical signal) can be turned off. Preference is for the game clock horn (mechanical signal) to be turned off for the duration of the game. B. The game clock is normally started 30 minutes before game time. The halftime intermission will start on the referee’s signal when the players and game officials leave the field. All pregame and halftime activities shall be synchronized with the game clock. The mandatory three-minute warm-up period will be put on the game clock after the intermission time has elapsed and shall be started immediately. C. The game clock operator shall have an extra stopwatch available. In case of failure of the game clock, the game clock operator shall immediately contact the game officials, giving them the correct data regarding the official time. The game official responsible for timing will then pick up the correct game time on the stopwatch.

  • Agonists and Knockdown of Estrogen Receptor Β Differentially Affect
    Schüler-Toprak et al. BMC Cancer (2016) 16:951 DOI 10.1186/s12885-016-2973-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Agonists and knockdown of estrogen receptor β differentially affect invasion of triple-negative breast cancer cells in vitro Susanne Schüler-Toprak1*, Julia Häring1, Elisabeth C. Inwald1, Christoph Moehle2, Olaf Ortmann1 and Oliver Treeck1 Abstract Background: Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) is expressed in the majority of invasive breast cancer cases, irrespective of their subtype, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Thus, ERβ might be a potential target for therapy of this challenging cancer type. In this in vitro study, we examined the role of ERβ in invasion of two triple-negative breast cancer cell lines. Methods: MDA-MB-231 and HS578T breast cancer cells were treated with the specific ERβ agonists ERB-041, WAY200070, Liquiritigenin and 3β-Adiol. Knockdown of ERβ expression was performed by means of siRNA transfection. Effects on cellular invasion were assessed in vitro by means of a modified Boyden chamber assay. Transcriptome analyses were performed using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. Pathway and gene network analyses were performed by means of Genomatix and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software. Results: Invasiveness of MBA-MB-231 and HS578T breast cancer cells decreased after treatment with ERβ agonists ERB-041 and WAY200070. Agonists Liquiritigenin and 3β-Adiol only reduced invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells. Knockdown of ERβ expression increased invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 cells about 3-fold. Transcriptome and pathway analyses revealed that ERβ knockdown led to activation of TGFβ signalling and induced expression of a network of genes with functions in extracellular matrix, tumor cell invasion and vitamin D3 metabolism.

  • Neurobiological Functions of the Period Circadian Clock 2 Gene, Per2
    Review Biomol Ther 26(4), 358-367 (2018) Neurobiological Functions of the Period Circadian Clock 2 Gene, Per2 Mikyung Kim, June Bryan de la Peña, Jae Hoon Cheong and Hee Jin Kim* Department of Pharmacy, Uimyung Research Institute for Neuroscience, Sahmyook University, Seoul 01795, Republic of Korea Abstract Most organisms have adapted to a circadian rhythm that follows a roughly 24-hour cycle, which is modulated by both internal (clock-related genes) and external (environment) factors. In such organisms, the central nervous system (CNS) is influenced by the circadian rhythm of individual cells. Furthermore, the period circadian clock 2 (Per2) gene is an important component of the circadian clock, which modulates the circadian rhythm. Per2 is mainly expressed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus as well as other brain areas, including the midbrain and forebrain. This indicates that Per2 may affect various neurobiological activities such as sleeping, depression, and addiction. In this review, we focus on the neurobiological functions of Per2, which could help to better understand its roles in the CNS. Key Words: Circadian rhythm, Per2 gene, Sleep, Depression, Addiction, Neurotransmitter INTRODUCTION and lives in organisms because it can impart effects from the level of cells to organs including the brain.

  • Circadian Rhythmicity and the Influence of 'Clock

Since the mid-1990s, reports in the literature pointed out f androgen receptor higher incidences of CaP in some select groups, such as airline pilots and night shift f melatonin workers in comparison with those working regular hours. The common finding in these f per1 ‘high-risk’ groups was that they all experienced a deregulation of the body’s internal f bmal1 circadian rhythm. Here, we discuss how the circadian rhythm affects androgen levels and modulates CaP development and progression. Circadian rhythmicity of androgen Endocrine-Related Cancer Endocrine-Related production is lost in CaP patients, with the clock genes Per1 and Per2 decreasing, and Bmal1 increasing, in these individuals. Periodic expression of the clock genes was restored upon administration of the neurohormone melatonin, thereby suppressing CaP progression. Activation of the melatonin receptors and the AR antagonized each other, and therefore the tumour-suppressive effects of melatonin and the clock genes were most clearly observed in the absence of androgens, that is, in conjunction with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
