Loop unrolling in multi-pipeline ASIP design [PDF]

2009 International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems (ICIIS), 2009
Application Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP) is one of the popular processor design techniques for embedded systems which allows customizability in processor design without overly hindering design flexibility. Multi-pipeline ASIPs were proposed to improve the performance of such systems by compromising between speed and processor area.

First documented observation of differential dorsoventral coat colouration in wild boar Sus scrofa (Artyodactyla: Suidae) in Italy

Natural History Sciences
Wild boar Sus scrofa usually shows a uniform brown coat, but different colour patterns have been observed with red, brown, black, and white morphs. Nevertheless, coat colour polymorphism is often associated with hybridization with domestic pigs.

Alteration of sheep coat color pattern by disruption of ASIP gene via CRISPR Cas9

Scientific Reports, 2017
Coat color is an important characteristic and economic trait in domestic sheep. Aiming at alteration of Chinese merino sheep coat color by genome manipulation, we disrupted sheep agouti signaling protein gene by CRISPR/Cas9.
