FIG. 3. Confocal images showing the location of the SR in live myocytes within an intact, small diameter (< 250 nm passive diameter), pressurized (70 mmHg) artery from the rat mesenteric artery arcade. The artery was loaded with Fluo-4 as the membrane-permeant acetoxymethyl ester. Some of this high-affinity, Ca2+ indicator dye is often sequestered in the SR (cf. Goldman et al 1990). The SR can then be readily visualized, especially when [Ca2+]CYx is low (as in the panels at 0 and 6.8 s), because the intra-SR dye is saturated with Ca2+, and fluoresces brightly. This artery was treated with 1.0 fim phenylephrine (PE), which caused the [Ca2+]CYT level to oscillate asynchronously in the cells seen in the centre of the panel. The cell outlines are clearly visible when [Ca2+]CYT tiscs, as in the panels at 3.4 and 10.2 s. Note that nearly all of the SR (the very bright areas, especially in the 0 and 3.4 s panels) lies parallel to, and immediately beneath the PL (from Miriel at al 1999, with permission). 

The Diels-Alder reaction and related pericyclic reactions, which can be treated qualitatively by the Woodward-Hoffmann rules (Section 4.3.5), have been reviewed in the context of computational chemistry [39]. The reaction is clearly nonionic, and the main controversy was whether it proceeds in a concerted fashion as indicated in Fig. 9.5 or through a diradical, in which one bond has formed and two unpaired electrons have yet to form the other bond. A subtler question was whether the reaction, if concerted, was synchronous or asynchronous whether both new bonds were formed to the same extent as reaction proceeded, or whether the formation of one ran ahead of the formation of the other. Using the CASSCF method (Section 5.4.3), Li and Houk [40] concluded that the butadiene-ethene reaction is concerted and synchronous, and chided Dewar and Jie [41] for stubbornly adhering to the diradical (biradical) mechanism. 

For the above example, a synthesis tool may alternately not generate a latch with asynchronous preset and clear, but direct the preset clear logic into the D-input of a simple latch. This is shown in the synthesized netlist that appears in Figure 2-43.

So far we have talked about synthesizing simple D-type flip-flops. What if we wanted to infer a flip-flop with asynchronous preset and clear To generate such a flip-flop, a special form of if statement has to be used. This is best shown with an example template. 

Since NextState is assigned a value under the control of a clock edge (Stmt C) and it is also assigned asynchronously (Stmt A and B), a falling-edge-triggered flip-flop with asynchronous preset and clear is synthesized. This is shown in Figure 2-53. Note that four flip-flops are required. The first flip-flop (the leftmost bit of NextState) has both asynchronous preset and clear terminals since it needs to be preset on Reset and cleared on Set. Similarly, the fourth flip-flop has both asynchronous preset and clear terminals since it needs to be preset on Set and cleared on Reset. The... 

When synthesizing an asynchronous preset clear flip-flop, the recommendation is to assign only constant values under the asynchronous conditions. If a variable is asynchronously read, there is a potential for a functional mismatch to occur. Here is an example. 

Two flip-flops with asynchronous preset and clear are synthesized for the variable QuickBus. The variable LoadData is connected to the preset clear inputs of the flip-flops through other logic. When PreLoad is active (is 0) and LoadData changes, the outputs of the flip-flops are immediately affected because of the asynchronous data change. However in the design model, any change on LoadData has no effect on the output QuickBus. Thus there is a mismatch.

All of the ab initio calcnlations that include electron correlation to some extent clearly favor the concerted pathway for Reaction 4.1. All of these computations also identified a transition state with Q symmetry, indicating perfectly synchronons bond formation. One method for distinguishing a synchronous from an asynchronous transition state is by secondary kinetic isotope effects (KIEs). Isotopic snbstitution alters the frequencies for all vibrations in which that isotope is involved. This leads to a different vibrational partition function for each isotopicaUy labeled species. Bigeleisen and Mayer determined the ratio of partition functions for isotopicaUy labeled species. Incorporating this into the Eyring transition state theory results in the ratio of rates for the isotopicaUy labeled species (Eq. (d. ))." Computation of the vibrational frequencies is thus...
