Fossil record of penaeids indicates that the family exists since the Triassic period, but extant genera appeared only recently in Tertiary strata. Molecular based divergence time estimates on the matter of penaeid radiation were never properly addressed, due to shortcomings of the global molecular clock assumptions. Here, we studied the diversification patterns of the family, uncovering, more specifically, a correlation between fossil and extant Penaeid fauna. For this, we have used a Bayesian framework that does not assume a global clock. Our results suggest that Penaeid genera originated between 20 million years ago and 43 million years ago, much earlier than expected by previous molecular studies. Altogether, these results promptly discard late Tertiary or even Quaternary hypotheses that presumed a major glaciations influence on the diversification patterns of the family.


In digital design, there are two types of design, synchronous design and asynchronous design. In synchronous design, global clock is one of the main system that consume a lot of power. The power in synchronous design is consumed by clock even if there is no data processing take place. The asynchronous design that depends on data is clockless and as far as the power is concerned, asynchronous design does not consume much power compared with synchronous design and this really make asynchronus design the preffered choice for low power consumption. Besides having low power consumption, there are many advantages of aynchronous design compared with synchronous design. This paper proposed new dual rail completion detector (CD), 3-6 CD, 2-7 CD and 1-4 CD for on-chip communication that are used widely in an asynchronous communication system. The design of CD is based on the principle of sum adder. The circuit is designed by using Altera Quartus II CAD tools, synthesis and implementation process is executed to check the syntax error of the design. The design proved to be successful by using asynchronous on-chip communication in the simulation.

Modern automotive control applications require a holistic time-sensitive development. Nowadays, this is achieved by technologies specifically designed for the automotive domain, like FlexRay, which offer a fault-tolerant time synchronization mechanism built into the protocol. Currently, the automotive industry adopts the Ethernet within the car, not only for embedding consumer electronics, but also as a fast and reliable backbone for control applications. Still, low-cost but highly reliable sensors connected over the traditional Controller Area Network (CAN) deliver data needed for autonomous driving. To fusion the data efficiently among all, a common timebase is required. The alternative would be oversampling, which uses more time and energy, e.g., at least double the perception rates of sensors. Ethernet and CAN do require the latter by default. Hence, a global synchronization mechanism eases tremendously the design of a low power automotive network and is the foundation of a transparent global clock. In this article, we present the first step: Synchronizing legacy FlexRay networks to the upcoming Ethernet backbone, which will contain a precise clock over the generalized Precision Time Protocol (gPTP) defined in IEEE 802.1AS. FlexRay then could still drive its strengths with deterministic transmission behavior and possibly also serve as a redundant technology for fail-operational system design.
