Abstract: A data processing system for implementing operations that generate a dynamically-sized output is presented. The data processing system includes a reconfigurable processor that is configured to implement a first operation, a second operation, a recording unit, and a control unit. The first operation generates an output, wherein a size of the output is unknown during a configuration phase. The second operation receives the output of the first operation as an input. The recording unit generates control data that is indicative of the size of the output. The control unit that provides the control data to the second operation, wherein the second operation processes the input based on the control data.

Abstract: An electrochemical screening method for the selection of DNA aptamers against 11-deoxycortisol (11-DCL) using gold electrode for target immobilization is described. The gold electrode is used as solid matrix instead of the beads for SELEX. The selection steps (SELEX) are performed on the 11-DC modified electrode directly as the DNA library in the first round or the enriched DNA pools in the subsequent rounds were incubated on the electrode, then the unbound DNA is washed and the bound DNA is measured directly by square wave voltammetry. Then elution of the bound DNA is performed for further use.
