Background: 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline (DMQ) is a naturally occurring compound with documented antifungal activity. It showed also good in vitro physicochemical and pharmacokinetic characteristics.
 Methods: The wound healing activity of 1% DMQ hydrogel healthy adult male Wister rats were evaluated using the excision model. On day 7, mean percentage closure area was determined. animals sacrif...

The use of GPUs for general-purpose applications promises huge performance returns for a small investment. However the internal design of such processors is undocumented and many details are unknown, preventing developers to optimize their code for these architectures. One solution is to use functional simulation to determine program behavior and gather statistics when counters are missing or u...

This paper presents the problem of a vendor-buyer integrated production inventory model for two stage supply chain under investment for quality improvement. The buyer faces as a linear demand, which is assumed to be function of its unit selling price. Total profit is the supply chain performance measure and it is computed as the difference between revenue from sales and total cost, where the la...

the main purpose of this study is to empirically compare of intellectual capital (ic) and its efficiency between advanced and low technology manufacturing companies using a sample of 135 malaysian listed manufacturing companies during the 2006-2012 period. the manufacturing companies are classified into different sectors based on their products and services (standard industrial classification (...

We consider a mean-variance general equilibrium economy where the expected returns for controlling and non-controlling shareholders are different because the former are able to divert a fraction of the profits. We find that when investor protection is poor, asset return correlation affects ownership structure in a positive way. Higher return correlation lowers the benefits of diversification wh...

Software developers and project managers often have to assess the quality of software design. A commonly adopted hypothesis is that a good design should cost less to maintain than a poor design. In this paper, we propose a model for quantifying the quality of a design from a maintainability perspective. Based on this model, we propose a novel strategy for predicting the “Return on Investment” (...

This paper analyzes the output, abatement, and investment decisions made by a monopolistic polluter under environmental liability law. The model applied considers both integrated and end-of-pipe abatement technologies. We find that in the case of fixed technology, in many instances negligence produces more favorable results than strict liability in terms of social welfare. The reason is that ou...

This paper describes Vanu Software Radio technology and its benefits. Its benefits include lower development costs and increased versatility of radio equipment. Development cost and versatility have become important competitive factors for radio equipment manufacturers. Development cost is vital due to the increasing complexity of communications standards. Versatility is necessary due to the ra...
