| Several types of Decision Diagrams (DDs) have have been proposed in the area of Computer Aided Design (CAD), among them being bit-level DDs like OBDDs, OFDDs and OKFDDs. While the aforementioned types of DDs are suitable for representing Boolean functions at the bit-level and have proved useful for a lot of applications in CAD, recently DDs to represent integer-valued functions , like MTBDDs ...

Biocompatible clay materials have attracted particular attention as the efficient drug delivery systems (DDS). In this article, we review developments in the use of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) for controlled drug release and delivery. We show how advances in the ability to synthesize intercalated structures have a significant influence on the development of new applications of these materi...

Natural cells have been explored as drug carriers for a long period. They have received growing interest as a promising drug delivery system (DDS) until recently along with the development of biology and medical science. The synthetic materials, either organic or inorganic, are found to be with more or less immunogenicity and/or toxicity. The cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs), are endogeno...

A scheme of frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) frequency synthesizer suitable for synthesis of radio-frequency (RF) carrier signal in very high frequency (VHF) band is proposed, implemented and tested. The synthesizer is based on the direct digital frequency synthesis (DDFS or DDS) and phase locked loop (PLL) with dynamic monitoring of varicap’s voltage to reduce switching time. The resul...

Dapsone (4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone [DDS]) was administered intravenously to anesthetized dogs; urine was collected, heparinized venous blood was obtained, and bile was collected from some of the dogs. A constant infusion of inulin was maintained, and isosmotic or hypoosmotic fluids were administered. Dogs were studied under conditions of standardized, increased or decreased urine flow, and be...

Background. A panel of experts (the 2014 Panel) convened by the American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs developed an evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) on the use of prophylactic antibiotics in patients with prosthetic joints who are undergoing dental procedures. This CPG is intended to clarify the “Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoi...

Several types of Decision Diagrams (DDs) have been proposed for the veriication of Integrated Circuits. Recently, word-level DDs like bmds, *bmds, hdds, k*bmds and *phdds have been attracting more and more interest, e.g., by using *bmds and *phdds it was for the rst time possible to formally verify integer multipliers and oating point multipliers of \signiicant" bitlengths, respectively. On the...
