Real-time PCR continues to have a major impact across many disciplines of the biological sciences and this has been a driver to develop and improve existing instruments. From the first two commercial platforms introduced in the mid 1990s, there is now a choice in excess of a dozen instruments, which continues to increase. Advances include faster thermocycling times, higher throughput, flexibili...

Hidekazu Taoka and Kenichi Higuchi An ultra-high-speed packet transmission experiment for achieving a transmission data rate of approximately 5 Gbit/s (spectral efficiency of 50 bit/s/Hz) was performed using a 100-MHz channel bandwidth in broadband packet radio access. The spectrum efficiency of 50 bit/s/Hz nearly approaches the upper limit in cellular environments near a cell site taking into ...

Sustained release tablets of Rosuvastatin were developed to prolong r e l e a s e o f time leading to an increase in drug bioavailability.Tablets are prepared by direct compression technique using polymers HPMC K15M,HPMC K50M and ethylcellulose.Tablets were evaluated for their physical characteristics viz.,hardness, thickness, friability and weight variation, drug content and floating propertie...

Since the invention of real-time PCR (qPCR), thousands of high-impact studies have been conducted and published using qPCR technique (Heid et al. 1996; Higuchi et al. 1993; VanGuilder, Vrana, and Freeman 2008). Because it is highly sensitive, qPCR is the preferred method for microarray data validation (Canales et al. 2006); however the most exciting applications have been in the discovery of ne...

The purpose of this study was formulation and in vitro evaluation of floating-bioadhesive tablets to lengthen the stay of glipizide in its absorption area. Effervescent tablets were made using chitosan (CH), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), carbopolP934 (CP), polymethacrylic acid (PMA), citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate. Tablets with 5% effervescent base had longer lag time than 10%. The...

The aim of this work is to investigate the change of fractal dimension Df with the help of Higuchi Fractal Dimension measure (HFD) in Event-Related Potentials (ERP) of human EEG time series, obtained as a result of oddball paradigm usage and auditory stimulation with instruction for passive listening and counting tasks, depending on gender, personality type and task condition. In our study 77 h...
