OBJECTIVE The floating wire technique is a special technique for solving interventional problems in aorta- ostial lesions. There are no long-term data in the literature for the floating wire technique in right aorto-ostial lesions. METHODS One hundred twenty six patients were retrospectively analyzed in this study. All of these patients had a critical right coronary aorto-ostial lesion. The f...

With the advent and wide spread use of computers a number of algorithms have been developed to determine the optimum ultimate pit limits in open pit mining. The main objective of these algorithms is to find groups of blocks that should be removed to yield the maximum overall mining profit under specified economic conditions and technological constraints. The most common methods are: Lerchs and ...

Floating dosage forms of acetylsalicylic acid, used for its antithrombotic effect, were developed to prolong gastric residence time and increase bioavailability. In the two-layer tablet formulation, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) of high viscosity and an effervescent mixture of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate formed the floating layer. The release layer contained the drug, direct table...

In this paper, the implementation of DSP modules such as a floating point ALU are presented and designed. The design is based on high performance FPGA "STRATIX III". The implementation is done after functional and timing simulation. The simulation tool used is Model Sim. The tool for synthesis and implementation is QuartusII [2]. The experimental results shows the functional and timin...

While hardware/software partitioning has been shown to provide significant performance gains, most hardware/software partitioning approaches are limited to partitioning computational kernels utilizing integers or fixed point implementations. Software developers often initially develop an application using built-in floating point representations and later convert the application to a fixed point...

The purpose of this investigation was to prepare a gastro retentive drug delivery system of famotidine tablets. Floating tablets of famotidine were prepared employing lipid solid dispersion spray drying technique with gelucire 50/13 and compritol 888 along with HPMC K100M, lactose, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The floating tablets were evaluated for uniformity of weight, hardness, friabi...

Many small countries are in real need of additional sovereign territory. Sometimes, they even build on rotting landfills and install various kinds of expensive artificial islands. The ocean covers 71% of our Earth’s surface. Those countries (or persons of wealth) starting the early colonization of the ocean may obtain advantages through additional territory or creating their own independent sta...

Today’s digital signal processing applications such as radar, echo cancellation, and image processing are demanding more dynamic range and computation accuracy. Floating-point arithmetic units offer better precision, higher dynamic range, and shorter development cycles when compared to fixed-point arithmetic units. Minimizing the design’s time to market is more important than ever. Algorithm de...

The objective of the present investigation is to formulate Nizatidine loaded superporous floating hydrogel tablets. In the present study Nizatidine floating tablets were prepared by effervescence method using sodium bicarbonate as a gas generating agent. The tablets were formulated using direct compression technology by employing polymers like chitosan, carbopol 934p and ethyl cellulose. The pr...

Floating matrix tablets of domperidone were developed to prolong gastric residence time and thereby increased drug bioavailability. Domperidone was chosen as a model drug because it is poorly absorbed from the lower gastrointestinal tract. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique, using polymers such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose K4M, carbopol 934P, and sodium alginate, either a...
