Technology development is increasingly important for creating efficient and sustainable economies. Policy-makers have encouraged the co-location of technology-based firms that could lead to innovation benefits. One policies are science parks, area developments where firms, universities research institutes co-locate. Science parks enable focus on their core activities. However, trade-off make re...

A capillary electrophoresis method was used for assay of some degradation products of carvedilol. The optimized parameters were as; running buffer 80 mM acetate dissolved in methanol/ethanol mixture (65:35 v/v), applied voltage of 19 kV, temperature is 20 ºC and the wavelength range of 200-350 nm. The results indicate that the proposed CE method could effectively separate carvedilol from its de...

Molecular dynamics simulations, used in conjunction with a set of Born model potentials, have been employed to study oxygen transport in tetragonal La2NiO4+d. We predict an interstitialcy mechanism with an activation energy of migration of 0.51 eV in the temperature range 800–1100 K. The simulations are consistent with the most recent experiments. The prevalence of oxygen diffusion in the a–b p...

PCR-ribotyping has been adopted in many laboratories as the method of choice for C. difficile typing and surveillance. However, issues with the conventional agarose gel-based technique, including inter-laboratory variation and interpretation of banding patterns have impeded progress. The method has recently been adapted to incorporate high-resolution capillary gel-based electrophoresis (CE-ribo...

This work is about the reduction of the electrical consumption of the selection function in the polynomial{−3,−2,−1, 0, 1, 2, 3} evaluation algorithm known as the E-method and presented by M.D. Ercegovac in the 70s. A choice is possible when selecting the result digits in a redundant number representation, it allows a power consumption reduction. The statistical study of the possible gains has ...

Model validation is the formulation of an experiment to test the predictive power of a candidate model. This paper considers an atypical method for combining multiple experiments, which arises due to our choice of measure. We explore a framework for combining multiple experiment information using bifurcation theory. We follow the approach of successive deduction, hypothesis formulation and fals...
