A general equation was derived, which directly describes the mathematical relationship between the allometrically predicted pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters in humans and the body weights of animal species (along with their corresponding measured PK parameters). It was shown, with use of the derived equation, that the predicted values in humans, based on combinations of animal species commonly u...

We present a coupled-mode theory of fiber-optic add-drop filters, which involve directional coupling between two fibers combined with fiber Bragg gratings defined inside the coupling region. The analysis self-consistently accounts for both the directional and the reflection coupling, and the propagation constants and structure of the supermodes of the combined structure are derived. We present ...

readymade garment industries are the prominent economic sector for bangladesh as well as scoping the huge working area for workers. but health condition of workers, drinking water quality, and proper maintenance of the environmental parameters are not well monitored. this study aims to assess the physio-chemical and bacteriological quality of drinking water provided for the garment workers in d...

Abstract—This paper proposes for the first time symbolic formula of the power spectrum of CMOS Cross Couple Oscillator and its modified circuit. Many principles existed to derived power spectrum in microwave textbook such as impedance, admittance parameters, ABCD, H parameters, etc. It can be compared by graph of power spectrum which methodology is the best from the point of view of practical m...

The objective was to evaluate possible pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions for repeated nightly zolpidem dosing with fluoxetine. Twenty-nine healthy female volunteers (mean age, 25. 6 years) received zolpidem (10 mg) and fluoxetine (20 mg) in the following open design: zolpidem on night 1 followed by 1 washout day, a daily morning dose of fluoxetine on days 3 through 27, and a morn...

Many kinds of computer vision problems can be formalized as statistical estimation problems with nuisance parameters. In the past, such problems have been solved without making any distinction between the nuisance parameters and structural ones. However, a theory of statistics suggests that eliminating the nuisance parameters by assuming a probability distribution on them improves estimation ac...

Journal of the Malta College of Pharmacy Practice 23 In this paper an overview will be given of how knowledge of pharmacokinetic mechanisms determines which pharmacokinetic characteristics an AED should have. Various clinical factors such as age, underlying physiological conditions and drug interactions will also affect the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of AED medication. It will be shown how b...
