Some empirical and theoretical studies have emphasized on fixed exchange rate regime in controlling time inconsistency, while others consider the role of target zone regime as an important factor. Thus there is no general consensus to decide which exchange rate regime may bring about less time-inconsistency. The main purpose of this study is to investigate policy time-inconsistency in exchange ...

VFP is a Vector Floating-Point unit in ARM processors. It enables ARM processors to handle auxiliary floating-point operations with hardware, which has become an essential part for performance in recent mobile devices. However, mobile virtualization such as Xen-ARM does not support virtual VFP, so floating point operations are very slow in mobile virtual machine. To overcome the performance lim...

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 point arithmetic is widely used in many areas, especially scientific computation and signal processing. The main applications of floating points today are in the field of medical imaging, biometrics, motion capture and audio applications. Multipliers play an important role in today‟s digital signal processing and various other applications. A system‟s performance is generally determine...

Processing floating point division generally consists of SRT recurrence, quotient conversion, rounding, and normalization steps. In the rounding step, a high speed adder is required for increment operation, increasing the overall execution time. In this paper, a floating point divider performing quotient conversion and rounding in parallel is presented by analyzing the operational characteristi...

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...

Floating-point arithmetic is an essential ingredient of embedded systems, such as in the avionics and automotive industries. By nature, many of these applications are safety-critical, requiring rigorous mathematical methods such as model checking to verify the adherence to safety standards. One of the bottlenecks in comparing different approaches to the floating-point program verification probl...

Floating-point arithmetic differs from real arithmetic, which makes programming with floating-point numbers tricky. Estimating the precision of a floating-point computation in a program, i.e., estimating the difference with the result of the same sequence of operations in an idealized real number semantics, is then necessary. Tools like Fluctuat, based on abstract interpretation, have been desi...

Eutrophic aquatic habitats are characterized by the proliferation of vegetation leading to a large standing biomass that upon decomposition may create hypoxic (low-oxygen) conditions. This is indeed the case in nutrient impacted estuaries of Prince Edward Island, Canada, where macroalgae, from the genus Ulva, form submerged ephemeral mats. Hydrological forces and gases released from photosynthe...
