BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Multiparticulates by powder layering process have advantages of the uniform distribution of the binder solution, easy-to-clean pan and the possibility of applying the successive functional film coating using the same equipment. This study relates to a multiparticulate formulation comprising pellets with a multilayer of pectin-ethyl cellulose on non pareil...

In this paper, we propose five low dimensional...

Neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements of ultrathin surface films (below 30 nm) composed of Bombyx mori silk fibroin protein in combination with atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry were used to reveal the internal structural organization in both dry and swollen states. Reconstituted aqueous silk solution deposited on a silicon substrate using the spin-assisted layer-by-layer (SA-LbL) tec...

To my wonderful parents and my beloved family. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Completing this Ph.D. has been an exciting long journey, and it would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor Professor Henry L. Owen for his continuous support and guidance throughout my studies. Professor Owen has been an awesome mentor-he trul...

Visual perception depends on integration of the eyes' raw sensory input with information distributed across distinct regions of the brain. Recordings of neuronal activity in monkeys reveal that these two types of signal reach visual cortex in spatially distinct layers.

Implementing a security policy has to cope with the diversity of communication requirements and applications. We present a policy oriented approach from the observation of common problems and characteristics given in networked applications. The solution reduces the trust required into the security system to a single entity. This is done in an application independent manner by fooling the applic...

We consider the Asakura–Oosawa–Vrij model of hard sphere colloids and ideal polymer coils in contact with a planar hard wall at (colloidal) liquid–gas coexistence. Using extensive numerical density functional calculations, the liquid–gas, wall–liquid and wall–gas interfacial free energies are calculated. The results are inserted into Young’s equation to obtain the contact angle between the liqu...

The present communication deals with the vegetative propagation through air layering technique in L. reticluata, know as Jivanti in Ayurvedic medicinal plant, The results reveal tat ceradik treated twigs produced profuse and earl rooting with higher survival percentage.

In this paper, we propose Layered TCP (LTCP for short), a simple layering technique for the congestion window response of TCP to make it more scalable in highspeed networks. LTCP is a two dimensional congestion control framework the macroscopic control uses the concept of layering to quickly and efficiently make use of the available bandwidth whereas microscopic control extends the existing AIM...

We establish rigorous foundations to the use of modular, layered design for building complex distributed systems. Layering is key to the design of the Internet and other distributed systems, hence such solid, theoretical foundations are essential, especially when considering adversarial settings, such as for security and cryptographic protocols. We define the basic concepts for modular, layered...
