In comparison to dense matrices multiplication, sparse matrices multiplication real performance for CPU is roughly 5–100 times lower when expressed in GFLOPs. For sparse matrices, microprocessors spend most of the time on comparing matrices indices rather than performing floating-point multiply and add operations. For 16-bit integer operations, like indices comparisons, computational power of t...

Objective: The objective of the present study was to formulate a controlled release floating tablet of Olmesartan Medoxomil. Methods: Floating tablets of Olmesartan Medoxomil were prepared by direct compression method using both natural (sodium alginate and carrageenan) and semi synthetic polymers (HPMC K4M, HPMC K100LV and HPMC E50LV).Sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate were used as gas g...

With the aim of extending the use of integrated variational principles on fluid and deckplate to the large deflection analysis of floating roofs, this paper investigates the significance of theflexural and membrane components in the formulations of the deck plate. Applying integratedvariational principles on deck plate and fluid facilitate the treatment of the compatibility ofdeformation betwee...

In patients with mitral stenosis (MS), a free-floating ball thrombus in the left atrium (LA) is a very rare clinical manifestation, but has potentially catastrophic consequences such as fatal systemic emboli or total obstruction of the narrowed mitral valve orifice, often resulting in sudden death. In this report, we demonstrated a free-floating ball thrombus within the LA cavity and transient ...

This paper presents a novel technique used in the multiply-add-fused (MAF) unit of the IBM RlSC System/6000* (RS/6000) processor for normalizing the floating-point results. Unlike the conventional procedures applied thus far, the so-called leading-zero anticipator (LZA) of the RS/SOOO carries out processing of the leading zeros and ones in parallel with floating-point addition. Therefore, the n...

Objective: The main purpose of this study is to prepare a floating micro articulated drug delivery system of ciprofloxacin by using non-aqueous solvent evaporation technique to increase the bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness of the drug by prolonging its gastric residence time. Methods: Floating microparticles were prepared by using different low-density polymers such as ethyl cellul...

In the current study, floating dosage form containing acyclovir was developed to increase its oral bioavailability. Effervescent floating tablets containing 200 mg acyclovir were prepared by direct compression method with three different rate controlling polymers including Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K4M, Carbapol 934, and Polyvinylpyrrolidone. Optimized formulation showed good floating prope...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Baclofen, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant, is indicated in the long-term treatment of spasticity. It is difficult to formulate baclofen sustained release dosage forms because its absorption on arrival to colon (or even before) is low or nonexistent. In the present investigation efforts were made to improve the bioavailability of baclofen by in...

Floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) are utilized to target discharge in the stomach or upper parts of intestine. Famotidine has been most extensively used for management peptic ulcer various decades. The current study concerns development and evaluation floating tablets famotidine which, after oral administration, planned extend gastric residence time, enhance bioavailability aim ulcer. A FDD...
