intravitreal injection is the most common approach for drug delivery to the posterior segment in humans. however, following the injection, drugs are rapidly eliminated from the vitreous, with half-lives up to a few days. depending on the rate of clearance from the vitreous, large boluses and frequent administrations may be required to ensure therapeutic levels over an extended period of time. m...

objective (s): transdermal preparations for testosterone are becoming popular because of their unique advantages such as avoidance of first-pass effect, convenience, improved bioavailability, and reduction of systemic side effects. a novel testosterone transdermal delivery system (tdds) was developed using a palm oil base called hamintm (a commercial product) and tested using in vitro and in vi...

1 On Achieving Pro t in Providing Near Video-on-Demand Services S.-H. Gary Chan Fouad A. Tobagi Department of Electrical Engineering Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 Abstract| In near video-on-demand, requests for the same movie arriving within a period of time are grouped together (i.e., batched) and served with a single multicast stream; thereby reducing the bandwidth requirement compar...

Practice changes cause the mislabeling of batched drugs.

This paper examines a discrete-time queuing system with applications to telecommunications traffic. The arrival process is a particular Markov modulated process which belongs to the class of discrete batched Markovian arrival processes. The server process is a single server deterministic queue. A closed form exact solution is given for the expected queue length and delay. A simple system of equ...

We present simple algorithms for batched stochastic multi-armed bandit and linear problems. prove bounds their expected regrets that improve extend the best known regret of Gao, Han, Ren, Zhou (NeurIPS 2019), any number batches. In particular, our in both settings achieve optimal by using only a logarithmic also study adversarial problem first time provide regret, up to factors, algorithm with ...

As modern hardware keeps evolving, an increasingly effective approach to develop energy efficient and high-performance solvers is to design them to work on many small size and independent problems. Many applications already need this functionality, especially for GPUs, which are currently known to be about four to five times more energy efficient than multicore CPUs. We describe the development...
