This paper describes musical experiments aimed at designing control structures for navigating complex and continuous sonic spaces. The focus is on sound processing techniques which contain a high number of control parameters, and which exhibit subtle and interesting micro-variations and textural qualities when controlled properly. The examples all use a simple low-dimensional controller a stand...

This paper describes an on-line handwritten Japanese text recognition method that is liberated from constraints on writing direction (line direction) and character orientation. This method estimates the line direction and character orientation using the time sequence information of pen-tip coordinates and employs writingbox-free recognition with context processing combined. The method can cope ...

This paper presents the application of a touch sensitive tablet technology in the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of brain activity in brain tumor patients as a part of their preoperative planning. The technology enables comprehensive brain mapping of language processing areas using multi-modal cognitive tests including complex writing and spelling tasks. Highly enhanced specificit...

in this study, different derivative spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the simultaneous determination of chlorpheniramine maleate (cp), phenylephrine hcl (pe) and phenylpropanolamine hcl (pp) in their ternary mixtures and in pharmaceutical dosage forms. spectra of single component and ternary mixtures of various concentrations and combinations from zero- to fourth-derivation were obtai...

Abstract Chemical mapping by Raman spectroscopy is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to characterise distribution of components within tablets; however, current methods do not go beyond examining an exposed surface area a sample. There are known limitations with estimating domain size and shape statistics from 2D chemical images as values obtained will depend on where sectioned, potent...

The functionality and performance of technology has consistently predicted technology use. However, there are other reasons related to social and psychological forces influencing technology use. This study investigates the social drivers of tablet technology use. In particular, the study focuses on the image associated with tablet technology and the influence of this image on Tablet Use. Using ...

Buspirone hydrochloride is supplied as tablets for oral administration containing 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg of buspirone hydrochloride USP. The 5 mg and 10 mg tablets are scored so they can be bisected. Thus, the 5 mg tablet can also provide a 2.5 mg dose, and the 10 mg tablet can provide a 5 mg dose. The 15 mg tablet is scored so it can be either bisected or trisected. Thus, a single tablet...

Tablet in tablet formulation, containing Aceclofenac (API) in core tablet and coated with hydroxylpropyl cellulose (HPC) was evaluated for time drug release with predetermined lag time and subsequent rapid release phase. Various types of press coated tablets were prepared using single punch tablet machine. They were evaluated for various physicochemical properties and in vitro dissolution study...

Content uniformity (CU) of tablets is a critical property that needs to be well controlled in pharmaceutical products. Methods that predict the CU accurately can greatly help in reducing the development efforts. This article presents a statistical mechanical framework for predicting CU based on first principles at the molecular level. The tablet is modeled as an open system that can be treated ...

Handwriting is a complex human activity that engages a blend of cognitive and visual motor skills. Current understanding of the neural correlates of handwriting has largely come from lesion studies of patients with impaired handwriting. Task-based fMRI studies would be useful to supplement this work. To address concerns over ecological validity, previously we developed a fMRI-compatible, comput...
