In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for division in residue number system, which can be applied to any moduli set. Simulation results indicated that the algorithm is faster than the most competitive published work. To further improve this speed, we customize this algorithm to serve two specific moduli sets: (2k, 2k −1, 2k−1 −1) and (2k +1, 2k, 2k −1). The customization results in elimina...

This article introduces a new class of experimental designs, called split factorials, which allow for the estimation of both response surface effects (fixed effects of crossed factors) and variance components arising from nested random effects. With an economical run size, split factorials provide flexibility in dividing the degrees of freedom among the different estimations. For a split factor...

It is shown that the existence of a BIB design with parameters v = 2k − 2k+1, b = 2v, r = 2k, k, λ = 1 implies the existence of Hadamard matrices of orders 4v and 8vt, where t is an integer for which an orthogonal design of order 4t and type (t, t, t, t) exists.

According to Moore’s law, the number of transistor embedded on integrated circuit (IC) doubles approximately every two years. Thus, the size of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) has to be scaled down as an increase in packing density. In current technology, the size of a transistor has shrunk below 45nm, and it has already reached its physical limit. Any attempt to shri...

When several treatments are available for evaluation in a clinical trial, different design options are available. We compare multi-arm multi-stage with factorial designs, and in particular, we will consider a 2 × 2 factorial design, where groups of patients will either take treatments A, B, both or neither. We investigate the performance and characteristics of both types of designs under differ...

The aim of this study is to prepare fluvastatin nanostructured lipid carriers (FLV-NLCs) in order to find an innovative way to alleviate FLV-associated disadvantages. The limitations include poor solubility and extensive first-pass metabolism, resulting in low (30%) bioavailability and short elimination half-life (1-3 hours). FLV-NLCs were prepared by hot emulsification-ultrasonication method. ...

The main focus of this informative article is to bring attention to experimental research in the field of information systems, especially for novice researchers such as doctoral students. In the past three decades, information systems research has been heavily focused on theoretical model development and testing using survey-based methodology. However, criticism on such an approach has been pre...
