With the advent and wide spread use of computers a number of algorithms have been developed to determine the optimum ultimate pit limits in open pit mining. The main objective of these algorithms is to find groups of blocks that should be removed to yield the maximum overall mining profit under specified economic conditions and technological constraints. The most common methods are: Lerchs and ...

Three-dimensional block models are the most frequently used tool for estimating mineral resources and reserves within a deposit. In open pit mining, basis of mine design long term mining schedule is calculation ultimate limit. The limit with highest profit value. Over years, different algorithms have been developed that enable us to calculate final pit: floating or mobile cone, cone II its corr...

This paper presents a high speed binary floating point multiplier based on Hybrid Method. To improve speed multiplication of mantissa is done using Hybrid method replacing existing multipliers like Carry Save Multiplier, Dadda Multiplier and Modified Booth Multiplier. Hybrid method is a combination of Dadda Multiplier and Modified Radix-8 Booth Multiplier. The design achieves high speed with ma...

Mosquito (Aedes togoi) larva has to float its siphon on the water surface to breathe air. To elucidate the floating mechanism of the siphon, morphological structures, especially the flap-like lobes and spiracle of the siphon, were observed. Wettability and dynamic behavior of the lobes on the water surface were also experimentally examined. The lobes formed a hollow cone shape under water and e...

The novel method is to optimize coarse-grained floating point units (FPUs) in a hybrid FPGA by employing common sub graph extraction to determine the number of floating point adders / subtracters (FAs), multipliers (FMs) and word blocks (WBs) in the FPUs. Single precision FP adders / subtracters (FAs) and FP multipliers (FMs), with normalization are generated using standard cell library design ...

an oral sustained-release floating tablet formulation of metformin hcl was designed and developed. effervescence and swelling properties were attributed on the developed tablets by sodium bicarbonate and hpmc-peo polymer combination, respectively. tablet composition was optimized by response surface methodology (rsm). seventeen (17) trial formulations were analyzed according to box-behnken desi...

In a previous paper (physics/0203061) ”Floating bodies of equilibrium” we have shown that there exist two-dimensional non-circular crosssections of bodies of homogeous density ρ 6= 1/2 which can float in any orientation in water, which have a p-fold rotation axis. For given p they exist for p− 2 different densities. However, this was found only in a Taylor-expansion in a parameter which describ...
