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...

Today many argue that there appears to be an epidemic case of “fear of floating”. Some have further claimed that credible inflation targeting – a popular regime choice today – and fear of floating are identical regimes. This paper takes a different view. We modify Calvo and Reinhart’s (2002) approach to analyze the behavior of exchange rates, reserves, interest rates and inflation across 88 exc...

This paper investigates the use of floating gate MOS devices for analog trimming. A floating gate MOSFET structure, in which tunneling occurs at the corners of a polysilicon slab, has been fabricated using a standard 1.2p.m n-well CMOS process. The analog storage performance of the floating gate is evaluated. A threedimensional device simulator, DAVINCI, is used to characterize the field enhanc...

nowadays, the application of floating breakwaters in small or recreational harbors has found more popularity. these types of breakwaters are more flexible in terms of design, configuration and especially installation compared with fixed breakwaters. in the current study, the performance of floating breakwater (fbs) under regular waves was studied using the physical modeling method. for the mode...

In development of floating photovoltaic generation system, finding a suitable place of installation is as important as development of economically feasible and stable structure. Especially since floating photovoltaic system has its facility floating on water surface, it is extremely important to review the effects of weather conditions such as wind, water flow and floating matters, various fact...

Floating point units form an important component of many reconfigurable computing applications. The creation of floating point units under a collection of area, latency, and throughput constraints is an important consideration for system designers. Given the range of possible tradeoffs, most commercial or academic floating point libraries for FPGAs provide a small fraction of possible floating ...

A system for the rapid prototyping of floating point hardware designs is presented. This system, called Float, consists of a floating point class for the simulation of quantization effects associated with low precision floating point operators; an optimizer which can automatically determine the minimal number of exponent and fraction bits required for a specified degree of accuracy; and a param...

New wave public health places an emphasis on exhorting individuals to engage in healthy behaviour with good health being a signifier of virtuous moral standing, whereas poor health is often associated with personal moral failings. In effect, the medical is increasingly being collapsed into the moral. This approach is consistent with other aspects of contemporary neolibe...

Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of increased circuit complexity and often degraded maximum clock performance. Certain applications demand the dynamic range offered by floating-point hardware but require speeds and circuit sizes usua...
