The solubilities of ibuprofen and diazepam in water/ethanol binary solutions were predicted using COSMO-RS and UNIFAC. In case of the ibuprofen system, RMSE was 0.183, and COSMO-RS reproduced the experimental values well. The RMSE of UNIFAC was 0.628, and the solubilities predicted by UNIFAC were smaller than experimental values. Polarizabilities of several drugs in vacuum, water, and ethanol w...

We examine stylochronometry, the question of measuring change in linguistic style over time within an authorial canon and in relation to change in language in general use over a contemporaneous period. We take the works of two prolific authors from the 19th/20th century, Henry James and Mark Twain, and identify variables that change for them over time. We present a method of analysis applying r...

[0,1]d f(x)dx. Monte Carlo (MC) sampling typically attains a root mean squared error (RMSE) of O(n) from n independent random function evaluations. By contrast, quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) sampling using carefully equispaced evaluation points can attain the rate O(n) for any ε > 0 and randomized QMC (RQMC) can attain the RMSE O(n), both under mild conditions on f . Classical variance reduction meth...

In other words, find the probability density functions f(·) and g(·) in (2) corresponding to the model (1). (b) Simulate the model (1) to produce T = 100 measurements y1:T . Based on these measurements compute the optimal (in the sense that it minimizes the mean square error) estimate of xt | y1:t for t = 1, . . . , T . Implement a bootstrap particle filter and compare to the optimal estimates....

We have calculated the excess free energy of mixing of 1053 binary mixtures with the OPLS-AA force field using two different methods: thermodynamic integration (TI) of molecular dynamics simulations and the Pair Configuration to Molecular Activity Coefficient (PAC-MAC) method. PAC-MAC is a force field based quasi-chemical method for predicting miscibility properties of various binary mixtures. ...

This study was conducted to develop equations to predict carcass and body fat compositions using biometric measures (BM) and body postmortem measurements and to determine the relationships between BM and carcass fat and empty body fat compositions of 44 crossbred bulls under tropical grazing conditions. The bulls were serially slaughtered in 4 groups at approximately 0 d (n = 4), 84 d (n = 4), ...

In order to improve the accuracy of grain production forecasting, this study proposed a new combination forecasting model, the model combined stepwise regression method with RBF neural network by assigning proper weights using inverse variance method. By comparing different criteria, the result indicates that the combination forecasting model is superior to other models. The performance of the ...

We present results for the 2m spectroscopic part of the Multi-Site Spectroscopic Telescope campaign, which took place in May/June 2002. In order to perform an asteroseismological analysis on the multiperiodic pulsating subdwarf B star PG 1605+072 we used over 150 hours of time resolved spec-troscopy in order to search for and analyse line profile variations by using phase binning. We succeeded ...

This paper introduces a constant-time implementation for a quasi-cyclic moderate-density-parity-check (QC-MDPC) code based encryption scheme. At a 2 security level, the software takes 14 679 937 Cortex-M4 and 1 560 072 Haswell cycles to decrypt a short message, while the previous records were 18 416 012 and 3 104 624 (non-constant-time) cycles. Such speed is achieved by combining two techniques...
