Buoyancy artefacts (BAs) are used for the experimental determination of air density. The artefacts used for this comparison were manufactured at the PTB and the KRISS respectively and consist of one hollow cylinder and one bobbin. Mass differences of the PTB and the KRISS BAs in vacuum and in air are measured simultaneously by using the PTB prototype mass comparator. Results of the bilateral co...

the main objective of the present study was to formulate gastroretentive effervescent sustained release drug delivery systems of risperidone floating tablets with the help of methocel® k15, ethocel® standard 7fp premium, eudragit ® rs100 sustained release polymers to improve its safety profile, bioavailability and patient compliance. risperidone floating tablets were formulated by wet granulati...

Lattice reduction is fundamental in computational number theory and in computer science, especially in cryptography. The celebrated Lenstra–Lenstra–Lovász reduction algorithm (called LLL or L) has been improved in many ways through the past decades and remains one of the central tool for reducing lattice basis. In particular, its floating-point variants — where the long-integer arithmetic requi...

In the domain of mine-warfare, the detection of targets floating on the surface has remained difficult to automate. Nevertheless, experience in the Persian Gulf has proved that unmoored floating mines are a realistic threat to shipping traffic. An automated system capable of detecting these and other free-floating small objects, using readily available sensors, would prove to be a valuable mine...

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...

As scientific computation continues to scale, it is crucial to use floating-point arithmetic processors as efficiently as possible. Lower precision allows streaming architectures to perform more operations per second and can reduce memory bandwidth pressure on all architectures. However, using a precision that is too low for a given algorithm and data set will result in inaccurate results. Thus...

The Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász lattice basis reduction algorithm (LLL or L) is a very popular tool in public-key cryptanalysis and in many other fields. Given an integer d-dimensional lattice basis with vectors of norm less than B in an n-dimensional space, L outputs a socalled L-reduced basis in polynomial time O(dn log B), using arithmetic operations on integers of bit-length O(d log B). This wor...

Floating-point computation is ubiquitous in high-performance scientific computing, but rounding error can compromise the results of extended calculations, especially at large scales. In this paper, we present new techniques that use binary instrumentation and modification to do fine-grained floating-point precision analysis, simulating any level of precision less than or equal to the precision ...

Using pre-defined models to extract spatial information of the building, called model-based building extraction, has been considered as a convincible approach to improve the existing photogrammetric techniques. However, there is still a bottleneck on the practical efficiency and accuracy. This paper proposed a semi-automated approach to extracting buildings from multiple aerial images as well a...
