INTRODUCTION Absorption of drugs through the gastrointestinal tract poses a variety of limitations, making the in vivo performance of drug delivery systems uncertain. Following on from recent advances, in a time of increased consideration of floating drug delivery systems, it is as important as ever to continue the progress by studying different aspects of these systems. Moreover, it seems impe...

Free-floating plants, like most groups of aquatic primary producers, can become nuisance vegetation under certain conditions. On the other hand, there is substantial optimism for the applied uses of free-floating plants, such as wastewater treatment, biofuel production, and aquaculture. Therefore, understanding the species-specific responses of floating plants to abiotic conditions will inform ...

According to the structure characteristics of railway viaduct with light floating slabs, a frequency domain dynamic model of the vehicle-light floating slab track-viaduct bridge vertical coupling system is established. The Green functions are used to quickly calculate the receptance response of the system, and then the pseudo excitation method is used to further analyze the parameter influences...

Sophisticated computation methods were developed 4000 years ago in Mesopotamia in the context of scribal schools. The basics of the computation can be detected in clay tablets written by young students educated in these scribal schools. At first glance, the mathematical exercises contained in school tablets seem to be very simple and quite familiar, and therefore, they have little attracted the...

This paper introduces a technique to style and develop a completely pipelined and optimized design for Floating Point embedded processor in FPGA exploitation IEEE 754 format. The Floating purpose embedded processor performs many operations such as FP-Arithmetic, FP-Logical, FP-Trigonometric, FP-Vector, FP-Complex, FP-Signed, FP-Unsigned. In an exceedingly existing system, a fixed point illustra...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of corporate governance mechanisms in preventing the bankruptcy of companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. For this purpose, corporate governance mechanisms, including institutional ownership, non-executive members of the board, CEO dual responsibility and free float stock are determined as independent variables and Bankruptcy based on the ...

Objective To give a comprehensive and basic understanding of diabetes and its risk factors in floating people in China. Method We use "(diabetes or type 2 diabetes or chronic disease) and (floating population or employed floating population)" as the key words to search in the China academic literature database (CNKI), Wan Fang database, PubMed and Web of Science for relevant literature and ex...

Floating-point computations are quickly finding their way in the design of safetyand mission-critical systems, despite the fact that designing floating-point algorithms is significantly more difficult than designing integer algorithms. For this reason, verification and validation of floating-point computations is a hot research topic. An important verification technique, especially in some indu...

The surgical rehabilitation of mixed hearing losses can be performed by coupling the floating mass transducer of the Vibrant Soundbridge to the round window. The quality of coupling the floating mass transducer to the round window is crucial for the audiological outcome. It was the aim of this study to further observe the different patterns of floating mass transducer position at the round wind...

BMDs, HDDs, and K*BMDs provide compact representations for functions which map Boolean vectors into integer values, but not floating point values. In this paper, we propose a new data structure, called Multiplicative Power Binary Hybrid Diagrams (*PBHDs), to provide a compact representation for functions that map Boolean vectors into integer or floating point values. The size of the graph to re...
