Pen computing or pen-based technology can be considered one of the most natural and intuitive computer input interface for humans. The combination of digital video and pen-based technology can support a new approach for electronic paper by associating handwritten notes and drawings with video segments. This paper presents a proposal for pen-based video annotations and a prototype for Tablet PCs...

This paper presents two studies investigating the use of novel modalities for bimanual vertical scrolling on tablet devices. Several bimanual interaction techniques are presented, using a combination of physical dial, touch and pressure input, which split the control of scrolling speed and scrolling direction across two hands. The new interaction techniques are compared to equivalent unimanual ...

Learning cardiac auscultation is a fundamental but hard task for a medicine student, involving a combination of gesture mechanics and cardiac sounds interpretation. We aim to create a low cost simulator combining a tablet and an electronic stethoscope, thus defining a new interaction paradigm that allows a student to train auscultation when and where they want. In this paper we evaluate the usa...

The minimal inhibitory concentrations of Rodogyl (composite tablet of metronidazole and spiramycin), metronidazole-spiramycin mixture, spiramycin, metronidazole, and tetracycline were determined for selected putative periodontopathic microorganisms. Rodogyl was active against almost all strains, including Bacteroides species and the anaerobic spirochetes. Synergism of the component drugs in the...

An Inflection Point The tablet PC should provide the inflection point, the technological break that will provide the combination of portability and screen space required for real-life clinical use. Unlike a laptop, it can be held in one’s arm like the metal jacket of a patient chart, with data entered with a penlike device. This completely replicates the mode of data collection physicians have ...

Methods: One hundred patients undergoing second trimester abortion were divided into two groups. Fifty patients received extra-amniotic ethacridine lactate 150 ml through Foley’s catheter (Ethacridine group) and the other 50 patients received 150 ml extra-amniotic ethacridine lactate mixed with a 0.5 mg of a crushed tablet of Dinoprostone through Foley’s catheter (Combination group). Both the g...

The aim of the present research was to develop a bilayer tablet of venlafaxine hydrochloride for bimodal drug release. In the present investigation authors have tried to explore fenugreek mucilage (FNM) for bioadhesive sustained release layer. The attempt has been made to combine FNM with well studied bioadhesive polymers like hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), Carbopol, and Xanthan Gum. T...

The functionality and performance of technology has consistently predicted technology use. However, there are other reasons related to social and psychological forces influencing technology use. This study investigates the social drivers of tablet technology use. In particular, the study focuses on the image associated with tablet technology and the influence of this image on Tablet Use. Using ...

Tablet computers are increasingly used in school classrooms. However, despite the fact that these devices conceived as single-user devices, and most games or apps developed for them designed single-users, pairs groups of students usually use devices. Surprisingly little research has been done to explore ways which support not children's collaboration – instead focused on larger tabletop compute...

Buspirone hydrochloride is supplied as tablets for oral administration containing 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg of buspirone hydrochloride USP. The 5 mg and 10 mg tablets are scored so they can be bisected. Thus, the 5 mg tablet can also provide a 2.5 mg dose, and the 10 mg tablet can provide a 5 mg dose. The 15 mg tablet is scored so it can be either bisected or trisected. Thus, a single tablet...
