Till recently, brand management was perceived as a function exclusive to commercial organizations. However, the experiences of several nations have shown that branding can be an effective tool for managing government services also. This paper discusses benefits current practices in governance. A coherent strategy assists departments formulation and delivery by having clarity purpose consistency...

a gradient reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) method was developed for the assay of cetrorelix acetate, a synthetic decapeptide with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh) antagonistic activity used in infertility treatment. the hplc method, which is used to determine cetrorelix in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms, was validated per ich guidelines. the chromatograph...

abstract the objective of present study was to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters of dibudipine phytosolve after oral administration in rats. the solubility test was carried out to select suitable oily solvent for dibudipine. phytosolve formulation was prepared with a medium chain triglyceride (mct) oil (20%), soybean phospholipids (5%) and a 70% fructose solution (75%). the effect of polyol c...

The task of generating informative explanations in industrial training involves automated formulation of system models with respect to the varying levels of the trainees' knowledge . Compositional 'Modeling provides a useful basis upon which to structure a suite of models that may reflect different complexities of the system being modelled . However, additional inferences are required in order ...

A new BRDF model is presented which can be viewed as an kind of intermediary model between empirism and theory. Main results of physics are observed (energy conservation, reciprocity rule, microfacet theory) and numerous phenomena involved in light reeection are accounted for, in a physically plausible way (incoherent and coherent reeection, spectrum modiications, anisotropy, self-shadowing, mu...

Bricks-and-mortar companies wishing to create value-added Internet services do so in a business environment that is characterized by great uncertainty and, hence, formulating a coherent business strategy is exceedingly challenging. This paper presents a case study based analysis of the evolving eBusiness strategy of a bricks-andmortar grocer contrasted with the strategies of other competitors. ...

An effective spin concept is introduced to examine the mathematical and physical analogy between phase coherent charge transport in mesoscopic systems and quantum operations on spin based qubits. When coupled with the Bloch sphere concept, this isomorphism allows formulation of transport problems in a language more familiar to researchers in the field of spintronics and quantum computing. We ex...

We present results from simulations of vibrational energy and phase relaxation and electronic curve crossing using a multilevel formulation of Redfield theory, which demonstrate the shortcomings of the optical Bloch approximation and the importance of coherence transfer processes in the relaxation dynamics of multilevel systems. Specifically, we show that for a harmonic well, energy relaxation ...

omega-3 fatty acids (fas) have been shown to prevent cardiovascular disease. the most commonly used omega-3 fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha) are highly vulnerable to oxidation and therefore, have short shelf life. recent advances in nanoliposomes provided a biocompatible system for stabilizing omega-3 fas. several methods could be implemented to prepar...

Numerical simulations of isotropic, homogeneous, forced and dissipative two-dimensional ~2D! turbulence in the energy transfer subrange are complicated by the inverse cascade that continuously propagates energy to the large scale modes. To avoid energy condensation in the lowest modes, an energy sink, or a large scale drag is usually introduced. With a few exceptions, simulations with different...
