www.pharmaporta l .com ackaging is one of the largest industry sectors in the world, worth $280 billion. Consumer healthcare packaging represents 4% ($11.2 billion) of the packaging industry. As drug manufacturers approach the 21st century, they face a number of challenges that packaging can help them meet. A decade ago packaging often was an afterthought for many pharmaceutical companies, view...

Before an environment can be populated with characters, a set of models must first be acquired and prepared. Sometimes it may be possible for artists to create each virtual character individually for example, if only a small number of individuals are needed, or there are many artists available to create a larger population of characters. However, for most applications that need large and hetero...

Packaging, Marketing, Branding, Color, Psychology of Colors The purpose of this study is to contribute to the existing research in the field of packaging and marketing and shed more light on the psychology of colors and their effect on packaging and marketing. Nowadays, packaging is proved to be one of the significant factors in the success of promoting product sale. However, there is a perceiv...

The design of drugs for treatment of virus infections and the exploitation of viruses as drugs for treatment of diseases could be made more successful by understanding the molecular mechanisms of virus-specific events. The process of assembly, and more specifically packaging of the genome into a capsid, is an obligatory step leading to future infections. To enhance our understanding of the mole...

Recent applications of SPICE–PAC to transistor parameter extraction and hierarchical simulation require rather flexible circuit analyses, performed for irregularly distributed values of independent variables. An implementation of table–driven analyses (DC, AC and time–domain) is described in which tables of arbitrarily distributed independent variables (voltages, frequencies or timepoints) are ...

A modified SPICE is used to accommodate distributed circuits. The distributed circuits are built with microwave analysis software and connected to SPICE by s-parameter files. The modeling process is described and examples of thick and thin film power supply planes are presented with comparison to measured results. The method is used to explore potential design choices for a large MCM with many ...

For SPICE level circuit development, corner models address the designer’s need for fast simulations which can reproduce specific scenarios of interest. To systematically and automatically determine the model parameters for the corners, we present a methodology based on a constrained least squares optimization. We also show how it performs when applied to some of our devices for best and worst c...
