Abstract This paper expounds the method of determining civil aircraft brake energy scenario. Brake is an extremely important requirement for carbon disc and fusible plug design system. In order to determine kinetic capacity, following conditions should be considered: designed landing-stop condition, normal landing stop reject takeoff condition most severe condition. As related operational envir...

the objective of this investigation was the development of chitosan/xanthan polyelectrolyte complex based mucoadhesive nasal insert of promethazine hydrochloride a drug used in the treatment of motion sickness. a 32 factorial design was applied for preparing chitosan/xanthan polyelectrolyte complex and to study the effect of independent variables i.e. concentration of xanthan [x1] and concentra...

Intranasal route, ensuring suitable bioavailability of medicines under circumvention of the gastrointestinal degradation and hepatic first-pass elimination, has been a popular choice for drug delivery. Among nasal dosage forms, mucoadhesive solid inserts have been shown to resist mucociliary clearance and provide a prolonged nasal residence time. Hence, the purpose of this study was the prepara...

We show that a potential-based algorithm for the fractional k-server problem on hierarchically separated trees (HSTs) with competitive ratio f (k) can be used to obtain a randomized algorithm for anymetric spacewith competitive ratio f (k)2O((log k)2). Employing theO((log k)2)competitive algorithm for HSTs from our joint work with Bubeck, Cohen, Lee, and Mądry (2017), this yields an O((log k)6)...

INTRODUCTION Tobacco companies have a long tradition of including promotional material within cigarette packs, such as cigarette cards and coupons. Only in Canada are they required, by the government, to include educational material within cigarette packs, in the form of inserts highlighting the benefits of quitting or providing tips on how to do so. METHODS Twenty focus groups were conducted...
