This paper analyzes the data integrity of one of the most widely used lossless data compression techniques, Lempel-Ziv (LZ) compression. In this algorithm, because the data reconstruction from compressed codewords relies on previously decoded results, a transient error during compression may propagate to the decoder and cause a significant corruption in the reconstructed data. To recover the sy...

Purpose: Alpha-cellulose obtained as pulp from fibrous plant materials has found use in the pharmaceutical industry as a disintegrant and direct compression diluent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of α-cellulose obtained from waste paper as a direct compression excipient. Method: The flow and compaction characteristics of α-cellulose (ACP) obtained from waste paper, in co...

The investigation is to study the effect of polymers on compressibility and release of Metoprolol Tartarate from tablet through direct compression. Tablets were prepared by direct compression by mixing with commonly used polymers, Eudragit RL-100, Chitosan, Ethyl cellulose, Hydroxyethyl cellulose and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose K-100 in 1:1 ratio. The compressibility parameters were estimated...

Recorded color images differ from direct human viewing by the lack of dynamic range compression and color constancy. Research is summarized which develops the center/surround retinex concept originated by Edwin Land through a singlescale design to a multi-scale design with color restoration (MSRCR). The MSRCR synthesizes dynamic range compression, color constancy, and color rendition and, there...

extended release formulation of alfuzosin, an a-antagonist used for prostatic hypertrophy, is available in market. it is convenient for older patients to take only one tablet a day. marketed alfuzosin formulation is three layered geomatrix tablet that requires special facilities, high cost, more time and complex operation than normal direct compression formulation. therefore, a less complicated...

The influence of binder type and process parameters on the compression properties and microbial survival in diclofenac tablet formulations were studied using a novel gum from Albizia zygia. Tablets were produced from diclofenac formulations containing corn starch, lactose and dicalcium phosphate. Formulations were analyzed using the Heckel and Kawakita plots. Determination of microbial viabilit...

For wireless sensor networks with a large number of energy constrained sensors, it is very important to find a method to organize sensors in clusters to minimize the energy used to communicate information from all nodes to the processing center. In this paper, we look at data compression method which can have significant impact on the overall energy dissipation of these networks. Based on our f...
