This research explored the types of word formation processes in descriptions cosmetic products. descriptive qualitative study employed classification proposed by Yule’s (2010)—derivation, compounding, conversion, borrowing, blending, acronym, backformation, coinage, clipping, and multiple to analyze data. The data were taken from products beauty brands U.S celebrities—Fenty Beauty, Rare Kylie C...

Gossiping refers to the following task: In a group of individuals connected by a communication network, every node has a piece of information and needs to transmit it to all the nodes in the network. The networks are modeled by graphs, where the vertices represent the nodes, and the edges, the communication links. In this paper, we concentrate on minimum gossip graphs of even order, that is, gr...

PREFACE Iontophoresis is a process which involves increased transport of solute molecules into a tissue using an electric current. This technique has been employed for the delivery of ionic drugs for local and systemic therapeutic effects in clinical settings. Iontophoresis is becoming more widespread today with many pharmacists compounding solutions for this mode of administration. Iontophores...

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of May 11, 2013, 55 deaths and a total case count...

Effects of spatial compounding on image resolution and speckle noise are studied. Using computer simulation, it is shown that spatial compounding using averaged reconstruction can significantly improve lateral resolution while slightly deteriorate axial resolution. The amount of net resolution improvement depends mainly on the compound angle, but is insensitive to the number of component images...
