Decomposition tool targeting FPGA architectures

The growing interest in the field of logic synthesis targeting Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and the active research carried out by a number of research groups in the area of functional decomposition is the prime motivation for this thesis. Logic synthesis has been an area of interest in many universities all over the world. The work involves the study and implementation of techniques and methods in logic synthesis. In this work, a logic synthesis tool has been developed implementing the aspects of general and complete Decomposition method based on functional decomposition techniques [4]. The tool is aimed at producing outputs faster and more efficient than the available software. C++ Standard template library is used to develop this tool. The output of this tool is designed to be compatible with the available vendor software. The tool has been tested on MCNC benchmarks and those created keeping in mind the industry requirements

Evaluation of polymerized rosin for the formulation and development of transdermal drug delivery system: A technical note

Results from the present study conclude that PR in combination with PVP and with incorporation of dibutyl phthalate (30% wt/wt) produces smooth flexible films with improved tensile strength and percentage elongation. The release rate of drug from films and permeation across skin increases with increase in drug and PVP loading but is independent of film thickness. Patches containing PR:PVP (7:3) show promise for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic performance evaluation in a suitable animal model. In view of the overall results reported in the present study, it may be proposed that PR can be used in the design of a matrix type transdermal drug delivery system to prolong the drug release
