R-matrix for a geodesic flow associated with a new integrable peakon equation
We use the r-matrix formulation to show the integrability of geodesic flow on
an -dimensional space with coordinates , with , equipped
with the co-metric . This flow
is generated by a symmetry of the integrable partial differential equation
(pde) (\al is a constant). This
equation -- called the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation -- was recently proven
to be completely integrable and possess peakon solutions by Degasperis, Holm
and Hone (DHH[2002]). The isospectral eigenvalue problem associated with the
integrable DP equation is used to find a new -matrix, called the Lax matrix,
for the geodesic dynamical flow. By employing this Lax matrix we obtain the
-matrix for the integrable geodesic flow.Comment: This paper has some crucial technical errors in -matrix formula

Iontophoretic drug delivery models
Iontophoresis relies on active transportation of the charged medication agent within an electric field and delivers medication transdermally. It uses electric current to ionize drug molecules and propel them through the skin. It is a kind of transdermal drug delivery method, and hence the method has to handle the variability in skin characteristics of a patient. In this paper, a preliminary study based on the different models of the skin impedance is carried out. The purpose is to examine several skin models for iontophoretic drug delivery. This paper carries out a simulation study based on three different skin impedance models.
