The tablets manufactured by direct compression method using co-processed excipient showed relatively better disintegration time and in vitro drug release, with omission of number of laborious steps as compared to tablets manufactured by conventional wet granulation method. Melt granulation technique is a potential alternative for the development of directly compressible adjuvants. Lactose and m...

tenderness is the single most important factor influencing consumer acceptance of meat. the calpain proteolytic system is known to be responsible for the post-mortem tenderization of meat. the purpose of this study was to determine and compare the tensile strength and total calpain activities in different muscles of camel, cattle, sheep and goat. in camels, the effect of age and sex of animal w...

Tensile strength is an important parameter in many engineering applications. In loess slopes, for instance, it governs the development and propagation of tension cracks that usually ultimately lead to crack–sliding toppling failures, which are among most common modes slope failure Loess Plateau China. Reliable measurement tensile geomaterial therefore a necessity. Commonly used methods have lim...

Correlations of scattering coefficient with sheet tensile strength and with sheet density were examined to see if they could be used to determine the scattering coefficient of an unbonded sheet, from which the relative bonded area (RBA) could then be calculated. The data showed that neither correlation was useful because the fiber cross-sectional shape in the sheet changes with the extent of we...

background quince seed mucilage biopolymer (qsmb), famous for ameliorating coughs and controlling asthma symptoms, has not been processed by scientific methods and rules into a local oral tablet. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the mechanical properties of qsmb with different size fractions of the mucilage powder, dried by oven or by freeze drying, to achieve...

polyurethane/zeolite 13x nanocomposite films were fabricated using solution casting method. the synthesized nanocomposite films were structurally characterized using sem, tga and tensile analysis. sem images showed appropriate distribution of nanocrystalline zeolite particles within polyurethane matrix. better thermal stability of nanocomposite films in comparison to neat polyurethane was shown...

A recent development in the field of tissue engineering is the rise of all-biologic, scaffold-free engineered tissues. Since these biomaterials rely primarily upon cells, investigation of initial seeding densities constitutes a particularly relevant aim for tissue engineers. In this study, a scaffold-free method was used to create fibrocartilage in the shape of the rabbit knee meniscus. The obj...

A review chapter 1 summarized the techniques and procedures for measuring the mechanical properties of freestanding films as of the end of 2000. Test methods can be characterized as direct or indirect. In the former, the property of interest is measured independently, e.g. Young’s modulus from separate measurements of force, area, and strain on a tensile specimen. In the latter, a model of the ...

Polymer-based nanocomposites due to their advantages such as corrosion resistance,adequate mechanical properties and low cost are widely used in modern technologies. The increasing application of these nanocomposites, and hence their welding seems unavoidable. In this paper, a novel hottool in friction stir welding process is used for butt welding nanocomposite plates of 5 mm thick containing p...
