There is a need for quantitative data on patterns and rates of movement of organisms to understand their movement behavior and predict their rates of spread. Opportunities for studying movement of biological control agents are presented during release programs. However, despite these opportunities, patterns and range of dispersal are often not considered. For example, information about effects ...

This paper reviews the use of texture analysis in studying the performance of hydrophilic matrices of highly soluble drugs and different types of excipients (i.e. water-soluble, water-insoluble and swellable, and water insoluble and non-swellable). Tablets were prepared by direct compression, and their swelling and erosion in presence of these different excipients were assessed with the help of...

The release of Java 1.1 brings many new features to the Java language. Java in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition, a worthy successor to the authors bestselling first edition of the book, offers an excellent way to keep up with most of them. Youll find that the second edition carries over many strong points from the original, including a quick-start introduction to Java for C or C++ programmers and the ha...

In order to develop a kind of APAP double-release pellet capsules, which was prepared with the manual filling method, immediate and sustained release pellets certain proportion were by fluidized bed coating extrusion spheroidization process, respectively. It founded that both immediate-release sustained-release had smooth round surfaces. The particle size distribution ranged evenly from 16 35 m...

Polymers are tools used in novel drug delivery system to modify the drug release of pharmaceutical dosage form. Polyox is hydrophilic polymer made of non-ionic homopolymer of ethylene oxide. Polyox is popular for its film forming, binding, lubricating, mucoadhesive, viscosity imparting property in pharmaceuticals. Polyox are available in various grades based on its molecular weight. Lower molec...

Shallow water has low depth, and hydrodynamic conditions may change with the effect of wind waves, resulting in sediment suspension pollutant release. To investigate influence incipient motion on ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) release shallow lakes under disturbance, we monitored concentration overlying sediments Chaohu Lake static, weak, strong disturbance analyzed rate based these concentrations. I...

An in vitro preparation of the fifth thoracic ganglion of the crayfish was used to study in detail the negative feedback loop involved in the control of passive movements of the leg. Release-sensitive primary afferents of from the coxo-basipodite chordotonal organ (CBCO), a proprioceptor whose strand is released by upward movement of the leg, monosynaptically connect to depressor motor neurons ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the condition of the tendons and neurovascular bundles after percutaneous release for trigger finger of the middle, ring, and little fingers. METHODS 30 women and 13 men aged 20 to 55 (mean, 40) years underwent percutaneous release of the A1 pulley using a 18-gauge needle for 43 trigger fingers of the middle, ring, or little finger unresponsive to conservative treatment. 1...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the effect of two bleaching agents on the fluoride release of three types of glass ionomer materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 90 specimens of the tested materials (Ketac Fil, Photac Fil and F2000) were prepared by a split Teflon ring with an internal diameter of 5 mm and thickness of 2 mm. The tested materials were applied and bleached ac...
