A pellet enhanced performance (PEP) mode, showing significantly reduced core transport, is regularly obtained after the injection of deeply penetrating lithium pellets into Alcator C-Mod discharges. These transient modes, which typically persist about two energy confinement times, are characterized by a steep pressure gradient (4, <a/5) in the inner third of the plasma, indicating the presence ...

For exothermic fluid-phase reactions, a reactor which is cooled at the wall can exhibit multiplicity or parametric sensitivity_ Moreover, for heterogeneously catalyaed exothermic fluid-phase reactions, each of the catalytically active pellets in the reactor can exhibit multiplicity. Both forms of multiplicity can lead to thermal instability and as such have to he taken into account in reactor d...

Chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the form of pellet culture and encapsulation in alginate beads has been widely used as conventional model for in vitro chondrogenesis. However, comparative characterization between differentiation, hypertrophic markers, cell adhesion molecule and ultrastructural changes during alginate and pellet culture has not been described....

The aim of this study was to develop a pH responsive enteric coated extended release multiparticulate dosage form containing a model drug ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for rheumatoid arthritis. The drug loaded pellets in matrix form were prepared by using extrusion/spheronization method. The optimized pelletization method revealed that extrusion using 1 mm sieve plate a...

the present study was designed to assess the cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of methanol extract of woodfordia fruticosa flowers. cytotoxic activity of methanol extract of woodfordia fruticosa flowers was tested using artemia salina (brine shrimp) bioassay. two doses (400 and 600 mg/kg) were evaluated for the anti-inflammatory activity against the carrageenan, histamine...

a field study was conducted at abourehan research farm of tehranuniversityin 2009 to find out the effects of slow releasing nitrogen from pellet fertilizer of nitrogen and manure on grain yield and some physiological characteristics of corn (single cross 704). the factorial design of the study comprised of randomized complete block with three replications. factors this experiment involved: firs...
