the aim of this study was to prepare liposomes of acyclovir (acy) by thin layer evaporation (tle) and reverse phase evaporation (rev) methods. twenty-seven batches of liposomes from each method were prepared using technique of three variables at three levels (33) factorial design. drug/lipid (molar ratio), hydration volume and hydration time were considered three independent variables in tle me...

effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...

We propose a simple scheme to estimate surface evaporation over large heterogeneous areas using remote sensing observations. Our approach is based on a relationship between easily measured surface parameters (e.g. radiometric surface temperature) and a surrogate for effective surface resistance. Preliminary results, using remotely sensed data sets from AVHRR NOAA-14 over the Southern Great Plai...
