in order to formulate an efficient and durable mucoadhesive drug delivery system, careful consideration of formulation-related parameters is critical. this study was conducted to investigate the effect of the presence of various types and concentrations of surfactants within or outside carbopol 934 (c934) as well as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (hpmc) solid compacts, on their duration of mucoa...

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of ISO 14001 and other significant factors on solid waste generation rates of organizations. The research is based on a survey conducted on a random sample of industrial companies that operate in United States. The paper reveals that companies’ solid waste generation rates are significantly reduced by certification and identifies several factors ...

Redox reactions of Sb(V) and Sb(III) with mackinawite (FeS) and of aqueous Pu(III) and Pu(V) with various Fe(II)‐bearing minerals and Fe(III)‐oxides have been investigated under anoxic conditions. X‐ ray absorption spectroscopy was used to analyze oxidation state and local coordination environment of Sb and Pu associated with the solid phase. After reaction with mackinawite, chukanovite and...

The specific objective of this paper is to develop a fully implicit compositional simulator for modeling asphaltene deposition during natural depletion. In this study, a mathematical model for asphaltene deposition modeling is presented followed by the solution approach using the fully implicit scheme. A thermodynamic model for asphaltene precipitation and the numerical methods for performing f...

Aim: To enhance the aqueous solubility of olanzapine by using the Solid dispersion technique. Solid dispersions of Olanzapine were prepared by the dispersion method using using PGS and SSG as carriers. Drug:carrier ratios such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10 were tried for optimization. Characterization was done by phase solubility, in vitro release, saturation solubility, permeation, wetta...

One generic technique for model idealisation is dimensional reduction. In dimensional reduction, the finite element model makes use of elements of reduced dimension, such as beams, plates and shells. This project describes some operations that have been defined and implemented which allow the user to reduce the dimensionality of geometric models automatically using a novel decomposition and red...
