The objective of the present work is extraction of pectin from waste of orange fruit peel and further characterization for useful alternative pharmaceutical excipient. The pectin was subjected to phytochemical and physicochemical characterization of its safety and suitability to use as binding and suspending agent. FT-IR spectroscopy, DSC studies were performed for drug, orange peel pectin powd...

Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) is widely prescribed to treat and prevent influenza virus A, influenza virus B, and H1N1 Flu. It is manufactured by Roche in 75-mg capsules. The need for other administration options for patients who cannot take capsules and cannot use suspending agents which contain alcohol, sorbitol, or preservatives has led to the compounding of oseltamivir into three suspending vehicle...

Many-core and heterogeneous architectures now require programmers to compose multiple asynchronous programming model fully exploit hardware capabilities. As a shared-memory parallel model, OpenMP has the responsibility of orchestrating suspension progression operations occurring on compute node, such as MPI communications or CUDA/HIP streams. Yet, specifications only come with task detach(event...

We have designed and implemented autonomous software agents. Autonomous software agents navigate independently through a heterogeneous network. They are capable of sensing the network con guration, monitoring software conditions, and interacting with other agents. Autonomous agents are implemented as transportable programs, e.g., programs that are capable of suspending execution, moving to a di...

An agent from cases of primary atypical pneumonia associated with development of cold agglutinins (Eaton et al., 1944, 1945) has again been found in recent small outbreaks of this disease (Liu et al., 1955). By using the Coons technique with fluorescein labeled antibody, the site of infection was detected in the lungs of chick embryos following passage by the amniotic route. Previous reports ha...

It is well known that most viral agents lose some of their viability-often rapidly-if stored in ordinary diluents such as buffered saline or nutrient broth. It is also known that this loss of viability is usually dependent on the temperature at which the preparation is stored. The effect of temperature on the storage of certain neurotropic viruses was studied by Olitsky et al. (1950) who found ...

Increasingly real-time systems must handle the self-suspension of tasks, i.e. lowerbound wait times between subtasks, in a timely and predictable manner. A fast schedulability test that does not significantly overestimate the temporal resources needed to execute self-suspending task sets would be of benefit to these modern computing systems. In this paper, we present a polynomial-time test that...

The role of hydrophobicity in the attachment of enteropathogens to gastrointestinal mucosa is controversial. In vitro binding of Escherichia coli RDEC-1 to rabbit intestine is dependent on the expression of pili. We examined in vitro adherence of piliated RDEC-1 after altering either the hydrophobicity of the organisms, the hydrophobicity of the substrate for attachment, or the surface tension ...

Screening of different adjuvants, namely, suspending agents, phagostimulants, stickers, antimicrobial agents, and UV screens to develop aqueous biopesticidal suspensions of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) variety kurstaki HD-1 fermented broths, specifically, nonhydrolyzed sludge, hydrolyzed sludge, starch industry wastewater, and soya (commercial medium), were investigated. The selected suspending ...
