Background: Geotechnical engineers working on the ground face a common obstacle of unsuitable soil. Expansive soil is one soils vulnerable to high loads and unstable. Properties such as permeability, low bearing capacity, compression, swelling shrinkage behavior, strength stiffness are all characteristics an expanding weaker than other types due these characteristics. Objective: T...

The study deals with the combination of biopolymers to develop hydrogels intended for agriculture application. aim is propose a renewable and eco-compatible solution enhance agrochemicals water efficiency contribute maintaining soil fertility. We developed set based on casein chitosan retention release agrochemicals, in particular nitrogen fertilizer urea. weight ratio biopolymers, from 0.5 2, ...

Fire-retarding properties of wollastonite nanofibers in poplar wood (Populus nigra) were studied here. Some physical properties such as water absorption, volumetric swelling and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) were also measured. Specimens were prepared according to the ISO 11925 specifications for the fire-retarding properties and according to the ASTM D4446 -2002 specifications for th...

Purposes: Propranolol HCl is a beta blocker commonly used worldwide; however, it shows a low bioavailability due to its extensive first-pass metabolism. To solve this problem, a novel drug delivery system such as buccoadhesive system might be helpful. The aim of the present investigation is to prepare the buccoadhesive tablet of propranolol HCl using different mucoadhesive polymers. Method: Buc...

Chitosan with excellent biodegradable and biocompatible characteristics has received attention as an oral drug delivery vehicle for controlled-release formulations. In this study an enteric-coated capsule containing theophylline-chitosan beads based on 23 factorial designs was prepared as a colon drug delivery system. The theophylline-chitosan gel beads were formulated by adding the drug-contai...

Introduction: Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) arising in extra-oral region in head and neck are rare, and when swellings arise from other sites such as infraorbital region, cheek, etc, tuberculosis is not usually considered for the differential diagnosis (DD) and often the diagnosis is missed and appropriate treatment is delayed. Case Report: We report a rare entity of pri...

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is the third commonest cause of cancer death in UK. It commonly metastasises to the liver but rarely to small bones. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of a patient with adenocarcinoma of the descending colon who presented preoperatively with a right supraclavicular swelling. Subsequent imaging and cytology of the lesion revealed this to be a metastasis to the r...
