Mobility as a Service (MaaS) applies the everything-asa-service paradigm of Cloud Computing to transportation: a MaaS provider offers to its users the dynamic composition of solutions of different travel agencies into a single, consistent interface. Traditionally, transits and data on mobility belong to a scattered plethora of operators. Thus, we argue that the economic model of MaaS is that of...

The objective of the study is to evaluate Olibanum resin, a natural resin polymer as matrix polymer for controlled release tablets and to design matrix tablets of diclofenac for controlled release. Matrix tablets of diclofenac were formulated employing Olibanum resin in different proportions of drug and polymer and the tablets were evaluated for drug release kinetics and mechanism. Two diluents...

In the following article the indications for the use of steroids in asthma are considered. The risks attendant upon such treatment are discussed. A comparison is made between the effects of the naturally occurring preparations and some of the modern synthetic analogues. The following table shows roughly equivalent doses of the various oral steroid preparations, so that comparable doses can read...
