Weight-on-Wheels (WoW) systems are aimed at indicating if the aircraft weight is loading onto landing gear and its wheels, even partially. These an integral part of actuation system for safety-critical applications shall provide reliable information on actual operational status LG. That reveals vehicle in flight or ground. In this way, several kinds accidents may be prevented, relating instance...

a sustained-release tablet formulation should ideally have a proper release profile insensitive to moderate changes in tablet hardness that is usually encountered in manufacturing. in this study, matrix aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets with ethylcellulose (ec), eudragit rs100 (rs), and eudragit s100 (s) were prepared by direct compression. the release behaviors were then studied in two co...

in the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, to reduce frequency of administration and to improve patient compliance by developing a sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate. sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate were developed by using different drug: polymer ratios, such in f1 (1:0.75), f2 (1:1), f3 (1:1.5),...

hard gelatin capsule filled with acetaminophen, osmotic agent (sorbitol), a release promoter (sodium dodecyl sulfate), coated with a semipermeable cellulose acetate membrane containing a hydrophobic plasticizer (castor oil) and sealed with white bees wax plug was designed. when placed in the sink water penetrates the membrane, dissolves the osmotic agent and increases the osmotic pressure insid...

Monitoring and detecting individual cows' liveweight (LW) change (LWC) are important for estimation of nutritional requirements health management, could be useful to measure short-term feed intake, water consumption, defecation, urination. Walk-over weighing (WOW) systems can facilitate measurements LW these purposes, providing automated recorded at different times the day. We conducted a field...

Being involved in the development of a high standing Web site without having the necessary amount of money, we came to the idea of creating a set of basic features that Web sites should inevitably have in order to meet customers quality basic expectations. The paper reports on the development of the methodology created to face the research question. The result is an innovative methodology calle...

This paper introduces the Icehotel, the world’s first and largest hotel to be constructed entirely of ice and snow, as a unique and generative organizational trope. As a trope, it both supplements and complements Morgan’s seminal book “The Images of Organization” and generates unique insights with regard to surprise, unifinality, purity, eco-coreness, and rebirth. The Icehotel also serves as a ...

Temporal simulations are increasingly performed in wind effects analysis of flexible structures. By comparison with classical techniques such as spectral methods, temporal simulations provide the advantage of easily combining different kinds of loads, can take nonlinearities into account and also provide the onlyway to reproduce transient behaviors. In that context this study deals with the tra...
