Modern systems frequently consist of a complex mixture of hardware and software. Model-based diagnosis typically assumes that the effects of the software can be summarised by the commands sent to the hardware and thus the software can be left out of the model. In our effort to build a diagnosis system for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) we have an example where this is not the case—comma...

OBJECTIVE This study was planned to evaluate the effect of short term intravenous ascorbic acid on reducing ferritin and erythropoietin resistance in patients of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on maintenance haemodialysis (MHD). METHODS Forty adult patients [20 patients in group A with increased serum ferritin level (>500 ng/ml), transferrin saturation (TSAT) ≤20% and 20 patients in group B wit...

in order to enhance in vitro dissolution and content uniformity of poorly soluble drug glimepiride by preparing solid dispersions using modified solvent fusion method, solid dispersions of drug were prepared by modified fusion solvent method using peg 6000 and pvp k25 (as carrier). eight batches (f1-f8) were prepared by factorial design (23) by taking three factors i.e. the concentration of: dr...
