One of the major steps toward the industrialization of the microbial product(s) is to optimize the cultivation conditions at the large-scale bioreactor and successfully control the microbial behavior within a large scale production environment. Statistical Design of Experiment was proven to optimize a vast number of microbial processes to achieve robustness and explore possible interactions...

Background: L-menthol [(1R,3R,4S)-(-)-menthol] is a flavoring that is the main component of mint herb essential oils, especially of the Mentha piperita and Mentha arvensis species. Its low solubility in aqueous systems makes precise formulation necessary in the final products. Of the methods available for fabrication of nanoparticles for use in pharmaceuticals, electrospraying is easy and requi...

A new hybrid algorithm of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA) is presented to get the optimum design of truss structures with discrete design variables. The objective function chosen in this paper is the total weight of the truss structure, which depends on upper and lower bounds in the form of stress and displacement limits. The Particle Swarm Optimization basically model...

asymmetrically mixed matrix matrimid-mil-53 membranes with silicone cover layer were fabricated. for better understanding of membrane fabrication process, three main parameters of fabrication, matrimid concentration, silicone concentration and weight percentage of metal organic framework (mil-53) particles, were optimized by an experimental design method. cross-section sem images were used to s...

The higher incidences of side effects of existing drugs have shifted researchers and clinicians to explore the dietary phytoconstituents for its therapeutic potentials. The present study is based on compression coated curcumin tablet for the colon. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin presents a bioavailability problem due to poor solubility. An inclusion complex ...

background: there are some reports in the literature showing that hypothalamus synthesizes and secretes amino acid neurotransmitters. according to several studies, elevated serum levels of gamma-amino butyric acid (gaba), a potent inhibitory neurotransmitter, have recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of neural diseases. the purpose of this research was to estimate the effects of curcumi...
