SCIAMACHY limb-scatter measurements allow the continuous mapping of noctilucent clouds (NLCs) as well as the retrieval of NLC particle sizes since 2002. Longterm measurements of NLC particle sizes require high instrument stability or an accurate knowledge of the changing calibration parameters. For the NLC measurements we employ measurements in SCIAMACHY channel 1, whose transmission decreased ...

The present review compiles the applications of lipid nanoparticles mainly solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for the delivery of pharmaceutical actives. The attempts to overcome the low solubility and bioavailability of some drugs by their incorporation into lipid nanocarriers have been summarized. A special focus of this review is on different routes of ad...

Bistatic SAR data processing parameters, unlike monostatic SAR data, are generally azimuth-variant. The Non-Linear Chirp Scaling (NLCS) algorithm introduced in this paper is able to handle the azimuth variance. It focuses a bistatic image by first introducing a bulk linear range cell migration correction followed by a chirp scaling process to equalize the azimuth chirp rates for all targets in ...

Tilmicosin (TLM) is an important antibiotic in veterinary medicine with low bioavailability and safety. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate physicochemical properties, storage stability after lyophilization and antibacterial activity of three TLM-loaded lipid nanoparticles (TLM-LNPs) including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) and lipid-core nanocapsu...

BACKGROUND Vegetarian diets have been associated with lower risk of chronic disease, but little is known about the health effects of low meat diets and the reliability of self-reported vegetarian status. We aimed to establish an analytical cohort over-represented with vegetarians, pescetarians and 1 day/week meat consumers, and to describe their lifestyle and dietary characteristics. In additio...

The present study aimed to develop low-dose liquisolid tablets of two antimalarial drugs artemether-lumefantrine (AL) from a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) of lumefantrine (LUM) and estimate the potential of AL as an oral delivery system in malariogenic Wistar mice. LUM-NLCs were prepared by hot homogenization using Precirol® ATO 5/Transcutol® HP and tallow fat/Transcutol® HP optimized syst...

We discuss cross-link relations between the $\ensuremath{\pi}$ and $\ensuremath{\rho}$-meson channels emerging from two different descriptions of QCD vacuum: instanton physics sum rules with nonlocal condensates (NLCs). derive in both schemes an intriguing linear relation ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{\ensuremath{\parallel}}$-meson distribution amplitudes terms their conformal coefficients work out spe...
