In this study different sized sustained-release coated pellets (6, 2.5 and 1 mm in diameter) were investigated using terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI). Ten pellets from each batch of metoprolol succinate layered sugar starter cores coated with a 75:25 (w/w) polymer blend of Kollicoat SR and Kollicoat IR (approximate coating thickness of 60 μm, according to the weight gain) were mapped individually...

The success of intensive striped catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) cultivation requires quality feed that contains not only protein according to fish needs but also a complete essential amino acid profile support the growth. One solution overcome this problem is done through addition lysine in commercial. This study aimed examine effect on efficiency utilization, growth and body composition (P....

laser fusion simulations are carried out for dt and d- he pellets by using a hydrodynamic code including heating from all charged reaction products and neutrons. it is shown that the inclusion of the side reactions and heating from all reaction products in the fuel pellets have an appreciable effect on the plasma temperature, the icf drive energy requirement, fusion gain and the ignition condit...

The objectives of this study were: (1) To investigate the effects of conditioning temperature (70, 80, 90°C), time (30, 60 sec), and interaction (temperature × time) during the pelleting process on internal protein molecular structure changes of the co-products; (2) To identify differences in protein molecular structures among pellets that were processed under different conditions, and between ...

In many Norwegian alpine and tundra areas sheep and reindeer graze sympatrically. Areas covered with dung or urine may have consequences for reindeer pasture utilization. Experiments were conducted on 5 stall fed male reindeer calves where animals were individually presenred with two troughs (experimental and control) containing 200 g of concentrate. Fresh and dry sheep and reindeer pellets (50...

Removal of nitrogen and phosphorus is known to be somewhat problematic in vertical subsurface flow (VSSF)constructed wetlands. In this pilot-scale study, two planted (Typha latifolia L. [cattail]) VSSF-constructed wetlands A (with polypropylene pellets) and B (without polypropylene pellets) and one unplanted control C (without polypropylene pellets) were designed to test the contribution of pol...

Snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) pellet surveys are an efficient tool for monitoring population trends, but there is no standard methodology used to conduct surveys. To assist researchers in developing protocols, we evaluated pellet-decay rates and aging in 3 snowshoe hare habitat types in Alaska during the peak and decline of the hare population from 1999–2002. We found significant differences...

objective(s): a box-behnken design was used for evaluation of eudragit coated diclofenac pellets. the purpose of this work was to optimize diclofenac pellets to improve the physicochemical properties using experimental design. materials and methods: diclofenac was loaded onto the non-pareil beads using conventional coating pan. film coating of pellets was done at the same pan. the effect of pla...

The main objective of this study was to prepare colon-specific pellets of budesonide, using pectin as film coating. Pellet cores of budesonide were prepared by extrusion / spheronization technique. Pectin, in different ratios was combined with Eudragit RS30D, Eudragit NE30D or Surelease to produce film coating. The dissolution profiles of pectin coated pellets were investigated in pH of 1.2 (2 ...
