the use of proteins and peptides as human therapeutics has been increased in recent years. lipase is a relatively homogeneous proteinaceous enzyme indicated in maldigestion. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of humidity along with compactional pressure on the enzymatic activity of wheat germ lipase. samples of lipase powder were kept at different relative humidity (rh)...

A novel liquisolid compact technique was used for soulbility enahncement of poorly water soluble drug carvedilol (CAR). CAR was dissolved in water miscible non volatile solvent and then adsorbed on a solid carrier which was later compacted with other excipient into a tablet. The tablets were characterized with respect to hardness, friability, disintegration and in-vitro dissolution profile. Eff...

We consider in this article a Bernstein property of probability measures on groups introduced by Neuenschwander. We discuss this property for discrete groups, compact groups, nilpotent groups and some solvable groups. In all these cases we show that a measure having the Bernstein-Neuenschwander property must be concentrated on an Abelian subgroup. We conclude with an application of this result ...

In this work infiltration behavior of mechanical alloyed 75 wt% Cu – 25 wt% WC powders into porous WC compacts were studied. Owing to their ductile nature, initial Cu powders were directly added to mechanical alloying batch. On the other hand initial WC powders were high energy milled prior to mechanical alloying. Contact infiltration method was selected for densification and compacts prepared ...

We compare two institutions head on, a family compact – a parent makes a transfer to her parent in anticipation of a possible future gift from her children – with a pay-as-you-go, social security system in a lifecycle model with endogenous fertility wherein children are valued both as consumption and investment goods. Our focus is strictly on the pension dimension of these competing institution...

In locally compact spaces, (Borel-)measurable sets can be approximated by compact sets. Ulam extended this result to complete separable metric spaces. We give a constructive proof of Ulam’s theorem. It is first proved intuitionistically and then, using a logical ‘trick’ due to Ishihara, a proof acceptable in Bishop-style mathematics is obtained. We feel this proof provides some insight into Ish...

Cold-pressed powders of the half-metallic ferromagnet CrO2 are dielectric granular metals. Hysteretic magnetoresistance with maxima at the coercive field arises from interparticle contacts. Dilution with insulating antiferromagnetic Cr2O3 powder reduces the conductivity by 3 orders of magnitude, but enhances the magnetoresistance ratio which reaches 50% at 5K. The negative magnetoresistance is ...

In recent times, the CJEU has started to develop its judicial response “rule of law crisis” in some Member States. On one hand, this new trend emerged also as a reaction national reforms concerning asylum and migration law. other protecting EU founding values deployed “traditional” competences attributed it by Treaties, namely mechanisms preliminary ruling procedure infringement procedure. Agai...
