The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate microencapsulated controlled release preparations of a highly water/soluble drug, salbutamol sulphate by (water in oil) in oil emulsion technique using ethyl cellulose as the retardant material. Various processing and formulation parameters such as drug/polymer ratio, stirring speed, volume of processing medium were optimized to maximize the e...

Nanocomposites provide new properties and exploit unique synergism between materials. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is an ideal piezoelectric matrix applicable in nanocomposites in a broad range of industries from oil and gas to electronics and automotive. And boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) show high mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. In this paper, the critical torsional load of...

Microspheres containing indinavir sulfate were prepared by the emulsion solvent evaporation technique using surfactant sorbitan monooleate 80. The evaluation reports for Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction taken to see whether altered physicochemical features of produced microspheres. Scanning electron microscopy was used observe surface topography When 80 employed at ...

In this investigation, the structure of one-dimensional flame propagation in uniform cloud of volatile organic particles has been analyzed in which the structure of flame is divided into three zones. The first zone is preheat zone which is divided into three subzones itself. In first subzone (heating), particle cloud heated until the moisty particles reach to vapor vaporization temperature. In ...

We first establish a quantum microscopic scattering matrix model in multidimensional wave-vector space, which relates the phase space density of each superlattice cell with that of the neighbouring cells. Then, in the limit of a large number of cells, a SHE (Spherical Harmonics Expansion)-type model of diffusion equations for the particle number density in the position-energy space is obtained....

This paper presents a high order local discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method for solving time dependent Schrödinger equations. After rewriting the Schrödinger equation in terms of a first order system of equations, a numerical flux is constructed to preserve the conservative property for the density of the particle described. Numerical results for a model square potential scattering problem...

A numerical method is presented for computing the time varying stresses in reciprocating compressor discharge tubes during starting. The tube is described using shell elements, and mounting springs are described using beam elements. Mass and stiffness matrices are assembled into a second order system of equations that is then solved in a time step fashion along with mechanism and induction moto...

Thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. To increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose (EC) were used as the matrix polymer here. Mixtures of thymol with eight ...
