The aim of this investigation was to prepare, characterize and optimize the aceclofenac proniosomes using central composite design and carry out stability studies. Three independent variables selected were molar ratio of drug to lipid (X1), surfactant loading (X2) and volume of hydration (X3). Based on central composite design, 16 batches of proniosomes were prepared by slurry method and evalua...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Magnetization transfer imaging provides information about the structural integrity of macromolecular substances, such as myelin. Our objective was to use this imaging technique and contour plotting to characterize and to define the extent of white matter lesions in multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury. METHODS Magnetization transfer imaging was performed of 30 ...

We show how to obtain esthetically pleasing contour plots using New S and GCVPACK. With these codes, thin plate splines can easily be used to interpolate “exact” data, and to produce smoothly varying contour plots, with none of the jagged corners that plague many other interpolation methods. It is noted that GCVPACK can also be used to interpolate data on the sphere and in Euclidean three space...

Objective To assess the performance of novel contour enhanced funnel plots and a regression based adjustment method to detect and adjust for publication

We present two enhancements to existing methods for visualizing vital statistics data. Data from the Human Mortality Database were used and vital statistics from England and Wales are used for illustration. The simpler of these methods involves coplotting mean age of death with its variance, and the more complex of these methods is to present data as a contour plot. The coplot method shows the ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the combined influence of 3 independent variables in the preparation of temozolomide bearing Non-PEGylated and PEGylated nanoparticles by emulsification solvent evaporation method. A 3 factor 2 level design was used to derive a polynomial quadratic model and construct contour plots to predict responses. The independent variables selected were concentrati...
