a pressurized fluid extraction (pfe) method for the extraction of pistachio oil was developed using a modified supercritical fluid extractor. the supercritical fluid extraction apparatus was modified to be able to pump liquid solvent and co2 into the extraction vessel alternatively. the experimental results showed that the extraction yield was independent of the extraction pressure. it was also...

The objective of this work was to develop bioadhesive topical gel of Aceclofenac with the help of response-surface approach. Experiments were performed according to a 3-level factorial design to evaluate the effects of two independent variables [amount of Poloxamer 407 (PL-407 = X1) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose K100 M (HPMC = X2)] on the bioadhesive character of gel, rheological property o...

Geiger-mode single-photon LiDAR is an important tool for long-distance three-dimensional remote sensing. A planar-array-based photon counting that uses 32-by-32 fiber arrays coupled to optical lens as a transceiver unit was developed. Using transmitters and receivers with the same design, proposed device easily achieves high-precision alignment of 1024 pixels flexible detection field-of-view de...

optimizing the herbicide dose by the addition of adjuvants is an acceptable way to increase performance and to reduce the risk of side effects from herbicides. therefore, to detect a suitable adjuvant for clodinafop-propargyl against little seed canary grass (phalaris minor retz.). greenhouse experiment were conducted as factorial in completely randomized design with four replications for compa...

The work investigates the development and optimization of ionotropically-gelled mucoadhesive beads composed of tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP)-alginate polymer-blend for oral delivery of metformin HCl using 32 factorial design. The optimized mucoadhesive beads exhibited 94.86 ± 3.92 % drug encapsulation efficiency and good mucoadhesivity with the biological membrane in wash-off test, and sus...
