Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) producing aflatoxin frequently contaminates crops such as soybeans. The growth of this mold on soybeans and other foodstuffs is affected by temperature and relative humidity (RH). The aim of this study was to measure the growth of A. flavus BIO 2237 and aflatoxin production at different temperatures and RH. Aspergillus flavus BIO 2237 was isolated from Indonesia o...

This paper presents the design, applications, and performance of the miniature fiber optic-based cylinder pressure sensor which has targeted advanced engine controls requiring high accuracy pressure information. Three types of sensor packages are described currently utilized in prototype closed loop control systems for diesel, gasoline, and dual fuel engines: glow plug with the heater-mounted s...

Diclofenac is the most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. However, its oral aqueous formulation is not available in market because of its bitter taste and scratching sensation in throat. This study was conducted to develop a stable suspension formulation of diclofenac. Diclofenac acid suspension was prepared by making some modifications in the previously described method. .For st...

The research was conducted to determine the extent of climate change in Sambalpur district, Odisha from year 1990 2019. studied for rainfall and temperature by running Mann-Kendall test at 5% significance level on time series data each 9 blocks period resultant statistics indicated how strong trend whether it increasing or decreasing. For seasonal six nine showed but only 3 significant trend. S...

We carried out a stability study of omeprazole in accordance with the stability testing of pharmaceuticals guideline approved by the Romanian National Drug Agency [1]. Omeprazole is sensitive to heat, humidity, light, and organic solvents; consequently, accelerated tests for stability evaluation were performed at 40oC±2oC and 75±5% relative humidity (RH), according to the current official guide...

Centella asiatica contains asiaticoside, flavonoid, phytosterol, madecassid acid, madecassoside, Asiatic acid and amino which are potentially stimulating hair growth, while Allium sativum has rich nutrient for growth such as alkaloid sterol/terpenoid. Objective: previous study showed each extract activity to stimulate but there was no yet a combination of these two extracts. The objective this ...

A new simple, fast accurate and reproducible reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of Metformin Hydrochloride and Glimepiride from tablet dosage form. The method was developed using Waters HPLC system on C18 column (Spherisorb ODS 2: 250mm x 4.6 μm) using a mixture of 25mM Phosphoric Acid pH 3.0 (with KOH) and A...

The aim of this study is to develop an advanced air conditioning system. The dehumidification process of this system is separated from the cooling process and combined with an ice storage system. We use Wakkanai siliceous shale as a desiccant material. This is a natural mesoporous material produced in the northern area of Hokkaido, Japan. A honeycombed desiccant material made of the shale is ch...
