A continuum model has been proposed to fit the data pertaining to the directed networks in free and opensource software. While the degree distributions of links in both the in-directed and out-directed dependency networks follow Zipf’s law for the intermediate nodes, the most richly linked nodes, as well as the most poorly linked nodes, deviate from this trend and exhibit finite-size effects. T...

drug delivery via buccal mucosa by means of buccoadhesive formulations offer distinct advantages over peroral administration. recently, plant gums and exudates have been screened for their use as pharmaceutical adjuvants. the aim of this study is to evaluate matrix tablets containing plantago psyllium seed mucilage in addition to carbopol as a mucoadhesive agent, and propranolol hydrochloride a...

background: progress in the field of biology and biochemistry has led to the discovery of numerous bioactive peptides and proteins in the last few decades. delivery of therapeutic proteins/peptides has received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. methods: in this study, a two-step desolvation method was used to produce biodegradable hydrophilic gelatin nanoparticles (gnp) as a d...
