Development of microspheres is a promising technology for controlled release and drug targeting. Various types such as bio-adhesive, magnetic, floating, radioactive polymeric are developed various purposes. Microspheres occupied central place in novel delivery. There departments medicine like cancer, pulmonary, cardiology, radiology, gynecology, oncology etc., where numerous drugs used delivere...

an oral sustained-release floating tablet formulation of metformin hcl was designed and developed. effervescence and swelling properties were attributed on the developed tablets by sodium bicarbonate and hpmc-peo polymer combination, respectively. tablet composition was optimized by response surface methodology (rsm). seventeen (17) trial formulations were analyzed according to box-behnken desi...

Traffic state estimation from the floating car system is a challenging problem. The low penetration rate and random distribution make available floating car samples usually cover part space and time points of the road networks. To obtain a wide range of traffic state from the floating car system, many methods have been proposed to estimate the traffic state for the uncovered links. However, the...

Floating multi-layer coated tablets were designed based on gas formation. The system consists of a drug-containing core tablet coated with a protective layer (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a gas forming layer (sodium bicarbonate) and a gas-entrapped membrane, respectively. The mechanical properties of acrylic polymers (Eudragit RL 30D, RS 30D, NE 30D) and ethylcellulose were characterized by ...

Recently, the mining industry has introduced renewable energy technologies to resolve power supply problems at mines operating in polar regions or other remote areas, and to foster substitute industries, able to benefit from abandoned sites of exhausted mines. However, little attention has been paid to the potential placement of floating photovoltaic (PV) systems operated on mine pit lakes beca...
