hot-melt extrusion is one of the most widely applied processing technologies in the plastic, rubber and food industry. today this technology has found its place in the array of pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. melt extrusion process are currently applied in the pharmaceutical field for the manufacture of a variety of dosage forms and formulations such as granules, pellets, tablets, supp...

Hydrostatic extrusion is a technique which allows to produce rods with ultra ne grains and unexpectedly enhanced mechanical properties caused by grain re nement. However, the mechanism of such a re nement is not fully understood at this stage. 6xxx aluminium alloys series are usually processed by extrusion. In this study, commercial 6082 aluminium alloy was extruded at ambient temperature in a ...

Walleye (Sander vitreus) provide important recreational and commercial fisheries throughout the United States and Canada. In Colorado, more walleye are stocked every year than any other species of fish. Use of sterile triploid fish in Colorado is an important management strategy for protecting native endangered fish species from naturally reproducing populations of introduced predators like wal...
