2 The work investigates the formulation development, evaluation and optimization of ibuprofen effervescent tablet using 3 factorial designs. The effect of variables viz. xanthan gum and sodium bicarbonate on drug release and hardness of ibuprofen effervescent tablets were analyzed and optimized. The optimized formulation showed the ibuprofen release in sustained manner over a period of 6h. The ...

We report growth and characterization of heavily boron-doped 3C-SiC and 6H-SiC and Al-doped 3C-SiC. Both 3C-SiC:B and 6H-SiC:B reveal type-I superconductivity with a critical temperature Tc=1.5 K. On the other hand, Al-doped 3C-SiC (3C-SiC:Al) shows type-II superconductivity with Tc=1.4 K. Both SiC:Al and SiC:B exhibit zero resistivity and diamagnetic susceptibility below Tc with effective hole...

We measure the adsorption height of hydrogen-intercalated quasifreestanding monolayer graphene on the (0001) face of 6H silicon carbide by the normal incidence x-ray standing wave technique. A density functional calculation for the full (6√3×6√3)-R30° unit cell, based on a van der Waals corrected exchange correlation functional, finds a purely physisorptive adsorption height in excellent agreem...

OBJECTIVE Identify risk factors that determine pneumonia development in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery. METHODS Prospective study of a single cohort in a postoperative intensive care unit at a tertiary care center, encompassing all patients undergoing cardiac surgery from January to July 2014. RESULTS 31 postoperative pneumonia cases were enrolled out of 211 patients (14.6%). T...

Photoluminescence study of undoped, doped GaN grown on (00.1), (11.0), (01.2)Αl 2 O 3 (100), (111)Si, and (00.1)6H—SiC substrates have been conducted. Strong bandedge emissions from all undoped samples and dopant-related emissions from doped samples were observed. Deep-level yellow emissioii centered around 2.2 eV was not observed from undoped GaN grown on 6H-SiC substrate, undoped GaN with opt...

Several new and know 6-(4-substituted phenyl)-4-(4-substituted phenyl)-2-phenyl-6H-1,3-thiazine (or selenazine) (Z4B7, Z4D5, Z4B7' Z4D5') were prepared by the 1,4-Michael addition reaction of chalcone derivatives with thiobenzamide or phenylselenocarboxamide in basic medium (where chalcones was formed Claisen-Schimidt condensation aromatic aldehydes 4-substituted acetophenone presence sodium hy...

Oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines can be considered as 9-oxa-purine analogs of naturally occurring nucleic acid bases. Interest in this ring system has increased due to recent reports of biologically active derivatives. In particular, 5-aminooxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-7(6H)-ones (9-oxa-guanines) have been shown to inhibit ricin. The preparation of a series of 2-substituted 5-aminooxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-...

Reaction of H(2)salen (H(2)L) with Tb(OAc)(3).4H(2)O (3 : 2) in MeOH-MeCN under reflux gave homoleptic Tb(4)L(6) (1) in 40% yield; in contrast, similar reactions of Tb(NO(3))(3).6H(2)O and LnCl(3).6H(2)O (Ln = Tb, Nd and Yb) gave [TbL(NO(3))(MeOH)](2)(micro-H(2)L) (2) and [LnL(Cl)(MeOH)](2)(micro-H(2)L) (Ln = Tb (3), Nd (4) and Yb (5); H(2)L = N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneimine)).

The title compound, 2C(4)H(12)N(2) (2+)·C(10)H(2)O(8) (4-)·6H(2)O or (pipzH(2))(2)(btc)·6H(2)O, was formed from the reaction between benzene-1,2,4,5-tetra-carboxylic acid (btcH(4)) as a proton donor and piperazine (pipz) as a proton acceptor. A variety of O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, as well as C-H⋯π inter-actions, are present in the crystal structure. Two water O atoms are each disor...
