The thermal stability and kinetics of non-isothermal degradation of polypropene and polypropene composites filled with 20 mass% vigorously grounded and mixed raw rice husks (RRH), black rice husks ash (BRHA), white rice husks ash (WRHA) and Aerosil Degussa (AR) were studied. The calculation procedures of Coats – Redfern, Madhysudanan et al., Tang et al., Wanjun et al. and 27 model kinetic equat...

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is thought to play a key role in stimulating feeding, thus making NPY receptors attractive appetite suppressant drug targets for treating obesity. Because the orexigenic effects of NPY have been ascribed to actions at the NPY Y5 receptor, we have determined the role of this receptor in feeding in rats, using a small molecule antagonist of this receptor. NPY5RA-972 is a sele...

The present research aimed to improve the dissolution rate and bioavailability of curcumin using the potential of liquisolid technology. Twelve drug-loaded liquisolid systems (LS-1 to LS-12) were prepared using different vehicles (PEG 200, PEG 400 and Tween 80) and curcumin concentrations in vehicle (40%, 50%, 60% and 70%, w/w). The carrier [microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) PH102] to coat (Aero...

The adsorption of polymethylmethacrylate polymer of different molecular weight at the aerosil/ethyleneglycolor 1,3 butanediol-dimethacrylate interfaces was determined to provide microstructured networks. Their structural characteristics were determined to be controlled by the amount of polymer initially supplied to the system. The sediment (the settled phase) characteristics, determined as a fu...

Over-segmentation, or super-pixel generation, is a common preliminary stage for many computer vision applications. New acquisition technologies enable the capturing of 3D point clouds that contain color and geometrical information. This 3D information introduces a new conceptual change that can be utilized to improve the results of over-segmentation, which uses mainly color information, and to ...
