Using the model for the processive movement of a dimeric kinesin we proposed before, we study the dynamics of a number of mutant homodimeric and heterodimeric kinesins that were constructed by Kaseda et al. (Kaseda, K., Higuchi, H. & Hirose, K. (2002) PNAS 99, 16058–16063). The theoretical results of ATPase rate per head, moving velocity, and stall force of the motors show good agreement with t...

Emotion recognition from EEG could be used in many applications as it allows us to know the “inner” emotion regardless of the human facial expression, behaviour, or verbal communication. In this paper, we proposed and described a novel fractal dimension (FD) based emotion recognition algorithm using an Arousal-Valence emotion model. FD values calculated from the EEG signal recorded from the cor...

The study was aimed at developing extended release matrix tablets of poorly water-soluble diclofenac sodium and highly water-soluble metformin hydrochloride by direct compression using cashew gum, xanthan gum and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as release retardants. The suitability of light grade cashew gum as a direct compression excipient was studied using the SeDeM Diagram Expert System...

A multiparticulate system was developed using the coating pan method with nonpareil seed as the core material for the Theophylline. The drug loaded pellets were prepared by powder layering technique, sprinkling the drug on the nonpareil seeds using PVP K-30 in IPA as binder. The drug loaded pellets were coated by using polymers ethyl cellulose, EUDRAGITRS:RL (2:1) and EUDRAGIT® RS:RL (3:1). The...

Several musical genres have been demonstrated to encourage changes in cardiac autonomic modulation. So, we aimed to investigate the acute effects of auditory stimulation with heavy metal music by applying the Higuchi fractal dimension algorithm. The study was performed in 19 healthy women aged between 18 and 30 years old. HRV was analysed during two time phases: the 20-minute period without exp...

The aim of the current study was to formulate Fexofenadine hydrochloride loaded sustained release microspheres using HPMC K100 M CR, a release retardant hydrophilic polymer by solvent evaporation method. The effect of different drug loading on drug content, drug encapsulation efficiency and release of drug was monitored. The studies on in vitro release mechanism were performed using USP paddle ...
