Hydroides elegans is a major fouling organism in tropical waters around the world, including Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. To determine the importance of initial surface characteristics on biofilm community composition and subsequent colonization by larvae of H. elegans, the settlement and recruitment of larvae to biofilmed surfaces with six different initial surface wettabilities were tested in Pearl ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of enrofloxacin (ENR) in situ forming gel in pigs following a single intramuscular administration. Twelve healthy pigs were randomly divided into two groups (6 pigs per group), then administered 20 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) ENR in situ forming gel and 5 mg/kg b.w. ENR conventional injection respectively. Highperforma...

The authors evaluated and compared the efficacies of eye drops and in situ forming gel of pefloxacin mesylate in pseudomonas induced conjunctivitis in 40 rabbits. The in-situ forming gel of pefloxacin mesylate was formulated as a liquid and when administered in the cul-de-sac, it gets converted to gel. The objective of the present research work was to demonstrate the in vivo activity of in situ...

The aim of this study was to prepare nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC)-based topical gel of aceclofenac for the treatment of inflammation and allied conditions. Stearic acid as the solid lipid, oleic acid as the liquid lipid, pluronic F68 as the surfactant, and phospholipon 90G as the co-surfactant were used. NLCs were prepared by melt-emulsification, low-temperature solidification, and high-...

styrene nanocomposites were synthesized by in-situ atom transfer radical polymerization at 110oc. the variations of monomer conversion and the linearity of semilogarithmic kinetic plot, some signs of living polymerizationand constant radical concentration in the reaction medium, were revealed by gas chromatography technique (gc). according to the gel permeation chromatography (gpc) results, the...
