Mucoadhesive gels were prepared for the treatment of oral sub mucous fibrosis, which provide effect for extended periods of time. Stress was given for improvised local action of the drug with the addition of mucoadhesive polymer in the formulation. Curcumin was taken as a model drug as it exhibits profound antitumeric & antimutogenic activity. The semisolid preparations comprised of stabilizer ...

The present study is an attempt to assess the impacts of climate change on water resources of the river basins of India which have immense importance in domestic, industrial agricultural and hydropower scenario. A distributed hydrological model developed from HEC-HMS was used on the Indian river basins using the projected daily precipitation and temperature data for the continuous daily range f...

Estimation of parameters of a hydrologic model is undertaken using a procedure called “calibration” in order to obtain predictions as close as possible to observed values. This study aimed to use the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for automatic calibration of the HEC-HMS hydrologic model, which includes a library of different event-based models for simulating the rainfall-runoff pr...

Population growth and land use modification in urban areas require the of accurate tools for rainfall-runoff modeling, especially where topography is complex. The recent improvement quality resolution remotely sensed precipitation satisfies a major need such tools. A physically-based, fully distributed hydrologic model conceptual semi-distributed model, forced by satellite rainfall estimates, w...

Traffic accidents sometimes lead to the spread of hazardous compounds to the environment. Accidental spills of hazardous compounds on roads in the vicinity of vulnerable objects such as water supplies pose a serious threat to water quality and have to be assessed. This study compared three different assessment methods, electrical resistivity measurements, analytical flow calculations, and 1D an...
