Background and objectives: Argyreia pilosa (Convolvulaceae) has been utilized for many aliments in the conventional system ethnomedicinally; most significantly against sexually transmitted diseases, skin troubles, diabetes, rheumatism, cough, and quinsy. The key challenge experienced in the standardization of herbal drugs is the correct identification of the plant sour...

background and objectives: currently nearly 70% of the area under cultivation of a milliard hectares of the world, devoted to cereals as well as about half of the total dietary needs of people, especially in asia directly from cereals sources. factors affecting wheat quality includes the chemical, physical, qualitative and farming. since each grain products requires the use of flour with specia...

hydrogels are introduced to modem medicine as novel materials suitable for a variety ofbiomedical applications. studying hydrogels as novel biomaterials has become a fast-developingand exciting research field during the last two decades. these interesting biomaterials have found awide range of application including contact lenses, vehicles for drug delivery and scaffold in tissueengineering and...

Background and Objectives: This study is the first research on the physiochemical characteristics, microbial population and microstructure of Poosti cheese over 90-days of ripening. The main difference between Poosti cheese and other types of traditional cheese is the skin, which is used for its storage. Materials and Methods: Physicochemical characteristics including moisture, salt, pH, acidi...

The aims of this study were to characterize different BS/PLGA composites for their physicochemical and morphological characteristics and evaluate the in vitro and in vivo biological performance. The physicochemical and morphological modifications were analyzed by pH, mass loss, XRD, setting time, and SEM. For in vitro analysis, the osteoblast and fibroblast viability was evaluated. For in vivo ...

We investigated the effect of pretreatment on the physicochemical characteristics-crystallinity, bed porosity, and volumetric specific surface of soybean hulls and production of cellulolytic enzymes in solid-state fermentation of Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus oryzae cultures. Mild acid and alkali and steam pretreatments significantly increased crystallinity and bed porosity without signifi...

Terconazole (Tr) is the first marketed, most active triazole for vaginal candidiasis. Owing to poor skin permeation and challenging physicochemical properties, Tr was not employed for the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis. This is the first study to investigate the relevance of novel lecithin-integrated liquid crystalline nano-organogels (LCGs) to improve physicochemical characteristics of Tr ...

Nanotechnology is a straightforward strategy for the development of drug delivery systems. Poly(caprolactone) (PCL) has been used as a hydrophobic biodegradable polymeric core of nanoparticles for encapsulation of various kinds of self-problematic drugs. In this study, PCL was fabricated by ring opening polymerization and the nanoparticles were then obtained by solvent diffusion and evaporation...

To elucidate the relationship between physicochemical properties, spray characteristics, and combustion performance, a series of experiments have been conducted in a constant volume vessel with injection of hydrous ethanol diesel emulsion and regular diesel. HE30 (emulsion with 30% volume fraction of 20% water-containing ethanol and 70% volume fraction of 0# diesel) is developed using Shah’s te...

Four natural clays were modified with mixed polyoxocations of Al/Fe for evaluating the effect of the physicochemical properties of the starting materials (chemical composition, abundance of expandable clay phases, cationic exchange capacity and textural properties) on final physicochemical and catalytic properties of Al/Fe-PILCs. The aluminosilicate denoted C2 exhibited the highest potential as...
