چکیده

Pickering emulsions differ from classical emulsions, because the first are stabilized by solid particles instead of surfactants. This type of emulsions has been widely investigated in pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields since they present less adverse effects than the classical emulsions that are stabilized by surfactants. The present study was conducted in order to characterize physically and chemically a preservative-free and surfactant-free w/o emulsion for topical application and to evaluate its safety profile. Oscillatory and steady state shear measurements were performed for angular frequencies (ω) between 1 and 100 rad s-1 and shear rates ( ) between 1 and 1000 s-1 at 25 oC, and the emulsions were examined by brightfield light microscopy. The antimicrobial activity was performed according to a modification of membrane filtration method described in the Ph.Eur.. In order to predict the cutaneous irritation to the emulsion the cell viability was evaluated using Df and HaCaT cell lines in a MTT assay. A HRIPT was used to study the irritancy and sensitizing potential of emulsion in 53 volunteers. Rheological measurements indicated that the system is well structured. The microstructure is related to the rheological behaviour in relation to particle size, shape and distribution. The antimicrobial study demonstrates that this particular w/o emulsions present self-preservation properties. Cytotoxicity results showed that the emulsion can be considered non-irritant. And in vivo studies confirmed that both emulsions did not induce any irritative or allergic reactions, showing that this product show very good skin compatibility. This study confirms that starch Pickering emulsions present a well structure system with a safe profile and the use of appropriate excipients allows preparing w/o emulsions with the obvious benefits of avoiding the drawbacks often associated with antimicrobial preservatives and surfactants agents.

There is concern that roadside advertising presents a significant risk to driving safety, with conservative estimates putting external distractions responsible for up to 10% of all traffic incidents (Young and Mahfoud, 2007). Studies indicate that any interference that distracts the driver from looking forward from the roadway for more than two seconds significantly increases the chances of cra...

Vehicle Manufacturer Recognition (VMR) has recently become a key feature to be used when license plate numbers cannot be detected or fake plate numbers are used in traffic control and management applications. One of the clearest indicators of a vehicle manufacturer is its vehicle logo. In this way, most of the vision-based VMR approaches are based on vehicle logo classification. In this work, w...

Polarization constant $mathcal{K}(n,X)=1$ for entire functions of exponential type

In this paper we will prove that if $L$ is a continuous symmetric n-linear form on a Hilbert space and $widehat{L}$ is the associated continuous n-homogeneous polynomial, then $||L||=||widehat{L}||$. For the proof we are using a classical generalized  inequality due to S. Bernstein for entire functions of exponential type. Furthermore we study the case that if X is a Banach space then we have t...
