microencapsulation has become a common technique in the production of controlled release dosage forms. many results have been reported, concerning the use of alginate beads as controlled release drug formulations. alginate has a unique gel-forming property in the presence of multivalent cations, in an aqueous medium. ibuprofen is an excellent analgesic and antipyretic, non-steroidal anti-inflam...

In Cambodia, cassava is mostly grown with little or no fertilizer inputs, but the magnitudes of nutrient balances are not known. This study was conducted to assess nutrient balances for cassava cultivation in Kampong Cham province in Northeast Cambodia. Forty five households in four cassava production zones were interviewed in relation to their cultural practices and crop residue management...

We analyze the on-line dimension of semi-orders as a two-person game between Algorithm and Spoiler, in a customary way. The game is played in rounds. Spoiler presents a collection of intervals representing a semi-order, one interval at a time. Algorithm maintains its realizer, i.e., the set of linear extensions intersecting to the semi-order presented so far. Each time a new interval is present...

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound (dinitrato) (1,4,8,11 -tetra-azaandecane) lead(II) is described. Crystals are monoclinic, P2 /ca= 10.271 (2)?,b= 13.524(4) ?,c= 11.298(6) ?,?=94.68(3),2=4,R,Rw, 0.036 and 0.041, respectively. The lead atom is eight-coordinate [Pb-N, 2.44 (2) - 2.55 (1)], [Pb-0,2.87 (1) - 3.06 (2)].

embryonic stem cells are capable of differentiating to variety of cell tissues including cardiomyocytes. this developmental change is accompanied with a great deal of ion channel expression and functions. mouse stem cell derived cardiomyocytes were prepared and separated to yield isolated single cell suspension for cell current recording. in the present study some properties of the k + -current...

Objective(s): Acute lung injury (ALI) has a high mortality rate and is characterized by damage to pulmonary system giving rise to symptoms such as histological alteration, lung tissue edema and production of proinflammatory cytokine. p-Coumaric acid (p-CA), as a phenolic compound, that is found in many types of fruits and vegetables has been reported to exhibit a thera...

This new method which is worked out in Isfahan University of Technology, makes it possible to analyze the phases quantitatively in minerals and powdered materials by X Ray Diffraction and without any reference material. To identify n unknown phases, n different combinations of phases, from fine and coarse fractions, or etc., must be obtained. Amorphous phases should not exist. Intensity ratios ...
