In the present study, we formulated long circulating liposomes for amphotericin B and characterized them. The formulation was optimized using 2(3) factorial designs. Pegylated liposomal formulation showed favorable results with reference to particle size (247.33±9.60 nm), percent entrapment efficiency (94.55±3.34%). TEM studies revealed that the liposomes were essentially spherical, hollow, and...

Carica papaya L. is frequently found in northern and northeastern Brazil, the Caribbean Central America. The seed oil was extracted using Soxhlet extraction. Its has low acidity, iodine index, saponification peroxide values adequate comparable to other commercially available vegetable oils. lipid profile of this also obtained by gas chromatography; thermal characterization performed thermogravi...

Five malonanilide derivatives (M1-M5) were prepared by the reaction of ethyl malonate with aniline derivatives. These compounds were investigated as new stabilizers for double-base propellants (DBPs). The evaluation process has been performed through thermal stability tests, thermal analyses measurements (TGA and DSC) and kinetic parameters calculations (E(a)). The results of the new stabilizer...

The curing kinetics and viscosity of an epoxy resin system, SI-ZG-5A, have been characterized for application in the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. Impregnation of a typical carbon fiber perform provided the test bed for the characterization. Process simulations were carried out using the process model, COMPRO [8], to examine heat transfer and curing kinetics for a full...

in this work, the potential of auto-ignition of heavy oil during in-situ combustion (isc) process was studied. kinetic studies were carried out using thermo gravimetric analyzer (tga), differential scanning calorimetry (dsc) and accelerating rate calorimetric (arc) techniques. effects of oxygen partial pressure, reservoir pressure and clay on auto ignition condition were investigated on a numbe...

Among thermosetting polymers, epoxy resins are major components of adhesives, sealants, paints and composites. Polymerization is often achieved by reaction monomers like DGEBA with amine hardeners such as DETA. Previous works showed that polyamines interact metal (hydr/oxide) substrates leading to the formation an interphase involving chelation surface ions. In this work, we further explored in...

The current study aimed to investigate whole-brain three-dimensional arterial spin labeling imaging (3D ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion-weighted imaging (DSC-PWI), in regards to their diagnostic value of preoperative glioma grade. The parameter values obtained after correction will be correlated with the diagnostic value of 3D ASL and DSC-PWI perfusion. In the current study, ...
