Coated hard capsules are becoming increasingly important for a number of reasons such as administration of new active ingredients, oral vaccination, colon drug delivery or their use in preclinical and clinical trials. The independency of coating composition on capsules filling is the major advantage of this dosage form. In our study, two types of hard capsules (gelatin and hypromellose) were co...

Habitat selection is a complex process, which involves behavioural decisions guided by the multiple needs and constraints faced by individuals. Climate-induced changes in environmental conditions may alter those trade-offs and resulting habitat use patterns. In this study, we investigated the effect of sea temperature on habitat selection and habitat use of acoustically tagged Atlantic cod (Gad...

Fish skin gelatin is an important functional product in the food, cosmetics, and biomedicine industries, establishing a green effective fish extraction method way to obtain high-quality improve its production efficiency. In this study, trypsin was used extract of sea perch, tilapia, grass carp, microstructures these three species were analyzed, with such characteristics as thermal stability, ge...

The oral route is most popular route for the administration of therapeutic agents because of the low cost of therapy and ease of administration lead to high levels of patient compliance. The most popular oral solid dosage forms are tablets and capsules. Many patients find it difficult to swallow tablets and hard gelatin capsules particularly pediatric and geriatric patients and do not take thei...

Objective: We prospectively evaluated the association between intakes of 1) Alpha-linolenic (ALA; 18:3n-3) [plant, like flax seed, omega-3] 2) Eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5n-3) [fish omega-3] 3) Docosahexaenoic (DHA; 22:6n-3) [fish and cold water algae omega-3] 4) Linoleic (LA; 18:2n-6) [plant omega-6, like corn, sunflower, safflower, peanut, soy oils] 5) Arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6) [animal om...

—Dams provide many benefits to society, yet they have profound impacts on aquatic ecosystems. In addition to blocking fish migration, small surface-release dams on coldwater streams generally increase water temperature below the dam. The goal of this study was to evaluate how small, surface-release dams affect fish communities, separating the total effect into components related to fragmentatio...

Lakes, rivers and estuaries that experience frequent and/or prolonged blooms of cyanobacteria display an array of ecosystem properties that may have impacts on water quality, biological communities and ecosystem services. Some impacts of blooms may be direct, including possible effects of toxins on fish, invertebrates, and other aquatic fauna, or indirect, including: a reduction of submerged pl...

Water vapor diffusion coefficient (WVDC) and thermal diffusivity (alpha) were determined in gelatin-starch films through photothermal techniques. The effect of different variables in the elaboration of these films, such as starch and glycerol concentrations and pH, were evaluated through the response surface methodology. The results indicated that an increase in the glycerol concentration and p...

Investigations of photochemical reactions in higher plants and other biological systems frequently require the irradiation of large areas with welldefined regions in the visible and near-visible spectrum. Large glass filters or dyed gelatin filters of the Wratten type are costly. Inexpensive tlheatrical gelatin filters, dyed cellophane, or other dyed plastics are available, but these are limite...

The optical rotation phenomena exhibited by a citrate-extracted fraction of ichthyocol (from carp swim bladder), as well as by the parent gelatin derived therefrom, have been studied. Dispersion data for all cases follow a single-term Drude equation, but the variations with state are adequately expressed by simple reference to changes in [alpha](D) as follows:- 1. The native collagen fraction, ...
