The effects of magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and talc as lubricants on some powder and tablet properties of silicified microcrystalline cellulose (SMCC) were studied. Single and binary blends of talc, magnesium stearate and SLS at 1% concentration were evaluated as flow modulators on SMCC. Influence of the lubricants on the powder and tablet properties of metronidazole was al...

This paper presents a user-friendly rapid prediction tool of damage to struck and striking vessels in a ship collision event. To do this, the so-called upper bound theorem is applied to calculate internal forces and energies of any substructure involved in the ships crushing process. At each increment of indentation, the total crushing force is transmitted to the external dynamics MCOL program,...

The purpose of this study is to describe the personal exposure to respirable dust and quartz and in stone crushing units located at west of Iran. A size of 40 personal samples and 40 stationary samples were obtained and analysis was done by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results of personal sampling were shown the concentrations of respirable dust exposure level in workers of process, hopper and ...

The aim of this study was to design and optimize a new tablet formulation for treatment of copper deficiency in human organism by using an experimental design. The new no-veneered tablets, prepared by a wet granulation technique, are containg active substance, a copper(II) complex with polysaccharide pullulan. The binder concentration, the disintegrant concentration and the resistance to crushi...
