The Nano Spray Dryer B-90 offers a new, simple, and alternative approach for the production of drug nanocrystals. In this study, the preparation of steroid nanocrystals using the Nano Spray Dryer B-90 was demonstrated. The particle size was controlled by selecting the mesh aperture size. Submicrometer steroid particles in powder form were successfully obtained. These nanoparticles were confirme...

One key message from our report, and from the Institute's sister report on Government Transitions, is that preparation and planning by all these groups is key. We offer this brief guide to what the implications of a hung parliament would be. Where relevant, references are made to the draft Chapter 6 of the new Cabinet Manual that is being published by the Cabinet Office. This was also the subje...

A study was conducted to find out the optimum tray load and drier type for the drying of osmosed mango, guava slices and aonla segments. The osmosed slices and segments were dehydrated in a cabinet drier, low temperature drier and vacuum drier with the tray loads of 0.30, 0.35, 0.40 and 0.45 g/cm. On the basis of, correlation and regression analyses performed by using dehydration time (h), drie...

Historical cabinet protocols are a useful resource which enable historians to identify the opinions expressed by politicians on different subjects and at different points of time. While cabinet protocols are often available in digitized form, so far the only method to access their information content is by keyword-based search, which often returns sub-optimal results. We present a method for en...

In this research a fuzzy model is developed for a rotary dryer. It is applied to the pilot plant rotary dryer located in the Control Engineering Laboratory at Oulu University. Firstly, a literature review looking at the current situation of fuzzy modelling and comparison of different methods is done. One modelling method is then applied to the building of the model from data. The rule parameter...

The literature on cabinet duration is split between two apparently irreconcilable positions. The attributes theorists seek to explain cabinet duration as a fixed function of measured explanatory variables, while the events process theorists model cabinet durations as a product of purely stochastic processes. In this paper we build a unified statistical model that combines the insights of these ...
