Mobility as a Service (MaaS) applies the everything-asa-service paradigm of Cloud Computing to transportation: a MaaS provider offers to its users the dynamic composition of solutions of different travel agencies into a single, consistent interface. Traditionally, transits and data on mobility belong to a scattered plethora of operators. Thus, we argue that the economic model of MaaS is that of...

In the following article the indications for the use of steroids in asthma are considered. The risks attendant upon such treatment are discussed. A comparison is made between the effects of the naturally occurring preparations and some of the modern synthetic analogues. The following table shows roughly equivalent doses of the various oral steroid preparations, so that comparable doses can read...

BACKGROUND Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults [LADA] is a type 1 diabetes that is slowly developing. This means many people are treated as having type 2 diabetes at diagnosis as they are adults who are not immediately insulin dependent. LADA can be distinguished from type 2 diabetes by antibody tests. Patients who are antibody positive have an autoimmune reaction which is similar to that of t...

background:ecstasy, mainly composed of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma), is one of the most popular addictive synthetic drugs. this study was aimed to investigate the amount of mdma in the ecstasy tablets seized in west azerbaijan province, northwest iran and also to assess the relationship between the physicochemical and morphological characteristics of the tablets. methods: mdma conte...

the physicochemical properties of Iranian acetyl salicylic acid(ASA) tablets,including the products of 10 manufacturers with 14 products,from each 3 batches,totally 42 products have been studied.the properties under investigation are hardness,friability percintage,humidity percentage,free salicylic acid,content uniformity,amount of ASA disintegration time,and released percentage.the results ind...

The clinical application of sirolimus (SRL) as an immunosuppressive agent is largely hampered by its narrow therapeutic range. This study focused on developing SRL tablets with a sustained release profile for better safety. SRL was highly water insoluble and its solubility has been efficiently enhanced by preparing self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS). The SRL-SMEDDS was physical...

Aluminum plastic foamed mask package is commonly used for the packaging of tablets in the pharmaceutical companies and defective tablets can be produced during the production of the packaging. This paper studies several key algorithms of defect detection for tablets in aluminum and plastic package and designs the autodetection software which applies an image processing and recognition technolog...

In this study 50 samples of ecstasy tablets seized in Iran during the period of 2007 through 2008 were examined and their physical characteristics (appearance, marking, scored/not scored, color, weight, diameter, thickness) were determined. In order to determine the chemical characteristics of these tablets, color tests (Marquis test, Simon's test, Chen's test and Gallic acid test), Thin Layer ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to formulate stable film-coated montelukast sodium (MS) tablets using Opadry(®) yellow 20A82938 (Montikast(®) tablets) and to evaluate their in vitro and in vivo release profile. METHODS MS core tablets were manufactured using a direct compression method. Opadry yellow 20A82938 aqueous coating dispersion was used as the film-coating material. Dissolution of t...
