PURPOSE Local therapy is a valuable and strategic approach in the treatment of lung associated diseases and dry powder inhalation (DPI) formulations play the key role in this plan. Transfersome has been introduced as a novel biocompatible vesicular system with potential for administration in pulmonary drug delivery. The present study was designed to prepare Itraconazole-loaded nanotrantransfers...

Steep slopes consisting of disturbed soil are very often found in construction, landfill, and surface mining situations. Although legislation and economics dictate that vegetative cover be established on these slopes as rapidly as possible, the occurrence of large rainfall events during critical periods of vegetation establishment can frequently cause extensive soil loss. Sediment generated fro...

Field experiments were conducted over 4 years to evaluate the effects of antitranspirant (Folicote,Aquatrollnc., Paulsboro, N.J.) and polyacrylamide gel (SuperSorb, Aquatrollnc., Paulsboro, N.J.) on early growth oftransplanted muskmelon grown either protected by tree windbreaks or exposed to seasonal winds. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement was used with wind...

To further clarify the specific photochemical mechanisms of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated adaptation to salt stress, this experiment was conducted to examine the effect of SA (100 and 500 μM) on photosynthesis, antioxidative capacity and phenolic metabolism in strawberry plants under salt stress (50 mM). The results showe...

In an attempt to produce a dry functional ingredient from marine origin, salt-soluble fish muscle protein (MP), κ-carrageenan (C) and hydrolysate (H) were used as wall material for oil (FO) microencapsulation, which was performed comparing two drying methods (spray-drying heat-drying). Dry powders initially obtained MP C separately the mixture of both (CMP), without with addition (MP-H, C–H, CM...
