Abstract Ketotifen fumarate is a non-bronchodilator anti-asthmatic drug which inhibits the effects of certain endogenous substances known to be inflammatory mediators, and thereby exerts antiallergic activity. The present study describes the formulation of a sustained release nanoparticle (NP) drug delivery system containing ketotifen, using poly (D,L lactide-co-glycolide acid) (PLGA). Biodegra...

Combustion synthesis has been used to produce Fe-(Ti,W)C composites. A simple reactor was designed which made it possible to ignite the samples under controlled atmosphere. Samples with different W/Ti ratio were ingnited under argon atmosphere by an electric arc and a self-propagating reaction was initiated in each sample. Different composites such as WC in Fe-Ti matrix, WC+(Ti,W)C in Fe matrix...

background and objectives: nowadays corn flakes are the most common form of breakfast cereals however, their vitamins are declined during the baking process. in this research, production of fortified corn flakes by lactobacillus plantarum and l. reuteri, as well as incorporation of oat and malt fiber as prebiotics have been studied. materials and methods: plackett-burman statistical design was ...

Article history: Received 20 April 2010 Received in revised form 15 July 2010 Accepted 26 July 2010 Available online 3 August 2010 Communicated by P.R. Holland Using multiphoton entangled states, we demonstrate improving spatial imaging resolution beyond the Rayleigh diffraction limit in the quantum imaging process. In particular, we examine resolution enhancement using triphoton W state and a ...

Presented at the RSS annual meeting 2010, Brighton, U.K. The work discussed here represents collaborations with many people, especially Bradley Efron, Jerome Friedman, Trevor Hastie, Holger Hoefling, Iain Johnstone, Ryan Tibshirani and Daniela Witten I would like to thank the research section of the Royal Statistical Society for inviting me to present this retrospective paper. In this paper I g...

Baseball cards exhibit anomalies that are analogous to those that have been documented in financial markets, namely, momentum, price drift in the direction of past fundamental performance, and IPO underperformance. Momentum profits are higher among active players than retired players, and among newer sets than older sets. Regarding IPO underperformance, we find newly issued rookie cards underpe...
