Classic economic theory claims that teams and partnerships are inflicted with free– riding incentives and are inferior to capitalist firms in eliciting proper actions from players. This contradicts the popularity of teams and partnerships as organization forms. By accounting for several factors that may significantly affect effort provision (investment) but have been generally neglected in the ...

OBJECTIVE(S) The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the natural and the chemically modified form of cyclodextrins namely; β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) respectively on the solubility and dissolution rate of aripiprazole; an antipsychotic medication showing poor aqueous solubility. MATERIALS AND METHODS Phase solubility of aripiprazole with the...

Similarity in Dissolution behavior of drugs has long been sought from the percpective of both bioavailability and quality control considrations. The objective of this study was to apply several profile comparison to dissolution data of three different batches of Indomethacin (SR) which two of them were German products as the refernce batches. Dissolution was performed using the United States Ph...

Drug dissolution studies are commonly conducted using compendial methods employing USP Paddle and Basket apparatuses. In many cases, dissolution studies can be of limited benefit especially for product-dependent dissolution procedures like in extended release (ER) formulations. The high variability in dissolution testing, that is not productrelated, emphasizes the need for developing new method...

The purpose of the present study was to synthesize and characterize nanosilica from alkali-extraction of silica fume under controlled conditions using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a dispersing agent. The dissolution efficiency of silica fume was affected by various factors such as concentration of the reagent, reaction time and temperature. A maximum dissolution efficiency of 91% was achieved ...

In living cells, new membranes are produced basically through two processes: mitosis and autopoiesis. These two processes have inspired two variants of cell-like membrane systems, namely P systems with active membranes and P systems with membrane creation. In this paper, we provide the first uniform, efficient solution to the SAT problem in the framework of recogniser P systems with membrane cr...

Abstract: In this paper, kinetics of reductive leaching of manganese dioxide ore by ferrous ion in sulfuric acid media has been examined. Experimental results show that increasing temperature from 20 to 60 °C and decreasing ore particle size from −16+20 to −60+100 mesh considerably enhance both the dissolution rate and efficiency. Molar ratios of Fe2+/MnO2 and H2SO4/MnO2 in excess to the st...

Preparation and in vitro characterization of floating microparticles loaded with cimetidine (FMC) for oral delivery was the objective of this study. Non-solvent addition coacervation technique using hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as the rate controlling polymer was employed to achieve FMC. Three formulations of FMC were prepared and optimized regarding encapsulation efficiency and dissolut...
