The Trail Making Test (TMT) is widely used for assessing executive function, frontal lobe abilities, and visual motor skills. Part A of this pen-and-paper test (TMT-A) involves linking numbers randomly distributed in space, in ascending order. Part B (TMT-B) alternates between linking numbers and letters. TMT-B is more demanding than TMT-A, but the mental processing that supports the performanc...

The paperwork associated with evidentiary collection and analysis is a highly repetitive and time-consuming process which often involves duplication of work and can frequently result in documentary errors. Electronic entry of evidencerelated information can facilitate greater accuracy and less time spent on data entry. This manuscript describes a general framework for the implementation of an e...

This paper describes a collaborative theoretical and experimental research effort to investigate the performance of co-axial atomizers utilized in pharmaceutical tablet coating when atomizing common tablet coating solutions under typical processing conditions. In pharmaceutically relevant applications, the liquids being atomized are typically complex, non-Newtonian fluids which may contain poly...

The Tablet PC version of Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system includes components that recognise handwriting. The data structures and objects used to store handwriting in Tablet PCs are called “ink”. The recognition of handwriting appears to be quite slow. A technical introduction to ink and the definition of the interfaces that allow the creation of purpose built handwriting recognition mod...

The disintegration process of pharmaceutical tablets is a crucial step in the oral delivery drug. Tablet does not only refer to break up interparticle bonds, but also relates liquid absorption and swelling behaviour tablet. This study demonstrates use sessile drop method coupled with image processing models analyse surface kinetics four filler combinations (microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)/mann...

Hach University of Manchester, Ashland Specialty Ingredients, AstraZeneca Purpose Aqueous film coating still remains a complex process in which the process parameters selected can have a major impact on ultimate product quality. In this study, a wide range of processing parameters was performed in order t...

aluminum phosphide (alp) as 3 g tablet is widely used in iran to protect stored food grains from pests. hyperglycemia following its ingestion has been already reported in the recent years but severe hypoglycemia is uncommon. here, we report a 19 year old male who attempted suicide with one tablet of alp and demonstrated severe hypoglycemia. despite restoration of blood glucose concentration to ...

propranolol, a prototypical b-adrenergic receptor antagonist and atenolol, a cardio-selective b-antagonist are widely used in therapeutic regimens for treatment of hypertensive patients. in iran, several pharmaceutical manufacturers formulate these two b-blockers. as the formulation of a dosage form is essential for the patient's safety and drug efficacy, in this study we aimed to evaluate...

Three relatively distinct types of devices have characterized the digital revolution; 1) the personal computer of the 1990s, 2) the mobile phone in the first decade of the new millennium and, most recently, 3) the tablet computer. Socio-cognitive theorists maintain that use of tools and technologies over time, changes the nature of human mental processes. For example, computer technology afford...
