In this paper we propose a new approach to plane partitioning with similar features to those of Polar Diagram, but we assume that the pole is close to the sites. The result is a new tessellation of the plane in regions called Near Pole Polar Diagram NPPD. Here we define the (NPPD) of points, the dual and the Contracted dual of it, present an optimal algorithms to draw them and discuss the appli...

Systematic studies of silver nanoparticle synthesis in a continuous-flow single-mode microwave reactor using polyol process were performed, revealing that the synthesis is exceptionally effective to give very small metal particles at full reaction yield and very high productivity. Inlet concentration of silver nitrate or silver acetate, applied as metal precursors, varied between 10 and 50 mM, ...

Cori & Larner (1951) described the preparation from rabbit muscle of an enzyme splitting the x-1:6-bonds of glycogen and amylopectin. This enzyme, amylo-1:6-glucosidase, did not act on the native polysaccharides but on the muscle-phosphorylase limit dextrins (#-dextrins), from which glucose was liberated, the dextrins then becoming susceptible to further phosphorolysis. They concluded that in t...

We analyse the bidding for unit-price contracts, a very common procurement auction. With a unit price contract, not the provision of the good but the employment of several kinds of inputs is priced. The seller charges a unit price for the employed quantity of each input. To select one seller, a linear selection rule is used to rank submitted lists of unit prices. In this paper, we model heterog...

a topical preparation containing aceclofenac was developed using an o/w microemulsion system. isopropyl myristate was chosen as the oil phase as it showed a good solubilising capacity. pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were used to obtain the concentration ranges of the oil, surfactant (labrasol) and co-surfactant (plurol oleique) for microemulsion formation. five different formulations were formul...

the aim of this investigation was to design and develop nanoemulsions (nes) as novel ophthalmic delivery systems for brinzolamide (bzd). phase behavior of quaternary systems composed of triacetin and capryoltm 90 (selected oils, screened through the solubility studies), various surfactants (namely, cremophor rh 40, brij 35, labrasol and tyloxapol), transcutol p (as co-surfactant) and water a...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: robotic needle insertion in biological tissues has been known as one the most applicable procedures in sampling, robotic injection and different medical therapies and operations. objective: in this paper, we would like to investigate the effects of angular velocity in soft tissue insertion procedure by considering force-displacement diag...

objective(s): the objective of this study was to design a topical microemulsion of vit b12 and to study the correlation between internal structure and physicochemical properties of the microemulsions. microemulsions are thermodynamically stable mixtures of water, oil, surfactants and usually cosurfactants with several advantages for topical and transdermal drug delivery. the formulation of micr...
