Hula is a composition tool designed for the creation of looping textures. Written in Python, and interfacing with the RTcmix synthesis and processing package, Hula supports sampling, synthesis and effects within an object-oriented scripting environment. This paper briefly introduces RTcmix, focusing on its looping and granulating abilities, and then presents an overview of Hula syntax and featu...

In the pharmaceutical industry, the three most common granulation processes for solid dosage form production are wet granulation, dry granulation (roller compaction) and direct blending. Yet, despite being well-established techniques, each has its drawbacks. Moisture-activated dry granulation (MADG) was developed in response to the difficulties experienced with wet granulation, in terms of endp...

A case is presented of pyoderma gangrenosum, describing its characteristic features with particular reference to the phenomenon of pathergy, which considerably limits the surgical approach to the disease. After an account of the numerous skin ulcerations that have to be taken into consideration in order to make a differential diagnosis, it is noted that pyoderma gangrenosum can only on rare occ...

Quantitatively, wounds harboring bacteria that exceed 105 colony-forming units per gram are considered infected wounds. There are acute wounds and chronic wounds, and the approach to controlling the infection is similar. Although the granulating bed may be avascular, systemic anti-infectives are employed adjunctively to circumvent systemic infection. The main armamentarium of the attack is the ...

After first success of epidermal autotransplantation onto a granulating wound in 1869, skin graft become a standard option for closing defect that cannot be closed primarily. [1] Skin graft can be used in various clinical situations. For the reconstruction of traumatic wounds, burn wound, soft tissue defect or skin defect after cancer ablation surgery or after removal of pigmented skin lesion, ...

Notions of core, support, and inversion of a soft set have been defined and studied. Soft approximations are soft sets developed through core and support and are used for granulating the soft space. Membership structure of a soft set has been probed in and many interesting properties are presented. We present a new conjecture to solve an optimum choice problem. Our Example 31 presents a case wh...
