Recently, ethylcellulose/guar gum blends have been reported to provide ethanol-resistant drug release kinetics from coated dosage forms. This is because the ethanol insoluble guar gum effectively avoids undesired ethylcellulose dissolution in ethanol-rich bulk fluids. However, so far the importance of crucial formulation parameters, including the minimum amount of guar gum to be incorporated an...

Slab method of analysis has been used for solving metal forming problems for a long time. However it has been restricted to plane strain and axisymmetric problems due to limitations in its formulations. In this paper a new formulation has been proposed so that it could be applied to three dimensional problems in metal forming. A parametric slab has been considered in this analysis and the force...

Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques are increasingly used to quantify target sequences for diagnostic and research purposes. Due to its 'quantitative' character, it is very important to determine the variability of this technique correlating with several experimental conditions. The objective of this study was to analyse the effect of manufacturing lots of PCR reagents on two m...

background: every year many organizations formulate a code of ethics (coe) but when it comes to implementing, it does not achieve the desired purposes. ineffectiveness of coes can stem from different factors and surely, one of them is bad formulation. this research was conducted to identify the barriers to effective formulation of coes in one of the main state universities of medical sciences i...

Influence of pH, buffer, preservative, tonicity and viscosity modifiers on in vitro transcorneal permeation of ofloxacin was studied using excised goat cornea. Permeation studies were carried out by putting 1 ml of test formulation on the cornea (0.78cm) mounted between the donor and receptor compartments of an all glass modified Franz diffusion cell and measuring ofloxacin concentration in the...

Bundle adjustment (BA) is an optimization process refining the estimates of extrinsic camera parameters (position and orientation, or pose) and the three dimensional (3D) positions of features using overlapping images from multiple views. The optimization in BA may be formulated many ways. We compare four alternatives, including the standard formulation, from the perspectives of the region of c...

Current research has been done to develop statistically and optimized immediate release tablets for eslicarbazepine. Nineteen formulations of eslicarbazepine acetate are prepared by wet granulation. The three-dimensional Box-Behnken design at three levels (33) was developed study how selected independent variables affect dependent responses. After the initial test, items were as follows; polyvi...

The purpose of present research work is to develop gastro retentive formulation for Moxifloxacin using various release retardants. Moxifloxacin, novel synthetic fluoro quinolone, antibacterial agent. Floating tablets of Moxifloxacin. HCl were prepared using variable amounts of HPMCK4M, HPMCK15M and HPMCK100M with effervescent mixtures by direct compression technique. Totally 9 formulations were...
