Surface-to-surface projectiles are fired from ground launchers to specified targets destroy them in an effective and economical manner. The mentioned munition is usually unguided thus follows a ballistic trajectory. However, it inevitable have large miss distances when the diverting effects of wind thrust uncertainty apparent. In this study, gradual guidance control strategy proposed improve pe...

Liquid radioactive waste is a common by-product when using radioactive isotopes in research and medicine. Efficient remediation of such liquid waste is crucial for increasing safety during the necessary storage of the material. Herein, we present a novel Gum Karaya stabilized magnetite for the efficient removal of radioactive phosphorus (32)P from liquid radioactive waste. This environmentally ...

Shade dried, powdered seeds of Sterculia guttata were extracted using a Soxhlet extractor with ethanol. Ethanol was removed under reduced pressure and dried to obtained crude extract. This extract was evaluated for its effect on behavioral changes, exploratory activity and barbiturate-sleeping time, using appropriate standard methods in mice. The extract exhibited dose-dependent CNS depressant ...

ABSTRACT Sterculia gum is a complex polysaccharide of high molecular weight. The rapid swelling of gum particles, their relative insolubility and their unusual resistance to bacterial and enzymatic breakdown make this gum suitable as a bulk laxative. The present work deals with development of granular formulation using Sterculia gum and its evaluation. The evaluation includes size gradation usi...

Paliperidone is a well known dopamine antagonist of the atypical antipsychotic class. In the present study Paliperidone was formulated as ER release tablets using natural and synthetic polymers separately or in combination. The aim of ER release formulation is to reduce the frequency of dosing. Tablets are prepared by direct compression method. The optimized formulations contain Paliperidone as...

Locally, Gomutra Silajit is known under the name “RAKTAMANDALAM”. Literally, it means ‘Blood Patch’ or ‘Blood coloured Matter’. In fact, the Ayurvedic texts refer to its colour as that of ‘Japakusuma’ – the China Rose, botanically known as Hibiscus rosasinensis Linn. (Telegu: Mandara). For this reason the local name referring to its colour as ‘Rakta’ (Blood) is apt. The above treatise also indi...
