the present study investigates the possibility of using poloxamers as solubility and dissolution rate enhancing agents of poorly water soluble bioactive constituent patchouli alcohol (pa) that can be used for the preparation of immediate release pellets formulation. two commercially available grades poloxamer 188 (p 188) and poloxamer 407 (p 407) were selected, and solid dispersions (sds) conta...

in order to evaluate the possibility and compare different irrigation methods in ricecultivation, an experiment was conducted in factorial based randomized complete blockdesign at rice research institute of iran, mazandaran (amol), during 2011. treatments weredifferent irrigation regimes including alternate wet and drying (awd), semi-dry cultivation(sdc), combining shallow water depth with wett...

To improve the management of irrigation district is a key to develop water-saving agriculture. Based on the basic principles of water-saving irrigation, and using the method of Modified Penman Monteith and water balance equation, The system of irrigation management and decision support based on WEBGIS was developed,which is according to the soil moisture, crop growth status, meteorology change ...

This study evaluates four policy options to secure the water supply needed for wetland conservation in Qixinghe--a national wetland nature reserve in China--using four criteria: cost effectiveness, probability of success in achieving the water-saving goal, political feasibility, and farmer acceptance. This multi-criteria analysis framework reveals the ecological, economic, and socio-political t...

Saving of energy and time in drying of laundry directly depends upon the residual water content of the fabric at the end of the spinning cycle. If the amount of water left in the fabric is significantly reduced then the time and energy required to dry the fabric is less. Both these factors benefit the consumer and the national energy consumption. For the USA alone, the 30 % reduction in the res...

One of the subjects in solar water heater design is considering distribution of hot water consumption during the day. For example, each of the household, commercial, office, school, and industrial consumptions have a particular distribution of hot water consumption named pattern in this article. In solar computation principles, the effect of longitude, latitude, and altitude on collector angle ...

We have studied experimentally within the pH range of 3.65-5.5 at 50 degrees C the hydrolysis of cellobiose with Novozym 188, a commercial product with high beta-1,4-glucosidase activity derived from Aspergillus niger. We used wide variations in the conversion to be able to apply the integral method and thus determine that there is substrate and mixed product inhibition. Whether the SES triple ...
