Published information on alternative ways to administer commercial dosage forms may not always be the best option for patients and the hospital staff. There are resources available to research information about drugs and excipients. A compounding pharmacist can review the information and, based on training and experience in compounding, develop a formulation to meet the individual needs of a pa...

Compounding, the process of combining several simplex words into a complex whole, is a productive process in a wide range of languages. In particular, concatenative compounding, in which the components are “glued” together, leads to problems, for instance, in computational tools that rely on a predefined lexicon. Here we present the AuCoPro project, which focuses on compounding in the closely r...

Most compounded prescriptions are not analyzed to determine the accuracy of the employed instruments and procedures. The assumption is that the compounded prescription will be +/- 5% the labeled claim. Two classes of School of Pharmcacy students who received repeated instruction and supervision on proper compounding techniques and procedures were assessed to determine their accuracy of compound...

The authors present a tokenizer and nite-state morphological analyzer [Beesley and Karttunen 2003] for Malagasy, based primarily on the discussion of Malagasy morphology in Keenan and Polinsky [1998] and Randriamasimanana [1986].

This article asks how compounding works in second language (L2) German grammar, by exploring data from the error-annotated Falko corpus of native and advanced non-native German writing. Beyond differences in overall frequency and productivity of L2 compounding, I use a...
