an in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the effect of supplemental non-fiber carbohydrate(nfc) on the disappearance kinetics of cellulose (ce) by mixed ruminal microorganisms. non-supplementedor nfc supplemented cellulose (467 mg nfc/g cellulose as sucrose (cesu) or starch (cest) or a 1:1 mixtureof sucrose + starch (cesust)) were incubated for 24, 48, and 96 h at 39°c. after each incu...

the aim of the current study was to design a porous osmotic pump–based drug delivery system for controlling the release of buspirone from the delivery system. the osmotic pump was successfully developed using symmetric membrane coating. the core of the tablets was prepared by direct compression technique and coated using dip-coating technique. drug release from the osmotic system was studied us...

Mass action kinetics whose elementary reactions are of at most second order provide the simplest models of nonlinear chemical systems. Despite their simplicity, however, only few7 investigations deal with second order mass action kinetics in a system­ atic and general setting. In [1] Aris showed the connection between these kinetics and certain nonassociative algebras. Jenks [2, 3] studied gene...

An attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of particle size distribution on coal flotation kinetics. The effect of particle size (Ps) on kinetics constant (k) and maximum theoretical flotation recovery (RI) was investigated while other operational parameters were kept constant. The relationship between flotation kinetics constant and theoretical flotation recovery with par...

Hyperpolarized (13)C MR measurements have the potential to display non-linear kinetics. We have developed an approach to describe possible non-first-order kinetics of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C] pyruvate employing a system of differential equations that agrees with the principle of conservation of mass of the hyperpolarized signal. Simultaneous fitting to a second-order model for conversion of [1-...

background & aims of the study: nitrogenous compounds could directly create many problems for human's health and the environment. thus, removal of nitrogenous compounds is necessary. among the most important problems, decreasing dissolved oxygen, toxicity for aquatics, eutrophication, converting aerobic medium into anaerobic one and corrosion could be noted. the aim of this study was deter...

An in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the effect of supplemental non-fiber carbohydrate(NFC) on the disappearance kinetics of cellulose (Ce) by mixed ruminal microorganisms. Non-supplementedor NFC supplemented cellulose (467 mg NFC/g cellulose as sucrose (CeSu) or starch (CeSt) or a 1:1 mixtureof sucrose + starch (CeSuSt)) were incubated for 24, 48, and 96 h at 39°C. After each incu...

The time course of ethanol disappearance from the blood has been examined in normal males and females and in alcohol misusers. Blood alcohol estimations were made over a period of 3 hr, following an oral dose of ethanol (0.8 g/kg body weight) administered in the form of whisky. Attempts were made to fit the data to zero order, first order and mixed zero + first order kinetics. In the majority (...
