The World Health Organization has called for an effort to eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) around the world. In regions where the disease is endemic, local production and distribution of medicated salt dosed with diethylcarbamazine (DEC) has been an effective method for eradicating LF. A partner of the Notre Dame Haiti program, Group SPES in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, produces a medicated salt c...

Shankha Bhasma is a popular Ayurvedic formulation which is used in hyperacidity, indigestion, ulcerative dyspepsia and other acid peptic disorders. The dosage uniformity and patient compliance can be increased and adultration can be decreased in ayurvedic powders by formulating them into tablets. The aim of the present work is to develop and evaluate Shankha Bhasma tablets using starch and acac...

Galanthus rizehensis Stern (Amaryllidaceae) was collected from Maçka, Trabzon during flowering and fruiting seasons. Quality control studies and quantitative determination of lycorine were carried out on the prepared specimens. In this respect, assays for humidity, total ash, sulphated ash, hydrochloric acid-insoluble ash were performed on each drug specimen. The total alkaloidal content of G. ...

The vitamin compositions of fresh leaves of Cucurbital moschata and Amaranthus hybridus L. were determined through spectrophotometric and titrimetric methods. The investigation revealed that the fresh leaves of Cucurrbital moshcata contained higher amounts (mg/100g) of ascorbic acid (33.49±1.22), thiamine (17.38±2.06) and riboflavin (3.41±0.18) while Amaranthus hybridus contained higher amount ...

In this study, data for increasing the efficiency of researcher manpower and establishing validity electrode method are presented via a comparative evaluation titrimetric methods BOD analysis. When comparing analysis results wastewater, sewage, leachate, no difference was observed between two methods. Therefore, if is used instead method, amount reagents can be effectively reduced, resulting in...

This paper describes the principle and the technical details of a cheap titrimetric sensor for the measurements of total and partial alkalinity and the estimation of bicarbonate and volatile fatty acids concentrations in anaerobic digestion processes. The on-line operation of the sensor connected to a 1 m upflow fixed bed reactor treating raw industrial wine vinasses has been shown to be reliab...
