The screening and careful selection of excipients is a critical step in paediatric formulation development as certain excipients acceptable in adult formulations, may not be appropriate for paediatric use.

To evaluate the potential environmental and health implications of leaching of wood preservatives in service under different conditions, there is a need for a predictive model that provides estimates of the rate and extent of leaching over a wide range of exposure conditions. In this paper, we test the hypothesis that preservative component emissions can be modeled on the basis of three easily ...

I. Introduction The US Food and Drug Administration sets performance limit on dissolution in terms of a specific percentage Q that the drug product is required to be dissolved at a specified time. Based on inferences from correlated bioavailability studies, these dissolution specifications were intended to assure that at least 80% of the labeled quantity of drug was available. When carried out ...

The two principal methods for studying fungal biodegradation of lignocellulosic plant tissues were developed for wood preservative testing (soil-block; agar-block). It is well-accepted that soil-block microcosms yield higher decay rates, fewer moisture issues, lower variability among studies, and higher thresholds of preservative toxicity. Soil-block testing is thus the more utilized technique ...

Nevertheless, the remnants of the earlier "spouseography" are often still visible, despite Manuel's apparent awareness of the historiographic implications of using Charlotte's work as a primary source (p. 23). Some instances are trivial. For example, Hall's trip to the Scottish Highlands is alluded to by Manuel ...
