Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are among the most common and prevalent diseases in the world (Raadhika and Shanthi, 2012; Rao and Kulkarni , 2012). Salbutamol sulphate (SS) is a short-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for the relief of bronchospasm (Sharma et al., 2015). Salbutamol sulphate is readily absorbed from the gastro intestinal tract following oral administration, and it undergoes the first pass metabolism in the liver. It requires multiple dosing a day…

Blanching: Blanching is a relatively mild heat treatment performed to improve the quality of preserved or stored food products. It is used to remove trapped gases from the product, soften the product, fix product color, or inactivate enzymes. It also eliminates or reduces the numbers of relatively heat-sensitive pathogens and spoilage organisms. • Water and steam blanchers: Water and steam blanchers are the most commonly used blanchers in the food processing industry • Time and temperature…

Effect of Organic Solvents on Particle Size When anti solvent was 0.4% (w/v) F68 aqueous solution, the effect of various good solvent was investigated. These organic solvents include ethanol, methanol, PEG 400, propylene glycol. The result as mention in Table 16 & Figure 27 showed that the particles prepared by methanol were the smallest (317 nm) among other organic solvents. Ethanol, PEG 400, and propylene glycol produced the particles having the mean particle size of 525nm, 1274nm, 864nm,…

As one component in the job design, the management of the company needs to implement an ergonomics factor to build a good interface between human and machine. Refer to Heizer and Render (2006), Ergonomics means “the study of work”. And the basic reason of the ergonomics study is come from an understanding that the male and female employee come in limited configuration. Therefore, design of tools and the workplace depends on study of people to determine what they can and cannot do. And the…

An important chemical property of soil that can affect herbicide persistence is pH. Soil composition is a physical factor determined by the relative amounts of sand, silt, and clay in the soil (the soil texture), as well as by the organic-matter content. The types and abundance of soil microorganisms present in the soil make up the microbial aspects of the soil environment. Generally, soils high…

3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1: Effect of Storage Conditions on Egg Weight Tables 1- 2 show the results of effect of storage conditions on eggs weight (chicken eggs and quail eggs). The weight of chicken eggs stored at ambient condition (control), moist sawdust, refrigerator and those that were dipped in oil reduced from 63.61-60.03g, 63.11-60.99g, 61.12-59.41g and 66.12-65.79g respectively. While the weight of quail eggs stored at ambient condition (control), moist sawdust, refrigerator and…

1 Introduction Berberine (BBR), an isoquinoline alkaloid (Fig. 1), is isolated from many medicinal herbs, such as Coptidis rhizome (Coptis chinensis Franch.) and Cortex phellodendri (Phellodendron chinense C.K.Schneid.) (1). BBR has been used to treat microbial infection, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal (GI) diseases due to its antibacterial, antidiarrheal and strong antidotal properties (2, 3). In recent years, much focus has been put on its other potential bioactivities, such as…

The reason the lake has such a great rate of evaporation compared to other large lakes is due to the facts; the high elevation of the lake therefore lower air pressure, and lack of air humidity that creates a vapor pressure deficit. Annual evaporation for the lake is 90% of the lake’s water loss and water balance of the lake greatly depends on evaporation flux from year to year, the other 10% loss is to the Rio Desaguadero (Delclaux et…

Outside of these periods, the climate in Yokohama is often quite appealing with clearly defined seasons. During the summer, temperatures in Yokohama can climb to more than 30oC/86oF, and feature fairly high levels of humidity. From the middle of June until the middle of July, Yokohama is known for its rainy season, which is typical of much of Japan. Showers can be heavy during this period, but they are often short lived, as sunny weather is never far away. Average precipitation…
