The first project of this thesis is an in vitro study. This study was performed with 8 hydrocortisone topical products on the market for the purpose of comparing one Tec Lab product, a Corticool gel, to the other seven common products on the market. The permeation of these products was...
Riparian ecosystems play numerous and essential roles related to the quality and
flow of water, and food/habitat for fish, and varieties of wildlife. Due to lateral and linear linkages throughout the landscape, these zones influence the integrity of the terrestrial as well as the entire aquatic-riverine ecosystem. Since Euro-American settlement...
A survey of the pulping literature indicated
that although the kinetics of the Kraft Pulping
process has been studied in detail , very few studies
have been reported for Alkaline Sulfite /
Anthraquinone (ASAQ) pulping process. There is no
existing rate model for this pulping process. Hence,
the objectives of...
Non-process elements are present in all kraft
recovery systems. Non-process elements are defined as
those elements which are not essential to the chemical
process, i.e., are neither active pulping chemicals (e.g.,
NaOH and Na₂S in the kraft process), nor compounds present
as a result of incomplete conversion of makeup chemicals...
A nifedipine sustained release dosage form was prepared by using hot-melt batch
coating. Substrates are sugar beads, mesh size 30-35. Stearic acid, Acid Triglyceride, and
carnauba wax were coating agents used to make single layer coated beads and multiple
layer coated beads containing nifedipine. Dissolution of nifedipine from the beads...
A cultivar comparison study was conducted to identify similarities
and differences in cane characteristics between 2 primocane fruiting
red raspberry cultivars and to determine if the differences and
similarities can help determine cultural practices that may improve
productivity. The comparison of the cultivars 'Amity1 and 'August
Red' showed a difference...
The influence of mycorrhizae on the nutrient uptake of
strawberries and red raspberries was investigated. On red raspberries
innoculation with a mycorrhizal fungus resulted in increased P uptake
and a greater concentration of P in the shoots of the plants. The
strawberries were innoculated with 2 species of mycorrhizal fungus....
