Editorial, Volume 4 (2019)

On behalf of the Editorial Board, it is with great pride and sincere privilege that I am writing this message to present the volume 4 (2019) of the To Physics Journal. The issue comes from a long process, and we took all the necessary steps to make it a high-caliber scientific publication. We are relying on the collaboration of all our Editors, reviewers, and contributors to make it a contemporary, lively, and relevant publication

A Study on Inventory Management in Manufacturing Industry with specific reference to Bangalore

The study evaluates inventory control aspects, including turnover, stock outs, carrying costs, and order fulfilment rates.Commendable aspects of industryof current practices include maintaining adequate stock levels and minimizing excess inventory. However, opportunities for improvement lie in enhancing demand forecasting accuracy and real-time stock monitoring. The study suggests integrating advanced technologies and data analytics to address these gaps. Using the secondary data of the balance sheet we have analysed the inventory turnover, growth of total inventory, current assets on raw materials. Also, we have analysed the ABC analysis of the materials. The result shows that the business has maintained a relatively high percentage of inventories on current assets, indicating its reliance on inventory as a key asset

UV light sensing and switching applications of dimeric smectic liquid crystals: comparative calculations

Two dimeric smectic molecules, namely α-ω-bis (4-n-pentylanilinebenzylidene-4′-oxy) butane (PABO4) and α-ω-bis (4-n-pentylanilinebenzylidene-4′-oxy) pentane (PABO5), have been considered for sensing UV light. The compounds’ optimization process has been performed through B3LYP hybrid functional together with basis set 6-31+G (d) using the input parameters from the crystallographer. The absorption of UV analysis of these compounds has been estimated, and the configuration interaction single-level method has been used to analyse the electronic transition features coupled with the calculation of excited states using semi-empirical Hamiltonian ZINDO. The CNDO/S, INDO/S together with CI approaches, has been utilized for comparative evaluation. The spectral-associated parameters have been summarized. The molecules discussed in this manuscript present several features, viz. the absorption range of the molecules that is sensitive to different wavelengths, the usage in flexible devices, offering the prospect for UV sensors. Further, the switching applications have been explored based on the oscillator strength data in various regions of wavelengths

Formulation and Evaluation of Sumatriptan Succinate Oral Disintegrating Tablets Using Super Disintegrants

The main objective of this research work is to formulate and evaluate the oral disintegrating tablets of sumatriptan succinate to provide faster relief from pain to migraine sufferers. The formulations were optimized by incorporating varying composition of croscarmellose sodium and treated agar as super disintegrates. All the excipients are tested for compatibility with model drug, which revealed that there was no physical and chemical interaction occurred. The blend of each formulation was evaluated for precompression parameters before compression. The tablets are prepared by direct compression method. All the excipients are tested for compatibility. The thickness, hardness, friability, weight variation, disintegration time, drug content uniformity, dissolution rate study etc. were evaluated for core tablets. The dissolution rate of prepared tablets was studied using 900 ml of phosphate buffer solution, pH 6.8 at 37 ± 0.5°C and 50 rpm. One tablet was used in each test. Samples of dissolution fluid (5 ml) were withdrawn through a filter at different time intervals (2.5, 5, 10, 15 & 20 min) and assayed for drug content at 226 nm. Based on the dissolution test result TA3 formulation (containing 7.5% Treated Agar) was selected as best formulation among all formulations
