Use of Excel Spreadsheet Calculators in Handling Data Generated From UV- Spectrometer

To ease the complexities of handling data generated from different analytical procedures, validated excel spreadsheet containing relevant formulas are developed to ensure the process of data handling will consistently produce the expected results. This paper introduces the use of Excel spreadsheets in handling data generated from using a UV-Spectrometer in determination of analyte concentration in various dosage form

Influence of key polymer attributes, manufacturing conditions and sintering on abuse deterrence of physical barrier type abuse deterrent formulations (ADF)

When sintering us used to treat tablet formulations containing polyethylene oxide (PEO), the polymer particles are able to form stronger bonds thereby increase tablet tensile strength. This increase in strength can make it more difficult for an abuser to break, chew, or grind opioid tablets. A mechanistic study was implemented to understand the key sintering factors that influence tensile strength

An Overview of CENS Contaminant Transport Observation and Management Research

The contaminant assessment and management (or “Contam”) research area focuses on developing and implementing embedded networked sensing (ENS) technology to support this new observational strategy in the context of mass and energy distributions and fluxes across a range of temporal and synoptic scales. The specific areas of interest for Contam include soils, groundwater, and riparian systems. The Contam application domain is unique relative to the other three CENS applications in that it is often concerned with enabling adaptive management of environmental problems through engineered responses triggered by ENS observations. Example applications include improving our understanding of river metabolism in relation to adjacent and upstream land management practices, creating closed-loop feedback-control systems for conserving irrigation water and avoiding excessive nitrogen application in agricultural systems, delineating nutrient fluxes between groundwater and surface water, and rapid identification of coastal pollutants
