    Drug delivery system plays a pivotal role in the therapeutic efficacy of any drug therapy. This work was aimed to prepare and evaluate a novel drug delivery system of a therapeutically effective and proven drug. In this work, floating drug delivery administration has been selected because floating drug delivery administration appears to be an ideal for the systemic drug delivery. Cefaclor is an effective simple antibiotic drug. Therefore the objective of this thesis was to develop a new floating drug delivery system of Cefaclor, which can be administered through the oral route, particularly to achieve rapid relief by fast onset of action; to increase bioavailability and to avoid the second dose of administration. The work started with the preformulation followed by different trials of formulations. The compatibility study observations showed that, chemically Cefaclor remained unaffected by excipients. • This project of final blend of Cefaclor floating matrix tablets were studied for angle of repose, tapped density, bulk density, compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. The value of Carr’s Index from 5-16 indicates excellent to good flow of powder. Similarly value of Hausner ratio (< 1.25) and Angle of repose (< 25o) indicates good flow properties of drug. • The absorption maximum of Cefaclor was studied using UV spectrophotometry and found at 264 nm as the max. Using the absorption maxima, linearity was performed and plotted from the concentrations of 5-30 μg/ml was performed and the regression coefficient of the curve was found to be 0.9976. Eleven batches of floating tablet were formulated using Cefaclor 250 mg with hydrophilic polymers, effervescent agent, filler, lubricant and anti-adherent with or without different proportions. • Various formulations show good flow properties. Results of angle of repose (210.22′ – 240.18′), Bulk density (0.337-0.372), tapped density (0.384-0.423), Carr’s index (11.25-17.33) and Hausner’s ratio (1.109-1.195) shows satisfactory results, which is need for better bioavailability. • Evaluation results for hardness of various batches of prepared formulations (10.2 –11.1 kg / sq cm) and friability (0.205 – 0.325 %) indicates that the floating tablets having sufficient strength to withstand the physical abrasion. Tablets of all the batches were passed in the weight variation test as per the limits prescribed in IP (5% deviation is allowed for average weight of tablet X ≥ 250 mg). • In vitro buoyancy study of Cefaclor floating tablets F7 to F11 was found to be satisfactory. It was observed that as the amount of polymer increases the floating lag time decreases. • In vitro dissolution study Formulation F11 is selected as optimized formulation among all the formulations, which shows 94.91 % sustained release at the end of 12 h. Formulation F11 is selected as optimized formulation among all the formulations, which swelled to 121.38 % at the end of 8 hours. • The selected formulation were packed in wide mouth bottle. They were then stored at 25 ºC ± 2 ºC/60% RH, 40 ºC ± 2 ºC/75% RH for 3 months chamber and also evaluated for their physical appearance, drug content, drug dissolution and other studies at specified intervals of time. Long term testing 25 ºC + -2 ºC/60% RH + -5% accelerated testing 40 ºC + -20 ºC/75% RH + -5% for months registered conditions 5 ºC + -3 ºC. Stability studies for the present work carried out at 25 ºC + -2 ºC/60% RH, 40 ºC + -2 ºC/75%. RH for the selected formulation for three months and 5 ºC + -3 ºC refrigerated conditions for 14 days. In the present study the floating tablets of Cefaclor showed better gastric cytoprotection when compared with conventional dosage form. This may be due to its extended duration of release and action. Floating drug delivery of Cefaclor has been an equivalent dose of Cefaclor and the target concentration achieved more rapidly and with less variability in plasma concentrations compared with eternal formulations

    Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) of ovulatory disorders is defined as the state of abnormal bleeding from the genital tract without any clinically detectable organic, systemic and iatrogenic cause. AUB is one of the common gynaecological issues among the patients visiting the hospital as it could affect at least 1/3rd of women in the child bearing age. Ormeloxifene, a nonsteroidal, nonhormonal and selective estrogen receptor modulator is a highly safe drug in treating acute and abnormal menstrual bleeding.   Methods: The 40 cases of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) with ovulatory disorder in the range of 40-52 years of age were treated with 60 mg ormeloxifene twice a week for first 12 weeks and once a week for next 12 weeks.  The patients were evaluated for haemoglobin, pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC) score and endometrial thickness before and after treatment.Results: A significant decrease in endometrial thickness and PBAC score was observed. Also, the level of haemoglobin is found to increase significantly from 8.4±0.8 to 9.9±0.7. In this study, following 6 months of treatment with ormeloxifene, 90% of cases had marked improvement in their symptoms, while 10% of the patients required surgical management i.e., hysterectomy. Amenorrhea was observed in 7.5% of total cases and hypomenorrhea in 5% cases.Conclusions: Based on these results we could conclude that ormeloxifene could be the drug of choice in patients with AUB as it is very safe with manageable side effects. This simple drug-based therapy has facilitated compliance, tolerability and noticeable reduction of symptoms resulting in satisfaction towards the treatment

    Robust Rate control for Video Streaming in Heterogeneous Environment

    The problem of scalable video streaming from a server to multinetwork clients over heterogeneous access networks, with the goal of minimizing the distortion of the received videos. This problem has numerous applications. They are: 1) mo-bile devices connecting to multiple licensed and ISM bands, and 2) Cognitive multiradio devices employing spectrum bonding. In this paper, we ascertain how to optimally determine which video packets to transmit over each access network. We present models to capture the network conditions and video characteristics and develop an integer program for deterministic packet scheduling. Solving the integer program exactly is typically not computationally tractable, so we develop heuristic algorithms for deterministic packet scheduling, as well as convex optimization problems for randomized packet scheduling. We carry out a thorough study of the tradeoff between performance and computational complexity and propose a convex programming-based algorithm that yields good performance while being suitable for real-time applications. We conduct extensive trace-driven simulations to evaluate the proposed algorithms using real network conditions and scalable video streams. The simulation results show that the proposed convex programmingbased algorithm: 1) outperforms the rate control algorithms defined in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) by about 10-15 dB higher video quality 2) reduces average delivery delay by over 90% compared to DCCP; 3) results in higher average video quality of 4.47 and 1.92 dB than the two developed heuristics 4) runs efficiently, up to six times faster than the best-performing heuristi

    In recent times indoor air quality has attracted the attention of policy makers and researchers similar to that of external air pollution. The indoor environments are confined and closed compared to external environments providing less opportunity for the pollutants to dilute. Our everyday devices emit various solids and gases into the environment during their operation. These emissions contain many substances that are harmful to human health, when exposed to them for a prolonged period of time. Here we propose an air quality monitoring system that allows us to monitor and check live air quality in particular areas through IOT. The System uses air sensors to sense presence of harmful gases/compounds in the air and constantly transmit this data to microcontroller PIC16F877A. The sensors interact with microcontroller which processes this data and transmits it over internet. The gas levels can be viewed through a webpage from anywhere in the world. This allows authorities to monitor air pollution in different areas and take action against it
