Diffusiophoresis in non-adsorbing polymer solutions: the Asakura-Oosawa model and stratification in drying films [PDF]
, 2017 A colloidal particle placed in an inhomogeneous solution of smaller non-adsorbing polymers will move towards regions of lower polymer concentration, in order to reduce the free energy of the interface between the surface of the particle and the solution.

Optimization of inulin production process parameters using response surface methodology
Future Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020 Background Chicory is one of the major source of inulin. In our study, Box–Behnken model/response surface analysis (RSM) was used for the optimization of spray drying process variables to get the maximum inulin yield from chicory (Cichorium intybus L ...

Vial Wall Effect on Freeze-Drying Speed
Journal of Pharmaceutical SciencesThe vial wall thermal conductivity and thickness effect on freeze-drying speed is simulated. A 2D axisymmetric numerical simulation of Mannitol freeze-drying is employed using the boundary element method. The originality of the presented approach lies in the simulation of heat transfer in the vial walls as an additional computational domain in contrast

Diagnosing dry eye with dynamic-area high-speed videokeratoscopy [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2011 Dry eye syndrome is one of the most commonly reported eye health conditions. Dynamic-area high-speed videokeratoscopy (DA-HSV) represents a promising alternative to the most invasive clinical methods for the assessment of the tear film surface quality (TFSQ), particularly as Placido-disk videokeratoscopy is both relatively inexpensive and widely used ...
