Transdermal Delivery of Desmopressin Acetate from Water-in- Oil Nano/submicron Emulsion Systems

Arezou Soroushnia; Fariba Ganji; Seyed Mojtaba Taghizadeh

Volume 13, Issue 4 , November 2016, Pages 1-13

Abstract
  Desmopressin acetate is a potent synthetic peptide hormone. A more acceptable route of Desmopressin acetate is a potent synthetic peptide hormone. That is administered via parenteral, intranasal, and oral routes. A more acceptable route of administration with potentially good bioavailability could be ...  Read More

Liquid-liquid equilibrium data prediction using large margin nearest neighbor

mohsen pirdashti; kamyar movagharnejad; silvia Curteanu; Florin Leon; Farshad Rahimpour

Volume 13, Issue 4 , November 2016, Pages 14-32

Abstract
  Guanidine hydrochloride has been widely used in the initial recovery steps of active protein from the inclusion bodies in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). The knowledge of the guanidine hydrochloride effects on the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) phase diagram behavior is still inadequate and no comprehensive ...  Read More

Preparation of Flame Retardant Polystyrene via In-Situ Bulk Polymerization Method and Evaluation of its Flammability Properties

Seyed Jamaleddin Peighambardoust; Ramin Faridvand; Abolfazl Shenavar

Volume 13, Issue 4 , November 2016, Pages 62-70

Abstract
  In this study, in-situ bulk polymerization was investigated for obtaining flame retardant polystyrene (PS). The halogenated and phosphoric compounds were used as flame retardant additives and Perkadox 30 was used as a synergist. The flammability of the PS was evaluated by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), ...  Read More

Simultaneous high hydrogen content-synthesis gas production and in-situ CO2 removal via sorption-enhanced reaction process: modeling, sensitivity analysis and multi-objective optimization using NSGA-II algorithm

Malihe Heravi; Mahdi Bayat; Mohammad Reza Rahimpour

Volume 13, Issue 4 , November 2016, Pages 71-95

Abstract
  The main focus of this study is improvement of the steam-methane reforming (SMR) process by in-situ CO2 removal to produce high hydrogen content synthesis gas. Sorption-enhanced (SE) concept is applied to improve process performance. In the proposed structure, the solid phase CO2 adsorbents and pre-reformed ...  Read More
