Abstract: Coprocessed compositions containing calcium phosphate and microcrystalline cellulose are useful as excipients in the preparation of solid dosage forms containing active pharmaceutical ingredients, particularly those prepared by processes involving multiple compaction steps. Such compositions may be obtained by preparing aqueous slurries of microcrystalline cellulose and calcium phosphate and drying such slurries to produce particulate products. The coprocessed products exhibit improved compactibility, as compared to dry physical blends of the same components.

Abstract: An apparatus for a continuous encapsulation process is provided. The apparatus is a vibrating tubing used alone, in series, or in combination with an encapsulation apparatus, which is used alone or in series. The vibrating tubing is a flat coil, a standing spiral, or a flume. The encapsulation apparatus includes a winding having coils disposed in an aqueous gelling solution. The winding is rotatable about its longitudinal center axis. The winding has adjacently spaced coils forming a plurality of chambers. Objects to be encapsulated are added to the apparatus such that when the winding is rotated, the chambers transport a volume of objects through the length winding in the aqueous gelling solution in a predetermined time.

Abstract: Combustion flue gas containing NOX and SOX is treated to remove NOX in a multistep system in which NOX is reduced in the flue gas stream via selective catalytic reduction or selective non-catalytic reduction with ammonia or an ammonia-forming compound, followed treatment with hydrogen peroxide to remove residual ammonia and, optionally, treatment with an alkali reagent to reduce residual NOX in the flue gas stream. The NOX-depleted flue gas stream may also be subjected to a desulfurization treatment for removal of SOX.

Abstract: Low molecular weight low molecular weight chitosan oligomers were able to self-assemble siRNA into nanosized particles, provide protection against enzymatic degradation, and mediate gene silencing that is stable over a long period of time in vitro. The control of structural variables in formulating complexes of siRNA with low molecular weight chitosans provides an efficient alternative delivery system for siRNA in vitro and in vivo.
