Evaluation of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-Based Polymers for Improving Solubility and Bioavailability of Poorly Soluble Drugs
Abstract: A significant barrier to optimizing oral bioavailability is the inadequate water solubility of numerous pharmaceutical compounds. This study examined whether polymer systems utilizing polyethylene glycol (PEG) may enhance the solubility and bioavailability of a poorly soluble model drug. Multiple PEG polymers with molecular weights between 2,000 and 10,000 Da were utilized to produce PEGylated preparations. The formulations were subsequently evaluated for dissolution efficacy, medication loading capacity, particle size, and solubility …

Multi-Sensor System for Underwater Pothole Detection to Enhance Road Safety During Monsoon Seasons
Abstract: Monsoon seasons across India and similar tropical regions severely compromise road safety by causing water accumulation that conceals dangerous potholes beneath stagnant pools, leading to frequent vehicle damage, tire punctures, and fatal accidents. Traditional detection methods relying on smartphone accelerometers, ultrasonic sensors, or machine vision fail under flooded conditions due to acoustic signal reflection at water surfaces and optical distortions from glare and turbidity. This research proposes an innovative multi-sensor …
