Analysis of Engine Performance and Exhaust Emission Characteristics of VCR Engine Fuelled with Different Blends of Jatropha Biodiesel
Abstract: With the concern to global environment issues, researchers are encouraged to find alternate for scarce and rapidly diminishing fossil fuels. From the variety of options, fuels obtained from vegetable oils or animal fats have proven better alternate for petroleum fuels. Having its roots in agriculture, vegetable oils are capable to minimize overall СO addition to the atmosphere. Due to higher viscosity and low volatility compared to petroleum diesel, neat vegetable …

Extraction of Rice Bran Oil and Its Application in Producing Biodiesel
Abstract: Increased environmental awareness and depletion of resources are driving industry to develop viable alternative fuels from renewable resources that are environmentally more acceptable. Vegetable oil is a potential alternative fuel. The most detrimental properties of vegetable oils are its high viscosity and low volatility and these cause several problems during their long duration usage in compression ignition (CI) engines. The most commonly used method to make vegetable oil suitable for …

Influence of Blending Technique on Surface Free Energy of Modified Asphalt Cement
Abstract: AbstractThe processing technique of modified asphalt cement in the laboratory is adopted by heating the asphalt cement in an oven to the required mixing temperature; then the additive is added and mixed for a target mixing time. It was felt that such technique allows more volatiles to evaporate and required high mixing temperature. In this work, asphalt cement of 44 penetration grade was gained from Dora refinery, south west of …

Concept of Stability of Drugs in Unani Perspective
Abstract: Stability of a pharmaceutical product can be defined as the capability of a particular formulation, in a specific container closure system to remain within its physical, chemical, microbiological, therapeutic and toxicological specifications. According to ancient Unani physicians shelf life of a drug is determined by organoleptic characters of the drugs i.e., external features, color, smell, taste, consistency, structure, weight, clarity, cleanliness and freshness. In classical Unani literature there is a …

A Consolidated Review on Novel Liquisolid Technique to Enhance Aqueous Solubility of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs
Abstract: Liquid technique is a novel capable method that can change the dissolution rate of water insoluble drugs. Liquid preparations such as solutions or suspensions of water unsolvable drugs in suitable non-volatile liquid vechicles can be transformed into suitable flowing as well as compressible powders by blending with selected powder excipients. It has been speculated that such systems exhibit improved release profiles. In this case, even though the drug is in …
