Continuous blending of dry pharmaceutical powders
Conventional batch blending of pharmaceutical powders coupled with long quality analysis times increases the production cycle time leading to strained cash flows. Also, scale-up issues faced in process development causes delays in transforming a drug in research to a drug under commercial …

Blending Methods for Composite Laminate Optimization
… to blend the local panel designs globally. The blending process is accomplished using the edit distance between individuals of a population and the set of migrants from adjacent panels. The objective function evaluating the fitness of designs is modified according to the severity of mismatches …

Writing Images: Blending Drawings and Code
Drawing has long been known to show the thought process of the artist because of its physical immediacy and the way it encourages fast, informal iteration. In contrast the history of programming has been toward a universal language so that common challenges can be addressed in the same way. This …

Blending of polyethylene materials for pipe applications
Melt blending of polyethylene, in particularly HDPE and LLDPE, have been shown to be a major success, especially in the film markets. In this thesis studies are reported on the stress rupture performance of pipes produced from selected polyethylene materials blended to a chosen MDPE pipe grade. The …

Teaching a Geometry Unit on Solids Incorporating Blending Learning
This curriculum was developed to help teachers implement blended learning models into a unit on geometric solids. The curriculum incorporates group discussions, hands-on activities and virtual manipulatives to develop student’s conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning. The materials are …

Bonding of additives to functional polyolefins by reactive blending
… study examined the concept of using a reactive blending process to develop new polymeric additive systems. The objective was to investigate the potential of using a reactive processing technique as a means to bond additives to functional polymers, to create “in situ” bonds between functional …

Music and the English Lyric Poem: Explporations in Conceptual Blending
… English Lyric Poem: Explorations in Conceptual Blending Although lyrics are addressed primarily to the ear, the development of lyric poetry, that is of 'lyrical' poetry that is not necessarily meant to be sung , is partly the consequence of the rise of print communication and tends to "address …

Synthesis of Progressive Varying Texture Through Blending Laplacian Pyramid Coefficients
We generate a texture synthesis algorithm where there is gradual progression of merged textures in the output image. The goal of the algorithm is to merge the textures based on given measure of texture proportion. The proportion of texture contents defines how much of textures from each input will …

Ocean Surface Maps From Blending Disparate Data Through Normal Mode Analysis
… through Normal Mode Analysis (NMA). The NMA blending process is described, and surface maps of velocity and convergence are produced. Using statistical and qualitative techniques, the NMA generated “nowcasts” are analyzed to determine the significant modes applicable to varying oceanographic …

BlendDB : blending table layouts to support efficient browsing of relational databases
The physical implementation of most relational databases follows their logical description, where each relation is stored in its own file or collection of files on disk. Such an implementation is good for queries that filter or aggregate large portions of a single table, and provides reasonable …

Theoretical and experimental investigation of particle interactions in pharmaceutical powder blending
In pharmaceutical manufacturing practices, blending of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with excipients is a crucial step in that homogeneity of active ingredient after blending is a key issue for the quality assurance of final products. Inadequate knowledge of the interdependence between raw …
