ABSTRACTThe nature of collisions within ring systems is reviewed with emphasis on Saturn's rings. The particles may have coherent icy cores and less coherent granular or frosty surface layers, consistent with thermal eclipse observations. Present-day collisions of such ring particles do not cause catastrophic fragmentation of the particles, although some minor surface erosion and reaccretion is possible. Evolution by collisional fragmentation is thus not as important as in the asteroid belt.

Geomorphological Features

A exumação de rochas graníticas do Complexo Tamboril-Santa Quitéria, especificamente, na superfície de aplainamento do município de Irauçuba, Ceará, tem revelado uma grande variedade de feições geomorfológicas que se justificam por fatores litológicos e evidentes flutuações climáticas cenozoicas, comandadas, sobretudo, por morfogênese mecânica, associada a climas secos. São relevos residuais como, maciços, cristas, inselbergs, inselguebergs, lajedos e blocos saprolitizados (boulders) em diferentes graus de desenvolvimento que se sobressaem em meio à superfície erosiva rebaixada, regionalmente conhecida como depressão sertaneja. Nesse trabalho, foram identificadas diferentes formas de relevo granítico condicionadas, sobretudo por intempéries de subsuperfície, controladas por falhas e fraturas, e por remoção do regolito através da erosão superficial, além de eventos de esfoliação. Essas formas graníticas constituem peças fundamentais na compreensão da evolução paleoclimática do município de Irauçuba. Para a realização do presente trabalho foram usadas as seguintes metodologias: revisão bibliográfica, levantamento cartográfico e trabalho de campo.Palavras-chave: Feições graníticas; Superfícies de aplainamento; Erosão diferencial. ABSTRACTThe granitic rocks exhumation of Complexo Tamboril-Santa Quitéria, specifically, on the planing surface of Irauçuba county, Ceará, has revealed a great variety of geomorphological features that are justified by lithologic factors and evident Cenozoic climatic fluctuations, mainly, headed by mechanical morphogenesis, associated with dry climates. Residual reliefs like rocky massives, residual ridges, inselbergs and inselguebergs, slab stones and boulders in different degrees of development stand out in the middle of the lowered erosive surface, regionally known by “depressão sertaneja”. In this study, different forms of granite relief were identified, specially conditioned by subsurface erosion, controlled by geological faults and fractures, but also by regolith removal through surface erosion, plus exfoliation spheroidal events. These granitic features are fundamental in paleoclimatic evolution understanding of Irauçuba municipality. For the accomplishment of the present work the following methodology was used: bibliographical revision, cartographic survey and field work.

Применение древесины осины в промышленном производстве материалов и изделий ограничено из-за ее низких механических свойств, подверженности поражению коррозионно-деструктивной гнили, отсутствием должного обоснования технологии ее переработки. Невостребованная осина осложняет условия хозяйствования в лесу, ухудшает породный состав древостоев, препятствует восстановлению хвойных пород древесины. Древесина осины хуже смачивается водой по сравнению с другими породами. Изучение ее поверхностных свойств и строения на микроуровне представляет безусловный интерес для изучения взаимодействия древесины с водой, жидкими клеящими и защитно-декоративными веществами. Это сложная многопараметрическая задача, решение которой может явиться новым инструментом для обоснования наукоемких технологических процессов сушки, пропитки, склеивания и облагораживания древесины. Истинная поверхность древесины, образованная в результате обработки резанием (лущением, пилением, фрезерованием) значительно больше ее проекции на плоскости в результате разрезания микроструктурных элементов. Неровности на поверхности искажают результаты измерения поверхностных свойств, определяемых на основе угла смачивания. Учитывая то, что размеры стенок клеток меньше размеров полостей, истинная площадь поверхности древесины, в зависимости от вида разреза, может в десятки раз превышать кажущуюся. Ухудшение способности смачиваться объясняет образование на поверхности капель клея, нанесенного на шпон методом вальцевания. При горячем прессовании фанеры в первый момент времени повышается подвижность молекул клея, снижается упругость древесины, поверхность выравнивается, улучшая условия адгезионного взаимодействия связующего и древесины. Для определения истинных характеристик древесины, обоснования расхода клея, способности древесины поглощать жидкость необходимо знать размеры ее микроструктурных элементов и характер их распределения, объем поверхностных полостей. Эффективный радиус полостей древесины осины может быть описан с использованием теории фракталов. The use of aspen wood in manufacturing of materials and products is limited due to its low mechanical properties, corrosion susceptibility destructive lesion decay, its lack of proper justification processing technology. Unclaimed aspen difficult economic conditions in the forest, degrades the species composition of forest stands and prevents restoration of softwood. Wood aspen worse moistened with water compared to other breeds. The study of its structure and surface properties at the micro level is of great interest to study the interaction of wood with water, liquid adhesives and protective-decorative materials. This is the problem whose solution can be a new tool for the study of science-intensive technological processes of drying, impregnation, gluing and surface finishes. Real wood surface, formed by the machining (peeling, sawing, milling) significantly greater its projection on the plane as a result of cutting the microstructural elements. Surface irregularities distort the results of measurement of surface properties which are determined based on the contact angle. Given that the size of the cell walls is less than the size of the cavities, the true surface area of the veneer, depending on the type of incision, may be ten times the apparent. The deterioration of the ability of wetted explains the formation of droplets on the surface of adhesive deposited on the veneer by rolling. When plywood hot pressing at a first time increases mobility of adhesive molecules, decreases the modulus of elasticity of wood, surface is aligned, improving the conditions of interaction of the glue and the wood. To determine the true characteristics of the wood, glue flow study, the ability of wood to absorb liquid it is necessary to know the size of microstructural elements and their distribution, the amount of surface cavities. The effective radius of aspen wood cavities can be described using fractal theory.

This article describes the utilization of (methoxy)poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(1,3-trimethylene carbonate) ((m)PEG–PTMC) diblock and triblock copolymers for the formulation of in situ forming depot long-acting injectables by solvent exchange. The results shown in this manuscript demonstrate that it is possible to achieve long-term drug deliveries from suspension formulations prepared with these copolymers, with release durations up to several months in vitro. The utilization of copolymers with different PEG and PTMC molecular weights affords to modulate the release profile and duration. A pharmacokinetic study in rats with meloxicam confirmed the feasibility of achieving at least 28 days of sustained delivery by using this technology while showing good local tolerability in the subcutaneous environment. The characterization of the depots at the end of the in vivo study suggests that the rapid phase exchange upon administration and the surface erosion of the resulting depots are driving the delivery kinetics from suspension formulations. Due to the widely accepted utilization of meloxicam as an analgesic drug for animal care, the results shown in this article are of special interest for the development of veterinary products aiming at a very long-term sustained delivery of this therapeutic molecule.

Oral Dosage Forms

A lack of effective intervention in addressing patient non-adherence and the acceptability of solid oral dosage forms combined with the clinical consequences of swallowing problems in an ageing world population highlight the need for developing methods to study the swallowability of tablets. Due to the absence of suitable techniques, this study developed various in vitro analytical tools to assess physical properties governing the swallowing process of tablets by mimicking static and dynamic stages of time-independent oral transitioning events. Non-anatomical models with oral mucosa-mimicking surfaces were developed to assess the swallowability of tablets; an SLA 3D printed in vitro oral apparatus derived the coefficient of sliding friction and a friction sledge for a modified tensometer measured the shear adhesion profile. Film coat hydration and in vitro wettability was evaluated using a high-speed recording camera that provided quantitative measurements of micro-thickness changes, simulating static in vivo tablet–mucosa oral processing stages with artificial saliva. In order to ascertain the discriminatory power and validate the multianalytical framework, a range of commonly available tablet coating solutions and new compositions developed in our lab were comparatively evaluated according to a quantitative swallowability index that describes the mathematical relationship between the critical physical forces governing swallowability. This study showed that the absence of a film coat significantly impeded the ease of tablet gliding properties and formed chalky residues caused by immediate tablet surface erosion. Novel gelatin- and λ-carrageenan-based film coats exhibited an enhanced lubricity, lesser resistance to tangential motion, and reduced stickiness than polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–PEG graft copolymer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and PVA-coated tablets; however, Opadry® EZ possessed the lowest friction–adhesion profile at 1.53 a.u., with the lowest work of adhesion profile at 1.28 J/mm2. For the first time, the in vitro analytical framework in this study provides a fast, cost-effective, and repeatable swallowability ranking method to screen the in vitro swallowability of solid oral medicines in an effort to aid formulators and the pharmaceutical industry to develop easy-to-swallow formulations.
