Calcium phosphate bioceramic materials has been widely used in medical field due to their compounds which have similarities with natural bone and teeth. Despite of these materials, silica was introduced in order to improve bioactivity level of the material. In this paper, biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) was synthesized using calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)­2) and orthophosphoric acid (H­3PO­4) as chemical precursors at Ca/P ratio 1.60 via wet chemical technique. Additionally silicon dioxide (SiO2) at 3 and 5 wt% was added into the mixture before proceeding with spray drying process. Apatite powder obtained after spray drying process was pressed into discs and sintered at 950oC to obtain biphasic mixture. Sintered Si-BCP discs were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for predetermined time. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images revealed that dissolution and precipitation of Si-BCP with 5% Si content occurred at day 3, while BCP without Si addition started at day 21. Formation of apatite crystal was observed on the surface of the samples. Due to this, Si-BCP has potential to be developed for quick healing medical application.

We have employed cryoelectron microscopy to visualize events that occur during the freeze-drying of artificial membranes by employing real time video capture techniques. Artificial membranes or liposomes which are spherical structures within internal aqueous space are stabilized by water which provides the driving force for spontaneous self-assembly of these structures. Previous assays of damage to these structures which are induced by freeze drying reveal that the two principal deleterious events that occur are 1) fusion of liposomes and 2) leakage of contents trapped within the liposome [1]. In the past the only way to access these events was to examine the liposomes following the dehydration event. This technique allows the event to be monitored in real time as the liposomes destabilize and as water is sublimed at cryo temperatures in the vacuum of the microscope. The method by which liposomes are compromised by freeze-drying are largely unknown. This technique has shown that cryo-protectants such as glycerol and carbohydrates are able to maintain liposomal structure throughout the drying process.

The purpose of the study are to (1) review the main problems faced by the factory of Kepuruk Manunggal Karsa (MK), and (2) assessing the entrepreneur attempts to be able to solve the problems faced. The research was carried out using qualitative descriptive design. The results showed that (1) the lack of supply of raw materials as a result of lack of capital. Sequel is due, the difficulty of the plant to meet consumer demand (excess demand). (2), the system of capital used is circulating capital (capital turnover). Earned income used up to finance the operation of the plant. (3) Innovation has been done in the form of deal with bad weather (rain) as an effort of crackers drying process is by using the oven. (4) There has been no cooperation with financial institutions. (5) There is no organizational structure as a modern factory for traditionally managed by family management. (6) Marketing using modes of transportation carts and motor vehicles.

The mathematical model of wood drying based on detailed transport phenomena considering both heat and moisture transfer have been offered in article. The adjustment of this model to the drying process of papermaking is carried out for the range of moisture content corresponding to the period of drying in which vapour movement and bound water diffusion in the web are possible. By averaging as the desired models are obtained sequence of the initial value problems for systems of two nonlinear first order ordinary differential equations.
