  2. 1. Flow and Compression of Granulated Powders : The Accuracy of Discrete Element Simulations and Assessment of Tablet Microstructure

    Author : Ann-Sofie Persson; Göran Frenning; Göran Alderborn; Marie Wahlgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Discrete Element Method; Granule; Flow; Angle of Repose; Discharge Rate; Shear; Rolling friction; Compression; Elastic deformation; Microstructure; Degree of compression; Tensile strength; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

    Abstract : Simulations are powerful and important tools for gaining insight into powder processes. Ultimately, simulations have the potential to replace experiments. Thus, accurate models and insight into the essential factors for descriptions of powder behaviour are required. READ MORE

    Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and three research papers. The subject is probability theory and in particular concerns the topics of percolation, cover times and random fractals.Paper I deals with the Poisson Boolean model in locally compact Polish metric spaces. READ MORE

  5. 3. Recursive Methods in Urn Models and First-Passage Percolation

    Author : Henrik Renlund; Sven Erick Alm; Svante Janson; John Wierman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stochastic approximation algorithm; generalized Polya urn; limit theorem; first-passage percolation; rate of percolation; time constant; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics; Matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : This PhD thesis consists of a summary and four papers which deal with stochastic approximation algorithms and first-passage percolation. Paper I deals with the a.s. limiting properties of bounded stochastic approximation algorithms in relation to the equilibrium points of the drift function. READ MORE

  6. 4. On the Structure and Dynamics of Polyelectrolyte Gel Systems and Gel-surfactant Complexes

    Author : Per Johan Råsmark; Christer Elvingson; Johan Bergenholtz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; polyelectrolyte gel; microgel; dynamic light scattering; Raman spectroscopy; periodic boundary conditions; percolation; hypersphere; Monte Carlo; Brownian dynamics; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the results of experimental work on polyelectrolyte gels and their interaction with oppositely charged surfactants, and presents two new algorithms applicable to the simulation of colloid and polymer systems.The model systems investigated were crosslinked poly(acrylate) (PA) and poly(styrene sulphonate) (PSS), and the surfactant was dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DoTAB).

  7. 5. Dissolution and Release Behavior of Swellable Matrix Tablets: Influence of the solubility and dissolution rate enhancement of model substance

    Author : Farhad Tajarobi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Tablets exhibiting extended drug release have in many therapeutical applications shown both compliance and clinical advantages. One way of achieving extended drug release from a tablet is by employing the concept of swellable matrices. READ MORE
