An Experimental Analysis Using P-S-M Approach for Edge Detection of Color Images
Abstract: Abstract Edges of an image can be represented by using various edge detectors with different approaches. Edge detection is a very fundamental part in image processing and computer vision. In this paper, an emerging edge detection approach which computes edges of different images using the programmatic combination of Prewitt-Sobel-Morphological (PSM) edge detectors is presented. This approach can be used as framework for multi-scale edge detectors for a very wide range …

Statistical and Artificial Neural Network for the Determination of Thermo-Physical Properties of Fomoditine Drug Using Mixed Hydrotropy
Abstract: The experimental determination of thermo-physical properties of fomoditine drug–mixed hydrotrope concentration mixture is very time consuming as well as tedious process. Any tool helpful in estimation of these properties without experimentation can be of immense utility. In present work, other tools of determination of properties of fomoditine drug–mixed hydrotrope concentration blends were tried. A traditional statistical technique of linear regression (principle of least squares) was used to estimate the specific …

Solubility Enhancement of Theophylline Drug Using Mixed Solvency Approach
Abstract: “Solubility enhancement” is one of the difficult tasks that have become a great challenge in formulation development of orally administered drugs having poor aqueous solubility. Poor aqueous solubility of drugs creates significant problems in producing formulations of sufficiently high bioavailability, thereby preventing the effective usage of these drugs. With the introduction of the concept of “mixed-solvency,” it is feasible to increase the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs in aqueous solutions …
