Authors: Nieto-Cañarte Carlos Alberto , Guamán-Sarango Víctor Manuel , Vélez-Ruiz Mayra Carolina , Alcocer-Quinteros Rubén Patricio , Sinchi-Rivas Carmen Alexandra
Published: May 2024

The canton of Quinsaloma in Los Ríos Province, Ecuador, has a population of 16,476, with 72% residing in rural areas. The current solid waste management system only involves collection, transportation, and final disposal and lacks temporary storage containers. This absence hampers proper waste disposal, with 30% of rural communities lacking collection services, leading to improper disposal methods. This study aims to assess the current state of solid waste management, improve the collection system with temporary storage containers, and suggest an optimal site for a sanitary landfill. A survey of 354 residents, with questions on demographics and waste management practices, revealed that 60.5% are unaware of proper waste handling, but 89% recognize that waste accumulation causes pests, odors, and diseases. The survey showed that plastic bags are the most common waste storage material. Quinsaloma generates 270 tons of solid waste monthly, with 80.2% of residents using the collection truck. Tukey's test indicated significant differences in responses. Data on current collection routes was gathered through daily monitoring. This led to a new proposed route with temporary storage containers, including one urban and three rural routes with morning and evening collections. Due to the lack of a local sanitary landfill, a proposal for an optimal site was developed using a multicriteria analysis with Geographic Information Systems, identifying two suitable areas of 62.39 and 255.11 hectares.

Abstract. The emergence of aerosol reanalyses in recent years has facilitated a comprehensive and systematic evaluation of aerosol optical depth (AOD) trends and attribution over multi-decadal timescales. Notable multi-year aerosol reanalyses currently available include NAAPS-RA from the US Naval Research Laboratory, the NASA MERRA-2, JRAero from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), and CAMSRA from Copernicus/ECMWF. These aerosol reanalyses are based on differing underlying meteorology models, representations of aerosol processes, as well as data assimilation methods and treatment of AOD observations. This study presents the basic verification characteristics of these four reanalyses versus both AERONET and MODIS retrievals in monthly AOD properties and identifies the strength of each reanalysis and the regions where divergence and challenges are prominent. Regions with high pollution and often mixed fine-mode and coarse-mode aerosol environments, such as South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Maritime Continent, pose significant challenges, as indicated by higher monthly AOD root mean square error. Moreover, regions that are distant from major aerosol source areas, including the polar regions and remote oceans, exhibit large relative differences in speciated AODs and fine-mode versus coarse-mode AODs among the four reanalyses. To ensure consistency across the globe, a multi-reanalysis consensus (MRC, i.e., ensemble mean) approach was developed similarly to the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction Multi-Model Ensemble (ICAP-MME). Like the ICAP-MME, while the MRC does not consistently rank first among the reanalyses for individual regions, it performs well by ranking first or second globally in AOD correlation and RMSE, making it a suitable candidate for climate studies that require robust and consistent assessments.
A collaborative approach for the identification of thermal hot-spots: from remote sensing data to urban planning interventions
Authors: Gallacher Claire , Benz Susanne , Boehnke Denise , Jehling Mathias
Published: May 2024

Abstract. This paper presents a novel methodology for enhancing urban planning in Frankfurt, Germany, through the identification of thermal hot-spots, i.e., areas of persistent high temperatures and thermal discomfort across multiple temperature parameters. Our approach integrates remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) analyses to map thermal hot-spots, thereby highlighting target areas for urban planning interventions. We assess the efficacy of using remotely sensed Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) thermal index, derived from simulations using the FITNAH model, for identifying thermal hot-spots at both the regional and city scales. Our findings highlight spatial discrepancies in hot-spot locations between LST and PET data, identifying areas where both indicators converge to signify thermal hot-spots. We explore the land cover contributing to these areas, laying the groundwork for future urban planning strategies. By incorporating visualisation tools tailored to the specific communication needs of urban planners, we provide actionable insights for developing maps which inform and guide the development of effective climate-adapted urban planning solutions.
Smart Cities: From Theory to Reality - The Athens Case
Authors: Pantazis Dimos N. , Moussas Vassilios , Daverona Anna Christina , Gourgourini Maria
Published: May 2024

Abstract. The term "smart city" has been used in many circumstances, mainly to determine the added value of the "smartness" of a city. The cities must be viable for their citizens, "green", with "empty" spaces, without traffic problems, good infrastructures etc. In addition, a city must be "smart", means providing smart data, smart infrastructures and "smart" applications to their citizens. Many academic papers and real projects have exhaustively analysed and concretised the above issues. Nevertheless, from a practical point of view, there is not a short list of factors extracted from a combination of a) theoretical definitions, b) indexing systems measuring a city’s "smartness" c) the citizens experiential needs and desires for smart applications and d) factors coming from the applications/data provided by local, national and international institutions/governments and private companies. A such integrated list may give a valuable practical level of the "smartness" degree of a city. This article is based on the extraction of the above factors which determine the level of "smartness" of a city. All those factors were applied in the city of Athens in order to determine the level of city’s "smartness".
Detecting Hull Fouling using Machine Learning Algorithms trained on Ship Propulsion Data to Improve Resource Management and Increase Environmental Benefits
Authors: Petridis Christos , Vassilakopoulos Michael
Published: May 2024

Abstract. This study aims to develop a methodology to assess hull fouling based on ship propulsion data such as speed, draft and weather related data. Hull fouling is an unavoidable phenomenon in ships and results in higher fuel consumption and the maintenance frequency has be the optimal one. Despite the fact that until now this task has primarily relied on empirical rules, it turns out that it can be improved by employing machine learning techniques. Using data from clean-hull ships, we aim to isolate and consider only the weather in this study. Our goal is to replace empirical rules with machine learning, as the vast amount of data we possess can significantly aid us in this endeavor. It ends up to be a regression problem, and therefore, we experiment with several supervised algorithms using k-fold cross validation to finally select models based on ensemble methods or artificial neural networks. We propose the potential use of MLP Regressor, Random Forest Regressor and XGB Regressor since all of them yielded very good results in terms of some performance metrics. The timely detection of hull fouling can provide substantial benefits in terms of resource management and environmental sustainability.
A Concept for 3D Geological and Urban Subsurface Modeling with a Unified Voxel Model Examined by a Case Study for the City Center of Stuttgart (Baden-Württemberg), Germany
Authors: Pusacker Klaus , Coors Volker , Eckhardt Jörg-Detlef , Rupf Isabel
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Geological data provide an essential source of information for space planning in the subsurface. Three-dimensional geological models make this information about the subsurface available for various users and use cases. There is a significant demand for subsurface information in city planning, including the modeling of buildings and infrastructures. This demand arises from the interaction between geological processes and the (potential) use of the underground. The paper introduces a concept of a voxel model that includes buildings, traffic infrastructure and the geological structure of the subsurface. The voxel modeling approach aims to provide a unified visualization of geological and urban modeling elements. Furthermore, an analysis of the interaction between buildings and their environment, characterized by geological properties, such as strength of the construction ground or hydraulic and heat conductivity should be feasible. Finally, this paper discusses the feasibility of the concept, based on a case study for the city center of Stuttgart, Germany.
Study on the effect of color space in deep multitask learning neural networks for road segmentation
Authors: Raninen Jere , Zhu Lingli , Hattula Emilia
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Precise road segmentation is an essential part of many applications related to road information extraction from remote sensing data. The effect of color space on road detection has rarely been studied. In this paper, the effects of different color spaces of aerial images and multitask learning methods were experimented on road segmentation using three deep convolutional neural networks, UNet, DenseU-Net, and RoadVecNet. The color spaces included RGB, HSV, LAB, YCbCr, and YUV. The multitask learning methods adopted in this study involved utilizing multiple inputs, and multiple outputs. Multiple inputs were aerial images from the same area with different color spaces, and multiple outputs were road segmentation and road outline segmentation. As remote sensing data, National Land Survey of Finland’s true orthophotos (from 2020), Massachusetts road imagery dataset, and Ottawa dataset were applied. Segmentation masks for National Land Survey of Finland’s true orthophotos were extracted from Digiroad vectors with road width information. Road outline masks were generated from the segmentation masks. The studied neural networks were trained with the same data, learning rate, loss function, and optimizer for each color space, and pairs of color spaces. Multiple outputs were experimented with RGB color space. The comparative analysis assessed the performance of various neural networks across different color spaces using the F1-score metric. The experimental findings indicate that the choice of color space has little influence on the results of neural networks Deep learning methods can adapt to different color spaces well. In addition, the use of sharpening and edge enhancement augmentations had a slight effect on the results.
Critical Comparative Analysis of UAS Legislative Developments
Authors: Tsotra Anastasia
Published: May 2024

Abstract. High growth and subsequent additional risks of the UAS sector have attracted the interest of various researchers and state legislation makers across the world. This article aims to review the most important, recent developments in UAS regulations of three major countries (USA, Japan, Australia) and of European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). A comparative analysis and critical thinking of six (6) factors (UAS classification, Flights over people-Crowds of people, Registration systems, UAS geographical zones, Private Data-Privacy, Law Enforcement System) are conducted, in order to define areas of improvement in the fields of UAS flight risks and safety. Our studies show that although major steps have been done forward by these regulatory frameworks, there are still deficiencies that should be overcome. Finally, we advocate some proposals that could be used in the prospective legislative amendments.
(m)App my data! Developing a Map-ability Rating and App to Rapidly Communicate Data Quality and Interoperability Potential of Open Data
Authors: Ellul Claire , Reynolds Paul , Vilardo Leonardo
Published: May 2024

Abstract. In an age of burgeoning open data sources, ranging from authoritative platforms to crowd-sourced contributions, the need for data integration is paramount - only with integrated, combined, data can today’s complex problems be addressed. However, assessing the quality of data and its potential for integration/interoperability is complex. FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and re-useable) approaches go some way to help, but most repositories still only offer text-based search results and require the user to download the data and assess its quality and fitness-for-purpose manually. This paper examines whether exploiting geospatial approaches - specifically, understanding whether a dataset can be mapped and hence integrated with other datasets - could address these issues, in particular for non-expert users. We explore challenges related to open data for education and environmental sustainability and introduce a novel, visual map-ability rating to assist data users in rapidly understanding the data quality and interoperability potential of data they wish to use. This rating system has been developed by researchers from outside the location science domain, to better reflect what is important to the wider community, and derives from a review of 104 open datasets. As well as providing useful insight to data users, the ratings can be used to guide data publishers as to how to improve their data offering.
Machine Learning Based Mobile Capacity Estimation for Roadside Parking
Authors: Kramm Aruscha , Peukert Eric , Ludwig André , Franczyk Bogdan
Published: May 2024

Abstract. The growing number of cars and limited street space present significant challenges for cities, applying not only to moving but extending to stationary traffic. The quest for parking spaces exacerbates traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution, particularly in residential areas. To develop effective parking solutions for these challenges, a trustful data foundation on available parking space capacities, its usage and parking type is crucial. Gathering this data is currently time-consuming, requiring manual labeling and street inspections. Moreover, it must be repeated to keep the data current. Research on parking space management has heavily focused on monitoring designated parking lots with fixed cameras to identify free or occupied parking spaces. However, due to privacy concerns fixed cameras are not applicable for the larger part of the street space in European cities. This paper introduces a novel computer vision-based method for automatically collecting parking space capacities and parking type information. Our approach combines both street view and aerial imagery, which are recorded by a moving camera source. We tackle challenges in geo-referencing images, identifying parking types, classifying moving and stationary cars and dealing with partial occlusions in images. By not permanently recording the same environment, our approach lowers the surveillance risk, making parking capacity estimation scalable. We conduct a thorough evaluation of our methods and release a novel validation data set to allow for further research. In the future, more moving camera sources will be available when attached to city cleaning vehicles or to delivery drones.
POI GPT: Extracting POI Information from Social Media Text Data
Authors: Kim Hyebin , Lee Sugie
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Point of Interest (POI) is an important intermediary connecting geo data and text data in smart cities, widely used to extract and identify urban functional areas. While computer uses numerical coordinates, human uses places names or addresses to find location, leading to spatial-semantic ambiguities. However, traditional methods of extracting POIs are time-consuming and costly, and has the limitation of the lack of integration of functionalities such as information extraction(IE), information searching. Also, previous models have low accessibility and high barriers for users. With the advent of Large Language Models(LLMs) we propose a method that connects LLM models and POI information based on social media text data. By employing two steps, named entities recognition(NER) and POI information searching, we introduce POI GPT, the specialized model for providing precise location of POIs in social media text data. We compared its results with those obtained by human experts, NER model and zero-shot prompts. The findings show that our model effectively found the POI and precise location from social media text data. In result, POI GPT is a effective model that solves the existing POI extraction problems. We provide new extraction technique of POI GPT which is a new paradigm in traditional urban research methodologies and be actively utilized in urban studies in the future.
Portable laser scanning solutions for 3D modelling of large buildings
Authors: Antova Gergana
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Portable laser scanning systems (PLSSs) are a developing technology that is being used more frequently in various application domains. One notable characteristic of these systems is their capacity to gather 3D data while in motion. Additionally, unlike mobile mapping systems that are mounted to vehicles, they are particularly effective at capturing detailed information in tight, interior, and restricted spaces. This article presents two typical applications of this promising technology for modelling huge buildings. The purpose is to equip readers with fundamental information and comprehension of the capabilities and obstacles associated with this technology. A comparison is made of two methods of interior spatial data collection with lidar technology - ground-based laser scanning with a Trimble TX6 and a handheld GeoSLAM ZEB Horizon device. The technological process for creating a 3D model of two large buildings for future reconstruction is described.
Towards a Conceptual Model of CityGML 3.0 Vegetation ADE
Authors: Petrova-Antonova Dessislava , Malinov Simeon , Mrosla Laura , Petrov Aleksandar
Published: May 2024

Abstract. The rapid growth of urban areas underscores the need for developing semantically rich 3D city models representing a variety of urban objects and integrating the results from the analysis and simulation of urban processes and environment. Adhering to standards such as CityGML, these 3D city models offer immense value in urban planning, development, and management. By encoding the spatial, functional, and thematic information in a standardized way, they provide a comprehensive digital representation of cities. This enables city authorities to evaluate the impact of proposed developments and thereby make informed decisions. CityGML-based city models facilitate the progression towards smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable cities by supporting interoperability across different systems and platforms. This fosters collaboration and data exchange among diverse stakeholders. This paper contributes to the development of semantically rich and interoperable 3D city models by proposing a conceptual model for Application Domain Extension (ADE) of the CityGML 3.0 Vegetation module. The ADE enhances the SolitaryVegetationObject and PlantCover feature types with additional properties by leveraging the new “hook” mechanism available in CityGML 3.0. Furthermore, it considers the dynamics of vegetation in terms of growth and management through modelling of dynamic data based on the Dynamizer module. Additionally, new data types, code lists and enumerations appropriate to the ADE domain are defined, providing a unified description of the vegetation’s specific characteristics that are comprehensive across different platforms and disciplines. The Vegetation ADE’ conceptual model opens several avenues for future research, including development of more accurate vegetation simulations and analyses, investigation of urban heat island effect or environmental impact assessments.
Urban Digital Twins Empowering Energy Transition: Citizen-Driven Sustainable Urban Transformation towards Positive Energy Districts
Authors: Coors Volker , Padsala Rushikesh
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Both citizens and authorities play a crucial role in the successful implementation of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). However, the current public participation methods often fail to facilitate interactive knowledge production in the context of energy flexibilisation and PEDs for the citizens. To close this gap, the DigiTwins4PEDs project will use an innovative public participation process and further develop energy simulation tools using urban digital twins. These tools could address issues such as energy flexibility strategies, including demand-side management, sector coupling, and energy storage options, among others. To support the public participation process, the urban digital twin platform will be integrated into a living lab concept and implemented in different case study regions to co-design energy flexibilisation strategies with citizens. The ultimate goal is to deliver a best-practice catalogue and an action plan for other cities to implement a community-driven transition to PEDs.
Quantum Sensing for the Cities of the Future
Authors: Kantsepolsky Boris , Aviv Itzhak
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Quantum sensing technologies provide future cities with unimaginable techniques for solving their complex problems. Quantum sensors, through the utilization of quantum effects such as superposition, entanglement, and tunneling, can provide an unmatched level of sensitivity, precision, and durability against traditional sensing technologies. This study explores the potential applications of quantum sensing in four critical urban infrastructure domains: water, energy, transport, and construction. Throughout this study, we determine the most promising quantum sensing technologies for each domain. Besides, we discuss the technical progress of these sensors and the advantages they have in comparison with classical devices, as well as the organizational issues cities can face when implementing these sensors. Our results indicate that quantum sensing will be a critical enabler of future smart cities, generating advanced monitoring, control, and decision-making capabilities across various sectors. Nevertheless, taking advantage of this potential will demand the close partnership of cities, industry, academia, and policymakers to guide the complicated adoption process.

Usaha mikro kecil dan menengah memiliki peran dalam mempertahankan roda perekonomian nasional.Branding merupakan istilah dari sebuah nama, symbol dan perancangan sebuah desain pada produk. UMKM harus berinovasi agar dapat bersaing secara global. UMKM di Desa Cisolok memiliki berbagai latar belakang usaha baik kuliner, produk dan kerajinan. Berdasarkan hasil survey yang telah dilakukan salah satu masalah yang dialami oleh mayoritas UMKM di Desa Cisolok adalah kurang memahami branding sebagai fungsi untuk menjaga sustainability usahanya. Kebanyakan para pelaku UMKM masih berfokus pada trading dan melupakan sisi branding. Hal ini dapat disebabkan karena ketidaktahuan, ego, atau sifat tertutup mereka atas ide baru, dan merasa cepat puas. Oleh karena itu sangat masuk akal untuk kita pahami bahwa branding bukan hanya membuat target pemasaran kita memilih kita di dalam pasar yang penuh kompetensi ini tetapi juga membuat prospek-prospek pemasaran kita melihat kita sebagai satu-satunya yang dapat memberikansolusi kepada kebutuhan ataupun masalah mereka.
The Effects of COVID-19 on the Textile and Apparel Value Chain
Authors: Street Paige , Bolger Sarah , Payne Alice , Boersma Martijn , Coneybeer Justine , Josserand Emmanuel , Kaine Sarah , O'Brien Erin , Maguire Rowena , Rissanen Timo
Published: May 2024

This paper reports on the impacts of COVID-19 on the textile and apparel value chain. It is part of the ‘Strategies for improving labour condition within the Australian cotton value chain’ project funded by the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC). Australian cotton is part of a long and complicated chain of networked actors who make up the global textile and apparel industry. The fibre is primarily sent to offshore facilities in the Global South for textile and garment production. From here, it is embedded in a value chain that is labour-intensive, exploitative and difficult to monitor.
This research investigates how the Australian cotton industry can influence working conditions along the textile and apparel value chain and mitigate the risk of labour abuses occurring downstream (Boersma et al., 2022). This represents a novel approach to a well-known problem. This paper reports on some of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on garment workers worldwide to present the opportunity for ‘downstream due diligence’. The findings spotlight the need for stakeholders throughout the value chain to work collaboratively to protect worker well-being. As is argued, a wider network of actors both ‘in’ and ‘out’ of the fashion industry needs to be involved in collaborative, multi- stakeholder organising to appropriately respond to injustice in the value chain.
Improving mobilisation of anti-slavery activism through Facebook communications
Authors: Newton Judith , O'Brien Erin
Published: May 2024

Anti-slavery organisations utilise social media, particularly Facebook, to raise awareness of the problem of modern slavery and build support for efforts to combat this persistent human rights abuse. This research identifies the three significant obstacles organisations face when trying to engage and mobilise individuals to participate in antislavery activism. The organisations’ perceived credibility with Facebook users, the alignment of content to Facebook users’ information needs and the style of the posts influence how individuals engage with and act on the post content. This research finds that to encourage increased participation and interest in the modern slavery cause, anti-slavery organisations must enlist strategies to build their reputation and credibility with Facebook users and provide information to direct active participation in the cause at the individual and collective levels.
Transcorporeal Technobodies, Sensory Organisms: Recovering Nature in Trans Poetics
Authors: Gannholm Siri
Published: May 2024

Under the dominant nature-human binary, trans individuals are rejected from both categories on the grounds of their technologized embodiment. Contemporary trans poetic works, including Jos Charles’ Feeld, reject this dualism through its poetic form and Middle English dialect in order to recover access to both nature and the body. Taking a multidisciplinary approach across trans, ecological, and media theory, with particular attention to the subfields of transecology and somatechnics, this paper argues that technology and nature are compatible, not mutually exclusive. Feeld—which embraces a “natural,” embodying technology—is set in stark contrast with Titane, a recent horror film that manifests the violence inherent in “unnatural” technology. A varied approach of textual analysis and applied theoretical frameworks draws on Stryker, Butler, Haraway, and Kristeva, among others. A trans ethic emerges as an urgent and imperative path to recovering the body alongside the label of naturalness.

By using glass powder instead of cement, glass waste will become a new alternative for the construction industry and a solution to the problem of excess waste. Since glass is resistant to weather and chemical substances that resemble cement or can bond, glass waste can be used as a concrete filler. In this study, a quantitative method was used, with 12 samples having variations of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. The variables measured were the compressive strength of concrete at 28 days of age and smoothness, while the controlled variable was the use of glass powder as a substitute for binder. In this study, variations of glass powder replacement of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of the binder weight were used. The results showed that 0% (617mm)c, 5% (620mm), 10% (628mm) and 15% (644mm) had an influence on the slump flow of fresh concrete. The results of testing the compressive strength of 28-day-old concrete obtained consecutive results of 41.86 Mpa, 48.55 Mpa, 38.84 Mpa, and 35.64 Mpa. The results show that 5% replacement has a higher compressive strength. In addition, the use of glass powder as a substitute increases the flow velocity of SCC concrete proportionally with the percentage of replacement. However, other factors should be considered.

The organic dye pollution has become increasingly serious in recent years and removal of organic dyes from the water samples has received intense attention. In present work the acid modified purple knight (Alternanthera dentata) leaves powder (MALP) is used as an adsorbent in order to remove sodium 4-[(4-dimethylaamino) phenyldiazenyl) benzene sulphonate (methyl orange dye) from an aqueous solution. The absence of stretching vibrations (1008cm-1 , 1400cm-1,1600cm-1 and 3184cm-1) of characteristic functional groups of modified purple knight plant in FTIR-analysis, as well as a significant decrease in the lambda max value from 600 to 420 in the electronic study, indicate that the texture of the purple knight (Alternanthera dentata) leaf is changed. The influences of pH and contact time on adsorption is also investigated at the actual experimental conditions as pH range of 2-4.5, a methyl orange concentration of 0.1M, and contact time of 5-60 minutes at 26 oC. Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models accurately described the kinetics experimental data for various solutions. The kinetic results indicate that adsorption process occurs in two or more steps. The adsorption models such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)and Dubinin –Radusshkevich (D-R) are used to explain adsorption process at different temperatures ranging from 26 to 60 oC . In comparison to others adsorption models, equilibrium data at 26oC provide clear information about the regression coefficient, adsorption capacity, (RL= 0 to 1) and Freundlich constant (1/n andlt;1). These values indicate Langmuir, and Freundlich models fit very well, while other fit at andgt;26 oC. Values for the free energy change, enthalpy change, and entropy change indicate that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. The negative value of ΔGo at different temperatures indicate that at low temperatures, physical adsorption occurs, whereas at higher temperatures, its value become more negative and chemisorption occurs, revealing the orbital interaction between adsorbate and adsorbent molecules.
A Review on Floating Microsphere

The purpose of floating microsphere's is to improve gastric retention time. The Floating drug delivery systems are lower in the bulk thickness than the gastric juice and remain floating on gastric juice for long period of time without impacting gastric-emptying rate and increasing the bioavailability. The Gastro-retentive microspheres can particularly suitable for continuous and late release of the oral formulations with blending versatility to achieve the various release patterns, low dose risk as the reproducible and short gastric retention time. Ths gastric emptying is a complex process, one that is very highly variable and it makes in vivo performance of the drug delivery systems uncertain. The controlled drug delivery system with prolonged residence time in stomach can be of great practical importance for the drugs with absorption window in upper small intestine. The main limitations can attributed to inter- and intra-subject variability of the gastro intestinal (GI) transit time and to non-uniformity of the drug absorption throughout the alimentary canal. The floating or hydro dynamically controlled drug delivery systems are useful in such applications. Various gastro retentive dosage forms are available, including tablets, pills, laminated films, floating microspheres, capsules, granules and the powders. The floating microspheres (Hollow Microspheres) are the gastro-retentive drug delivery systems based on non-effervescent approach. Hollow microspheres are in strict sense, spherical empty particles without core, free flowing powders consisting of proteins or synthetic polymers, ideally having a size in the range 1-1000 micro meter. Gastro-retentive floating microspheres are low-density systems that have sufficient buoyancy to float over gastric contents and remain in stomach for prolonged period. The drug is released slowly at desired rate resulting in increased gastric retention with reduced fluctuations in plasma drug concentration.
