Comparative evaluation of porous silica based
carriers for lipids and liquid drug formulations

Published: January 2015

Abstract
Conversion of liquid and semisolid lipids into
free flowing powders is an advantageous technique, as
the carriers display high surface area, strong adsorption
capacity, ease of processing, and ability to generate lipid
loaded free flowing powders which can be converted to
solid dosage forms like tablets and capsules. A combination
of density, adsorption capacity and desorption is
found to be of importance in the selection of the right
adsorbent. Adsorbents like magnesium aluminium silicates
(MAS), granulated fumed silica (GFS) and mesoporous
silica gel (MSG) were characterized by flow property
measurements, particle size, scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) and pore structure by mercury (Hg) intrusion
study. SEM results reveal adsorbent morphology,
whereas an intrusion-extrusion study reveal pore size distributions.
Tablets and capsules of oil loaded adsorbents
were prepared by conventional methods. Oil loaded adsorbents
were evaluated for the ability to convert oil into
powder, easy of processing into tablets and capsules, and
release of the loaded oil (Vitamin E) or active (Glyburide).
All adsorbents possess good flow property while MSG has
higher density than GFS and MAS. This helps to deliver
maximum active per unit volume. A wider pore size distribution
of MAS was observed in comparison to MSG and
GFS. MAS exhibited poor oil release from powder and its
formulations, whereas GFS demonstrated closely similar
release to MSG. Maximum 70% oil loaded MSG can be delivered
in tablet dosage form andMSG can deliver the highest
amount in limited volume capsules due to its high density.
Hence, lower density and poor oil release from MAS
limit its applications in solid oral drug delivery,while both
MSG and GFS proved to be suitable.

Published: January 2015

OBJECT
Long-term memory deficits occur after mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs), and effective treatment modalities are currently unavailable. Cerebrolysin, a peptide preparation mimicking the action of neurotrophic factors, has beneficial effects on neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries. The present study investigated the long-term effects of Cerebrolysin treatment on cognitive function in rats after mTBI.

METHODS
Rats subjected to closed-head mTBI were treated with saline (n = 11) or Cerebrolysin (2.5 ml/kg, n = 11) starting 24 hours after injury and then daily for 28 days. Sham animals underwent surgery without injury (n = 8). To evaluate cognitive function, the modified Morris water maze (MWM) test and a social odor–based novelty recognition task were performed after mTBI. All rats were killed on Day 90 after mTBI, and brain sections were immunostained for histological analyses of amyloid precursor protein (APP), astrogliosis, neuroblasts, and neurogenesis.

RESULTS
Mild TBI caused long-lasting cognitive memory deficits in the MWM and social odor recognition tests up to 90 days after injury. Compared with saline treatment, Cerebrolysin treatment significantly improved both long-term spatial learning and memory in the MWM test and nonspatial recognition memory in the social odor recognition task up to 90 days after mTBI (p < 0.05). Cerebrolysin significantly increased the number of neuroblasts and promoted neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, and it reduced APP levels and astrogliosis in the corpus callosum, cortex, dentate gyrus, CA1, and CA3 regions (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS
These results indicate that Cerebrolysin treatment of mTBI improves long-term cognitive function, and this improvement may be partially related to decreased brain APP accumulation and astrogliosis as well as increased neuroblasts and neurogenesis.

Published: January 2015

• Premise of the study: Comparative phylogeography of intercontinental disjunct taxa allowed us not only to elucidate their diversification and evolution following geographic isolation, but also to understand the effect of climatic and geological histories on the evolutionary processes of closely related species. A phylogeographic analysis was conducted on the eastern Asian‐North American disjunct genus Zizania to compare intracontinental phylogeographic patterns between different continents.• Methods: Surveys were conducted of 514 individuals using three chloroplast DNA fragments and three nuclear microsatellite loci. These individuals included 246 from 45 populations of Zizania latifolia in eastern Asia, and the following from North America: 154 individuals from 26 populations of Z. aquatica, 84 individuals from 14 populations of Z. palustris, and 30 individuals from one population of Z. texana.• Key results: The genetic diversity of North American Zizania was significantly higher than that of eastern Asian Zizania. High levels of genetic differentiation among populations and no signal of population expansion were detected in three widespread species. No phylogeographic structure was observed in Z. latifolia, and discordant patterns of cpDNA and microsatellite markers were observed in North American Zizania.• Conclusions: Reduced variation in Zizania latifolia likely reflects its perennial life history, the North American origin of Zizania, and the relative homogeneity of aquatic environments. High levels of genetic differentiation suggest limited dispersal among populations in all Zizania species. The more complex patterns of diversification and evolution in North American Zizania may be driven by the greater impact of glaciation in North America relative to eastern Asia.
The question of objectivity, its implications for the social sciences in the era of postmodernism: Africa in perspective
Authors: Atabor AA 
Published: January 2015

This paper problematizes the question of objectivity as it pertains to the social sciences. The paper accentuates the difficulty with postmodernism which tries to deny the possibility of objective truth in the social sciences. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to evaluate the postmodernists’ quest for relativity and subjectivity of truth and to expose whether objectivity is attainable in the social sciences in the same way it is attainable in the natural sciences. This paper upholds that objectivity in the social science is important in working out a holistic global ideology, and since this global ideology hopes to provide for and project justice and respect for persons and communities as well as provide a basis for the minimizing and resolving of conflicts locally and internationally, Africa can on this grounds dare to be part of this global project without fear of playing a “western script” called globalization.Keywords: Modernism, postmodernism, Social Science, Hermeneutics, Objectivity
Can Africana women truly embrace ecological feminism?
Authors: Mangena F 
Published: January 2015

My starting point in this essay is that, if it can be ascertained that there is something called Black African feminism (which represents the interests of some Black African women) as claimed by feminists and other like-minded African women, then the existence of Black African ecological feminism should be a matter of deduction. In this essay, I interrogate this position using Karen Warren’s version of ecological feminism which holds that there are important historical and conceptual connections between the domination of women in society and the domination of nature. This interrogation also prompts me to trace the history of traditional feminism with a view to showing that while, in the West, there could be important connections – historical, symbolic and theoretical between the oppression of women and the cruel treatment of nature, the same cannot be said of Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa where nature is owned or guarded by the spirit world. Using the Africana womanist perspective and the deductive method in philosophy, I argue that traditional feminism together with Warren’s ecological feminism completely ignore the experiences and aspirations of Black African women, thereby ruling out the possibility of the existence – in the truest sense – of both Black African feminism and Black African ecological feminism.Keywords: Ecological feminism, Feminism, Oppression, Patriarchal Conceptual Framework, Deductive Logic, Validity, Africana Womanism

Arte y expresión en el pensamiento de E. H. Gombrich.
Authors: Castiñeyra Fernández Patricia 
Published: January 2015

El siguiente trabajo hace un recorrido a través de las principales ideas que el gran historiador del arte, E. H. Gombrich, ha creado sobre la teoría de la expresión artística. Teniendo siempre en cuenta la formación e influencias de este autor, entre las que se encuentran la Escuela de Viena, Karl Popper o Ernst Kris, reuniremos las ideas que encontramos dispersas entre sus diversas obras y artículos que tienen que ver con la representación de las emociones o la percepción de la expresión. Su teoría estará basada en las “Cuatro Teorías de la Expresión Artística”, especialmente en la cuarta, que está ideada por él mismo y es un punto intermedio entre las anteriores, donde el artista se convierte en el protagonista.
The following work looks through the main ideas that the great art historian, Ernst H. Gombrich created about the theory of artistic expression. Having always in mind his formation and influences, as the School of Vienna, Karl Popper and Ernst Kris, we will gather the ideas scattered among several of his books and articles in relation to the representation of emotions or the reception of the expression. His theory is based on the so-called “Four Theories of Artistic Expression”, particularly in the fourth one, which had been created by himself and that is a middle point between the three previous ones, where the artist becomes the main character of the art and the artistic expression.

Quadrilateral mesh fitting that preserves sharp features based on multi-normals for Laplacian energy
Authors: Imai Yusuke , Hiraoka Hiroyuki , Kawaharada Hiroshi 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Because the cost of performance testing using actual products is expensive, manufacturers use lower-cost computer-aided design simulations for this function. In this paper, we propose using hexahedral meshes, which are more accurate than tetrahedral meshes, for finite element analysis. We propose automatic hexahedral mesh generation with sharp features to precisely represent the corresponding features of a target shape. Our hexahedral mesh is generated using a voxel-based algorithm. In our previous works, we fit the surface of the voxels to the target surface using Laplacian energy minimization. We used normal vectors in the fitting to preserve sharp features. However, this method could not represent concave sharp features precisely. In this proposal, we improve our previous Laplacian energy minimization by adding a term that depends on multi-normal vectors instead of using normal vectors. Furthermore, we accentuate a convex/concave surface subset to represent concave sharp features.
Direct construction of a four-dimensional mesh model from a three-dimensional object with continuous rigid body movement

Published: January 2015

Abstract
In the field of design and manufacturing, there are many problems with managing dynamic states of three-dimensional (3D) objects. In order to solve these problems, the four-dimensional (4D) mesh model and its modeling system have been proposed. The 4D mesh model is defined as a 4D object model that is bounded by tetrahedral cells, and can represent spatio-temporal changes of a 3D object continuously. The 4D mesh model helps to solve dynamic problems of 3D models as geometric problems. However, the construction of the 4D mesh model is limited on the time-series 3D voxel data based method. This method is memory-hogging and requires much computing time. In this research, we propose a new method of constructing the 4D mesh model that derives from the 3D mesh model with continuous rigid body movement. This method is realized by making a swept shape of a 3D mesh model in the fourth dimension and its tetrahe-dralization. Here, the rigid body movement is a screwed movement, which is a combination of translational and rotational movement.
