Talk:Time release technology

message: Welcome to the talk page of Sustained Release.--Delma1 12:06, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Talk Page 

message: How finely can the release be controlled? Say, if I wanted a drug to be released only after eight hours, what would be the variance in the actual release time? Thanks. --Amit 12:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Time control question 

message: Sustained release is not the same as controlled release. Controlled means that the drug level is controlled - it can be pulsating etc.  Sustained means that the drug is delievered for prolonged times (which can mean hours to months). I found a definition which I felt was more accurate than the statement in the article that states that the release rate has zero order kinetics (I challenge that statement!). Controlled release: Delivery of an agent at a controlled rate for an extended time. A controlled rate is not necessarily constant which is zero order.
Controlled release covers other factors than time.  For example pH - for Enteric Coatings, that protect protein molecules in the low pH of the stomach, then release them in the higher pH of the duodenum.   Or vaginal pessaries or deposits, which control release to specific phases of the menstrual cycle.
Second, the article basically covers only conventional methods and drugs - not included is, e.g., micro- and nanosphere formulation with biocompatible polymers which is important for the delivery of many biodrugs (e.g., proteins).
When I have the time I include something here. I own many images of release formulations, such as micro- and nanospheres.

Talk:Enigma (novel)

message: Although I can see Wigram pretending to hunt for Claire, to preserve her secret, and even keeping her "dead" if she was no longer useful, I don't see why he lied to Tom about the importance of Tom in tracing the traitor.
Though - Leveret is Wigram's right hand man in the latter part of the novel - could Wigram have been involved in bringing Tom back to Bletchley ? -- Beardo 05:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: >>>> Confronted with the forms Claire reacts in an emotionally wounded manner, which also signals the end of Jericho's romance with her. <<<<
Not so. The end of the romance comes when Claire finds the cheque that Jericho received from Churchill (for cracking Enigma), and he refuses to tell her why he has it (because of the Official Secrets Act). Jericho doesn't find the hidden signals until later, after he has returned from his recovery in Cambridge and Claire has already disappeared.

Talk:Peter Samson

message: In the Computer History Museum video celebrating the PDP-1 restoration, there is a mention of T-Square possibly being the "first electronic drafting" program, and that it used the Spacewar! controllers. Spacewar! apparently first ran in February 1962. In his MIT PhD thesis published in 1963, Ivan Sutherland explains he completed an early version of Sketchpad that could draw parallel and perpendicular lines in November 1961. Sutherland goes on to say, "Somewhat before my first effort was working, Welden Clark of Bolt, Beranek and Newman..." showed him a "similar program" running on a PDP-1. It would be interesting to know what program that was. --Susanlesch 17:17, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Black Christmas bushfires

message: A few issues here,
what is the source on the name "black christmas". I have never heard anyone refer to it as black christmas, not even the media.
It is good however to name these things properly before something stupid becomes popular, so I question the term "black christmas"
christmas obviously because it was the 25th of december, but black? was the smoke in sydney black? bushfire smoke carried over distance is grey in colour, tending blue-grey, and can be orange/yellow/red if fire is present beneath the smoke, but I've never seen black bushfire smoke, only when it burns structures, and even then the black is difused by the natural greyish colour.
Consider revising the name.
Perhaps something like "grey christmas", or something more descriptive and apropriate like: "2001/2002 NWS Bushfire season" or "2001 NSW bushfires". Nick carson 12:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, I had never heard of "Black Christmas" before. I'm currently trying to standardise the names of Australian bushfire articles. If there is a "notorious" name such as "Black Sunday", "Ash Wednesday", I think that's a pretty obvious name, but what about this one where there are multiple fire fronts and no obvious over-arching name? What about Warragamba Bushfires (2001)?--Yeti Hunter (talk) 07:56, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Spud bar

message: This article is not about a particular tool — it's about a class of tools. "Spud bar" is just one of many variants of such tools. Tools of this class are generally intended for, and usually used for digging. In fact, the generic name for tools of this class is "digging bar".

message: On the "Sample Algorithm", an instruction is ambiguous:
"Check all cells in each list for the following two conditions:
If the cell is a wall, remove it from the list
If there is an element in the main list with the same coordinate and an equal or higher counter, remove it from the list"
The "remove it from the list" part, "it" may refer to the main list element, or the temporary list element.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.3.108.197 (talk) 17:19, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I had to think about this too — it should be made clearer. "it" refers to the temporary list element. The point of this step in the algorithm (step 2.2) is to stop backtracking. For example, during turn two, the element (3,8,2), which is the finish coordinate, will be added to the temporary list because it's adjacent to (2,8,1). But the main list already contains (3,8,0), so (3,8,2) needs to be removed from the temporary list. Scrpy (talk) 13:50, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Mathew Hale (bishop)

message: Bishop made an announcement which was reported in the West Australian on 22 July 1884 that he intends to retire as Bishop of Perth on 31st March 1885, this announcement conflicts with the article which says he retired as Bishop of Perth in 1875. Gnangarra 07:42, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  retirement 

message: The Following Information was included in the article and is being moved here:
Some Items for Research
1. It has been claimed that Mathew Hale attended Katharine Lady Berkerley School, the oldest Grammar School in England, at Wotten-under-Edge but no specific evidence for this has been found. However, members of his family became involved with the governing of this school from c.1830 and Hale himself taught there when he was curate at Wotten-under-Edge. See Gourlay, M. 2015 The Good Bishop - The story of Mathew Hale p.156, note 17.
2. There is no direct evidence of Hale being influenced by Charles Simeon but his close friend Harold Browne was and Hale’s beliefs and practices are consistent with Simeon’s. See Gourlay 2015, pp. 9, 114-115.
3. A Richard Blagden Hale emigrated to South Australia in 1838 in the Lord Gooderich and was a customs officer at Port Adelaide. It has been claimed (Wikipedia Mathew Hale (bishop) accessed 5 July 2017) that this was an elder brother of Mathew. However, John Richard Blagden Hale (b1809 - d 13 Oct 1864) enlisted as a SubLieutenant in the first Regiment of Life Guards on 7 June 1831. He later was serving in India in the 1850s where he was wounded and decorated for service in the relief of Lucknow. He retired with the rank of Colonel. His location in 1838 is currently unknown.
4. It has been stated that “In 1855 he (Mathew Hale) returned to England without his family.”  (Wikipedia Mathew Hale (bishop) accessed 5 July 2017) Evidence for this trip is lacking. However, he did make a trip to England without his family leaving Perth in December 1858, returning there in 1860 with his family who had accompanied him on his earlier trip to England in 1857. See Gourlay 2015, pp. 39-40, 124-125.
5.  Hale departed from Sydney on 2 May 1885 in Thames bound for England via Colombo. He arrived in London on 14 July in Tehran. Where did he change ships and why did the voyage take more than ten weeks rather than the usual six weeks?
