African Tropical Plant Gums: Grossly Unexploited Carriers or Adjuncts in Drug Delivery Systems
No full textA volume of attention is currently being drawn to the potentials inherent in African
tropical plants as sources of bioactive substances and drug carriers as well as adjuncts in the
formulation of drug delivery systems. One group of such carriers or adjuvants consists of
polymeric plant metabolites, which can hydrate into gels or mucilages. These are generally
known as plant gums. Although gums obtained from African tropical plants have been known
for a very long time, their extraction, purification and utilization in pharmaceutical
formulations are still at rudimentary stages. There appears to be greater industrial preference
for synthetic or semi-synthetic hydrogels as vehicles, carriers and excipients in
pharmaceutical, cosmetic or food products. But because of the naturalness of biopolymers of
plant origin, with associated inertness and safety, more interest has to be shown, particularly
by the pharmaceutical industry, towards the employment of plant gums as drug carriers, or
adjuncts, in drug dosage forms. This article seeks to draw attention to some African tropical
plant gums, obtained from different plant species, which have been shown, via laboratory
studies, to exhibit potential applicability in the development of drug delivery systems.</jats:p
A 210nW BJT-based Temperature Sensor with an Inaccuracy of ±0.15°C (3s) from -15°C to 85°C
No full textThis paper presents a 210nW BJT-based temperature sensor that achieves an inaccuracy of ±0.15°C (3s) from -15°C to 85°C. A dual-mode front-end (FE), which combines a bias circuit and a BJT core, halves the power needed to generate well-defined CTAT (VBE) and PTAT (?VBE) voltages. The use of a tracking ?S ADC reduces FE signal swing and further reduces system power consumption. In a 180-nm BCD process, the prototype achieves a 15mK resolution in 50ms conversion time, translating into a state-of-the-art FoM of 2.3pJK2.

Briefing: Professor Vincent Nadin’s decade of spatial planning and strategy at TU Delft
No full textDelft University of Technology (TU Delft) is the leading institution in the Netherlands for research and education in urbanism. Planning, design and technology traditionally form the key pillars of ‘Dutch urbanism’. The year 2008 marked the beginning of a new section with a new professor at the TU Delft Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment: the section of Spatial Planning & Strategy (SPS). With the farewell to SPS professor Vincent Nadin in 2019, a huge source of expertise and inspiration for urbanism has left Delft’s academic community. Under Vincent’s leadership, SPS has strengthened its position and become a centre of excellence on (a) international and European territorial governance and policy-making, including their potential for democracy building, (b) regional design and planning, (c) contemporary methods of spatial planning, spatial planning instruments and spatial planning systems and cultures and (d) territorial evidence and impact assessment.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spatial Planning and Strateg

Patient Safety: 2nd edition
No full textWhen you are ready to implement measures to improve patient safety, this is the book to consult. Charles Vincent, one of the world's pioneers in patient safety, discusses each and every aspect clearly and compellingly. He reviews the evidence of risks and harms to patients, and he provides practical guidance on implementing safer practices in health care. The second edition puts greater emphasis on this practical side. Examples of team based initiatives show how patient safety can be improved by changing practices, both cultural and technological, throughout whole organisations. Not only does this benefit patients; it also impacts positively on health care delivery, with consequent savings in the economy. Patient Safety has been praised as a gateway to understanding the subject. This second edition is more than that - it is a revelation of the pervading influence of health care errors, and a guide to how these can be overcome. "... The beauty of this book is that it describes the complexity of patient safety in a simple coherent way and captures the breadth of issues that encompass this fascinating field. The author provides numerous ways in which the reader can take this subject further with links to the international world of patient safety and evidence based research... One of the most difficult aspects of patient safety is that of implementation of safer practices and sustained change. Charles Vincent, through this book, provides all who read it clear examples to help with these challenges" From a review in Hospital Medicine by Dr Suzette Woodward, Director of Patient Safety.

Clinical governance : the next hype?
Get PDFClinical governance is to be the main vehicle for continuously improving the quality of patient care and developing the capacity to maintain high standards. The World Health Organisation has divided the approach into four principle aspects: professional performance; resource use; risk management; patient involvement. In this article the author seeks to explain the terms and their contribution to the whole scenario of Clinical governance. An overview of the local scene in the light of these concepts is also discussed.peer-reviewe
