On-Line Blend Monitoring of Pharmaceutical Materials Using Multiple NIR Sensors

Nov 9, 2010
Benoit Igne
In recent years, powder blend monitoring and control systems using process analytical technologies (PAT) have become increasingly popular in the pharmaceutical industry. Among them, spectroscopic techniques allow for real-time evaluation of blend homogeneity and powder behaviors necessary for both...

Quantitative Modeling and Analysis of TGF-ß-Induced Erk/MAPK and Smad Signaling

Nov 9, 2010
Seung-Wook Chung
Transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß), which plays a pivotal role in regulating a wide array of cellular and physiologic processes in both normal and pathological cells, is known to function as a potent tumor suppressor during the early stage of tumorigenesis, primarily by inhibiting cell...

Implementation of a Normalization Risk Assessment Tool to Link Design Space Inputs

Nov 9, 2010
Diana S. Hou
Risk analysis and assessment tools are a key component of Quality by Design (QbD) because they facilitate understanding, identifying, and documenting of risks affecting drug product quality attributes. As stated in the ICH Q8 guidelines, the “design space” is where a process generates a product...

Design Enhancements of a High Temperature, Ceramic Micro-Channel Heat Exchanger

Nov 9, 2010
Merrill Wilson
The recent developments in the energy and process industries have lead to more efficient, higher-temperature processes and compact equipment. By using small features such as micro-channels, pin fins or plate fins the length scale for which transport occurs is minimized and thus increases the heat...

Quality by Design and Multivariate Process Representations

Nov 8, 2010
Jose Cardoso Menezes
Bioprocess design, development and manufacturing involve different goals and use different tools. At the design stage a cell-centric approach dominates. During development and especially later during manufacturing a process-centered perspective prevails as if biomanufacturing performance was...

Recent Research Development In Biomass Conversion to Advanced Bio-Fuels

Nov 8, 2010
Johnathan E. Holladay
The United States is abundant in biomass resources. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have been conducting research on conversion of biomass into chemical products and advanced fuels for several decades. In this presentation, the author will discuss significant research advancement,...
