Coriolis: The Direct Approach to Mass Flow Measurement

Coriolis meters eliminate the need to measure and correct for pressure, temperature, and density fluctuations to determine mass flowrate. Although their capital costs may be higher, they typically have a lower overall cost of ownership than other types of meters

Assess Hazards with Process Flow Failure Modes Analysis

Process flow failure modes (PFFM) analysis is an intuitive, process-flow-directed way to identify potentially hazardous scenarios. Learn how to apply this technique to your process hazard reviews.

Licensure: Toward Technical Competence and Ethical Professionalism

Licensure as a professional engineer is an investment in your future, and can be a beneficial — and even necessary — credential.

SBE Update: Drug Delivery and Chemical/Biological Engineering

Although you might not associate drug delivery with chemical engineering, the principles of chemical engineering — such as mass and energy balances, transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, and particle technology — are intimately involved in drug delivery. Biological engineers are developing new...

Introduction to Drug Delivery Technology

Drugs can be administered by many routes, yet all emerging drug delivery technologies aim to improve drug efficacy, minimize side effects, and reduce the burden of care for patients and physicians.

Engineering Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Drug and Gene Delivery

Engineered nanoparticles can deliver therapeutic agents to specifically targeted cells and then release those agents in a precisely controlled manner. Improved pharmacokinetic properties, reduced toxicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers are some of the key benefits of this approach.

The Blood-Brain Barrier and Drug Delivery

To maintain favorable conditions in the brain, the blood-brain barrier limits mass transfer across brain tissue. However, it also restricts the systemic delivery of compounds to treat neurological disorders. Several treatment alternatives to bypass the BBB and infuse pharmaceuticals at high...

Bioactive Devices: Uniting Form with Function

Bioactive implants that combine a medical device with one or more biologic therapeutic agents show promise for the targeted treatment of complex medical conditions.Implantable medical devices, such as stents, grafts, and joint replacements, are crucial in the treatment of many chronic diseases,...
