This study focuses on the innovation of an inhaled sustained release form of insulin and the development of a neuro-fuzzy model specifically tailored to predict insulin release kinetics from polycondensed agar-carbomer hydrogels. These were synthesized by blending agar and carbomer, incorporating propylene glycol and glycerol, and then cross-linking by polycondensation. The structure and morphology of the hydrogel were analyzed Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

In this work, topical matrix patches of diclofenac sodium (DS) were formulated by the solvent casting method using different ratios of chitosan (CTS) and kappa carrageenan (KC). Propylene glycol and tween 80 were used as a plasticizer and permeation enhancer, respectively. The drug matrix film was cast on a polyvinyl alcohol backing membrane.

In the present study, we investigated the drug release behavior from cellulose derivative (CD) matrices in the oral form of tablets. We used the adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to predict the best formulation parameters to get the perfect sustained drug delivery using ibuprofen (IB) as a model drug. The different formulations were prepared with different CDs, namely CMC, HEC, HPC, HPMC, and MC.

This paper develops a primitive gas recognition system for discriminating between industrial gas species. The system under investigation consists of an array of eight micro-hotplate-based SnO2 thin film gas sensors with different selectivity patterns. The output signals are processed through a signal conditioning and analyzing system.
