Lozenge: A solid dosage form intended to disintegrate or dissolve slowly in the mouth. Modified-Release: A descriptive term for a dosage form with an API release pattern that has been deliberately changed from that observed for the immediate-release dosage form of the same API. This term is...
Although they differ in composition, both are types of igneous rock that forms when magma cools and solidifies. Granite forms when magma with a high silica content cools slowly deep beneath Earth's surface; basalt forms when magma with a low silica content cools quickly outside of or very ...
Convection currents form in the planet's interior when rock surrounding the core heats up. Expanding and becoming less dense, the heated rock slowly rises through cooler, denser rock that surrounds it in the mantle. When it reaches the lithosphere, the heated rock moves along the lithosphere's...
when the liquid is about to drip from the percolator, close the lower orifice and allow the drug to macerate for 24 hours or for the time specified in the monograph. If no assay is directed, allow the percolation to proceed slowly, or at the specified rate, gradually adding sufficient sol...
The slowly moving convection currents are able to release their heat energy near the surface of the planet because both Earth's interior and its surface are in motion. Earth's lithosphere is not solid, but is broken into many large slabs or plates that "float" on the asthenosphere (...
This underground system of cracks and fissures may be relatively open, allowing hot water to bubble slowly and continuously to the surface. Or the system may be restricted, keeping hot water and stream under pressure until it finally spews from the surface. ...
