The chemical compositions of the pore solution expressed from commercial calcium sulfoaluminate-belite cement paste at selected intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days, cured at 20°C, have been determined. pH was measured in the range 12-8-131; changes in concentrations of Na, K, Ca, Al, Si, CI, Br and SO/ -were determined between 1 and 60 days of curing. The main components in the pore solution were Al and K: Na, Ca, CI, Br and S0 4 2 -concentrations were low, and the Si concentration was below the detection limit. Potassium is slowly sorbed by the solids, and its concentration passes through a maximum at ~ 3 days.
Mathematical models of the drug release have been used in the drug delivery (DD) field for more than 50 years by the scientists in the drug development process. These models not only help scientists to learn the dynamics of the drugs release, but also help them to save money and time by helping to design more effective experiments. There is no model in the literature that covers all drug release scenarios. Also, some system-specific models have complex mathematical equations and these models are not suitable for general use. Zero Order Model, First Order Model, Higuchi Model, Peppas Model and Hixon Crowell Model are used in 85% of drug release studies in total. The popularity of these models comes from their simplicity, easy mathematical expressions and implementation. In this review, mathematical derivations of these five models are shown in detail. The points to be considered during the derivation and the problems that may be encountered are carefully explained along with their solutions. In addition, the application of the models to drug release data and the points to be considered were obtained by writing from the scratch without using any ready software while obtaining the fit function. In this way, many problems are better understood, and their solutions are explained. Finally, the obtained fit functions are interpreted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
