7.limit test for arsenic
This document describes the Gutzeit test for detecting arsenic. The test works by first converting any arsenic in a sample into arsenious acid, then reducing it to arsine gas. Mercuric chloride paper placed in the apparatus will turn yellow if arsine gas is present, indicating the presence of arsenic in the original sample. The document provides details of the test apparatus, reagents used, procedure, and precautions to get accurate results and avoid contamination.
Limit test
Limit tests are quantitative or semi-quantitative tests used to detect and limit small amounts of impurities in substances. They involve comparing the color or turbidity produced by the sample to a standard with a known concentration of impurities. Common limit tests include those for chlorides, sulfates, iron, heavy metals, and arsenic. These tests use chemical reactions to form precipitates or colors whose intensity indicates the concentration of impurities, allowing comparison to a standardized level. Limit tests provide a simple way to check if levels of harmful impurities meet defined specifications.
Alcohol content
This document describes two methods for determining the alcoholic content of gelanicals: distillation and chromatography. The distillation method involves diluting samples with water if over 50% alcohol by volume, then distilling and measuring the specific gravity or refractive index of the distillate to find the alcohol percentage using tables. Special treatments may be needed for volatile substances, glycerin, or iodine. Precautions like filtering distillates and avoiding foaming are also described.
Isotonic solutions
1) Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as body fluids like blood and prevent cell shrinkage or swelling when in contact with tissues. Physiological saline (0.9% NaCl solution) is isotonic with blood.
2) Hypertonic solutions have a higher osmotic pressure than body fluids, causing cell shrinkage through osmosis. Hypotonic solutions have a lower osmotic pressure, causing cell swelling through osmosis.
3) The tonicity of solutions can be determined using the haemolytic or colligative property methods. The haemolytic method observes cell changes, while the colligative method calculates tonicity based on properties like freezing point depression.
Introduction to liniment and turpentine liniment
The document provides instructions for preparing a 30 mL liniment of turpentine by first making an emulsion of soft soap, turpentine oil, and camphor and then adding water to reach the final volume, to be used externally for conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, and nerve pain by counterirritant and irritant mechanisms of the ingredients. Key ingredients in the liniment include soft soap as an emulsifying agent, turpentine oil and camphor as rubefacients and counterirritants, and the liniment is applied topically with gentle rubbing to provide relief from deep-seated pain.
Pharmaceutical incompatibilities by monia jannatul kubra
Physical incompatibility occurs when two or more substances are combined and a physical change takes place, such as immiscibility, insolubility, or precipitation. Chemical incompatibility happens when agents react chemically when mixed, through processes like oxidation, reduction, acid-base reactions, hydrolysis, or combination reactions. Therapeutic incompatibility is when certain drugs are prescribed with the intention of a specific effect, but a different effect is produced, potentially due to overdose, improper dosage, contraindicated drugs, or synergistic/antagonistic interactions.
Levigation & trituration
This document discusses levigation, which is defined as a process of reducing the particle size of a solid by grinding it in a mortar with a small amount of a non-solvent liquid. The liquid used is called the levigation agent and helps incorporate the solid and produce a smoother paste. On a small scale, levigation is done with a pestle and mortar. Industrially, an edge runner mill is used where the solid is suspended in liquid and particles settle according to weight and size. Levigation is used to prepare ointments, pastes, and suspensions and to obtain fine powders.
Volhard`s Method
Volhard's method is an indirect argentometric titration procedure used to determine anions that precipitate with silver ions. It involves adding excess silver nitrate to the analyte to form a silver salt precipitate. The unreacted silver ions are then back titrated with a standard thiocyanate solution using an iron(III) indicator to detect the endpoint color change from red to bright lemon yellow. Volhard's method is useful for determining halides and other anions like phosphate, arsenate, and chromate, especially in acidic conditions where carbonate and oxalate do not interfere.
Posology Posology: Definition, Factors affecting dose selection. Calculation ...
The science of dosage or posology (from Greek posos, how much, and logos, study) is a branch of pharmacology and therapeutics concerned with ‘treatment dosage’ and ‘dosage regimen’. Establishing optimum dosage underpins every clinical development plan for novel therapeutic candidates. Failure to select the adequate drug dose is a leading culprit for regulatory delays or denial of initial applications for new drugs and, more generally, inadequate dose selection contributes to the high attrition rate of pivotal clinical trials.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
