Pilot plant scale-up is a branch of the pharma companies in which a lab-scale formula is converted into a commercially viable product by creating a reliable manufacturing technique. The same techniques employed in dosage form Research and Development are adapted to multiple output volumes, frequently larger than those obtained during Research and Development. There is always a requirement for an intermediate batch scale describing techniques and imitating those in commercial manufacturing in any new or established pharmaceutical sector. This is accomplished by testing the formula’s ability to survive batch-scale and process changes.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

8. Pilot plant scale-up: Injectables
• The majority of the parenteral solutions requiring a variety of equipments for
liquid mixing, filtration, transfer and related activities.
• Most of the equipments are composed of stainless steel, with glass lined
vessels employed for preparation of formulations sensitive to iron and other
metal ions.
• The vessels can be equipped with external jackets for heating and/or cooling
and various types of agitators, depending upon the mixing requirements.
8
10. Working area of a parenteral pilot plant
• Incoming goods are stored in special areas for Quarantine, Released and
Rejected status.
• A cold room is available for storage of temperature-sensitive products.
• Entrance into the warehouse and production areas is restricted to personnel.
• The route for final products is separated from the incoming goods.
• Storage of final products is done in designated areas in the warehouse.
• Sampling and weighing of the raw material is performed in a dedicated
sampling area and a central weighing suite, respectively.
10
11. Warehousing
• All samples should be aseptically taken, which mandates unidirectional airflow and
full operator gowning.
• These measures reduces the potential for contamination ingress into materials that
are yet to receive any processing at any site.
• First the materials are passed through class 100,000 i.e. grade D environment for
presterilization.
• Transfer of materials are carried out in air-locks to avoid cross contamination.
• The preparation areas are supplied with HEPA filters.
• There should be more than 20 air changes per hour.
• The preparation place is Class 100 area.
11
12. Compounding area
• In this area formulation is compounded.
• Cabinets and counters are made up of stainless steel.
• They should fit tightly to walls so that there are no void spaces where dirt
can accumulate.
• The ceiling walls and floor should be constructed of impervious materials
so that moisture will run off.
12
13. Aseptic area
• The ceiling walls, floor must be sealed so that they can be washed and
sanitized with disinfectant.
• The filling of the formulations is performed in a class 100 environment.
• Air locks serve as a transition points between one environment and another.
• They are fitted with the UV lights, spray systems or other devices that may be
effectively utilized to prevent contamination of the materials.
13
14. HEPA filters
• HEPA filters, by definition, remove at least 99.97% of Airborne particles
0.3 micrometers (µm) in diameter.
• HEPA filters are composed of a mat of randomly arranged fibers.
• These fibers are typically composed of fiberglass and possess diameters
between 0.5 and 2.0 micron.
• The air space between HEPA filter fibers is much greater than 0.3 μm.
14
15. Types of parenteral dosage form: Solutions
• Solutions of drug are suitable for parenteral administration are referred as
injections.
• They are manufactured by dissolving the drug and suitable excipients, adjusting the
pH, filtration through 0.22µm membrane and autoclaving the final product.
• These are of two types:
• Large Volume Parenterals (LVP)
• Small Volume Parenterals (SVP)
15
16. Types of parenteral dosage form: Suspensions
• Suspensions is one of the most difficult parenteral dosage form.
• It can be injected through a 18 to 21 gauge needle.
• Formulation consists of active ingredients suspended in aqueous solution.
• Two methods are used to prepare parenteral suspension:
• Sterile vehicle & powders are combined aseptically.
• Sterile solutions are combined and the crystals formed in-situ.
• Penicillin G procaine injectable suspension USP
• Sterile Testosterone injectable suspension USP
16
17. Problems associated with suspensions
• Syringeability: It refers to the handling characteristics of a suspension
while drawing and manipulating it in a syringe.
• Injectability: It refers to the properties of the suspension during
injection.
17
18. Types of parenteral dosage form: Emulsions
• Emulsions is a dispersion of two or more immiscible liquids.
• It includes following types:
• Water-in-oil emulsions of allergenic extracts (subcutaneously)
• Oil-in-water sustained-release depot preparations (intramuscularly)
18
19. Types of parenteral dosage form: Dry Powder
• Many drugs are physically or chemically unstable and hence formulated as
dry powders, which can be reconstituted in solution by addition of water.
• Sometimes it may be an aqueous suspension such as ampicillin trihydrate and
spectinomycin hydrochloride.
