Tablets are solid dosage forms consisting of active ingredients and excipients that may vary in size, shape, hardness, and other properties. Tablets are classified as compressed or molded according to the manufacturing method. Tablets offer benefits for production, packaging, stability, and ease of use compared to other dosage forms. However, some drugs are not suitable for tableting due to properties like bitterness, odor, or sensitivity to heat or moisture.
Granulation process may be defined as a process wherein small particles adhere together by forming bonds between them , resulting in the formation of large aggregates called granules.
Physics of Tablet compression is very useful during study of the tablet. It contains the mechanism of tablet compression. It also contains the process of tablet compression.

Direct compression is the most advanced technology. It involves only blending and compression. Thus offering advantage particularly in terms of speedy production. Because it requires fewer unit operations, less machinery, reduced number of personnel and considerably less processing time along with increased product stability.
Granulation, the process of particle enlargement agglomeration technique, is one of the most significant unit operations in the production of pharmaceutical dosage forms, mostly tablets and capsules.
Granulation process can be divided into two types: wet granulation that utilize a liquid in the process and dry granulation that requires no liquid.
the recent progress in the granulation techniques and technologies such as pneumatic dry granulation, reverse wet granulation, steam granulation, moisture-activated dry granulation, thermal adhesion granulation, freeze granulation.
Granules- A multi particle entities in which primary powder particles are made to adhere to form a large particle.
Granulation- A process of collecting particles together by creating bonds between them. Bonds are formed by compression or by using binding agent.
Granulation improve the flow of powdered materials by forming sphere like or regularly shaped aggregates called granules.
Pharmaceutical granulation process is used for tablet and sometimes capsule dosage forms;
However, in some applications the process is used to produce spherical granules for the modified release indications or to prepare granules as sprinkles to be used by pediatric patients.

A fluidized bed dryer (also called fbd fluid bed dryer) is a kind of equipment used extensively in the pharmaceutical industries to reduce pharmaceutical powder and granules’ moisture content. Drying is essential for wet granules for compression into the tablet and modifying viscous and sticky materials’ characteristics. Drying is commonly the last step in the unit process before compression into tablet form and packaging. VJ Instruments have many pharmaceutical instruments like coating tablet machine , double cone blender.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

2. Tablets are solid dosage forms consisting of active
ingredient(s) and suitable pharmaceutical excipients.
They may vary in size, shape, weight, hardness,
thickness, disintegration and dissolution
characteristics, and in other aspects.
They may be classified, according to the method of
manufacture, as compressed tablets or molded
tablets
2
3. Production aspect :-
Large scale production at lowest cost
Easiest and cheapest to package and ship
High stability
User aspect (doctor, pharmacist, patient):-
Easy to handling
Lightest and most compact
Greatest dose precision & least content
variability
3
4. Some drugs resist compression into dense compacts.
Drugs with poor wetting, slow dissolution, intermediate to
large dosages may be difficult or impossible to formulate
and manufacture as a tablet that provide adequate or full
drug bioavailability•
Bitter taste drugs, drugs with an objectionable odour, or
sensitive to oxygen or moisture may require
encapsulation or entrapment prior to compression or the
tablets may require coating.
4
5. The term “direct compression” is defined as the
process by which tablets are compressed directly
from powder mixture of API and suitable
excipients.
It involves only two unite operations powder
mixing and tableting.
5
6. Reduced production time &cost.
Product stability can be improved.
Faster drug dissolution due to fast disintegration into
primary particles.
less number of equipment are required, less process
validation
Elimination of heat and moisture, thus increasing not
only the stability but also the suitability of the process
for thermo-labile and moisture sensitive API’s.
The chances of batch-to-batch variation are
negligible, because the unit operations required for
manufacturing processes is fewer.
6
7. Many active ingredients are not compressible either in
crystalline or amorphous forms.
Needs directly compressible filler that is usually expensive,
e.g. microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel), spray dried lactose
Problems in the uniform distribution of low dose drugs.
High dose drugs having high bulk volume, poor flowability
and poor compressibility are not suitable for direct
compression. For example, Aluminium Hydroxide,
Magnesium Hydroxide
Non-uniform distribution of colour, especially in tablets of
deep colours
7
8. Drug is added to the granulator and grinded.
The suitable adjuvants( eg: diluents and others excipients) are
added and mixed in a blender.
After mixing the powder mixture is slugged or compressed into
large flat tablets or pellets about 1inch diameter. On large
scale, roller compactor is preferred.
These slugs are broken down by hand or by milling to form
granules.
The granules under go dry screening through a desired mesh
for sizing.
Finally, the lubricating agents is added and mixed thoroughly
in a blender.
The resultant granules are compressed by machine tooling of
a table press.
8
10. Advantage:-
The compression granulation need less space and equipment.
It is suitable for moist and heat sensitive drugs.
It takes less time.
Disadvantage:-
The compression granulation produces loads of dusts.
The prolonged compression rates may results in hard tablets
with poor disintegrating properties.
It produces friable tablets.
10
11. Drug is added to the granulator and grinded.
The suitable diluents and other excipients are added mixed in
a blender.
Granulating liquid are added to form a damp mass of the
powder material which resembles agglomerates.
The mass is screened to form pellets or granules.
These pellets or granules are dried to removes excess of the
liquid.
Dry screening of granules results in comminution (size
reduction).
The lubricating agents are added and the mixture is mixed
thoroughly in a blender.
11
13. The resultants granules are compressed by machine tooling of
the tablet press.
Advantage:-
Wet granulation is suitable for high dose drugs which have poor
flowability.
It is suitable for bulky and dust producing powders.
By selecting a suitable granulating liquid, the dissolution rate of
insoluble drugs can be enhanced.
Proper selecting a suitable granulating liquid enables the
preparation of sustained release dosage forms.
13
14. The wet granulation requires large space.
It is unsuitable for hydrolysable, thermolabile and
moisture sensitive.
This method is expensive.
Tacky material are difficult to transfer and so offer
problem during processing.
The wetting and drying steps makes this technique
time consuming.
14
17. It consists of a drum of about 0.75-1.5 m in diameter and 2-4 m
in length, heated internally, usually by steam and rotated on its
longitudinal axis.
Operation: The liquid is applied to the surface and spread to a
film, this may be done in various ways, but the simplest method
is that shown in the diagram, where the drum dips into a feed
pan. Drying rate is controlled by using a suitable speed of
rotation and the drum temperature.
The product is scraped from the surface of the drum by means
of a doctor knife.
17
19. The spray dryer provides a large surface area for heat
and mass transfer by atomizing the liquid to small
droplets.
These are sprayed into a stream of hot air, so that
each droplet dries to a solid particle.
The drying chamber resembles the cyclone ensuring
good circulation of air, to facilitate heat and mass
transfer, and that dried particles are separated by the
centrifugal action.
Spray dryer can be operated efficiently at various feed
rates.
19
21. Freeze drying is a process used to dry extremely heat
sensitive materials. It allows the drying , without excessive
damage, of proteins, blood products and even
microorganisms, which retain a small but significant viability.
In this process the initial liquid solution or suspension is
frozen, the pressure above the frozen state is reduced and
the water removed by sublimation.
Thus a liquid to vapour transition takes place, but here three
states of matter involved: liquid to solid, then solid to vapour.
21
23. Air flows in direction of the arrows over each shelf in turn.
The wet material is spread on shallow trays resting on the
shelves.
Electrical elements or steam-heated pipes are positioned as
shown, so that the air is periodically reheated after it has
cooled by passage over the wet material on one shelf before
it passes on the next.
23
25. ‘Fluidized’ means something that behaves like liquid. In the
fluidized bed dryer, the mixture of solids and gas behave like
a liquid and solid are called fluidized.
It provides good contact between hot air and particles to
obtain efficient drying.
The hot air is passed through a mesh, which supports the
conical vessel with a porous base.
This vessel is filled with powder to be dried.
It has wheels and can be clipped to the central plate by
means of a rapid acting ring closure.
25
27. This equipment is a good example of conduction drier. The
vacuum oven consists of a jacketed vessel to withstand
vacuum within the oven.
There are supports for the shelves giving a larger area for
conduction heat transfer. The oven can be closed by a door.
The oven is connected through a condenser and liquid
receiver to a vacuum pump.
Operating pressure can be as low as 0.03-0.3 bar, at which
pressures water boils at 25-35°C.
27
29. Capping is the partial or complete separation of the top
or bottom crowns of a tablet from the main body of the
tablet.
Lamination is separation of a tablet into two or more
distinct layers. Both of these problems usually result
from air entrapment during processing.
Picking is removal of a tablet’s surface material by a
punch.
29
30. Sticking is adhesion of tablet material to a die wall.
• These two problems result from excessive moisture
or substances with low melting temperatures in the
formulation
Mottling is an unequal color distribution on a tablet,
with light or dark areas standing on otherwise uniform
surface. This results from use of a drug with a color
different from that of the tablet excipients or from a
drug with colored degradation products.
30
31. Weight variation-granule size distribution, poor
flow, punch variation
Hardness variation
Double impression:- the problem happen when
the punches have a monogram or other engraving on
them. During compression the tablet receive the
imprint on the punch.
• To prevent this problem anti turning device is used.
