ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS DETERMINING THE DIVERSITY OF DARKLING BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: TENEBRIONIDAE) IN ARID, HIGH-ALTITUDE ENVIRONMENTS IN NORTHWESTERN ARGENTINA

Environmental factors determining the diversity of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) in arid, high-altitude environments in Northwestern Argentina

Abstract Factors influencing the diversity of tenebrionid beetles in arid, high-altitude environments in the northwest of Argentina are little-known.Using pitfall traps and suction sampling in 30 sites, we collected these beetles in Altos Andes (AA) and Puna (PU) ecoregions and evaluated how local and regional factors influenced their assemblages.D

Enhancement of in vivo hypoglycemic effect of gliclazide by developing self-microemulsifying pellet dosage form

Abstract Background The present research was aimed to develop a self-microemulsifying drug delivery Advanced Wound Care - Transparent Bandages system (SMEDDS) pellet to increase the dissolution rate and in vivo hypoglycemic effect of gliclazide.Gliclazide belongs to BCS class 2 and it exhibits dissolution rate-limited absorption.Thus, dissolution e
