Towards a molecular simulation-driven approach to polymer selection for drug formulation
Many drugs are poorly soluble in water and require suitable formulation for oral administration. The use of polymer excipients in amorphous solid dispersions of drugs has emerged as a promising strategy. This requires the identification of suitable polymers for the drug of interest.
The impact of rural electrification beyond lights
Electrified groundwater irrigation majorly drives India's agricultural growth. India refocussed rural electrification towards universal household electrification in early 2000s. This paper finds regions electrifying more recently to experience far lower gains in electrified groundwater irrigation.
