Computer-Aided formulation design for pharmaceutical drug product development, part 01: Materials exploration through a visualization tool

An interactive tool has been developed to help design oral solid dosage form formulations. The tool enables quantitative explorations and comparisons of physical, bulk, and mechanical properties, and takes into account functional characteristics as well. In this manner, comparisons and clustering of both excipients and APIs can be carried out. These comparisons enable the generation of alternatives as well as surrogate identification, so as to spare resources and material.Multiple data sources were merged to create a “joint” data table with all relevant properties. Four main workflow activities are supported: Explore Materials, Search Similar APIs, Search Similar Excipients and Search Material Clusters.Multi-dimensional filtering can be superimposed to each functionality. Suggested visualizations are made particularly accessible by providing them as “standard plots”.The underlying philosophy is to empower formulation scientists to explore options, rather than prescribe decisions on exclusively mathematical grounds. The tool described here is the first step towards a holistic optimization incorporating predictions of mixture properties. Methodology of use is illustrated through three material selection application examples.

Analysis of the key component puff-by-puff transport in special segments and aerosol for electrical heated tobacco product.

Understanding the puff-by-puff delivery mechanisms of key components of heated tobacco products is critical to developing product designs. This study investigates the puff-by-puff release patterns of key components in Natural Smoke Cigarettes (NSCs), which are designed to deliver nicotine without combustion by reducing oxygen content, utilizing a 30-s puff interval, a 2-s puff duration, and a 55mL puff volume to simulate realistic smoking conditions. By establishing models to analyze the variation of nicotine, glycerol, 1,2-propylene glycol (PG), and water in different functional sections of the cigarette under controlled smoking conditions. These sections include the tobacco, hollow, cooling, and filter sections, constituting the structure of NSCs. In addition, the model calculates the port-by-port release of the components in the flue gas aerosol and compares it with the measured value. The results showed that: The retention amount in the tobacco section showed a steep decline in the first three puffs, with an overall exponential decrease. The amounts in the other sections were consistent, increasing in the first two puffs and then stabilizing. The retention amount decreased linearly with each puff, with a similar pattern across sections. The release amount peaked at the fourth to fifth puffs and then stabilized. The retention amount in the tobacco section declined exponentially in the first three puffs. It peaked in the second to third puffs in other sections, then decreased with each subsequent puff. The retention amount in the tobacco section showed a significant decline in the first puff, stabilizing at around 4mg. In other sections, it peaked at the first puff and then rapidly declined. These findings can inform the development of reduced-harm smoking products and contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of smoke generation. Additionally, the study offers a reference for the puff-by-puff release stability of NSCs and the improvement of consumers' sensory quality.

EXPRESS: Team Composition and Incentive Design in Collaborative Product Development

Choosing the right development team is crucial for companies. We investigate how project collaboration requirements and uncertainty levels affect the choice between “specialists” with higher levels of task-specific abilities and “generalists” with higher levels of collaboration skills. We also examine how these factors affect optimal team incentives. In addition to performance-enhancing helping, we consider another type of collaboration that has received less attention in the incentive literature: information-sharing, which can reduce uncertainty and lead to more compatible design decisions. In the case of helping, we show that if uncertainty is high then specialists might be preferred in order to reduce risk exposure—even if their task-specific abilities are only slightly better. Conversely, if information-sharing can significantly reduce uncertainty then generalists may be favored even if their task-specific abilities are much lower. Our study also reveals that task and collaboration incentives can be either complements or substitutes depending on the type of collaboration and level of project uncertainty: in projects that benefit from helping, firms will always substitute task incentives for collaboration incentives when selecting a team of specialists (rather than a team of generalists), yet this need not be the case with information-sharing. In such projects, it can be optimal to offer higher task incentives and also higher collaboration incentives to a team of specialists (than to a team of generalists) even though specialists’ collaboration skills are relatively lower.

Waste opportunity gap for energy productivity in new product design

ABSTRACT The Waste Opportunity Gap (WOG) issue should be considered in new product development (NPD) design. This is a term in the field of product development and redesign, and it means opportunities and facilities that could have been used in product design from its waste viewpoint, but were missed. In this paper, the product does not have WOG, it is considered a useful and efficient product from the users’ point of view. Because many manufacturers do not consider the gap after the termination of the product’s life, how to use it optimally in the recycling cycle after the end of the product’s life cycle. The identification of waste opportunities stands as a crucial component in directing the operations of companies pertaining to the sphere of product manufacturing, service provision, and information processing. The process of identifying a WOG is an intricate blend of artistic intuition and scientific expertise. The aforementioned task necessitates the identification of numerous factors pertaining to four fundamental domains, namely social and economic trends, technological advancements, and political transformations. Therefore, the present study intends to address the opportunity gap in NPD related to wastes and investigate the concept of converting waste to energy after consuming the container to maintain sustainability. The bi-stage approach make use of the best-worst method to weigh the collected product design indicators collected from the literature. Then, a mathematical model formulate the problem for decision making. The proposed mathematical model was implemented in GAMS 28.2.0 to maximize energy production from waste and minimize the greenhouse gas emission of product innovation. The results showed that in today’s competitive world where sustainability and the environment are important, the index of converting waste into energy is one of the main indicators of innovation.
