Pharmaceutical process development is different!
Article Abstract:
The scale-up in the pharmaceutical industry can be improved through several ways. Among these are the development of methodologies for scale- up of unit operations in batch processing; creation of standard procedures for scale-up of unit operations; definition of the objectives of scale-up; learning the physical chemistry and physics of the unit operation; gap analysis; prioritization; standardization of experiments and calculations; data analysis; review of scale-up and equipment selection; and collection of data during actual operation.

The roots of process automation
Article Abstract:
Process automation was born in 1949, and the early efforts to use this concept include the SAGE (Semi Automatic Ground Environment) computer-based radar information network from 1953. Process automation today revolves around optical sensing, internet hierarchies, and high-speed and wireless data. The history and personalities of process automation, and the innovations over the years, are discussed.

UV process allows control of microparticle properties
Article Abstract:
A technique that uses ultraviolet light to sculpt three-dimensional particles and maintain control over the particles' shape, size, and texture, was developed by engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A continuous-flow lithography process that imprints two-dimensional shapes was modified by the researchers.
