  text: "Free amino nitrogen (FAN) concentrations in beer mash can be determined with
    machine learning algorithms\r\nfrom near-infrared (NIR) spectra. NIR spectroscopy
    is an alternative to a classical chemical analysis and\r\nallows for the application
    of inline process quality control. This study investigates the capabilities of\r\ndifferent
    machine learning techniques such as Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, Decision
    Tree\r\nRegressor (DTR), Bayesian Ridge Regression (BRR), Ridge Regression (RR),
    K-nearest neighbours (KNN)\r\nregression as well as Support Vector Regression
    (SVR) to predict the FAN content in beer mash from NIR\r\nspectra. Various pre-processing
    strategies such as principal component analysis (PCA) and data\r\nstandardization
    were used to process NIR data that were used to train the machine learning algorithms.\r\nAlgorithm
    training was conducted with NIR data obtained from 16 beer mashes with varying
    FAN\r\nconcentrations. The trained models were then validated with 4 beer mashes
    that were not used for model\r\ntraining. Machine learning algorithms based on
    linear regression showed the highest prediction accuracy on\r\nunpre-processed
    data. BRR reached a root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) of 2.58 mg/L
    (R2 = 0.96)\r\nand a prediction accuracy (RMSEP) of 2.81 mg/L (R2 = 0.96). The
    FAN concentration range of the investigated\r\nsamples was between approx. 180
    and 220 mg/L. Machine learning based NIR spectra analysis is an alternative\r\nto
    classical chemical FAN level determination methods and can also be used as inline
    sensor system."

  text: Delayed-release dosage forms are mainly manufactured as batch processes and
    include coated tablets, pellets, or particles with gastric resistant polymers.
    Authors propose a novel approach using the hot-melt extrusion technique to prepare
    delayed release dosage forms via a continuous manufacturing process, a new trend
    in the pharmaceutical industry. A full factorial design was employed to correlate
    input variables, including stearic acid (SA) content, drug content, and pellet
    size with drug release properties of the pellets. PLS fit method suitably elaborated
    the relationship between input and output variables with reasonably good fit and
    goodness of prediction. All three input factors influenced drug release in enzyme-free
    simulated gastric fluid (SGF) after 120 min; however, SA content did not significantly
    affect drug dissolution in the enzyme-free simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). An
    optimized formulation and design space were determined by overlaying multiple
    contours established from regression equations. The continuous manufacturing process
    was successfully monitored using inline near-infrared (NIR) and inline particle
    size analysis, with drug load and pellet size being well-controlled within the
    design space. The obtained pellets released less than 5% after 120 min in SGF
    and more than 85% and 95% after 30 min and 45 min, respectively, after switching
    to SIF. (C) 2020 American Pharmacists Association (R). Published by Elsevier Inc.
