Abstract: Numotizine by Hobart Laboratories is a poultice/ointment used
for temporary relief of joint or muscle pain. The scope of this experiment is
to study the rate of loss of the active ingredients: methyl salicylate, guaiacol
and Beachwood creosote. The active ingredients are volatile and migrate
through the skin of the user and also into the air. Stability of the active
ingredients in packaging is important to deliver the appropriate level to
the patient. Standard testing of the packaged materials is required for FDA
approval. The variables of temperature and sealing will be examined. Also the
rate of vaporization in the actual use of the product will be followed to better
determine the levels of active ingredients required for efficacy.

Abstract:Three students formed a design company consisting of a creative
director, production manager, and budget manager. The student design
company researched and designed a promotional campaign for a customer/
companies product or service. The visual print campaign includes the
following: a 12 or 16 page full color catalog of products/services; a full color
“quick start how to use” instructional brochure/flyer/booklet; a 4 to 6 panel
full color promotional brochure with die cut for promoting specific product
or service’s features through a specific distribution method; two 15” x 35” full
color 1 sides promotional panels for the products/services that could be used
in a store or table display exhibit. Prototypes of each print component will be
on display in Bridgeman Gallery BN140. Students’ research documentation
will be summarized in a “creative brief” which includes the Project
Summary/Background, Audience Analysis, Goals/Objectives, Communication
Strategy, Job Specifications, Production Estimates, Budget with Timelines
for production.

Abstract: Magnetized clay-xanthan aggregates can be useful in the
recovery of inorganic, organic and microbial pollutants from the waters and
wastewaters where other methods like carbon-adsorption and coagulation
cannot be, or are expensive to use. Clay-xanthan aggregates will be prepared
at different clay/xanthan ratios. Magnetite coating of the aggregates will be
conducted at different Fe(III)/Fe(II) ratios. The objective of this project is
to optimize magnetite coating of clay-xanthan aggregates and to find clay/
xanthan ratios that are most suitable for magnetite formation.
