Evaluation of carrier size and surface morphology in carrier-based dry powder inhalation by surrogate modeling

In this work, design parameters of carrier-based dry powder inhalation were studied using surrogate modeling technique. The surrogate models constructed were then used to evaluate the key design parameters independently, which were otherwise difficult to determine based on experimental studies alone. Artificial neural network (ANN) was chosen as the surrogate modeling technique and models were constructed based on experimental data obtained from...
