A hydroxyapatite based bioresorbable material is incorporated with anti-cancer agents to form an implant used for treatment against cancer. Sustained release of the anti-cancer agents may be achieved after implantation at the targeted sites. The dosage of the anti-cancer agent, the microstructure, morphology, and composition of the bioresorbable material allow control of the release profile. The invented implant may be used for drug delivery, chemotherapy, or gene therapy.

A system and method for processing movement/delta metric data are provided. A processing system obtains one or more data records including movement/delta metric data. The processing system filters the data records according to a regular identification and time key filters and generates a match table and a time-filtered records table. The match table contains data records matching both queries and the time-filtered records table contains data records matching the regular identification key filters but not the time key filters. The processing system merges the match table with the time-filtered records table to generate an aggregated multi-dimensional grid display.

System and method for processing movement/delta metrics

Methods are provided for treating liquid hazardous waste containing anionic radioactive or heavy metal materials by binding the hazardous waste to hydroxyapatite powder, drying and then cold or hot pressing the hydroxyapatite powder into a solid mass for storage or disposal. The methods are useful for treatment and storage of radioactive waste, anions, and heavy metals. Methods are also provided for treating high concentration liquid hazardous waste and liquid hazardous waste which does not contain materials known to decompose at high temperatures.

Methods of treating nuclear hydroxyapatite materials

Methods are provided for producing non-porous controlled morphology hydroxyapatite granules of less than 8 .mu.m by a spray-drying process. Solid or hollow spheres or doughnuts can be formed by controlling the volume fraction and viscosity of the slurry as well as the spray-drying conditions. Methods of providing for homogenous cellular structure hydroxyapatite granules are also provided. Pores or channels or varying size and number can be formed by varying the temperature at which a hydroxyapatite slurry formed in basic, saturated ammonium hydroxide is spray-dried. Methods of providing non-porous controlled morphology hydroxyapatite granules in ammonium hydroxide are also provided. The hydroxyapatite granules and bulk materials formed by these methods are also provided.
