Abstract

Liposomes are one among the best drug carrier available in the present scenario. The pharmaceutical field is utilizing this drug carrier in the best way. Its site specific drug delivery property makes it the deserving candidate for targeted drug delivery system. The economical aspect of any product provides an opportunity to decide its utility. The present review tries to explore the economical overview as well as the international market scenario of the liposomes.

Abstract

Aluminium Al6061T6 alloys are mainly used in the application of automobile and aeronautical applications.  An attempt has been made to increase the tribological property of an Al6061 alloy by adding SiC and Al₂O₃ particulates as reinforcements. The particle size of SiC particles is 400μm. Hybrid metal matrix composite is prepared by Stir casting route and Friction and wear test is done by pin-on-disc method. Al6061T6 hybrid composites are used in automobile components for reliable, long life and high performance. Experiments were conducted based on the plan of experiments generated through Taguchi’s technique. A L27 Orthogonal array was selected for analysis of the data. Purpose of investigation is to find the influence of applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance on wear rate, as well as the coefficient of friction during wearing process was carried out using ANOVA and regression equation. The objective of the model was chosen as “smaller the better” characteristics to analyse the dry sliding wear resistance. Results show that applied load has the highest influence on the wear rate followed by sliding speed and sliding distance. Sliding distance has the highest influence on the wear rate followed by applied load and sliding speed.

Abstract

A study entitled "effect of locally available potting mixture on nursery raising of summer squash (Cucurbita pepo Linn.) under organic conditions" was carried out at Model Organic Farm of the Department of Organic Agriculture, CSK HPKV, Palampur during 2011. Eight different treatments of local organic potting materials were tested for their suitability for growing seedlings of summer squash in thermocol glasses of 150 ml capacity. The treatments were laid out in CRD with three replications. The same set of experiment was repeated thrice over three sowing dates at one month interval under protected structure i.e., 20th January 2011 (first sowing), 22nd February 2011 (second sowing) and 22nd March 2011 ( third sowing) . The pooled analysis over three sowing dates showed that the potting mixture comprising of two parts vermicompost + one part soil+ one part sand+ one fourth part wood ash was found to be the best organic material for growing the seedlings of summer squash. This potting material produced 91.78 percent healthy seedlings for transplanting, which could be easily pulled out with intact ischolar_maining mixture from the thermocol glasses. Small thermocol glasses can be used as an alternative to pro/plug trays or polythene bags as potting base for growing individual seedlings of cucurbits. It can be an affordable, cheaper and easily available technology for nursery raising of cucurbits in the country like India where majority of the farmers are small and marginal.
