Transesterification by Reactive distillation for characterisation and synthesis of Biodiesel

Sapkal R.S., Sapkal V.S., Sapkal R.S., Sapkal V.S., Raut N.B., Shinde G.B., University of Pune, IN

The awareness in alternative fuels has increased dramatically in recent years due to the rising cost and the environmental concerns related to fossil fuels use. Biodiesel represents a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective fuel produced [...]

The SURVISMETER – a Green Technology in Service

Singh M., Bhanumati S., Shukla A., Shukla S.S., Shukla A., Shukla S.S., University of Delhi, IN

Viscosity is a measure of stickiness and the reverse is fluidity. It is a valuable data for all liquids in the oil, lubricant, paint, polish, food, beverage, cosmetic, biosolvents, drugs and pharma, polymer, nanomaterials, and [...]

Relaxation Time Constants of Nanometals in Human Tissues and Clinical Applications

Sharma A., Sharma R., Sharma A., Sharma R., Center of Nanotechnology, IN

The metals are in abundance in human body in biofluids, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, lymph. These metals are found in free and bound forms in each tissue and their amount is tissue specific. The mechanism [...]

Extended Applications of Picomolar Technology to Measure Immunoactive Biomarkers

Shriniwas B.D., Sharma A., Sharma R., Sharma A., Sharma R., RTM Nagpur University, IN

The picotechnology extended use in marine and biology applications are reported after our report on picotechnology to measure picomolar quantities of single stranded DNA in evaluation of Texotere chemosensitivity (TCRT,2008,28(6):175). Lead and mercury poisoning is [...]

Infant HIV and Nanotechnology

Goel N., Sharma R., Pt BDS Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, IN

Background: New methods have emerged in detection and monitoring HIV using nanotechnology techniques but HIV in infants got less attention. Purpose: We report here the Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) [...]

Borthakur B.J., Mahatma Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences (Govt. of Puducherry Institution), India., IN

Summery: “The best way to predict the future is to create it”. Anonymous Nanofillers used in dental composites give superior nanomechanical & optical properties & reduction in polymerization shrinkage. To understand the nature’s biology is [...]

Action of Paclitaxel pH-Sensitive Liposomes on B16F1 Melanoma Cells

Karanth H., Murthy R.S.R., The M.S. University of Baroda, IN

Long circulating pH-sensitive liposomes loaded with Paclitaxel were developed and characterized for the encapsulation efficiency, release characteristics and its action on B16F1 melanoma cells (low metastatic). Paclitaxel loaded pH-sensitive liposomes showed better release pattern and [...]

Newer Methods of Nanoparticle Synthesis: Nitroimidazole properties with Nanometal oxides in Polymer Cages

Khan R.A., Sharma R., Florida State University, IN

Nitroimidazoles are radiosensitizers and hypoxia detecting chemosensitizers. Intially nitroimidazoles were single dose antibiotic drugs. Recently, nitroimidazole derivatives have emerged as multifunctional “drug-biomarker monitors” chemical compounds with importance in treatment of tumors, monitoring hypoxia and safer [...]

Mechanism of Nitroimidazole Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles Embedded in Micro-organisms as Delivery Systems

Goel N., Sharma R., Post Graduate Institute of Medical Science, IN

Avirulent Bacteria and parasites act as “tiny missile like carriers” capable to carry the magnetic nanoparticles (NMP) together with anticancer or radiosensitizer drugs at the tumor site. We compared the iron-oxide particles binding characteristics with [...]

Effect of nanomeric structured micelles on metabolic kinetic study of two CNS drugs

Singh N., Nema N., Rawat L., Pandey A., H.S. Gour University, IN

Depression is estimated to affect nearly 340 million people worldwide and 18 million people in the US at any given time [1-2], making it the third most costly and disabling illness in the US [3-8]. [...]
