Successful Technology transfer enables the production of new dosage form so it is important to remove the barriers to the free flow of technology as well as to the free flow of science. This book addresses the various concepts and recommendations on the activities necessary to conduct a successful transfer of technology guidelines. The intention is to describe the basic considerations needed for successful transfer in order to satisfy the regulatory authority. It imparts the knowledge of various issues like steps involved in technology transfer, documentation needed, effective and failure factors, intellectual property rights on technology transfer, Role of R & D manager, it also emphasized on the policies which are needed to be rebuild to promote the effective technology transfer from R&D to production level.Ultimate goal of this book is to provide insight depth to pharmacy research scholar on various key concepts of Pharmaceutical Technology Transfer in order to carve their technical skills

The Mesoproterozoic mafic volcanism in the Bhowali- Bhimtal and adjoining areas of outer Kumaun Lesser Himalaya, referred herewith as Bhimtal volcanics (BV) occur as alternating volcano-sedimentary sequences with Nagthat Formation. The mineral chemistry of clinopyroxenes from BV shows a subalkaline trend. The major element geochemistry of BV classified them as basalts, basaltic andesite and basaltic trachyandesite. The trace and REE geochemistry suggests their derivation probably from a plagioclase depleted source. Chondrite normalized REE patterns suggest that most of the REE were not significantly disturbed during alteration of BV and have retained primary features similar to that of fresh BV samples. Trace and REE geochemistry suggest slightly enriched mantle source and hence plume origin might be expected for BV magmatism. Moreover the geochemical similarity of BV with other volcanics of NW Himalaya provides the clue for similar source for all the volcanism in NW Himalaya. Based on melting model results it has been suggested that 5 to 15% melting of garnet lherzolite source can produce the observed LREE variations of precursor BV melt.
