The biotechnology business in India with an increase from USD 500
million in 1997 and reaching an estimated USD 1 billion next year
health related prod ucts accounting for 60%, agro and veterinary
products together 15%, and con tract R&D, reagents, devices and
supplies adding up to the remaining 25% of which the diagnostics
share was about 10% of the total surely presented an encouraging
picture even five years ago. While volumes have increased, the pat
tern has not. According to a report, prepared by McKinsey & Co,
India's Phar maceutical industry including domestic and export
sales and contract services totals nearly USD 5 billion.
Furthermore, the company optimistically projects the growth to a
factor of five fold only if both the industry and the government
are able to put in place achievable solutions that must take care
of the formida ble obstacles preventing further growth. If this
assessment is correct, then the established transformation made by
IT growth should also provide the confi dence required by the high
expectations for biotechnology which have arisen in the country in
recent years. Some contributors to this are overenthusiastic these
are bureaucrats, some retired scientists and of course the
complacent politicians who have the least knowledge of what the new
biotechnology is all about. However, there are clear indications of
biotechnology growth demon strated by a few but rapidly expanding
biotech companies such as Biocon Ltd, Shantha Biotech (P) Ltd, Dr.

Ferroelectric materials have a wide range of applications in making
of ferroelectric capacitors, ferroelectric random access memories,
non volatile random access memories, dynamic random access
memories, metal ferroelectric semiconductor field effect
transistors, microelectronic mechanical systems, sensors,
actuators, tunable resonators, variable frequency oscillators and
transducers. The most of these devices need low voltage operation,
therefore, a ferroelectric material possessing low coercive field
in thin film form is essential. This book provides the vital
information to fabricate the spray deposited composite films of
ferroelectric material embedded in polymer matrix, which have low
coercive field. The structural, ferroelectric, back switching,
current density - electric field, switching kinetics, dielectric,
capacitance - voltage, conductance - voltage studied on the
composite films of KNO3: PVA have been presented & interpreted.
The analysis of switching kinetics of these composite films with
application of nucleation limited switching model has also been
discussed. On the whole, this book explore the possibilities to use
these composite films in the future memory devices.
Taro Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott] accessions collected from
different parts of India were subjected to RAPD (Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA) analysis to assess the genetic diversity prevalent
in them. Eight random primers were used to analyze 10 taro
accessions belonging to different sites of India. Band sizes
obtained ranged from 0.4 to 2 kb and the number of scorable bands
per primer ranged from 1 to 13 with an average of 8 bands per
primer. Two out of Eight primers analysed showed 100 per cent
polymorphism. The bands produced by the primers were distinct and
reproducible. High genetic diversity was revealed as the similarity
coefficient values ranged from 0.56 to 0.78. No two accessions
analyzed in the present study showed a similarity coefficient value
of one thereby indicating their distinctness and presence of high
genetic diversity in them. Dendrogram obtained from UPGMA analysis
grouped 10 accessions in two clusters. Clustering pattern did not
show any strict relationship with geographical distribution,
morphotype classification and genotypic diversity. The number of
polymorphic loci was found to be 43 and the percentage of
polymorphic loci was found to be 84.31%.
"YOU ARE GOING TO BURN IN HELL FOREVER " Quite an opening line for
a work of fiction - and, as it turns out - you can expect a good
read from there on out (with an ending you won't see coming). The
story surrounds a Hindu boy who converts to Christianity - out of a
deep desire to save himself from a hell very real to him. As a
grown man, he stumbles into an incident which not only embroils him
in disillusionment towards his faith but creates deep conflict.
Making matters worse, this same conflict causes the young Christian
convert to stand on the very edge of an abyss that threatens to
engulf him: that of losing his faith in Christ - and God Himself...
The Second Coming of Da Vinci: Real Lost Symbols of the Bible
presents an riveting fiction work: one that provokes profound
thought within the highly personalized context and experiences of a
single individual. This is an ideas-driven, richly textured novel,
weaving in and out of Eastern and Western philosophies, connecting
the facts revealed for both. A powerfully moral book, it concerns
itself with the choices one makes in life. While the casual reader
enjoys the fictional nature of the work, conversely the serious
reader appreciates the simplicity with which the facets of deep
spirituality are made. Without going into deep theological
comparisons, The Second Coming of Da Vinci comes to the aid of
those who desire to delve deep in the subject of religiosity. The
Second Coming of Da Vinci answers the human inquiry surrounding God
and religion - decoding the truly lost symbols. And in so doing,
invites one and all to open their hearts to love and in turn, to
living itself.
