Remineralization is increasingly accepted as a viable non-invasive approach for restoring carious teeth, at least during the earlier stages of the caries process. According to the principles of minimal intervention dentistry, optimal non-invasive strategies are preferred for treatment of early enamel lesions. This study was designed to investigate the remineralising efficacy of casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate on early enamel lesions using energy dispersive x-ray analysis for quantitative assessment and scanning electron microscope for morphological changes. It can be inferred from the study that casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate paste significantly remineralises the early enamel lesions substantially .This could be attributed to the diffusion of calcium and phosphate minerals into the surface with the aid of saliva as the transport medium. This book gives an overview of how we can measure the amount of mineral loss or gain quantitatively along with the morphological changes.

Automated Ball Indentation (ABI) is one of the most promising miniature specimen techniques to characterize the mechanical behaviour of the materials. Utilization of ABI technique to monitor the mechanical properties of the structural materials used in commercial nuclear power plants is highly appreciable, due to its non destructive and In-situ measurement capabilities. In this book, ABI was applied to investigate the structural integrity of various structural component materials used in both light water and heavy water cooled nuclear reactors. The variation of mechanical properties in localized zones of Dissimilar weld joint (joint of SA 508-Cl 2 reactor pressure vessel nozzle and SS 304 LN pipe line with Inconel weld)and Similar weld joint (joint of SS 304 LN pipe lines)was examined using ABI technique. ABI technique was also utilized to investigate the mechanical properties of SA 508 and SS 304 LN steels (which respectively serve as the structural materials for RPV and calandria vessel) and Zr-2.5Nb alloy, which is the pressure tube material for commercial Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors. The analytical investigation of ABI technique for these materials is also presented.

Microbiology as a science has expanded by leaps and bounds in the past few decades due to advancements in sophisticated instrumentation and recombinant DNA technology which added new dimension and revealed the understanding of the subject at a molecular level. This has resulted in the emergence of several applications of this domain. This book have been complied with the help of leading Microbiologists from India and other countries with an objective of providing current developments in the field of Microbiology. This book will be useful for under and postgraduate students, academicians, researchers and laboratory personnel from disciplines like Microbiology, Biochemistry, Veterinary Science, Medicine, Pharmacy, Agriculture, Food Science, Environmental Science, Industrial Microbiology and other allied Biological Sciences.

Arthritis is the inflammation of a joint, which can include infiltration of inflammatory cells, synovial hyperplasia, bone erosion and new bone formation, narrowing of the joint space. Arthritis was induced in knee joint cavity of the right hind leg by intra-articular injection of 0.1ml of 1% carrageenan in all groups except control group. Animals are divided into five different groups such as Normal control, arthritis control, Standard A (MOOV) treated group, Standard B (RUMALAYA) treated group and test drug treated group. Catalase activity, Alkaline Phosphatase, MDA and Uric acid were significantly (p

In the past caries diagnosis and treatment was limited to detection and restoration of cavitated lesions. This drill and fill method failed to detect the underlying etiologic factor. Preventive programs should be instituted by analyzing the caries risk of the patient and providing a customized program to suit the need of patient. Regular monitoring and appropriate intervention are critical for changing the oral environment from one of hostility to one directed towards repair and stability. This book gives an overview on need for prevention, various modes of caries prevention and recent advances in caries prevention including the role of herbs in caries prevention.

The 21th century has been called century of biotechnology. It is the field at the cutting edge of science. The exponential increase in the quantity of scientific information and the rate, at which new discoveries were made, requires very elaborate, interdisciplinary and update information and their understanding. DNA Sequencing and Gene Cloning - An introduction covers various topics related with DNA sequencing and amplification in vivo and in vitro, updated knowledge of types of DNA sequencing and their applications. In Gene Cloning section it contain all aspects related to it including how gene cloning is important and at which step it is important in molecular project. This book also contains some mathematical conversions which are important for a biology lab. So that this book is very fruitful to all students who like to get information about sequencing and DNA amplification in vitro and in vivo environment.
