PHARMACEUTICO-ANALYTICAL STUDY OF SHODHITA SHILAJATU
In the Pharmaceutical process of different forms of medicines raw material & its quality plays an important role. During ancient time Vaidyas were themselves used to collect the raw materials herbs based on their occurrence and organoleptic characters, i.e., typical taste, texture, smell, color, and there types after selection they utilized them in preparing medicines. Based on their own observations, principles of drug processing and ideal quality of finished product, etc., have been documented by them. The principles were developed based upon the scientific parameters prevailing in those days. Materials and Method: Raw Shilajatu was subjected to Shodhana and Shodhita shilajatu was subjected to analytical study. The required materials for the process were collected from the Pharmacy of BLDEA's AVS Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya pharmacy Vijayapur, analytical lab. Raw drugs were purchased from Dorle and Sons retailer from Kolhapur Maharashtra. Shilajatu shodhana was carried out according to reference mentioned in Rasaratna samuchaya. Analytical tests concern Indian Pharmacopeia methods were followed. Result: Raw Shilajatu took 5 ½ hour to 6hour in Shodhan procedure in both batches. Three days for drying. In analytical tests physical constants like pH ash value, solubility, specific gravity, moisture content etc result values were under normal limit
Evolution of the Kondo resonance feature and its relationship to spin-orbit coupling across the quantum critical point in Ce2Rh{1-x}CoxSi3
We investigate the evolution of the electronic structure of Ce2Rh{1-x}CoxSi3
as a function of x employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. Co
substitution at the Rh sites in antiferromagnetic Ce2RhSi3 leads to a
transition from an antiferromagnetic system to a Kondo system, Ce2CoSi3 via the
Quantum Critical Point (QCP). High resolution photoemission spectra reveal
distinct signature of the Kondo resonance feature (KRF) and its spin orbit
split component (SOC) in the whole composition range indicating finite Kondo
temperature scale at the quantum critical point. We observe that the intensity
ratio of the Kondo resonance feature and its spin orbit split component,
KRF/SOC gradually increases with the decrease in temperature in the strong
hybridization limit. The scenario gets reversed if the Kondo temperature
becomes lower than the magnetic ordering temperature. While finite Kondo
temperature within the magnetically ordered phase indicates applicability of
the spin density wave picture at the approach to QCP, the dominant temperature
dependence of the spin-orbit coupled feature suggests importance of spin-orbit
interactions in this regime.Comment: 6 figure
A uracil nitroso amine based colorimetric sensor for the detection of Cu²⁺ ions from aqueous environment and its practical applications
A simple uracil nitroso amine based colorimetric chemosensor (UNA-1) has been synthesized and screened for its cation recognition ability. Sensor UNA-1 exhibited a high sensitivity and selectivity towards Cu²⁺ ions in aqueous medium in the presence of a wide range of other competing cations (Ag⁺, Al³⁺, Ba²⁺+, Ca²⁺, Cd²⁺, Co²⁺, Cr³⁺, Cs⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Li⁺, Mg²⁺, Mn²⁺, Na⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Sr²⁺). With Cu²⁺, the sensor UNA-1 gave a distinct color change from colorless to dark yellow by forming a complex of 1:1 stoichiometry. Furthermore, sensor UNA-1 was successfully utilized in the preparation of test strips and supported silica for the detection of Cu²⁺ ions from aqueous environment
Test of Current Viscosity Theories for Dilute Polymer Solutions in Solvent-nonsolvent Mixtures
Observation of pseudogap in MgB2
Pseudogap phase in superconductors continues to be an outstanding puzzle that
differentiates unconventional superconductors from the conventional ones
(BCS-superconductors). Employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy on
a highly dense conventional superconductor, MgB2, we discover an interesting
scenario. While the spectral evolution close to the Fermi energy is
commensurate to BCS descriptions as expected, the spectra in the wider energy
range reveal emergence of a pseudogap much above the superconducting transition
temperature indicating apparent departure from the BCS scenario. The energy
scale of the pseudogap is comparable to the energy of E2g phonon mode
responsible for superconductivity in MgB2 and the pseudogap can be attributed
to the effect of electron-phonon coupling on the electronic structure. These
results reveal a scenario of the emergence of the superconducting gap within an
electron-phonon coupling induced pseudogap.Comment: 4 figure
Safety evaluation of seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) leaves in Japanese quail
Aim: The present study was designed to evaluate the safety of seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L. Elaeagnaceae) leaves added in the diet of Japanese quail. Materials and Methods: A total of ninety quail chicks were randomly divided into 2 groups and fed a standard quail chick mash added with or without 2% SBT leaf powder (Group SX), and a standard quail chick mash (Group CX, control) for 21 days. Six animals from each group were randomly sacrificed at 7, 14 and 21 day post feeding. Blood and tissue samples were collected for biochemical and histopathological studies.Results: The inclusion of SBT in quail diet did not affect the weekly body weights, clinical signs or mortality among the birds. The serum biochemical parameters like alanine transaminase, total protein, albumin, cholesterol and uric acid values in SBT treated group were found at par with those in the control group. Gross and histopathological studies of various internal organs such as liver, kidneys, heart, spleen, proventriculus, small intestine, bursa and thymus did not reveal any significant lesions in the tissue sections. However, proliferation of lymphoid tissue was a prominent finding noted in different lymphoid organs.Conclusion: In conclusion, the addition of seabuckthorn leaf powder at 2% level in the diet of Japanese quail was found to be safe and it can be used as a feed additive
