Kankar-Pathar(Pebbles and Stones) is a collection of author's original poems in Punjabi.

This book highlighted the pharmacogonstic and chemotaxonomic features of Ficus benjamina and Ficus deltoidea, accentuating the challenges of identifying plant species with morphological similarities in the herbal drug industry. The book details the use of preliminary phytochemical screening and chromatography studies as quick and easy methods for identifying and standardizing plant materials, as well as the development of TLC and HPTLC fingerprints as tools for chemical standardization. The book also discusses the anti-plasmodial activity of F. benjamina and its isolation of ursolic acid and lupeol, which have demonstrated significant anti-plasmodial effects and could be potential candidates for the development of novel anti-plasmodial drug molecules. Overall, the book provides valuable insights for researchers and professionals in the development of better pharmacotherapeutics from plant materials.

This book provides a roadmap for effective digital marketing by identifying consumer behavior pattern as well as ensuring better customer experience.

This book provides an insight to the students and researchers in the area of slurry erosion of various kinds of steels. An experimental case study has been presented in which slurry erosion resistance of steel has been enhanced by means of hardfacing. The explanatory notes & illustration provided in book will serve the purpose of awakening the interest of researcher and motivating them for further research in this area.

Jaggery Sugar is an important medicinal product being prepared traditionally by concentrating the sugarcane juice at constant boiling and used as major constituents in ayurvedic fermenetd formulations. Fermentation itself induced certain chemical changes in formulations as well in Jaggery due to increase in acidic concentration of formulation. A qualitative comparison of RP-HPLC-DAD chromatograph of both fermented and non fermented Jaggery was made to understand the chemical changes in it. HPLC-DAD analysis of both the fermented and non ¿ fermented Jaggery revealed a qualitative decrease in flavonoid -O- glycoside concentration in fermented Jaggery as compare to the non ¿ fermented Jaggery. Flavonoid -C- glycoside were the major one in both fermented and non ¿ fermented Jaggery. Since flavonoid -C- glycosides are the major ones therefore the biological activities may be attributed to flavonoid -C- glycosides. The presence of gallic acid, ellagic acid and 5-HMF were also noted. This works highlights the importance of use of Jaggery in most of the Ayurvedic formulations.

Nanofiber drug delivery systems are capable to improve therapeutic efficacy, diminish toxicity, and can be designed to control and prolong drug release by regulate the degradation rate of the polymer.The concept of multilayer nanofibrous patch will localize the formulation at a particular region of the body, thereby improving bioavailability of the drugs with low bioavailability. The increased contact time and localization of the drug added advantage of this approach would be increase in bioavailability as well as reduction in frequency of administration. The encapsulation of Acyclovir with polymeric nanopatch could be an effective approach for producing a sustained release of the drug making it suitable for oral or other routes of administration such as intrapulmonary or intravitreal.developed multilayered nanofiber formulation was found to show controlled delivery of antiviral drug (Acyclovir). The formulation showed pH-responsive drug release at small intestine and colon system. In pharmacokinetic studies in rats, developed formulation exerted sustain release with improved pharmacokinetic profile.

Stroke has become one of the leading cause of mortality and long term disability in developing world. The cause of disability is multi factorial in its determination. Many advances have been made in stroke prevention and management, however, stroke continues to be a prevalent and burdensome condition, particularly among the elderly, but now gaining momentum in occurrence among the young too. Stroke is one of the most common life threatening neurological disease and is one of the main cause of long term disability in adults worldwide. Over years, stroke has become major health problem in India. The prevalence of stroke in India was estimated as 203 per 100,000 populations above 20 years, amounting to a total of about 1 million cases. The effects of stroke are variable depending on location of the lesion as well as the size. The most typical symptom of stroke is hemiparesis or hemiplegia, which ranges from weakness to full paralysis of the body opposite to the side of the lesion, affecting the person¿s activities of daily living and community participation.Hence essential details of various domains of its multifaceted influence on life of people becomes crucial.

Surface method of irrigation is the oldest and most common method of irrigation. It consists of a broad class of irrigation methods in which water flows over the soil surface and distributed over the field by gravity flow with the intention that the applied water infiltrates into the soil. Surface irrigation, though looks very simple, is a very complex process due to spatial and temporal variations in soil infiltration and crop resistance which influence the movement of water over the field and thus the water distribution. Typically, there may be four phases during a surface irrigation event: (i) water advance in the field, (ii) wetting or ponding to supply desired amount of water, (iii) depletion of ponded water, and (iv) recession of water along the reach of the field.

The WRMSDs have been associated with multifactorial etiology and its prevention and management require multidisciplinary effort. Though the advancement in ergonomics and biomechanics have led to modification of workplace environment and reduction of external force, yet the incidence of MSDs continued to mount, particularly in jobs requiring repetitive movements, giving an impression that the modification of external force alone cannot explain the increasing incidence of MSDs. Through this present research, the author is intended to find out the optimum force that could be exerted with minimal discomfort during combined movements of extension with ulnar deviation of wrist.

Spiders are least explored non-chemical alternative in insect-pest control. Spiders are often confused with other long-legged insects and mistakenly feared as poisonous. This book provides an introduction to the spiders covering its physical characteristics, behaviour and physiology, neurobiology, reproductive characteristics, habits, habitats, prey, relationships to human beings and various challenges faced in rice cropping with special emphasis on its insect pests and role of spiders as an effective biocontrol agent. Along with as a biocontrol agent, spiders also act as an important detrivores agent and play an important role in food web and overall ecology of the rice field. Spiders are described with simple text and full-colour illustrations. With indiscriminate use of pesticides, spiders are facing threat and populations are decreasing reducing its pest control ability. Hence, there is urgent need to conserve this generalist predator by providing artificial shelters, promoting bio-rational control methods and restricting use of chemicals in the rice fields. This book is an asset for students, teacher and researchers of plant pathology, agronomy, entomology, zoology, crop protection as well as person engaged in spiders in rice
