The hypersolvus granitic rocks of the Petermann Ranges in East Antarctica reveal high alkali content, generation from a relatively dry magma as shown by the field and petrological characters and development in an anorogenic selling as indicatcd by an indirect genetic linkage with the spatially associated Gruber anorthosite massif. Hence, their resemblance to A-type granites and generation in a tensional tectonic environment is suggested.
The petrochemical characters indicate that the partial melting of a heterogenous but largely metasedimentary source generated the melt for crystallisation of the Petermann granite. The heat required for melting was possibly released by the fractionating basic magma which produced the juxtaposed Gruber anorthosite massif.

Considered earlier to be very little defonned, the granulite facies rocks of the Petennann Ranges, East Antarctica, reveal three phases of folding and two episodes of ductile shearing. These metamorphic rocks preserve the F1 folds as small scale, ischolar_mainless, intrafolial features with tight to isoclinal profiles, and F2 folds as mesoscopic features with close to tight profiles. F1 and F2 folds are coaxial and broadly coplanar having axial surfaces marked by pervasive NW-SE striking foliation. F3 folds are open, upright with N-S to NNW-SSE axial planes and impart local swings in the regional foliation. The early ductile shears produce a strong mylonitic fabric and are synchronous to F1, while occurring as thin wavy zones, the later shears are post F2.Shape and geometric analyses of representative folds show that F1 folds belong to class 2 and 1C at low and high limb dips respectively and are fonned dominantly by flexural flow. F2 folds exhibit geometric features of class 1C at low as well as high limb dips and owe their origin to buckling with a flexural slip component and flattening.

High-Al gabbro is reported here for the first time from three anorthosite complexes of Orissa sector of Eastern Ghats Granulite Belt (EGGB). It has distinctly different textural, mineralogical and chemical characters from the anorthosite within which it occurs, and also from the spatially associated Fe, Ti and REE enriched ferrodiorite suite.
The high-Al gabbro of EGGB is comparable to similar rocks from other anorthosite complexes in major, trace element compositions and Mg# range (50-58). However, in contrast to the high-Al gabbro of the Laramie Anorthosite Complex (LAC), it does not form the most primitive rock of this association and exhibits negative Eu anomaly (Eu/EU* 0 2 0 6). The Mg enriched composition of the silicates of the high-Al gabbro and higher MgO contents of the associated anorthosite and ferrodiorite of the LAC are other critical differences.
Variable composition of the parental melts for these rocks at EGGB and LAC is interpreted Derivation of these aluminous melts by partial melting of basalt under high pressure i s suggested.

Planktonic foraminifera are widely used in Cretaceous stratigraphy and have a well-Established zonation for low latitude regions. The most recently published version includes some of the proposals for the Cretaceous stage boundaries introduced at the meeting of the International Sub-Commission on Cretaceous Stratigraphy held in Brussels in 1995.
This zonation is identified in the sediments of the Cauvery basin and correlated with the ODP boreholes on the Exmouth plateau and in Western Australia. The maximum diversity of planktonic foraminifera in the Cauvery basin can be correlated with the highest temperatures in the Cretaceous and the Mesozoic sea-Level maximum. Both of these appear to relate to enhanced rates of ocean crust production. The distribution of planktonic foraminifera in the developing eastern Indian Ocean can also be used in palaeogeographical reconstructions that confirm the predicted palaeotemperatures.

Enteral tube feeding is the standard nutritional support modality for patients with a functioning gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the largest immune organ in the body containing 65 per cent of the body's overall immune tissue and upto 80 per cent of its immunoglobulin producing cells. Enteral nutrition is the preferred method of nutritional support as gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) attributes upto 60 per cent of total body immunity and enteral nutrition promotes mucosal viability and immunologic function.- Transfersomes- A Novel Carrier for Transdermal Drug Delivery

There is considerable interest in the skin as a site of drug application both for local and systemic effect. However, the skin, in particular the stratum corneum, poses a formidable barrier to drug penetration thereby limiting topical and transdermal bioavailability. Skin penetration enhancement techniques have been developed to improve bioavailability and increase the range of drugs for which topical and transdermal delivery is a viable option. This review describes enhancement techniques based on drug/vehicle optimization such as drug selection, prodrugs and ion-pairs, supersaturated drug solutions, eutectic systems, complexation, liposome, vesicles and particles. Enhancement via modification of the stratum corneum by hydration, chemical enhancers acting on the structure of the stratum corneum lipids and keratin, partitioning and solubility effects are also discussed. The mechanism of action of penetration enhancer's, retarders and their potential for clinical application is described.Keywords

Human and veterinary medicines have not been so well succeeded in order to achieve their goals concerned with the treatment of various types of infections. The antibiotic activity of Punica granatum Linn. (Fresh leaves) extract was evaluated by the agar diffusion method and agar disc diffusion to determine the zone of inhibition. The extract of P. granatum presented potential antibiotic action over all the assayed strains, forming 10 to 36 mm diameter inhibition zones. This paper's results claim the effectiveness of the extract of P. granatum as a potential antibacterial agent and display the significance of evaluating new substances with antimicrobial potential, which can contribute to alternative therapeutics for medicine.Keywords

Two month old stem explants of Carica papaya L. cv. Coorg Honeydew showed 80 per cent callus initiation on Murashige-Skoog (MS) nutrient medium supplemented with 3.0 μM of 2,4-dichloro phenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Treatment with phytohormones like Kinetin (Kin) or Benzyl adenine (BA) (@ 0.2 to 2.0 mg l-1) were found to have no role with regard to callus initiation. However, these initiating calli when subcultured on MS + 2,4-D (3.0 μM) + Kin (0.5 mg l-1) showed a two-fold growth by proliferation within 21 days after the date of sub-culture. During this period, 30 per cent of the callus tissue underwent necrosis. Thereafter, the best of 70 per cent friable, healthy calli were recultured on MS + 2,4-D (3.0 μM) + Napthalene acetic acid (NAA, 2.0 mg l-1) + Kin (0.5 mg l-1), also supplemented with casein (50 mg l-1). This combination for reculture resulted in vigorous callus growth on fresh weight basis. Best somatic ernbryogenesis was achieved when callus tissue so obtained was further recultured in MS + NAA (1.0 mg l-1) + Kin (0.5 mg l-1) + Gibberelic acid (GA3 1.0 mg l-1) + L- Ascorbic and (Asc, 50 mg l-1) alongwith glycine (1.0 mg l-1) + thiamine (Thia, 1.0 mg l-1) as adjuvants. The pH of such culture media was maintained at 5.7, incubated under a 16/8-hr light/dark cycle at 25°±1°C in the culture room. This protocol resulted in 80 per cent somatic embryogenesis out of which about 20 per cent yielded regenerants. The plantlets were carefully transferred to half-strength MS medium for further growth and hardening.Keywords

Cotyledonary explants from 4 week-old aseptic seedlings of Capsicum fruitescens cv. California Wonder were cultured on MS medium supplemented with sucrose (5%), agar (0.8%) and 2,4-D (1 mg l-1) pH 5.7. One month old callus was subcultured on the same medium devoid of 2,4-D but with salicylic acid (0.5 to 2.0 mM) to study the role of Salicylic acid in triggering defense responses. However, the best response for salicylic acid induced plantlet regeneration was obtained at 0.5 mM concentration. Kinetin (0.5 to 5.0 mg l-1) or Gibberellic Acid (each 0.5 to 5.0 mg l-1) failed to do so. The salicylic acid induced cytodifferentiation and plantlet regeneration in pepper may function through the response regulator mediated two component signaling system.
