Reply to "Comment on 'Inflation with a graceful exit and entrance driven by Hawking radiation' "
No full textThe Comment [J. T. Firouzjaee, preceding Comment, Phys. Rev. D 89, 068301 (2014)] raises two points in regard to our paper [S. K. Modak and D. Singleton, Phys. Rev. D 86, 123515 (2012)]. The first is that one cannot use the tunneling picture to obtain the temperature and particle production rate in the Friedman-Robertson-Walker space-time. The second comment raised by Firouzjaee is that the Hawking-like radiation model for inflation presented in [Modak and Singleton; S. K. Modak and D. Singleton, Int. J. Mod. Phys. D 21, 1242020 (2012)] is inconsistent with the observed scalar and tensor perturbation spectrum. We show that the first comment is beside the point-we do not use the tunneling method in our papers [Modak and Singleton; Modak and Singleton]. The second criticism by Firouzjaee comes from the author evaluating quantities at different times-he evaluates the parameters of our model at the beginning of inflation and then compares this with the scalar and tensor perturbations evaluated at the horizon exit point.From Physical Review D, Vol.89(6), 68302, available online: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.89.068302.

Originality for Copyright Protection in Literary Works: After EBC v DB Modak
No full text266-276Originality, can be termed as the grund norm (the basic norm) for copyrightability. However, no one-size-fits-all formula
is adopted by countries on this aspect, and this article first explores the position and benchmarks to determine original
literary work (because even for different ‘works’ the criteria differs). Pursuant to this inquiry of identifying the ambit of the
respective thresholds, the Indian perspective is analysed with special emphasis on the decision delivered by Indian Supreme
Court in DB Modak. The judgement is critiqued to identify lacunae and absurdity in determining the law laid down and its
application in the factual matrix. Finally, subsequent Indian decisions are looked upon by the author to find out the
underlying approach by the courts wrt interpretation of DB Modak and what common threads emerge from them

Breath biomarkers for personalized medicine
No full textPersonalized medicine, in the near future, has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by allowing physicians to individualize therapy for patients through the early diagnosis of disease and risk assessment to optimize clinical response with minimal toxicity. The identification of biomarkers could detect, diagnose and help guide therapy to improve survival and quality of life by the early identification of responders to the drugs. Volatile organic compounds and stable isotope-labeled13CO2in breath can be uniquely utilized as in vivo diagnostic biomarkers of disease and/or lack of enzyme activity to aid physicians to personalize medication. Noninvasive detection of ailments and monitoring therapy by human breath analysis is an emerging field of medical diagnostics representing a rapid, economic and simple alternative to standard invasive blood analysis, endoscopy or harmful imaging techniques such as x-ray and CT scans.</jats:p
