C:N:P proportions in nutrients, particulate organic matter and dissolved organic matter from surface to maximum up to 2000 m water depth in the Bay of Bengal (Indian Ocean) during spring 2019
No full textThe data present the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus content and their ratios (C:N, N:P, C:P) in the dissolved inorganic nutrient, particulate organic matter, and dissolved organic matter pools from 5 m to a maximum of 2000 m depth in the Bay of Bengal during spring (5 April to 15 April 2019) in ORV Sindhu Sankalp expedition (SSK 127). The seawater samples were collected using a Sea-Bird CTD rosette sampler at a maximum of 10 different depths (5, 25, 50, 85, 200, 300, 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 m). The columns in the dataset include the date of sampling, latitude, longitude, depth, DIC (dissolved inorganic carbon), DIN (dissolved inorganic nitrogen (nitrate + nitrite)), DIP (dissolved inorganic phosphorus (phosphate)), POC (particulate organic carbon), PON (particulate organic nitrogen), POP (particulate organic phosphorus), DOC (dissolved organic carbon), DON (dissolved organic nitrogen), DOP (dissolved organic phosphorus), δ13C of DIC, and elemental ratios including DIC:DIN, DIN:DIP, DIC:DIP, POC:PON, PON:POP, POC:POP, DOC:DON, DON:DOP, and DOC:DOP. DIC was measured using Coulometer (UIC's Model 5012, USA) with an analytical precision of ± 2%. δ13C values of DIC were measured using GasBench II attached to an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Scientific MAT 253) with a precision better than 0.10 %. Nutrients such as DIN and DIP were measured using an autoanalyzer (SKALAR, The Netherlands). Reliability of the nutrients data was obtained daily by measuring certified reference material: MOOS-3 from National Research Council, Canada. POC and PON concentrations were measured using an Elemental Analyzer (FLASH 2000; Thermo Scientific) coupled with an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (Delta V Plus; Thermo Scientific) connected via conflo interface. The analytical precision for both POC and PON measurements were <10%. Total phosphorus (TP) and POP were measured by using high-temperature oxidation method. Samples (seawater for TP and filtered samples on GF/F for POP) were digested at 15 psi for 80 min in an autoclave, followed by their analysis in Shimadzu Spectrophotometer (UV-1800, Japan). The detection limit of the measurements was 0.1 nM. Total organic carbon (TOC) measurements were performed using high temperature catalytic oxidation method in Shimadzu TOC analyzer (TOC-L-CPH, Japan) and total nitrogen (TN) measurements were performed in Shimadzu TN analyser (TNM-L-CPH, Japan). Total organic N (TON) and total organic P (TOP) were estimated by subtracting inorganic matter from its total elemental pool such as [TN]–[DIN] and [TP]–[DIP], respectively. Dissolved organic C (DOC), N (DON), and P (DOP) concentrations were quantified as the difference between TOC and POC, TON and PON and TOP and POP, respectively

Drop on demand technology as a mini manufacturing platform for drug delivery and personalized medicine
No full textThere is need to develop a process and technology through which small tailored dosages can be delivered with precision and accuracy. This has led to research on developing a manufacturing platform which could be used to deliver personalized drugs in a variety of dosage formats both cheaply and efficiently. We envision a mini manufacturing platform centered on Drop-on-Demand (DoD) technology which can have wide ranging applications such as personalized medicine, clinical trials, poly-pharmacy and distributed manufacturing. A prototype system has been developed that has been tested for accuracy using gravimetric methods for dispensing sample dosage formats. The incorporation of online analytics has also been explored. Three sets of experiments were conducted. In the first one, the accuracy of the system was measured experimentally using gravimetric methods. The dispensing system was found to be very accurate with RSD < 1% and this was true for dispensing solutions as well as suspensions. In the second experiment the effect of viscosity was studied. It was found that for a fixed set of variables such as input pressure and nozzle diameter there was a limiting viscosity above which the dispensing was disrupted. The aggregation behavior of suspensions during flow through micro capillary was also studied. Finally the applicability of Raman spectroscopy for in line analytics was tested experimentally. It was found that Raman can be used for qualification of API in-capsule as well as in the supply line.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Abhishek Saha

Nocebo effects from negative product information: when information hurts, paying money could heal
No full text
Purpose
This research aimed to find whether information about a product can give rise to negative perceptions even in inert situations (nocebo effects), and to understand how price levels impact such judgments.
Design/methodology/approach
In all experiments, participants were exposed to negative product information in the form of potential side-effects. In an initial study, a higher non-discounted versus a discounted price frame was presented for a health drink after customers were exposed to negative aspects. Then, in experiment 1, price (high vs low) and exposure to information (no information vs negative information) was manipulated for skin creams where participants physically evaluated the cream. In experiment 2, price was manipulated at three levels (low, high, discounted) orthogonally with product information (no negative information vs with negative information) to get a more nuanced understanding.
Findings
In the initial study, after exposure to negative information, the non-discounted group had more positive ratings for the drink. Study 1 showed that reading about negative information resulted in a nocebo effect on perception of dryness (side-effect). Moreover, when no information was presented, perception of dryness by low and high price groups were similar but in the face of negative information, perception of dryness by low-price group was more pronounced compared to a high-price group. Study 2 conceptually replicated the effect and also confirmed that not only discounts (commonly linked with product quality), but absolute price levels also show a similar effect.
Practical implications
Nocebo effects have been rarely documented in consumer research. This research showed how simply reading generically about potential side effects gives rise to nocebo effects. In addition, even though marketers might find it tempting to lower prices when there is negative information about certain product categories, such an action could backfire.
Originality/value
To the best of our knowledge, the link between observable nocebo effects and its link with pricing actions is a novel research thread. We were able to show a nocebo effect on product perception after reading about negative information and also find that a higher price can mitigate the nocebo effect to some extent.

Oil and Growth in Transition Countries
No full textThis paper examines the impact of oil on economic growth in transition economies of the former Soviet Union (FSU) and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). We use oil production and reserves data in a series of panel estimations to show that oil has had strong and robust positive growth effects between 1990-2006. This is confirmed when we consider the different oil ownership structures. Additionally, we find that privatization levels have had positive growth effects, while privatization speed has had negative effects on growth.oil, resource curse, economic growth, transition countries, oil ownership
