No full textNot AvailableTree borne oilseeds (TBO's) are gaining importance as a supplementary source of oil for food, fodder, fuel and industrial applications. All products of forests excluding timber have been traditionally classified as Non Timber Forest Produce (NTFP) or Minor Forest Produce (MFP). In order to prevent over exploitation and ensure sustainable supply, the alternative is to additionally raise them as plantations or in various agroforestry systems. Agroforestry refers to the integration of farming with forestry practices, preferably on the same unit of land on sustainable basis. Agroforestry systems can be in the form of scattered trees, rows or strips of trees and trees in border rows or boundaries. Farm boundary plantations, natural regeneration and scattered trees in farmlands are the main agroforestry components with well known traditional species of tree borne oilseeds like neem, mahua and karanj. The establishment of a successful agroforestry system with tree borne oilseeds as a component begins with the selection of the tree species. Around 300 tree species bearing oleaginous seeds have been reported in literature. This chapter focusses on the potential species for edible grade and industrial oils and agroforestry systems for dry and moist climatic regions as well as different situations based on soil type and length of growing period.Not Availabl

Agroforestry systems can be in the form of scattered trees, rows or strips of trees and trees in border rows or boundaries. In addition to the well known traditional species of tree borne oilseeds like neem, mahua and karanj, this paper describes other potential species as sources of edible and industrial grade oils.Not Availabl
5‐Fluorouracil encapsulated magnetic nanohydrogels for drug‐delivery applications
No full textFunding Information: This research was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (contract grant number NRF-2015R1A3A2066301) and the author Kokkarachedu Varaprasad wishes to acknowledge the Programa de Atracción e Inserciun de Capital Humano Avanzado (PAI) Proyecto No. 781302011, CONICYT, Chile and the CIPA, CONICYT Regional PRFC0002. Publisher Copyright: © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.For the first time, green-tea (GT)-based magnetic nanohydrogels were developed for drug-delivery purposes. The hydrogel matrices were fabricated via the in situ polymerization of acrylamide with GT molecules. Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by the reduction of the 1:2 molar ratio mixture of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and ferric chloride hexahydrate with an ammonia solution. A chemotherapeutic drug, 5-fluorouracil, was chosen as a model drug, and its releasing profiles in the presence and absence of the external magnetic field were evaluated at a pH of 7.4. We observed that in the presence of the applied magnetic field, these magnetic nanohydrogels released 2.86% more drug than in the absence of a magnetic field. The magnetic nanohydrogels were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and transmission electron microscopy

Singaporeâ s vision of the 21st century library service
No full textKeynote address at A-LIEP 2006.The article scans global and library trends to discuss the future of 21st century libraries. In spite of both the importance and difficulty of addressing the future of libraries, there has been no shortage of attempts to do so. The author draws insights from leading futurist to articulate the relevance of libraries in Singapore. Libraries are important in the context of the evolving experience economy in capturing tacit knowledge and understanding learning patterns. The author posits that library education in the future would have to incorporate both tacit and explicit knowledge management
