No full textSatish Kumar shows how development and religion have grown together in some of the significant responses of religions to the rapid changes modernity has produced. He discusses the inspirations, goals and movements that followed a Gandhian view, Buddhism, Liberation Theology and the teachings of Gaia.

Religious Environmentalism: Thomas Berry, the Bishnoi, and Satish Kumar
No full textThis article explores two thinkers and one movement involved with religious environmentalism. Thomas Berry drew from the world’s religious traditions and a depth study of science to develop what he refers to as “The New Story,” a narrative that encourages the cultivation of intimacy with nature, leading to an appropriate ethical response. The Bishnoi movement, which originated in fifteenth-century India, sets forth a pre-modern paradigm, still widely observed in northern India, for dealing with threats to local eco-systems. Satish Kumar, a former monk and post-Gandhian activist, invokes the ideas and practices of Jainism in developing an environmental action plan. These examples demonstrate the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural aspects of religious environmentalism

Chemical and Hemodynamic Effects of Disodium-Monopotassium Phosphate Infusion in Dogs
No full textBinger (1) in 1917 reported the production of tetany in dogs by the intravenous injection of O-phosphates in amounts equivalent to 150 mg. of phosphorus per kilogram of body weight. There was drop of serum calcium from the normal level of 10 mg./100 cc. blood to approximately 6 mg./100 cc. blood. | In 1930 Bulger (2) and his coworkers observed that the oral administration of inorganic phosphate decreased the hypercalcemia in two patients with hyperparathyroidism. Two years later, Albright et al (3) confirmed this observation in two additional patients with hyperparathyroidism. In 1965, Goldsmith and Ingbar (4) suggested the treatment of hypercalcemia with small phosphate supplements. | Recently there has been increasing clinical interest in treating hypercalcemia of various etiologies in humans with oral or intravenous phosphate administration. In 1966, Goldsmith and Ingbar (5) reported a series of 20 hypercalcemie patients in whom phosphate safely lowered the serum calcium. | Subsequently, Shackney and Hasson (6) in 1967, reported serious side effects with phosphate administration, particularly hypotension and renal failure. To our knowledge, however, no study has been done in detail to evaluate the chemical and hemodynamic effects of phosphate infusion in dogs. | The present study was undertaken, therefore, to determine the effects of intravenous phosphate infusion on blood chemistries particularly serum calcium, phosphorus, potassium and blood urea nitrogen. In order that this drug may be evaluated subsequently as a therapeutic agent for digitalis toxicity, hemodynamic effects including cardiac outputs, pulmonary and systemic arterial pressures and resistances were also studied in detail.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

Interfacing of Grid Connected Wind Energy Conversion System Based on PMSG through NPC Inverter
No full textWind energy is a prominent area of application of variable speed generators operating on the constant grid frequency. This paper describes the simulation, operation and control of one of these variable speed wind generators the direct driven permanent magnet synchronous generator PMSG . This generator is connected to the off grid load. The generator is controlled to obtain maximum power from the incident wind with maximum efficiency under different load conditions. Pitch angle control is designed to extract the power from the wind when speed is more than the base speed. This paper shows the dynamic performance of the complete system. Different tests in a 8.5 kW prototype have been carried out to verify the benefits of the proposed system.

Mineral chemistry of Ti-rich biotite from pegmatite and metapelitic granulites of the Kerala Khondalite Belt (southeast India): Petrology and further insight into titanium substitutions
No full textPrecise chemical composition, including Fe3+ and H, of biotite from a pegmatite dike and its host granulite from the Kerala Khondalite Belt of SE India has been determined using a multi-technique approach involving EMP, SIMS, Mossbauer, and C-H-N elemental analysis. Biotite in these rocks formed at T> 800-850 degrees C and P = 5 +/- 1 kbar.
The full analyses were normalized on the basis of [O12-(x+y+z)(OH)(x)ClyFz]. Biotite in the pegmatite is Ti-, F-, and Cl-rich (0.33, 0.46, and 0.16 apfu, respectively), H2O-Poor (OH = 0.86 pfu), has X-Mg= 0.49 and Fe3+/Fe-tot <= 3%. The low octahedral vacancies (0.06 pfu) and the high oxygen content in the hydroxyl site (OH + F + Cl = 1.49 pfu) confirm the role of the Ti-oxy substitution as a major exchange vector in these high-T biotites.
In the host granulite, fine-grained biotite is Fe3+-free, has low Cl (0.03 apfu), and more variable composition, with Ti, F, and X-Mg in the ranges 0.26-0.36, 0.52-0.67, and 0.67-0.77, respectively. The number of octahedral vacancies is relatively large (0.10-0.18 pfu) and the sum of volatiles (OH + F + Cl) varies from 1.71 to 2.06 pfu. Systematic variations of X-Mg are a function of the microstructural position and are in agreement with retrograde exchange reactions: biotite included in or in contact with garnet has the maximum values, whereas crystals in the matrix have the minima. Titanium has systematic negative correlations with F, X-Mg, and (OH + F + Cl), whereas Al and octahedral vacancies are virtually constant.
These trends indicate that the Ti-vacancy, along with substitutions involving Al, cannot explain the observed short-scale variations. Conversely, the Ti-oxy exchange appears to be active, resulting from combination of two vectors: the more conventional hydroxylation Ti4+ + 2O(2-) = (Fe,Mg)(2+) + 2OH(-) and the "fluorination" Ti4+ + 2O(2-) = (Fe,Mg)(2+) + 2F(-). The systematic retrograde redistribution involves not only Fe and Mg as commonly observed, but also Ti, F, and H, in a way such to eliminate the primary Ti-oxy component of biotite
Carbon isotope anatomy of a single graphite crystal in a metapelitic migmatite revealed by high-spatial resolution SIMS analysis
No full textHigh-spatial resolution carbon isotope analyses of natural graphite using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), together with conventional mass spectrometry techniques, demonstrate isotopic heterogeneity within single graphite crystals precipitated from a partially melted metamorphic rock. SIMS (13)C/(12)C measurements were calibrated using an internal graphite standard previously analyzed by conventional isotope ratio mass spectrometry, which gave a reproducibility of 0.3aEuro degrees (1 sigma) at a spatial resolution of 2-3 mu m. This resolution helped to identify an unusual carbon isotope distribution in a single graphite crystal from a metapelitic leucosome, showing remarkable core to rim variations with sharp delta(13)C steps up to 10aEuro degrees. The results suggest that the graphite crystal grew from one edge to other forming layers perpendicular to the c-axis. The sharp isotopic steps indicate the presence of disequilibrium carbon isotope zoning in graphite and points to the possible existence of carbon isotope sector zoning. Intra-crystalline carbon isotope disequilibrium in graphite is believed to have resulted from the difference in diffusivity between (12)C and (13)C in the growth medium to the interface of graphite precipitation in different growth sectors
