Solid Lipid Nanoparticles: A Potential Approach for Dermal Drug Delivery
No full textSolid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have attracted increasing attention during recent years. Due to their
unique size dependent properties, lipid nanoparticles offer possibilities to develop new therapeutics. The ability to
incorporate drugs into nanoparticles offers a new prototype in drug delivery thus realizing the dual goal of both
controlled release and site-specific drug delivery. Drug delivery to the skin is widely used for local and systemic
delivery and has potential to be improved by application of nanoparticulate formulations. If investigated
appropriately, solid lipid nanoparticles may open new opportunities in therapy of complex diseases which is difficult
to treat
Validation of remote sensing derived ice-thickness with in-situ Lake Bathymetry in the recently vacated area of gepang-gath glacier, Lahaul Himalaya, India
No full textField observations provide authenticity in remote sensing studies when it comes to glacierized areas where weather conditions and terrain are not accessible. This study is an attempt to validate the relation between the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) ice thickness and DEM through a field survey in the recently vacated area occupied by the moraine-dammed proglacial lake of the rapidly retreating Gepang-Gath glacier in the Lahaul Himalaya. We used Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) version-6 data of ice thickness for Gepang-Gath glacier with SRTM digital elevation model (DEM) of the year 2000 and Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry-based DEM of the year 2020 to calculate the lake depth. This relation is validated with ground-based investigation and lake bathymetry data collected using a kayak and metallic nob tied with rope and measuring tape in June 2021 where the maximum depth of the lake is 48 m. The SRTM-DEM profile and ice thickness data suggested that the Gepang-Gath glacial lake will expand ~2 km with a maximum depth of ± 10 m measured near the snout. As this lake is potentially vulnerable, this type of study will help measure lake depth using snout height and vice-versa with the help of DEM data to avoid hazards in feeding glaciers retreating
Power Trading and Congestion Management Through Real Power Rescheduling Using Unified Power Flow Controller
No full textCongestion is termed as the operating condition in which there is not enough transmission capacity to implement all the desired transactions. This paper deals with the power trading in electricity market to ensure regular supply at competitive rates. Bidding process of 75 Indian bus systems is analyzed. It is shown that how can congestion cost can be addressed through active power rescheduling with transmission line constraints using Unified power flow controller
FOREST CANOPY DENSITY ASSESSMENT USING HIGH RESOLUTION LISS-4 DATA IN YAMUNANAGAR DISTRICT, HARYANA
Get PDFForest plays an important role not only in providing ecological services but also economic goods to human beings. However, with increase in population there is a wide gap between demand and supply of these goods and services. This has lead to reduction in forest cover which needs to be taken care on regular time interval. To manage the existing forest area and also to increase the forest cover Forest Canopy Density (FCD) methodology is the main factor which was given by International Tropical timber Organization (ITTO). High resolution remote sensing LISS-4 data gives us chance to assess the quality of forest in terms of FCD as Rikimaru et al (1999) stated that FCD is one important parameter to assess forest cover quality. High resolution LISS-4 data analysis for FCD was never attempted before. Authors here attempted to assess the FCD utilizing methodology adopted by Rikimaru (1999), Huang (2001), Azizia (2008). The adopted methodology is one of the most efficient and cost effective way to derive the FCD. For this study Resourcesat-2 LISS-4 post monsoon data of year 2017 for Yamunanagar district was used to assess FCD within notified forest boundary. Notified forest boundaries at cadastral level prepared previously by Haryana Space Applications Centre (HARSAC) was used. The degree of forest canopy density is expressed in percentages: i.e. < 10% FCD (scrub land), 10–20% (Open Forest-I), 20–40% (Open Forest-II), 40–60% (Moderate Dense), 60–80% (Medium Dense) and > 80% (Highly Dense). Forest Canopy Density was based on three indices i.e. Advanced Vegetation Index (AVI), Bare Soil Index (BSI) and Canopy Shadow Index (CSI). Accuracy assessment was done based on ground data and comparison with Coterminous Google Earth imagery and it was found that the devised methodology has achieved overall accuracy of 93% with kappa coefficient of 0.9153. The result shows that maximum forest area in Yamunanagar district is in medium dense FCD category which is approximately 23948.08 acres. This study tells us that 24.2% of the total forest area is under scrub land and open forest which should be focussed for activities in working plan to increase the forest cover. This paper highlights the utility of high resolution satellite data for monitoring and management of forest and improvement in its quality. This attempt provided large scale (1 : 10,000) maps to the forest managers to better equip them in planning for afforestation, reforestation and rehabilitation of water logged areas, environment management and their future aspect
