 Abstract

American pioneers were the early settlers who came from Europe and other countries in search of the American dream of a new life full of possibilities . They embraced the unknown, charted unexplored territories and struggled to rewrite their destinies. And yet, the pioneering activity is usually presented as a male enterprise either ignoring the role of women or presenting them as weak, worn and unwilling partners . However, the literature written by women presents an entirely different picture providing a fresh perspective on the positive contribution of the women in the pioneer experience and nation building. The present paper examines two novels by Willa Cather, O Pioneers!(1913) and My Antonia (1918) , to get a feminist view of the dominant male discourse of the pioneers and their early lives in America. Cather moved to America as a nine year old child with her family and had a first hand experience of the hardships she has described in her novels. Her life in the frontier state of Nebraska during her formative years influenced and informed her literary style in describing the immigrant experience amidst the vastness of the western plains.

 Abstract

An adhesive is a substance which when applied to the surfaces of materials binds that surfaces together and resists separation. The strength of the adhesive joints under impact loads has become more important because of their huge use to the aircraft and automobile industries. In industries, adhesives are used to join the dissimilar or same material. But when those joined material comes under use, it may rupture or may not rupture. It depends on the how much load has been applied on the joint, type of adhesive material used for joining and the contact area of the two material. Joint failures contribute major cause of machinery breakdown resulting in costly down time. To prevent that, we should know the strength of the adhesive joint for that two particular material

 Abstract

A century old Ferroelectric materials possess spontaneous polarization , are dielectric, piezoelectric, pyro electric and also show hysteresis. They are used as memory devices, optical phase conjugate, medical, non-medical sensors, Nano probes & hologram recording more over show a second harmonic generation. Researchers may change the focus from applied research to blue sky research with the phenomenological change in the approach that invite not only inter- disciplinary but also trans- disciplinary . The review urged the researchers to adopt chemical, physical and /or biological methods to fabricate lead free pure,doped KNbO3 in a Nano range with academic & commercial interests.

 Abstract

Urban lakes are an integral part of water resources for people living in urban areas and economic resources for fishermen and industrialists. But in recent decades urban lakes are encroached and converted into house plots, buildings, commercial purposes and also polluted due to industrial activities, chemical-intensive agriculture activities, and high population explosion are main causes for contamination of freshwater bodies. These activities affect the lake aquatic life, ecosystem services and reduce the water storage capacity of lakes. It was the main reason for the water shortage problem in urban cities. Hence, this paper seeks to find out the causes and consequences of lakes pollution in Coimbatore city through discussion with fishermen and households nearby lakes. This study is descriptive in nature and data gathered from Public Work Department, various reports and Newspaper. This paper reveals that fishermen are highly affected due to urban lake pollution because they are more economically depend on lakes for their livelihood. Moreover, the presence of lake gives us economic, environmental values and provides food security.

 Abstract

The poor water solubility is the main reason for poor oral bioavailability and it causes research and development more difficult. There are different methods for the improvement of solubility such as amorphization, crystal modification, micronization, self-emulsification, cyclodextrin complexation, and pH modification. There is various difficulty of improvement of water solubility of poor water-soluble drug according to different routes of administration. An estimated 40% of approved drugs and nearly 90% of the developmental pipeline drugs consist of poorly soluble molecules. Several marketed drugs suffer from poor solubility, low permeability, rapid metabolism and elimination from the body along with poor safety and tolerability. Poor aqueous solubility, and consequently also poor dissolution rate, is a major challenge specifically in the systemic delivery of orally administered BCS class II and IV drugs. A better knowledge of biopharmaceutical and physiochemical property of drug and their limitation helpful for efficient formulation development for poorly water-soluble drugs. The article describes studies on design and development of poorly water soluble NSAID drug by oral drug delivery system

 Abstract

The use of herbal remedies was well-known in ancient societies. These were used for food, medicine, or cosmetics. Flower, leaf, fruit, root, bark, inner stem, wood, beans, rhizome, endosperm, bulb, seed or whole plant are used to produce bioactive ingredients. Demand for herbal products and cosmetics is growing day by day due to the high health risks of synthetic ingredients which also contribute to environmental damage. Besides cosmetic, cosmetic bioactive ingredients act as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial agents. These bioactive ingredients include vitamins, antioxidants, fats, dyes, tannins, alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, terpenoids and much more. The most important feature of herbal cosmetics is that they have no side effects. Herbal cosmetic has a growing demand in the global market and is a valuable gift of nature. Herbal remedies always draw a lot of attention because of their good workmanship and side effects when they are compared or mean nothing to synthetic drugs. Herbs and spices are used to preserve and enhance human beauty. Indian women have long used herbs such as sandalwood and turmeric for skin care, Henna for hair color, palms, and feet; and natural oils for their bodies. The industry is now focused on a growing segment with a wide range of varied growth in the coming years. Herbal cosmetics are described as beauty products that have desirable physical properties such as healing, smooth appearance, enhancement and cooling properties due to the herbal ingredient. Here we have reported on the introduction, separation, common remedies used in cosmetics.
