Stephen Harper's -view on- Libraries

Canada Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that the Govt of Canada and the city of Toronto will work together to fight the recession, create jobs and improve infrastructure by making improvements to the Toronto Reference Library.
" For decades the Toronto Reference Library has been an important resource for millions of visitors of all ages"

Digital technology is transforming how we access and use information. The vessels that have traditionally prreserved knowledge are changing. Yet, the importance of our libraries as physical places where people gather to learn hasn't diminished.
He also stated - much has changed, however, since I first came to this library as a student in 1977. To meet these challenges an ambitious revitalization effort is needed. Or as any librarian here might put it, renovations to the reference Library are long overdue. We must stay on course, complete the implementationof our plan and finish the job of building the foundations of Canada's future prosperity.

STORY BEHIND H1N1 VACCINE

Fear over the H1N1 virus spreading the globe is every body aware, even suggested that the swine flu virus is not as deadly as initially feared. Now it has become necessity taking steps to produce vaccine.
WHO now termed it as “unstoppable”
Normally, it takes about 25 weeks for a new influenza virus to cover the globe. But H1N1 reached all continents within 9 weeks.
“ The flu transmission did not stop even after the hot summer / temperature raises, and studies also indicating that “ PEOPLE BORN AFTER 1975 WERE MORE VULNERABLE DUE TO INABILITY OF IMMUNE SYSTEM “
When we eye on more details on vaccine preparation, the technology includes “ CELL CULTURE BASED and EGG CULTURED BASED" technology to create an H1V1 Vaccine.

The first step for in the vaccine production is the making of the “seed” virus. It has been prepared from Mexico and California H1N1 strains.
This seed virus is supplied to vaccine manufacturers which were chosen by WHO. In our India Pune based Serum Institute of India taken the responsibility of preparation of vaccine with crack team of 16 scientists.
The seed viruses from various strains are then prepared to be ready for vaccine production by a process called “assortment”.
These assorted viruses are then injected into specially prepared pathogen – free, fertile chicken eggs. The safe virus grows inside the eggs for 4-6 weeks time.
Then viruses are extracted from the eggs, purified and inactivated and then formulated into a vaccine
The normal dosage of influenza vaccine is 15mg. From each chicken egg, one dose of influenza vaccine is produced. Some times two eggs my be required to produce each dose.
India’s largest poultry maker Venkateshwara Hatcheries currently supplying 100,000 pathogen-free eggs. But in urgent requirement they will be able to supply up to 2.5 million eggs in a month.
Lets hope Serum institute should develop an influenza vaccine in the shortest possible time and make safe millions of global citizens. (source: Tech. Rev. Aug 2009………………..)

SCAN WITHOUT SCANNER ??? ! ! ! ...

Dear Professionals, can you imagine scan a document without a scanner? You may not believe, Yes you can… now, with the help of your digital Camera? Still you not believe. Let us see how? Till now we are utilizing our Digital camera for taking photographs and some other purpose. Other than taking photos you can also scan your documents, photographs, Books, White and Black boards, your visiting cards, what ever the image you have in your digital camera. All you need it one software i.e. Snapter, is a software that will help you use a digital camera as a mobile scanner. This software automatically crops, stretches, flattens, and converts photos of documents, whiteboards, posters, business cards and receipts into more portable images. Wherever you are, either in Conference, Class room or in Library just take a snap and run it through the Snapter, images looks like as been scanned through the flat bed scanner.
Software free versions also available. But for the first 14 days it will work. After that also it will work in functional, but it will add light watermark on your images. If it is not good enough for your documents, then you have to buy software. Visit http://www.atiz.com/buy/ . Free version is also good enough for you. Now let me ask is it believable? or not? Now you imagine when you are in friends house, if you find any book or magazine wishing to scan it and save it for later. On the spot, is it possible to bring any scanner and make scan? It is not. Take out your digital camera or your digital mobile wave it and run the image through the OCR Software and save it. To down load visit http://snapter.atiz.com/ .
Enjoy the images.
Thank you.

UGC JRF = entry-level IAS

UGC decided to increase the scholarship amount for JRF by 35 to 40%.
Now researchers get money almost equivalent to basic pay of Rs 20,800 per month — of entry-level Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officials and assistant professors.
UGC also decided to hike scholarships for women pursuing post-doctoral fellowship by about four times.
Now women without research experience will get Rs 25,000 (which was Rs 6,000 earlier) while those with experience will get Rs 30,000 per month as against Rs 8,000 earlier.
The commission, earlier this month, decided that junior research scholars will now get Rs 16,000 per month (Rs 12,000 earlier) for first two years and Rs 20,000 (Rs 14,000 earlier) for the next three years.
The physically challenged researchers will get an escort allowance of Rs 2,000 per month along with the scholarship.“The scholarship amount has been enhanced so that scholars don’t leave mid-day to join teaching,” UGC chairperson Sukhdeo Thorat said.
The new amount of scholorship to be available to 6,500 researchers every year (doubled as compared to last year) — will be applicable from the new academic year 2009-10.
Only students who have cleared the National Eligibility Test will be eligible for the scholarships. The proposal to enhance the scholarship was taken after a recommendation by RP Aggarwal, Higher Education Secretary in the HRD ministry. “The fellowship amount should be increased to 50 per cent subject to the condition that it is less than initial pay for a fresh appointee as assistant professor,” Aggarwal had told UGC in letter on July 30.
With this, the UGC is looking to meet the demand for faculty with requisite research credentials and PhD degrees.

AN ANOTHER InFlUeNzA- swine

On April 26, the Acting Secretary of HHS declared a public health emergency related to the current outbreak of "swine flu" (now designated "novel 2009 H1N1"). In response to this public health emergency, the CDC requested Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the use of Tamiflu and Relenza for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza for broader populations than are currently included in the product labeling, including pediatric populations, and others who fall outside of the indicated uses.

Influenza viruses cause serious, sometimes fatal, disease in immunocompromised patients, including HIV infected infants, toddlers, and young children.

Currently, Relenza is approved to treat acute uncomplicated illnesses due to influenza in adults and children 7 years and older who have been symptomatic for less than two days, and for the prevention of influenza in adults and children 5 years and older. Tamiflu is approved for the treatment and prevention of influenza in patients 1 year and older.

The EUAs allow for Tamiflu also to be used to treat and prevent influenza in children under 1 year, and to provide alternative dosing recommendations for children older than 1 year. In addition, under the EUAs, both medications may be distributed to large segments of the population without complying with the label requirements otherwise applicable to dispensed drugs, and accompanied by written information pertaining to the emergency use. They may also be distributed by a broader range of health care workers, including some public health officials and volunteers, in accordance with applicable state and local laws and/or public health emergency responses.

These temporary extensions of the indication, which will terminate when the emergency no longer exists, are summarized below:
1. Use of Tamiflu for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza in infants <>


The Tamiflu Oral Suspension bottle comes with a dispenser marked for 30, 45, or 60 mg. For children who weigh more than 40 kg (or 88 lbs) or adults who can’t swallow capsules, you will need to measure out a dose of 30 mg plus another dose of 45 mg. For infants less than 1 year old, a different measuring device must be used that will dispense 2 mL (about 25 mg), 1.6 mL (about 20 mg) or 1 mL (12 mg).

Doses for prevention of the novel 2009 H1N1 are the same for each weight group, but doses are administered only once per day rather than twice. Prevention dosages should be taken for 10 days following close contact with an infected person or during a community outbreak.

2. Use of Tamiflu and Relenza in patients not included in the current labeling. These drugs are currently indicated for use in patients with acute, uncomplicated influenza who have had symptoms for <>
More detailed information about Influenza Antiviral Drugs is available on the FDA web site at http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/antivirals/influenza/default.htm

The TAMIFLU® FACT SHEET FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS contains information specific to the expanded pediatric dosing recommendations for Tamiflu.

NOTE: 75mg once daily for 10 days is the prophylactic dose of Tamiflu, for adults,recommended by USFDA for Swine flu.

World Intellectual Property Day 2009 – Green Innovation

Human activity, including decades of technological development, has damaged our planet. Wide-spread pollution and spiraling consumption of the world’s mineral and biological reserves have put unprecedented stress on the environment. Climate change is one of the greatest threats ever faced by society: glaciers are disappearing; desertification is increasing; in Africa alone, between 75 and 250 million people will face increased water shortages by 2020.

As human activity caused the problem, so too can human activity find the solutions.

Green innovation – the development and diffusion of technological means to tackle climate change – is key to halting the depletion of the earth’s resources. New plant varieties are being developed to withstand drought and flooding. New environmentally friendly materials will help us construct a more sustainable world.

On World IP Day 2009, the World Intellectual Property Organization highlights the contribution of a balanced intellectual property system to stimulating the creation, diffusion and application of clean technologies; to promoting green design, aimed at creating products that are eco-friendly from conception to disposal; to green branding, helping consumers make informed choices and giving companies a competitive edge.

The power of human ingenuity is our best hope for restoring the delicate balance between ourselves and our environment. It is our greatest asset in finding solutions to this global challenge, enabling us to move forward from the carbon-based, grey technologies of the past to the carbon-neutral, green innovation of the future.
