Dr. James Hamby Director, Indianapolis—Marion County Forensic Services Agency 40 S Alabama Street Indianapolis IN 46204 USA 4 - RESEARCH EXPERIENCE: I started my research career in 1975. When I joined Dr. Feroza Baig's laboratory for my M.Sc thesis. During stay in her laboratory I worked on various aspects of effects of Chlorocholine Chloride (CCC, a synthetic growth regulator) on the growth of wheat. This work involved the use of different biochemical techniques commonly employed in research on the biochemistry of protein and DNA enzymes. After my M.Sc thesis in 1979. I joined Dr. Riazuddin's laboratory in Faisalabad to work for my Ph.D thesis on the enzymology of DNA repair. As part of my Ph.D thesis project, I spent one year in Dr. J. Laval's laboratory at Institute Gustave Roussy, Paris and four months in Dr. R. J. Roberts's laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, New York, USA. My training in Villejuif and New York exposed me to experiences involving the use of a number of molecular biological techniques commonly used in recombinant DNA research. In 1983, when Dr. Riazuddin moved to Lahore to establish a new laboratory for advanced molecular biology at the University of the Punjab, I moved with him to Lahore and initiated a new programme of research on the biodegradation of long chain hydrocarbons. As a result of input into this programme, 60 bacterial isolates from different ecological environments in Pakistan have been collected, taxonomically identified and their potential to degrade aliphatic/aromatic hydrocarbons are being studied. In 1988, I proceeded to USA for a postdoctoral in Dr. Mark A. Schell's laboratory at UGA, Athens, Georgia, USA under financial support from USAID. During stay in Mark Schell's lab., I studied the expression and excretion of Polyglucoturonase (PGase) of Pseudomonas solanacerum. Different sequences of PGase were deleted with Ba131 to study the role of different sequences in excretion. PGase deletions were fused with alkaline phosphatase or catechol 2.3-oxygenase as reporter gene to detect translocation of deleted PGase into different compartments of E. coli and Pseudomonas. These fusions were constructed into pUC9 and excretion was studied in E. coli JM 107. The fusions were then subcloned into pRK404 (a mobilizable vector). E. coli JM 107 was transformed with these constructions and then conjugated with Pseudomonas solanacerum's PGase to determine the effect of deletions on the excretion. In 1990, I went to Seattle to study molecular biology of degradation of 2,4- Dichlorophenol and Trichloroethylene in plants in Milton P. Gordon,s laboratory. Transgenic tobacco plants were made by Agrobacterium mediated transformation of N. Tabaccum (xanthi) with a Ti vector containing two genes (2,4-DCP Hydroxylase and Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase) for the degradation of 2,4-Dichlorophenol. N. gluaca plants were also transformed with the same constructs. The degradation of 2,4-DCP and TCE was also studied in Poplar plants. Since TCE can contaminate aquifers, therefore, long root system of Poplar can present a remedy to clean the contaminated sites. All these studies were conducted in hydroponic conditions. In 1995, a project was started to study the synthesis of stress proteins induced by xenobiotics (toxic chemicals) in E. coli. The objective is to identify specific pollutants by identifying stress proteins induced by those toxic chemicals. The ultimate aim is to develop ELISA and dip-stick tests for the identification of toxic chemicals. The stress proteins are identified and purified with two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel 5 - electrophoresis. The waste of synthetic plastic poses threats to our ecosystem as well as human health. The concept of biodegradable plastic produced by microbes or plants has become a hot area for research. In 1997, production of biological polymer from bacteria was started. A number of Pseudomonas and Bacillus species were isolated which produces poly hydroxyl butyric acid (PHB) polymers. The composition is analyzed by GC and IR spectroscopy. Large-scale isolation of PHB is in process. A program was launched to upgrade the R&D activities of the Centre. Upgradation contains the capacity building programme for commercial production of value added products i.e. a) production of industrial enzymes, b) production of disease free potato seed and c) increase the number of M.Phil./ Ph.D. students to meet the demand of growing biotechnology industry. With 24 years experience of DNA analysis, a new concept of forensic DNA genotyping of evidence materials of criminal cases has been initiated after validation of SOPs. The infrastructure established at CAMB is comparable to any good laboratory worldwide. After validation, SOP’s have been implemented for casework. Similarly, cutting edge technology of single nucleotide polymorphism, y-chromosome analysis and mitochondrial DNA analysis has been initiated. These state of the art technologies are believed to improve criminal identification tremendously in future. The development of DNA database of convicted offenders has been initiated. This database will help law and order agencies in tracing the criminals and eventually reduction in crime rate is anticipated. Presently, my group of forensic science is constituted of, fivePh.D. students. Presently, involved in the development of multiplex of Y- Chromosome STR‘s which will help not only the identification of sexual offenders as well as population migration of the past. Genotyping is also being validated for the analysis of trisomy or other chromosomal abnormalities. Initiative have been made to develop a discipline of Forensic Science and Molecular Biology at University of the Punjab. Planning and Developmental Experience Construction

  • (Dr) Utpal K Banerjee
    About the Book IGNCA is a treasure-trove of cultural artifacts including a rich repository of Video documentaries (published) and Audio and Video DVDs (unpublished). This book – based on the author’s two-year project -- envisions an on-line A-V cultural archive KALASAMPADA that consists of A-V materials stored at IGNCA for the categories of: Interviews; Ritual Documentation; Archaeological Sites and Walk-through; Events; Festivals; Performances (music-dance-theatre-puppetry-mime); Lectures; Seminars; and Workshops. In order to make such a wide variety of materials available on-line – initially on the Intranet, subsequently on a potential Extranet, and eventually (although very selectively) on the Internet – the following digitisation road-map is observed in the project: Conversion of primary A-V materials from analogue to digital format; Creation of data sheets for metadata tagging, following the international standard of Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES); Integration of metadata with primary A-V material in IGNCA’s Intranet; Access and retrieval by “simple search” with keywords for casual browsers and “advanced search” for users, researchers and scholars with reference to groups of keywords from the intranet. The objectives of the project of on-line A-V cultural archive are: to bring it into public domain; to make it inter-active for scholars; and to make it internationally compatible. Basic advantages of such a project are really five-fold. First, a digital A-V archive assures the near permanent durability of the A-V material. Secondly, it allows need-based quality enhancement. Thirdly, an archive of this kind makes room for highly economic storage of vulnerable Audio and Video files.

Is it atomic weapons, or ahimsa? A land struggling against poverty and inequality, or the world’s largest middle-class society? Is it still simmering with communal tensions, or history’s most successful melting pot? Is it Bollywood or Satyajit Ray? Swetta Chetty or Alla Rakha? Is it the handloom or the hyperlink?” US President Bill Clinton in an address to the joint session of the Indian Parliament New Delhi, India, 22 March 2000 INDIA: A RISING POWER 01 INTRODUCTION IN LATE MAY 2005, the President of India, A P J Abdul Kalam, was on a state visit to Switzerland. Reportedly, he surprised his Swiss counterpart, Samuel Schmid, by offering him a gift. In itself this was not an unusual incident. It is, after all, expected from the head of state of a developing country like India to bear traditional gifts that reflect its rich and ancient civilization. What made this incident unusual was the nature of the gift.

New York, NY 10019 212-757-8060 E-mail: [email protected] RAVISHANKAR'S achievements in the Indian music firmament are matched only by his international influence. Fained as the man who popularized Indian music in the West, his life has really been devoted to mu- tual exchange and enlightenment between all nations of the world. George Harrison dubs him the "Godfather of World Music." His 75th birthday was recently commemorated with the release of Ravi:In Celebration,a 4-CD box set spanning his ground-breaking career. He continues to perform in concert halls around the world and is currently readying his autobiography, Raga Mala. He was born Robindra Shankar in Benares, United Province, on April 7, 1920, the youngest of four brothers who survived to adulthood. His father Shyam Shankar was an eminent scholar, statesman, and lawyer but was absent for most of his childhood. The young Shankar (nicknamed "Robu") was therefore raised by his mother in some poverty. His eldest brother, the legendary dancer Uday Shankar, was already in Europe, dancing with Anna Pavolva before establishing his own Indian dance troupe.
