  • Contribution of Bengal in Freedom Struggle by CDT Nikita Maity Reg No
    Contribution of Bengal in freedom struggle By CDT Nikita Maity Reg No: WB19SWN136584 No 1 Bengal Naval NCC Unit Kol-C, WB&Sikkim Directorate Freedom is something which given to every organism who has born on this Earth. It is that right which is given to everyone irrespective of anything. India (Bharat) was one of prosperous country of the world and people from different parts of world had come to rule over her, want to take her culture and heritage but she had always been brave and protected herself from various invaders. The last and the worst invader was British East India Company. BEIC not only drained India‟s wealth but also had destroyed our rich culture and knowledge. They had tried to completely destroy India in every aspect. But we Indian were not going to let them be successful in their dirty plan. Every section of Indian society had revolved in their own way. One of the major and consistent revolved was going in then Bengal province. In Bengal, from writer to fighter and from men to women everyone had given everything for freedom. One of the prominent forefront freedom fighter was Netaji Shubhas Chandra Bose. Netaji was born on 23rd January, 1897 in Cuttack. He had studied in Presidency College. In 1920 he passed the civil service examination, but in April 1921, after hearing of the nationalist turmoil in India, he resigned his candidacy and hurried back to India. He started the newspaper 'Swaraj'. He was founder of Indian National Army(INA) or Azad Hind Fauj. There was also an all-women regiment named after Rani of Jhanshi, Lakshmibai.

In general SMF devices can be with single-mode fiber optics for delivering new implementations classified into continuous fiber devices and fiber-gap devices. of well-known single-mode optical fiber devices. The ability of a This classification also extends to SMF optofluidic devices. In fluid to be easily shaped to different geometries plus the ability to this paper we review the full range of SMF optofluidic devices have its optical properties easily changed via concentration reported to date. Sections II and III examine the modifications changes or an applied electrical or magnetic field offers potential benefits such as no mechanical moving parts, miniaturization, required to the standard SMF to achieve interaction of a fluid increased sensitivity and lower costs. However, device fabrication with the guided light for both continuous fiber and fiber-gap and operation can be more complex than in established single- devices.

First, I would like to express my gratitude to my PhD advisor Prof. Changhuei Yang for offering me a chance to work on an emerging research field of optofluidics and participate in the development of optofluidic microscopy (OFM), which leads to many successful results. His guidance has led the OFM project from an elegant engineering idea to reality. His enthusiasm and creativity in conducting academic research is forever young, motivating us to pursue excellence in our projects. I thank him for introducing me to biophotonics and allowing me to play a role in contributing to the field. I want to thank Prof. Yu-Chong Tai for being my thesis committee chair. His pioneering work in MEMS has always been my motivation to pursue something ‘big’ in the world of ‘small’. You will find yourself learning something new every time you interact with him, not only in science but also in life. I want to thank Prof. Chin-Lin Guo for the discussion after the committee meeting. I find his advice very useful.

    COLL 1 Cytosolic internalization of luminescent quantum dots Hedi M. Mattoussi1, [email protected], Anshika Kapur1, Goutam Palui1, Wentao Wang1, Scott Medina2, Joel Schneider2. (1) Chem Biochem, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, United States (2) Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, , Frederick, Maryland, United States The remarkable progress made over the past two decades to grow inorganic nanomaterials, combined with careful surface functionalization strategies offer an opportunity to develop novel platforms for use in molecular imaging and as diagnostic tools. A successful integration into biological systems requires devising strategies to promote their intracellular uptake while circumventing endocytosis. We report on the use of an amphiphilic anti-microbial peptide as means of promoting the cytosolic uptake of luminescent QDs. The peptide is synthesized with a terminal cysteine to allow conjugation onto QDs that have been coated with multifunctional metal-coordinating ligands. Using fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry we find that incubating cells with the QD-peptide leads to delivery into the cytoplasm without affecting the cellular morphology or viability. We observed a homogeneous distribution of QD staining throughout the cytoplasm and without co-localization with labelled endosomes. Additional experiments where endocytosis has been eliminated (such as pre-treatment with specific inhibitors) have shown minimal effects on the intracellular QD uptake.

  • Social Entrepreneurship Dr
    Social Entrepreneurship Dr. Jack M. Wilson, Distinguished Professor of Higher Education, Emerging Technologies, and Innovation Entrepreneurship: © 2012 ff -Jack M. Wilson Distinguished Professor Social Entrepreneurship 1 Social Entrepreneurs -”No margin? No mission!” • Social Entrepreneurs use many of the same techniques as the other forms. • The key difference is that their primary goal is to meet social needs rather than financial profit. • However, they do need to make the enterprise financially sustainable and thus they have to attend to revenues, expenses and profits like anyone else. – If there is no margin (profit or surplus), then there is no mission. • They can organize as a non-profit and support the enterprise, at least in part, through charitable donations to the mission. Mother Teresa organized her enterprise in this way. • They can also organize as a for-profit as did Harish Hande, Muhammad Yunas, and d-Light. Entrepreneurship: © 2012 ff -Jack M. Wilson Distinguished Professor Social Entrepreneurship 2 Large Corporations • Large Corporations will often become involved in some kinds of Social Enterprise. • They often do this through a sense of corporate responsibility toward the communities in which they operate. • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an important part of their operation and is often required by communities as part of their license to operate. • The triple bottom line encourages companies to focus on more than the bottom line of profits. It includes – 1. Social, – 2. Environmental, and – 3) Financial results. • Engaging with the community can sometimes be challenging. In many cases the company may be engaging with individuals who are leading bitter protests towards the company.
