Current Scenario and Prospects of Nanotechnology and Bio-Statistics International Conference 25 - 26 February, 2016 Organized by School of Sciences U. P. Rajarshi Tandon Open University, Allahabad (Established by Act No. 10, 1999 of Government of Uttar Pradesh) www.uprtou.ac.in 1 2 Message I am pleased to know that the School of Sciences, Uttar Pradesh Rajarshi Tandon Open University, Allahabad is organizing a International Conference on “Current Scenario and Prospects of Nanotechnology and Bio-Statistics” on 25–26 February, 2016. The U. P. Rajarshi Tandon Open University, is one of the premier university in India among the Open and Distance Education universities. It is the only University of Distance mode in Uttar Pradesh established by the state Government. Science and technology has tremendous impact upon the life of man and the society. Today Nanotechnology is emerging and important area of study in science. Nanotechnology is the innovative area in science education. Theme of INCB-2016 covers the vast area of Nanotechnology and Bio-Statistics and will be very relevant for researchers, academicians and decision makers while framing the strategies for development of the country. I appreciate the enthusiasm of the faculty members who have planned this international conference and wish them a grand sussess. This conference will provide a platform for the academicians and researchers to discuss the theory and practice of Nanotechnology and Bio- Statistics. I hope the outcome of this conference will serve as useful source of information and reference for researchers, academicians and scientists working in the related fields. I extend a very cordial welcome to all invited speakers, resource persons, delegates and participants of the conference. I also extend my warm greetings and falicitations to the convener, Organizing Secretary and participating delegates and also send my best wishes for the grand success of the conference. Prof. M. P. Dube Vice-Chancellor 3 From The Desk of Conference Director……… Nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool in the field of molecular manipulations whereby miniatures of the bulky materials and parts of machines are manufactured with maximum precisions and enhanced properties. Such products occupy a very little place ie. within one to hundred nanometres range and have many times more potential and perfection in terms of performance, that is why their acceptance in present world is very high. It is a wonderful innovation in the field of science and technology mainly in material science. Now a days it has got a wide range of application in almost all the fields of human activities may it be medical, pharmacy, engineering, agriculture or even in arts. Biostatistics on the other hand provides the basis for statistical analysis for every kind of biological researches. This is the matter of appreciation that the faculty members of school of science and related fields have conceived an idea and prepared a proposal to organize an international conference on these two concurrent themes in a wedded manner so that the researchers, scientists and academicians of varied fields are invited on a common platform to discuss the issues, challenges and the prospects thereof. I on behalf of the organizing committee and on my own behalf am immensely and deeply indebted to Hon'ble Vice Chancellor Prof M. P. Dube, for his instill inspiration, encouragement, guidance and support in this endeavour. I am also thankful to Finance Officer and Registrar Mr. D. P. Tripathi for his financial and administrative supports. A sincere thanks is due to every member of the organizing committee who have worked hard to make this event possible. Last but not least I am Thankful to every one of the faculty and staff members who have directly or indirectly helped in organizing this conference. May this conference add one more feather in the cap of the University so diligently over the years that it continue to guide and inspire educationist to pursue to new ideas. I am sure the deliberations in the conference will make a pathway for students, researchers, academicians and policy makers to accomplish their task in better ways. I am sure that every participant and guest will enjoy a pleasant, memorable and comfortable stay at the historic city of Sangam. I hope this visit will be fruitful and every one will take sweet memories from this Conference. Dr. P. P. Dubey Conference Director 4 From the Desk of Convener……………… As a Convener of INCB – 2016, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to all the delegates of the International Conference on “Current Scenario and Prospects of Nanotechnology and Bio-Statistics” on 25-26 Fabruary, 2016 in U. P. Rajarshi Tandon Open University, Allahabad. The conference aims to promote exchange of information and ideas related with nanotechnology and biostatistics in various discipline of science. Bringing researchers and academicians from different disciplines of science together to encourage collaboration is truly an important task and proper fusion of diverse ideas is always needed. I hope that the conference will bring intellectually inspiring interactions and productive and the ideas generated will be globally valuable. The major theme of this conference is ‘Applications of Nano tecnology and Bio- Statistics, while the sub themes are Synthesis of Nanomaterials and Applications of Nanotechnology, Nano Catalysis: Emerging Concepts and Applications, Nanotechnology in Basic Sciences and Biomedical Engineering, Applications of Nanotechnology in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Biostatistics and Applications, Emerging roles of Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Environmental issues, Nano-computing and Information and Communication Technology, Applications of Nanotechnology in Socio- economic Development. I know that the success of any conference depends ultimately on many people who have worked with us in the planning and organizing both the technical program and supporting social arrangements, for this my thanks to all of them. In particular I would like to express my special gratitude and regards to the patron of the conference Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor Prof. M. P. Dube, for his guidance, support and best wishes to give this conference a great success. I pay my special thanks to Finance Officer and Registrar Mr. D. P. Tripathi for his financial and administrative support. I also pay my thanks to Controller of Examination Dr. Mradul Srivastava for his suggestions. I also pay my heartily thanks to all the guests, speakers, participants & delegates without whom, this event may not achieved its expectations. At the last I convey my best wishes & greetings to all the participants. Dr. Shruti Convener 5 From the Desk of Organizing Secretary………… On behalf of Organizing Committee of INCB – 2016, it’s gives me immense pride and privilege to welcome you all in this International Conference on ‘Current Scenario and Prospects of Nanaotechnology and Bio-Statistics’ 25-26 February, 2016 Organized by U. P. Rajarshi Tandon Open University, Allahabad is being held in one of the oldest cities of the world having enriched with glorious history, known as “Teirth Raj Prayag, City of Triveni Sangam & Maha Kumbh”. As we all know that now a day’s science and technology plays vital role for mankind. In the 21st century nanotechnology studies in various disciplines of science gives a new dimensions in building unique devices with a molecular scale precision, towards nano devices in medicine, computing devices and scientific exploration. The relevance of this topic in higher education and research is very important. Striding towards the same direction, the objective of present conference is to provide a platform for leading academicians, researchers and scholars to communicate, exchange, and share their ideas and discuss about the related fields. It is a matter of great pleasure that the conference received an overpowering response from different institutions and universities of all over India and all over the world in diversified areas of science and technology.
