Tata Passenger vehicles for the average Indian
I just read the presentation by TATA motors about their new passenger vehicle category. I often think why the TATA's are not launching a share auto rickshaw type vihicle with their majestic ACE... reading todays article I feel that they have worked out far then I thought of..

Artichoke
I have never heard of this stuff till now. Artichoke is a vegetable or a vegetarian food that
is a native of the Mediterranean region. The artichoke is a perennial plant, member of the thistle group of the sunflower (Compositae) family. In full growth, the plant spreads to cover an area about two meters in diameter and reaches a height of 1-1/2 meters. Its long, arching, deeply serrated leaves give the plant a fern-like appearance.
The so called "vegetable" that is eaten is actually the plant's flower bud. If allowed to flower, the blossoms measure up to 1 foot in diameter and are beautiful violet-blue color. The size of the bud depends upon where it is located on the plant. The largest, as usual are the "terminal" buds produced at the end of the long central stems. Buds become smaller towards the lower stem.
Artichokes are a delicious fit for a healthy lifestyle. One large artichoke contains only 25 calories, no fat, 170 milligrams of potassium and is a good source of vitamin C, folate, magnesium and dietary fiber.

Being perennial, they continue to yield for five to ten years. Each cropping cycle is initiated b
y "cutting back" to stimulate development of new shoots. The main propagation or reproduction method for planting artichokes is with root sections attached to basal stem pieces. These cuttings which are often referred to as "stumps," are obtained from well established fields which are scheduled for replanting.

These cuttings which are often referred to as "stumps," are obtained from well established fields which are scheduled for replanting. Though artichokes are available throughout the year, peak season is between March and May. The harvesting is done entirely by hand and artichokes on the same plant mature at different times, the same field will be harvested every seven days during peak season and so call for a high labor cost.

Accurate Volume Sampling System for Biotherapeutics
Millipore Corporation which acquired Novaseptic a couple of years ago, has recently introduced the new NovaSeptum AV (Accurate Volume) system designed to meet the challenges faced in the aseptic and sterile sampling during the production of today’s high-value biotherapeutic products. Taking accurate small volume samples with minimal waste of the valuable drug product improves product yield.
The NovaSeptum AV system is a closed (similar to Novaseptic's other sampling systems which avoid cross contamination), accurate sampling system that enables the production personnel to obtain a small-volume product intermediate samples easily and efficiently avoiding the risk of cross contamination. This device measures to milliliter accuracy and thereby improves the sampling efficiency while reducing potential product waste. This syringe systems allows storing the sample for testing at later stages also.
The closed design of the NovaSeptum AV system ensures that the drug product and sample are always enclosed in a sterile, closed environment. Being a sterile, disposable and closed sampling system, the NovaSeptum AV system eliminates the need to clean and sterilize traditional sample containers and thereby ensures that the product is secure from point of sampling to testing, by avoiding any cross contamination.

RFID Technology in Filtration Products
Filtration systems giant Millipore Corporation has recently announced that it is the first company to successfully integrate Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with filtration products used to manufacture biopharmaceutical drugs. The new RFID capability branded as SMART Technology, will be introduced at the upcoming INTERPHEX(R) 2007 Conference, which is being held April 24-26, 2007 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. Wait to see what difference Millipore has made!
