"Many a man began to wonder how he had got along without one." Time magazine Shaving without soap or water had been the dream of men (and probably some women) for centuries. The traditional "cutthroat" razor had given way to the safety razor in the late nineteenth century, but shaving was still a wet, time-consuming, and delicate operation. The electric, or dry, razor was patented by the U.S. inventor Jacob Schick (1878-1937) in 1928. Having dabbled with some very unwieldy devices, powered directly by household electricity and large external motors, Schick's most successful innovation was finding a way to house a small but powerful electrical motor inside a handheld shell. The motor drove a sharp, sliding cutter capable of slicing through a beard. All the parts were contained neatly within a Bakelite case. After a slow start, the first successful Schick electric razor appeared in 1931. As the design improved, more...

 Controlled-dose nebulizers are more expensive than jet nebulizers and may require supervision of a clinician. However, they have the added advantage that the quantity of drug received by the patient can be accurately controlled and measured.  Therefore, for small-scale trials they offer significant advantages. Nebulizers allow formulation in solution and so overcome some of the challenges of stabilizing the drug. However, fragile Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) cab be denatured by conventional jet nebulizers. The drug is delivered as an aerosol created by a compressor blowing air through the solution or suspension at high speed. In contrast, a controlled-dose nebulizer uses vibrating mesh technology that is much gentler, and therefore less likely to damage the drug. New study trials have shown that controlled- close nebulizers might reduce formulation costs and facilitate early-stage efficacy trials.  Melbourn Scientific, a contract analysis and formulation company, has developed A rapid formulation screening service for poorly more...

A new Clinical Research Management System (CRMS) helps in improving the efficiency and efficacy of clinical research studies, enterprise-wide, by driving better management of treatment   plans, processes and protocols while also supporting research- billing compliance.                                        Centricity Research, developed by GE Healthcare, is the industry's first-enterprise- class CRMS. Centricity Research helps institutions conducting clinical or translational research manage the growing complexity of research processes and compliance requirements. Centricity Research has robust functionality, built on the foundation of the currently available Centricity Patient Protocol Management (CPPM) solution, to support both the institutions' and researchers' efforts in achieving compliance, enhancing safety, increasing subject recruitment and facilitating agency audits. Moreover, GE Healthcare has developed a strategic partnership with mdlogix (Medical Decision Logic, Inc), which developed its CRMS in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and other leading clinical research institutions.  

Christmas is the greatest festival of Christians. It is celebrated with great enthusiasm like other festivals of different communities. It comes on 25th of December every year.

The word ‘citizen’ primarily means a person who lives in a country. Thus every Indian is a citizen of India, whether he lives in a city or a village or elsewhere. Every society has some definite rules of conduct for its members. Some of these rules are laid down as written laws, and whoever breaks any of them is punished by a court of law. There are many unwritten rules which are no less binding on every member of the society. Peace and happiness of the society depend a good deal upon the proper observance of these rules too. A good citizen takes equal care about these unwritten and written rules of conduct. Many people in our country are careless about the former. We often throw orange and banana skins on the road, collect garbage on the road, encroach upon roads and other government land; and thus spread nuisance. It more...

The ability to focus clearly on nearby objects— accommodation—decreases with age. This is known as presbyopia. It explains why older people tend to hold books at arm's length. Bifocals are glasses incorporating two lenses for each eye. The lower section of each glass corrects for presbyopia, bringing nearby objects into focus. American statesman Benjamin Franklin (1706- 1790) is normally credited with the invention of bifocals—although no one knows for sure who devised them, or when they did so. Franklin, and a few others, may have been wearing bifocals since the 1760s, but the first mention he makes of his "double spectacles" is in a letter dated August 21,1784. Franklin certainly did much to publicize bifocals and, as a man of science—and of poor eyesight—he certainly understood the principles behind their function. Each "lens" of Franklin's bifocal glasses consisted of two distinct pieces of glass, but toward the end of the more...

An Indian poetess of English language and known as the 'nightingale of India'-Sarojini Naidu was a great patriot who took part in freedom struggle and became the first woman Governor of U.P. She was the truly, one of the gems of the world.  She was born on February 13,1879 in Hyderabad. Her father Dr. Aghomath Chattopadhyay, was a scientist. He also founded Nizam College of Hyderabad. Her mother, Varasundari, was a Bengali poetess. In this way Sarojini Naidu inherited qualities from both her father and mother, and enjoyed a very bright career. Although her father wanted her to become a mathematician or scientist but she was more interested in  poetry than mathematics or science. She wrote "The Lady of the Lake", a poem of 1300 lines long, at a very tender age. She also wrote a play named "Maher Muneer" in the Persian language. The Nawab of Hyderabad was very more...

Introduction. 21st century is an era of science and technology. Science has touched the very life of man. No area of our life is unaffected by the miracles of science. We cannot ignore the fact that science has  come to stay. We are benefited by its unique gifts. Science has made its presence felt powerfully. Now, we have become entirely  dependent upon this valuable branch of human knowledge. Importance of Science. Science has changed our life completely. We cannot think of our life without it. It has modernized everything whether it is home or office, school or hospital. It is a revolutionary factor. It is always in the service of mankind. A doctor can now operate with scientific apparatus and perform bloodless surgery.
