Use of halide solution to improve the RDI and RI of sinter : # The reduction-degradation index (RDI) of sinter is an important parameter to estimate the quality of sinter in low temperature zone (450-550¿C) of blast furnace. Hence, it is of great importance to reduce the RDI of sinter which improve the permeability of blast furnace burden column for a stable and smooth performance resulting high yield and low consumption. In the last few years, many researchers have studied and reported the method for improving sinter quality by adding halide solution on to surface of the manufactured sintered ore. Some sinter producers also established from practices that spraying CaCl2 solution on to the sinter surface will reduce the RDI of sinter.

This book provides the reader with an overall understanding of the biology of pancreatic cancer, hereditary, complex signaling pathways and alternative therapies. The book explains nutrigenomics and epigenetics mechanisms such as DNA methylation, which may explain the etiology or progression of pancreatic cancer. Book also summarizes the molecular control of oncogenic pathways such as K-Ras and KLF4. Since pancreatic cancer metastasizes to vital organs resulting in poor prognosis, special emphasis is given to the mechanism of tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Role of nitric oxide and Syk kinase in tumor metastasis is discussed in detail. Prevention strategies for pancreatic cancer are also described. The molecular mechanisms of the anti-cancer effects of curcumin, benzyl isothiocyante and vitamin D are discussed in detail. Furthermore, this book covers the basic mechanisms of resistance of pancreatic cancer to chemotherapy drugs such as gemcitabine and 5-flourouracil.

This book covers pancreatic cancer risk factors, treatment and clinical procedures. It provides an outline of pancreatic cancer genetic risk factors, biomarkers and systems biology for the better understanding of disease. As pancreatic cancer suffers from lack of early diagnosis or prognosis markers, this book encompasses stem cell and genetic makers to identify the disease in early stages. The book uncovers the rationale and effectiveness of monotherapy and combination therapy in combating the devastating disease. As immunotherapy is emerging as an attractive approach to cease pancreatic cancer progression, the present book covers various aspects of immunotherapy including innate, adaptive, active, passive and bacterial approaches. Management of anesthesia during surgery and pain after surgery has been discussed. Book also takes the reader through the role of endoscopy and fine needle guided biopsies in diagnosing and observing the disease progression.

An interdisciplinary, engaging book which looks at the nature of Indian society since Independence. By focusing on the Doon school, a famous boarding school in India, it unpacks what post-colonialism means to Indian citizens.
