Water man of India Rajendra Singh bags
Top Prize !
An award known as "the Nobel Prize for wa-
ter" has been given to an Indian campaigner
who has brought water to 1,000 villages.The
judges of the Stockholm Water Prize say his
methods have also prevented floods, restored
soil and rivers, and brought back wildlife.
The prize-winner, Rajendra Singh, is dubbed
"the Water Man of India".The judges say his
technique is cheap, simple, and that his ideas
should be followed worldwide.Mr Singh uses a mod-
ern version of the ancient Indian technique of rain-
water harvesting.It involves building low-level
banks of earth to hold back the flow of water in the
wet season and allow water to seep into the ground
for future use. He first trained as a medic, but when
he took up a post in a rural village in arid Rajasthan
he was told the greatest need was not health care but
drinking water.Groundwater had been sucked dry by
farmers, and as water disappeared, crops failed, riv-
ers, forests and wildlife disappeared and people left
for the towns. Its director, Torgny Holmgren, said:
"In a world where demand for freshwater is boom-
ing, we will face a severe water crisis within decades
if we do not learn how to better take care of our wa-
ter. Mr Singh is a beacon of hope."
In its citation, the judges say: "Today's water prob-
lems cannot be solved by science or technology
alone. They are human problems of governance, pol-
icy, leadership, and social resilience.
"Rajendra Singh's life work has been in building so-
cial capacity to solve local water problems through
participatory action, empowerment of women, link-
ing indigenous know-how with modern scientific
and technical approaches and upending traditional
patterns of development and resource use."
The award was applauded by Katherine Pygott, a
leading UK water engineer who has drawn on Mr
Singh's work to help prevent flooding in the UK.

Amazing Science!!!
Does it look like black dots appear and disappear
at the intersections of this grid? If you focus on
any one intersection, youll see there are only
white dots. This illusion, called the scintillating
grid, The scintillating grid illusion is an optical
illusion, discovered by E. Lingelbach in 1994,
that is usually considered a variation of the Her-
mann grid illusion. It is constructed by superim-
posing white discs on the intersections of orthog-
onal gray bars on a black background. Dark dots
seem to appear and disappear rapidly at random intersections,
hence the label "scintillating". When a
person keeps his or her eyes directly on a single intersection,
the dark dot does not appear. The dark
dots disappear if one is too close to or too far from the
image,is caused when your brain tries to make
up for the 0.1 second pause it takes to translate light hitting
your retina into an image. In effect, your
brain is trying to predict the future - but getting it slightly
wrong.

Nano-tech is the Science of Future : Experts
A world congress on green nano-technology and its role in
sustainable agriculture was held at Jacob School
of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Sam Higginbottom Institute
of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences
(SHIATS). During the celebrations, the experts claimed that
nano-technology was the science of the future
and elaborated upon its many uses, including in modern farming.
The event was organised in collaboration
with the University of Missouri, Columbia, US.
The technical session of the congress was chaired by Prof Newman
Fernandes wherein Prof Florian F Bauer
of the Institute for Wine Biotechnology, University of
Stellenbosch, Cape Town, South Africa, delivered a
lecture on nano-technology in the wine industry. Stating that it
was the science of the future, he highlighted
the numerous potential applications of nanotechnology in diverse
wine industry, and suggested various ways
in which fields such as synthetic biology and nanotechnology, or
combinations thereof, may revolutionize
the making of wine. Prof Christofora Hanny Wijaya, Head of food
chemistry division, Faculty of agriculture
technology, Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia, talked on
implementation of nano-technology in
herbal-based functional drink and carotenoid rich functional
ingredient.
In the second technical session, founder director of IIT-Kanpur
Dr Sandip Patil talked about use of nano-
fibre technology in agriculture application and elaborated upon
electro-spinning nano-fibre technology for
agricultural applications. Associate professor, faculty of
Veterinary Medicine, Beni-Seuf University, Egypt,
Dr Saber Mohamed Abd-Allah, expressed his views on applications
of nano-particles on animal reproduc-
tive cells. He gave a historic prospective of nano-material
application to animal reproductive biology and
the most recent developments in this field. He also focused on
effect of nano-particles on antioxidant activi-
ty and spermatogenesis process in testicular tissues and
emphasized on the potential benefits, threats, and
challenges of nano-particles in animal reproductive organs.
Professor of pharmaceutical technology at the department of
pharmacy and pharmaceutical technology,
School of Pharmacy, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain, Prof
Juan M Irache, delivered a lecture on
food protein-based nano-particles for oral delivery of
bioactives. He showed some of the capabilities of
nano-particles, based on either casein or zein, as carriers for
BACs (Biologically active compounds) and
their potential use for food (functional), nutraceutical, and
pharmaceutical purposes.

Newly Discovered Spider Named After Indian State Telangana
A new species of crab spiders, Telangana
crab spider (Thomisus telanganensis), has
been named after the Telangana state in
India. Two taxonomy and wildlife scien-
tists from the Zoology Division at Osma-
nia University stumbled upon female crab
spiders during a scientific expedition at
Nagnur, located in the district of Ka-
rimnagar.
In the newly published copy of an interna-
tional journal on taxonomy and conserva-
tion known as the Journal of Threatened
Taxa (JoTT), junior researcher G.B.
Pravalikha, together with Assistant Pro-
fessor C. Srinivasulu, described how the
Telangana crab spider is biologically dif-
ferent from other crab spiders by illustrating its female
genital structure along with other distinguishing
characters.
This type of spiders from the Thomisidae family, resemble crabs
morphologically, and thus, they are com-
monly known as crab spiders. This Telangana species has an
affinity to move sideways, similarly to crabs,
but they had been also called flower crab spiders because these
creatures hunt their prey on mostly flowering
plants. The species are closely related to Thomisus labefactus,
crab spiders originating from Japan. Both sci-
entists are dedicating this new line of species to honor all the
students and people who had given up their
own lives for Telangana's cause.
Unlike Telangana crab spiders, most traditional spiders weave
webs to trap other insects. Although they fab-
ricate silk for drop-lines and sundry reproductive purposes,
Telangana crab spiders are more aggressive in
attacking, using their powerful front legs to grab and hold onto
their prey while paralyzing it with venomous
bites, Dr. Srinivasulu noted. "They are important to the
ecosystem as they act as bio-controlling agents to
keep the insect population under control. They are between 3 mm
and 23 mm in size with their colour vary-
ing from bright and colourful to dull.
They are usually found in plants, shrubs, grasses, flowering
plants, leaf litter and sometimes under stones,"
Dr. Srinivasulu added. he spiders of Thomisidae family are not
known to be harmful to humans at least
the known ones. Both scientists prove that it is still a big,
big world out there, and there are more species yet
to be discovered, and hopefully, more governments and agencies
will support their endeavor and research.
The researchers also noted that these crab spiders, as of the
moment, had been found locally at Nagnur on-
ly.The study was funded by grants from the Government of India,
the Science and Engineering Research
Board (SERB), University Grants Commission, New Delhi and the
Department of Science and Technology.

Physicist Tests the Science of James Bond
The Quartermaster of MI6 would love Dr Metin Tolan. For him, the
most interesting part about James Bond is that Ian Fleming wrote
him to weigh 76 kilograms (mass) and be 1.83 metres tall (height).
An experi-mental physicist from the Tech-nical University of
Dortmund, Germany, Tolan has picked some of the more improbable
stunts and gadgets from James Bond movies and explained the physics
be-hind themor, at least, exactly where they fall short of being
plausible. For instance, he's found, that Bond has to be 20 times
more "streamlined" than the airplane and capable of solving
"coupled non-linear system of dif-ferential equations" in his head
in three seconds while riding a motorcycle toward an aircraft
falling off a precipice to catch that planemid-airas he does in
Golden Eye (1995).
"But it's the British Secret Service. They can't tell us how
they do it," he tells the crowd at The German House in Delhi where
he delivered a lecture on the physics behind the Bond stunts,
organized by the German Research Foundation, on Wednesday. Q
would've been flattered. Tolan has a book on the subject; he also
has tendency to look at entertainmentfootball, Star Trekthrough the
lens of physics and make it all look incredibly easy. While most
viewers would simply regard the magnetic watch in Live and Let Die
(Roger Moore, 1973) as cool (or lame, depending on the
gen-eration), Tolan was just excited to find that the spoon zings
across to Roger Moore in exactly three seconds, thereby, satisfying
Lenz's Law. "I'm sure it was obeyed by accident but physicists got
excited." Tolan's derived the title of his lecture"Shaken, Not
Stirred"from Bond's fastidious instruc-tions on the preparation of
his vodka martini. Tolan looked at it "on the molecular level".
Shaking causes the large molecules responsible for taste rise to
the topto be taken in a single mouthful, pretty much the most Bond
has time forand the smaller ones for their effect sink to the
bottom.
Another stuntthis one from The Man with the Golden Gun (Moore,
1974)depicting Bond making his car jump over a river and spinning
once mid-air, is, apparently, easily achieved "if you prepare your
car a lit-tle bit". The "little bit" of preparation involves
slicing the car in half, rear-ranging the rigging inside to ensure
all mass is evenly distributed around an axis and then strapping
the driver in the centre with the steering wheel. For those who
were dying to know, the speed at which the car has to take off from
the ramp to reach the other bank is 64.4kmph. Seeing the
reflec-tion of the attacker in the eye of the Bond Girl in
Goldfinger (1964) is im-possible unless she's blind; she's patently
not.

The Indian pharmaceutical sector would soon be
showcasing new drugs for malaria, osteoporosis
and diabetes: Harsh Vardhan
The candidate drugs are currently undergoing clini-cal trials,
he said.The pharmaceutical sector would soon be showcasing new
drugs for malaria, osteopo-rosis and diabetes, Vardhan said. He
announced that simultaneously Central Drug Research Institute
(CDRI) is carrying out Investigational New Drug (IND) studies on
lead molecules for fracture-healing, cancers, thrombosis, malaria
and hyperglycemia. I am confident that the drug laboratories under
CSIR are capable of backing up the Swasth Bharat Mis-sion. Our
scientists are focusing on both infectious and life-style diseases.
We are developing next-generation drugs, biologics, biosimilars,
gene thera-peutics, stem cell therapeutics, personalised medi-cine
and multi functional nano medicine, the minis-ter said. It would
strive to build a new generation of enterprises in the healthcare
sector, he said.He also announced that government would soon set up
the Biopharma Industry Incubator (BII) under the um-brella of CDRI
Lucknow.Talking to reporters after a visit to the CDRI, he said
that Indian research and development efforts in government
laboratories un-der the wing of the Council of Scientific and
Indus-trial Research (CSIR) have a track record in making drugs for
kalaazar, filaria, leprosy and tuberculosis available at affordable
rates to the common man. He said that recently IMTECH Chandigarh
has devel-oped a clot specific streptokinase, IIIM, Jammu has
discovered natural product-based potential medicine for rheumatoid
arthritis, IICB Kolkata has developed an herbal extract for the
treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia. I am certain that India
has the potential of becoming a global pharmaceutical powerhouse
and am in the process of putting some key enablers in place. These
include giving the right incentives for R&D, forging alliances
with the private sector and keeping an open mind on suggestions for
fiscal relief to the private sector so that its role in R&D is
enhanced, Vardhan said.Strengthening of the R&D
ecosystem is the priority, he said.
Vardhan also emphasised that the people were ex-pecting that
CSIR laboratories would be able to pro-
duce therapeutic and preventive measures for re-emerged
infectious diseases like dengue, chikungu-niya, encephalitis, swine
flu as well as conditions like cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis,
hypertension, de-
pression and ulcers.
Today India ranks third in terms of volume of pro-duction with
10 percent share of the global market by volume and 14th largest by
value. India is often dubbed the pharmacy of developing world, he
said. He, however, pointed out that India still has a long way to
go in pharmaceutical research and de-velopment and needs to move
from a phase of manu-facturing to innovation. He expressed concern
over the fact that currently new drug research and devel-opment in
India was mostly an affair of government
organisations.
I request industry representatives to collaborate with CSIR
laboratories in new drug R&D. The PM has given a call for Make
in India. We need to gen-erate millions of jobs in a couple of
years because this country has a youth bulge. Seamless partnership
will help develop products and technologies for the benefit of the
common man, he said.He said that this ministry was also considering
setting up Gov-ernment Laboratory Practices (GLP) certified labs in
CDRI for complete range of Investigational New
Drug (IND) studies.
He said the step would foster new drug development as well as
shore up the financial bottom line of the laboratory.The minister
also announced the for-mation of a National Centre for Laboratory
Animals in the CDRI new campus conforming to national and
international guidelines.

The life sciences sector is undergoing a huge trans-formation
fueled largely by collaborations with the information technology
industry, Ravi Mistry, presi-dent of EPPIC, a 17-year-old
organization that aims to provide mentorship, collaborations and
entrepre-neurship to Indian Americans working in the life sci-ences
industry, told India-West this week. The or-ganization is hosting
the Ninth Annual EPPICon Mar. 28 at the Santa Clara Convention
Center in Northern California with the theme: Digital Disrup-
tion in Life Sciences.
Speakers and panelists at the conference will explore how
innovations in technology are helping life sci-ences companies to
more rapidly bring new products to the marketplace. Keynote
speakers include Stan-ford Universitys Vivek Wadhwa, who will
discuss how technologies are transforming health care; and Kim Bush
of the Gates Foundation, who will talk about the importance of
innovative science and tech-nology in addressing health crises
throughout the
developing world.
The day-long event will also feature an investor pan-el and a
speed pitch session which allows entre-preneurs to showcase their
emerging companies to potential investors. Mistry, a veteran of
both tech and life sciences sectors, told India-West that he
de-veloped an interest in the Human Genome Project, the largest,
multi-country DNA sequencing initiative in the world. The project
started up in 1990, and was completed in 2003, presenting
scientists with mas-sive amounts of information that could lead to
the development of new pharmaceuticals and treatments. I thought
then: if I have to make a choice between my smart phone and a drug
I had to have, I would choose the drug. Life science always wins,
said Mistry. It is a passion for people, improving so that
people can lead better lives.
Mistry was mentored by Bay Area Indian American life sciences
pioneer Nagesh Mhatre, who co-founded EPPIC in 1998. At last years
EPPICon, Mhatre received the Best Mentor award, which recognized
his role in mentoring young scientists for more than 50 years. The
serial entrepreneur died lat-
er that year.
Technology has completely impacted life sciences, said Mistry,
noting that big data analytics tools have made genome sequencing
much faster. Large storage capacities and better processing power
have also dra-matically impacted the efficiency with which drug
companies can develop new pharmaceuticals and
diagnostic tools, he said.
David Persing, chief technology officer at the Sunnyvale,
Calif.-based Cepheid, will showcase the companys newest innovation,
RemoteXpert, a cloud-based software that allows health agencies
around the world to collect data on emerging infections with the
aim of predicting and preventing epidemics. The company has also
developed GeneXpert, a cartridge-based system that can predict
tuberculosis. Ten mil-lion GeneXpert cartridges have been
distributed
throughout the developing world.
Jared Heyman, CEO of CrowdMed, will introduce the new platform
which allows patients from around the world to upload their medical
tests and symp-toms, and receive a diagnosis from volunteer
experts
from around the globe.
Scientist Raji Pillai, co-chair of this years EPPICon, told
India-West: Increasingly, there is a huge amount of
interdisciplinary work going on. The Hu-man Genome Project, for
example, has released enormous amounts of useful data, said Pillai.
How do you actually analyze all this information? que-ried Pillai,
noting that there must be collaborations between physicists,
scientists and IT professionals to
make best use of the data.
Previously, scientists used in-vivo and in-vitro test-ing in
animals. But a new technology-based ap-proach allows data to become
available even before scientists hit the lab, she said. Ancillary
patient data, wearable data and call-center medical data all
be-
come available in real time, explained Pillai.
The new institution would serve as a referral centre for lab
animal breeding and experimentation for new
drug development.

Modern science unrecognizable without contribu-tion of Indians,
Prof.Alok Kumar, Professor of physics at the State University of
New York at
Oswego
Asserting that modern science would be unrecog-nizable without
the contributions of ancient Indian scientists like Aryabhata and
Sushruta, noted Indian- American scientist has rued that there is a
concert-ed effort to ignore these figures, whose contributions to
science is at par, if not more than those of Pythag-oras and
Aristotle. "Just imagine erasing the name of Pythagoras, Aristotle,
and Plato from the current phi-losophy texts because it is an old
past. Will it be just and fair? The answer is no.?However, this is
exactly the case when we ignore our own heroes, Aryabhata, Kanada,
Varahmihir, Brahmgupta, Charaka, and
Sushruta, in India unjustly,"
A professor of physics at the State University of New York at
Oswego, Kumar, who was born and educated in India, is author of two
books that docu-ments the contribution of ancient Indian scientist
to the modern day science including 'Sciences of the
Ancient Hindus' which was released last year.
His third book 'A History of Science in World Cul-tures: Voices
of Knowledge' is due this year. "Modern science and medicine would
be unrecog-nizable, and far more primitive, without the immense
contribution of the ancient Indians. They invented everyday
essentials such as our base-ten number sys-tem and zero as a
numeral," he said. "The ancient Indians also developed a
sophisticated system of medicine with its mind-body approach known
as Ayurveda; detailed anatomical and surgical knowledge of the
human body, including cataract surgery and the so-called plastic
surgery; metallurgi-cal methods of extraction and purification of
metals, knowledge of various constellations and planetary motions
that was good enough to assign motion to
the Earth; and the science yoga," Kumar said.
In his book, Kumar said he has provided a powerful and
comprehensive insight into the extraordinary intellectual
contributions of the ancient Indians, the full story of which had
hitherto remained largely un-known and unappreciated throughout
millennia of neglect. Kumar said when he compiled scientific
achievements from the ac-counts of Aristotle, Arrian,
Megasthenes, Clement of Alexandria, and Apollonius of Tyana among
the Greeks; Al-Biruni, Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Labban, al-Fazari,
al-Masudi, and Al-Uqlidisi among the Islamic scholars; Fa-Hien,
Hiuen Tsang, and I-tsing among the Chi-nese; Leonardo Fibbonacci,
Pope Sylvester II, Roger Bacon, Voltaire and Copernicus from
Europe, a much different picture emerged as against the gen-eral
impression about India. "With further research, I found that, in
the modern era,thinkers and scientists as diverse as Goethe,
Emerson, Jung, Thoreau, Op-penheimer, Herder and Schrodinger, to
name a few, have acknowledged their debt to ancient Hindu
achievements in science, technology and philoso-phy," Kumar said.
"The first nation (to have cultivat-ed science) is India. This is a
powerful nation having a large population, and a rich kingdom
(possessions)?India is known for the wisdom of its people. Over
many centuries, all the kings of the past have recognised the
ability of the Indians in all branches of knowledge," he said,
citing a book writ-ten by Said al-Andalusi (1029-1070 A.D.), a
natural
philosopher from Muslim Spain.
Responding to questions about the recent controver-sy
surrounding Pythagoras theorem, Kumar said in the absence of
existing documents, it is difficult to conclude that the theorem
was discovered in one cul-ture and passed on to others or
independently dis-covered in different cultures. "Such are the
challeng-es in the history of science where evidence based on a
document is crucial in making such assertions. Nonetheless, the
connection of Pythagoras to India is
an intriguing corollary to this theorem," he said.
"We do not have even a single manuscript that was written by
Pythagoras. All we know about Pythago-ras is based on the following
writers who wrote about him? This is where the story becomes
interest-ing.? For two millennia, scholars have connected
Pythagoras and his teachings to India, including the Pythagorean
Theorem.?This was ignored by ex-
perts," he said.
