MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

"It can happen. It does happen.

But it can't happen if you quit." Lauren Dane.

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence then is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle

It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words for our e-bulletin. At the onset I would like to thank the
last years editors and congratulate the newly selected editors for the current year.

Our first consideration is always in the best interest of the students. Our goal is to promote academic
excellence and continuous improvement.

I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners are
supported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learning
and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeting
the needs of all students.

It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order to
achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and look
forward to watching as you put your mark on the profession in the years ahead.

The call of the time is to progress, not merely to move ahead. Our progressive Management is looking
forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken in
this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teachers
are committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and play
the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.

The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positive
challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holistic
needs of our students.

I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of the
opportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.

Excellence in Education is not a final destination, it is a continuous walk. I welcome you to join us on
this path.

My best wishes to all.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE
Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel
Early Life and Family Background
Born on March 18, 1858 in Paris, France, Rudolf Diesel was the
son of Theodor Diesel who was a leather worker, and Elise
Strobel. Both of his parents were Bavarian Germans who hailed
from Augsburg. When the Franco-Prussian War of 1870
happened, the Diesel family had to be expelled from France
which caused them to transfer to London. Young Rudolf Diesel
was, however, sent back to Augsburg by his father to continue
the education which he was able to have in France.
Although unable to graduate in his 1879 class because he was ill
with typhoid, he mad wise use of his time by gaining practical
experience in engineering at the Sulzer Brothers Machine
Works or the Gebrder Sulzer Maschinenfabrik in Winterthur,
Switzerland. He became fascinated by engineering because of his
visits to National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. The following
year, Rudolf Diesel graduated with flying colors and made his
way back to Paris where he had the chance to work at the firm
which Karl Paul Gottfried von Linde, his former refrigeration
professor ran. Diesel had been Lindes student at Technical
University Munich.
Career
Diesel assisted Linde to come up with the design as well as the
construction of a modern refrigeration as well as ice plant back
in 1880. A year later, it was none other than Diesel himself who
became the director of the plant. Come 1883, Diesel was married

to Martha Flasche with which he had their sons Rudolf Jr. and
Eugen, and their daughter Heddy. He continued to work with
and for Linde and together, they were able to gain many patents
in both France and Germany.
While he was working as one of the employees of the Linde firm,
Diesel was captivated by the theoretical works of Nicholas
Carnot, a French physicist who was the brains behind the
principles of todays modern combustion engine. Diesel believed
that it was possible to build an engine which which is four times
more efficient than what they had back then.
This inspiration set his ideas in motion and in 1885, he began to
work on his project to have a more efficient engine. For more
than a decade, he had worked on different engine designs and
come 1892, he was granted the patent to have an engine burn
what was then the cheapest fuel available which was powdered
coal. During the time he was working on his engines and
designs, his projects earned funding from Maschinenfabrik
Augsburg which is now known as MAN Diesel as well as
Friedrich Krupp AG now known as ThyssenKrupp.
The Diesel Engine
Rudolf Diesel was able to power the very first diesel engine on
the tenth of August, 1893 and what served as its fuel was peanut
oil. He was able to find workarounds for some of the problems
and he was then able to introduce the first 25-horsepower 4-
stroke one-cylinder compression engine in 1897. This more
advanced engine which became well-known after it was first
displayed in the 1898 Munich Exhibition.
The engine that Rudolf Diesel came up with is a kind of internal
combustion engine with a compression ignition mechanism that
works by having heated fuels. The fuels used for powering the
engine can either be bio-derived or petroleum based. This
mechanism that does not require complex spark ignition
systems is what really sets the diesel engine aside and makes it
more efficient. According to Diesel himself, It is the diesels
higher compression ratio that leads to its greater fuel efficiency.

Because the air is compressed, the combustion temperature is

higher, and the gases will expand more after combustion,
applying more pressure to the piston and crankshaft.
His diesel engine was made to be usable for marine engines,
automobiles, electric power generators, factories, trains, oil
drilling equipment, and mining machines. The American rights
for the diesel engine were sold to the brewer named Adolphus
Busch, but in Europe, it is still MAN Diesel that operates the
leading facility for diesel engines. Not only did Diesel create a
more efficient engine, he had also warned of the possible air
pollution dangers that may arise from the use of engines, and he
even wrote a book about the human condition which also
suggested how businesses should be owned by the employees.
Death and Disappearance
In September 29, 1913, Diesel went aboard the steamer Dresden
to cross the English Channel. En route to London to be in the
Consolidated Diesel Manufacturing meeting, he vanished. He
went to his cabin around 10 PM after having dinner and asked to
be called the following morning around 6 AM. During the roll
call, his cabin was empty and had never been seen alive since
then.
His clothing were left untouched on his unused bed and ten days
later after his disappearance, crew from the Dutch boat named
Coertsen chanced upon the decomposing body of a man which
floated in the North Sea which is near Norway. The body was
not brought on board because of its state, but personal items
such as his pill case, pocket knife, I.D. card, and an eyeglass case
was taken to help identify him. Eugen, the younges of Rudolf
Diesels sons identified these personal effects as his fathers.
There are some theories about the death of Diesel, one of which
is suicide which is considered as the most likely one. Some
conspiracy theories suggest homicide based on military interest
on his works. However, there is limited explanation for the
death of the man who was able to create a huge change on
engine efficiency.

Biomaterial delivers both a powerful drug and
gene silencers: (09th August, 2017)
Clinicians have a huge arsenal of drugs at their disposal for
treating cancers. But many chemotherapeutic agents pose
stubborn challenges: they cause serious side effects, some
cancers develop resistance, and many chemotherapies
demonstrate low bio-availability. A potential solution lies in the
synergistic combination of a chemotherapeutic drug with
engineered genetic material. New hybrid materials combine a
lipid 'container' for transfection and a protein capsule to deliver
a chemical one-two punch.

KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE

Campaign to focus on prevention of youth
e-cigarette use
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it would
pursue a strategic, new public health education campaign aimed
at discouraging the use of e-cigarettes and other electronic
nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) by kids. The agency plans to
expand its The Real Cost public education campaign to
include messaging to teens about the dangers of using these
products this fall while developing a full-scale campaign to
launch in 2018. These efforts are part of the agencys new
comprehensive plan for tobacco and nicotine regulation, as well
as ongoing efforts to educate youth about, and protect them
from, the dangers associated with using all tobacco products. It
is the first time the FDA will be utilizing public health education
to specifically target youth use of e-cigarettes or other ENDS.

 11-08-2017

While we pursue a policy that focuses on addressing the role

that nicotine plays in keeping smokers addicted to combustible
cigarettes, and to help move those who cannot quit nicotine
altogether onto less harmful products, we will also continue to
work vigorously to keep all tobacco products out of the hands of
kids, said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. Educating
youth about the dangers of tobacco products has been a
cornerstone of our efforts to reduce the harms caused by these
products. Including e-cigarettes and other ENDS products in our
prevention work not only makes sense, it reflects the troubling
reality that they are the most commonly-used tobacco product
among youth.
More than 2 million middle and high school students were
current users of e-cigarettes and other ENDS in 2016. Data also
show about half of all middle and high school students who
were current tobacco users also used two or more tobacco
products last year. This use by children and teens is especially
concerning because of evidence that youth exposure to nicotine
affects the developing brain and may rewire it to be more
susceptible to nicotine addiction in the future.
The FDAs recently announced plan puts nicotine and the issue
of addiction at the center of the agencys efforts. This policy aims
to strike a careful balance between the regulation of all tobacco
products, and the opportunity to encourage development of
innovative tobacco products that may be less dangerous than
combustible cigarettes. But, importantly, the approach also
continues to focus on the need to reduce the access and appeal of
all tobacco products to youth, including e-cigarettes and other
ENDS, and maintains all of the existing regulations that
currently apply to these products.
To re-double efforts to address the concerning youth use of these
products, the FDA will capitalize on its already well-known
The Real Cost campaign this fall by releasing new digital
materials that are targeted to youth and focused on ENDS. This
will include online videos to educate kids about the dangers of

 11-08-2017

using e-cigarettes or other ENDS. Among the messages that will

be part of the campaign is the potential for nicotine to rewire a
teens brain and create cravings that can lead to addiction. At the
same time, the agency also is undertaking an effort to shape a
new, full-scale campaign that is exclusively focused on youth use
of ENDS. The FDA plans to launch this new, more extensive
content in 2018.
Since its launch in February 2014, the FDAs The Real Cost
campaign has proven to be successful, with a recent
evaluation concluding that the campaign prevented nearly
350,000 youth aged 11 to 18 nationwide from initiating smoking
from 2014 to 2016. With nearly 2,500 youth under the age of 18
in the United States trying their first cigarette each day, youth
tobacco prevention campaigns remain essential to protecting
public health.
The campaign is just one component of the agencys efforts to
restrict youth access, limit youth appeal and reduce toxic
exposure to youth from all tobacco products. The FDA
continues to enforce important existing regulations specifically
aimed at addressing youth access to ENDS and other newly-
regulated products, including banning the sale of tobacco
products to youth under age 18, requiring age verification by
photo ID, and prohibiting free samples. Since August 2016, the
FDA has issued over 6,400 warning letters to brick and mortar
and online retailers for selling newly-regulated tobacco products
such as e-cigarettes to minors.
As previously announced, the FDA also is exploring clear and
meaningful measures to make tobacco products less toxic,
appealing and addictive with an intense focus on youth. In
particular, the agency is pursuing product standards for ENDS
that would address known risks. This could include measures on
battery safety, flavors/designs that appeal to youth, child-
resistant packaging, and product labeling to prevent accidental
child exposure to liquid nicotine. The FDA also intends to seek
public comment on the role that flavors in tobacco products play

 11-08-2017

in attracting youth. Additionally, the agency plans to explore

additional restrictions on the sale and promotion of ENDS,
including restrictions on how products may be sold and
advertised, to further reduce youth exposure and access to these
products.
The FDA has a multi-pronged effort to protect kids from using
any nicotine-containing product, including e-cigarettes, said
Mitch Zeller, J.D., director of the FDAs Center for Tobacco
Products. As we continue to learn more about these products
and their relationship to youth, the agency will be better
prepared to help address the issue of youth use through science-
based educational efforts and regulatory policies that will
ultimately pay the greatest dividends in reducing tobacco-
related disease and death.
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, promotes and protects the public health by,
among other things, assuring the safety, effectiveness, and
security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other
biological products for human use, and medical devices. The
agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our
nations food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products
that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco
products.
