Abstract: A therapeutic or an edible composition comprising at least three of the five herbs selected from Prunus amygdales, Ocimum sanctum, Azadirachta indica, Aegle marelose and Vitus vinefera, is provided for the treatment of hyperglycemia, especially for non-insulin dependent diabetic subjects, and the herbal composition has significantly reduced the blood glucose levels in both diabetic and non-diabetic experimental subjects having elevated blood glucose levels.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of highly active modified carbon supported palladium catalyst by simultaneously impregnating activated carbon with a palladium precursor and an aluminium precursor. The carbon supported palladium catalyst is useful for the hydrodechlorination of dichlorodifluoromethane to produce difluoromethane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 2,6-divinylpyridine and 2-methyl-6-vinylpyridine over modified zeolite catalysts. In particular, it relates to the method for the synthesis of 2,6-divinylpyridine and 2-methyl-6-vinylpyridine from 2,6-lutidine and formaldehyde in vapour phase in an eco-friendly method with high yield and selectivity. This invention provides a non-corrosive, eco-friendly process, where the catalyst can be reused for many times. 2,6-Divinylpyridine is useful stating material in polymer industry.

Abstract: An in situ polymer microstructure formation method. The monomer mixture is polymerized in a solvent/precipitant through exposure to ionizing radiation in the absence any chemical mediators. If an exposure mask is employed to block out certain regions of the radiation cross section, then a patterned microstructure is formed. The polymerization mechanism is based on the so-called free-radical retrograde-precipitation polymerization process, in which polymerization occurs while the system is phase separating above the lower critical solution temperature. This method was extended to produce a crosslinked line grid-pattern of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), which has been known to have thermoreversible properties.
