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 t

last year’s 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 academexcellence and continuous improvement.

I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners asupported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learni

and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeti

the needs of all students.

It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order

achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and looforward 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 looki

forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken

this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teacheare committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and pl

the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.

The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positi

challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holist

needs of our students.

I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of t

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

this path.

My best wishes to all.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE

James Hutton

(1726 – 1797)

James Hutton transformed our concepts of the earth and the universeby deciphering the message carried by common rocks.

He discovered that our planet is enormously older than peoplebelieved. He gathered evidence with his own eyes rather than relyingon what ‘everyone knows’ or the written word. Prior to his work itwas generally accepted in the West that the earth was about 6000years old, based on a literal interpretation of the Bible’s timescale.

Hutton devised one of geology’s fundamental principles –uniformitarianism – which says that the same natural processes we

see operating today are the ones that have always operated, and thatthese everyday natural processes have shaped our world.

Other theories that require an immense amount of time – such asevolution by natural selection and continental drift – would not havebeen credible without Hutton’s work.

Beginnings

James Hutton was born into a prosperous family in 1726 in

Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. His birthday was June 3 (old calendar) or June 14 (modern calendar).

His father, William Hutton, was a merchant and the city’s treasurer;he died when James was just three years old.

James’s mother, Sarah Balfour, a merchant’s daughter, was ahousewife. Following the death of her husband she managed thefamily home, taking a keen interest in the education of James and histhree sisters. (James had an older brother who died at a young age.)

At the age of 10 James started classes at Edinburgh High School.

University

In November 1740, aged 14, he enrolled to study humanities (Greekand Latin) with philosophy and mathematics at the University ofEdinburgh.

In one lecture the professor of logic, attempting to illustrate a

philosophical theory, described how gold can be dissolved by an acidcalled aqua regia. This acid is made by mixing nitric acid andhydrochloric acid. Neither of these acids alone can dissolve gold; onlythe mixture can.

Hutton was fascinated by the chemistry more than he was impressedby the professor’s logic.

He began reading about chemistry and performing his ownexperiments. He and his friend James Davie tried to find the best way

to extract ammonium chloride – a rare and valuable chemicalcompound used in metalworking, dyeing, and medicines – fromEdinburgh’s plentiful supplies of soot. These experiments laid thefoundations of what would later become a profitable business.

Law, Chemistry, and Medicine

In 1743, after graduating, Hutton was apprenticed to a lawyer, butdevoted more time to chemistry than legal matters.

Deciding that a career in medicine would be more interesting thanlaw, he enrolled again at the university. In the years 1744 – 1747 hestudied science and medicine. He also worked as a physician’sassistant. Edinburgh did not offer medical degrees, so to complete hiseducation he spent two years studying in Paris, France before

qualifying as a doctor of medicine at Leiden University in Holland in1749.

Hutton, now aged 23, moved to the United Kingdom’s capital city,

London, where he hoped to establish a medical practice. However,business failed to boom for the young doctor.

James Hutton’s Contributions to Science

From his Edinburgh home Hutton embarked on expeditions tocatalogue the rocks around Scotland’s coasts, islands and mountains.He also undertook a painstaking survey of many of the rocks ofEngland and Wales, with the result that his knowledge of GreatBritain’s rock formations was unparalleled.

In March and April 1785 the 58-year-old Hutton gathered togetherhis evidence and presented the story he believed rocks tell us aboutour planet to the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His two papers wereentitled Theory of the Earth. These papers later would become a twovolume book.

Prior to Hutton’s work it had been generally accepted in Westerncultures that the earth was about 6000 years old and would continue

for only about 1000 more years. People explained layers in rocks byreferring to the biblical flood a few thousand years earlier.

Hutton now said that the world was enormously older than 6000years. In fact, rather than a short past and and even shorter future, heput forward the view that the world was unimaginably old and therewas no reason to predict its end:

Hutton’s Rock Cycle

Hutton pictured a cycle in which rocks were eroded into smallparticles and carried eventually to the sea. There they wouldgradually be buried ever more deeply under more eroded material.The heat of the earth would then fuse the small particles back intosolid rock and later lift the rock back to the surface.

Hutton concluded that:

6/26

13-05-2016

• Earth’s interior has a very high temperature.

• Earth’s heat provides the energy to create new rocks.

• Erosion of land by water and air creates materials such as silt, soil

and small rock particles which are carried into the sea, wherelayers of these materials are deposited over long time scales.

• As the layers gather, the earliest layers become buried ever moredeeply in the earth, where they are turned into stone by theearth’s heat.

• Stone is eventually uplifted to form new land.

• The new land is eroded over a long period of time, beginning thecycle again.

The cycle Hutton envisaged could only take place over an immensenumber of years. This is, he pointed out, because the processes oferosion, sedimentation and uplift take place exceedingly slowly.

Some Personal Details and the End

Hutton never married. In 1747, aged 21, he fathered a son, JamesSmeaton Hutton. Although Hutton financially supported his son andhis son’s mother, whose surname was Edington, they saw very little

of one another. In fact, when Hutton left Edinburgh in 1747 to studyin Paris and Leiden and then work in London, it is possible he didthis as a way of putting some distance between himself, MissEdington and his son.

James Hutton died in Edinburgh on March 26, 1797, aged 70, aftersuffering poor health and pain for a number of years caused bybladder stones. He was buried in Edinburgh’s GreyfriarsChurchyard. He had made no will and his estate passed to his

surviving sister. On her death she left a large farm Hutton had ownedto his grandchildren.

KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE

XenotransplantationXenotransplantation is any procedure that involves thetransplantation, implantation or infusion into a human recipient ofeither (a) live cells, tissues, or organs from a nonhuman animalsource, or (b) human body fluids, cells, tissues or organs that havehad ex vivo contact with live nonhuman animal cells, tissues or organs.The development of xenotransplantation is, in part, driven by thefact that the demand for human organs for clinical transplantation

far exceeds the supply.

Currently ten patients die each day in the United States while on thewaiting list to receive lifesaving vital organ transplants. Moreover,recent evidence has suggested that transplantation of cells andtissues may be therapeutic for certain diseases such as

neurodegenerative disorders and diabetes, where, again humanmaterials are not usually available.

Although the potential benefits are considerable, the use of

xenotransplantation raises concerns regarding the potentialinfection of recipients with both recognized and unrecognizedinfectious agents and the possible subsequent transmission to theirclose contacts and into the general human population. Of publichealth concern is the potential for cross-species infection byretroviruses, which may be latent and lead to disease years afterinfection. Moreover, new infectious agents may not be readilyidentifiable with current techniques.
