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 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 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.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE
Henry Moseley
1887 1915
Henry Moseley was an outstandingly skilled experimental physicist.In 1913 he used self-built equipment to prove that every elements
identity is uniquely determined by the number of protons it has. Hisdiscovery enabled him to predict confidently the existence of fournew chemical elements, all of which were found.
Early Life and Education
Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley was born in the town of Weymouth,England, on November 23, 1887.
His parents were both from well-educated families. His father, who
was also named Henry, was a professor of anatomy and physiology.His mother, Amabel, was the daughter of a barrister who hadchanged careers to become a mollusc biologist.
Henry Moseley was educated in private schools. His first school wasSummer Fields School an elementary school. There he won ascholarship for Eton College, which is probably Britains mostprestigious high school.
Some time after arriving at Eton he decided the schools physicslessons were too easy, so he worked on the subject independently.Aged 18, he won Etons physics and chemistry prizes.
Already a high achiever, he was admitted in 1906 to the University ofOxfords Trinity College, where he studied physics. There hedisappointed himself. He was suffering badly from hayfever when he

sat his final exams. He got a second class honors degree in physics,not the first he had hoped for and expected.
The Atomic Battery
Working in Rutherfords group, it was inevitable that Moseleywould work with radioactive chemical elements.
After becoming familiar with the field, he went beyond experimentsothers had thought of and came up with his own particular twist.
In 1912 he attempted to use high positive voltages to pull betaparticles (high energy electrons) back into their radioactive source.(This sounds like a fun sort of thing anyway, but Moseley hoped to
use the results to shed light on one of the predictions ofAlbertEinsteinsspecial theory of relativity: that mass increases withvelocity.)
He tried to pull the beta particles back by insulating their radioactivesource (radium) so that it would become increasingly positive as thebeta particles carried negative charge away.
If the radium could reach an electric potential of one million volts,then even the most energetic beta particles would be pulled back
into the source as they were emitted. Unfortunately, the high degreeof perfection needed in insulating the radium could not be achieved,so one million volts could not be reached.
However, by generating voltages (about 150,000 volts) on aradioactive source, Moseley actually created the worlds first atomicbattery a beta cell. He called it a radium battery.
Today, atomic batteries are used where long battery life is crucial,
such as in cardiac pacemakers and spacecraft.Antonius van den Broeks Hypothesis
In 1911 Antonius van den Broek had published his hypothesisthat atomic number which at this time was simply the position of anelement in the periodic table might actually be equal to the amount

of charge in the atoms nucleus. There was, however, no experimentalevidence to prove this hypothesis.
Enter Henry Moseley!
Shooting Electrons at the Elements
Moseley had learned from William and Lawrence Bragg that whenhigh-energy electrons hit solids such as metals, the solids emit X-rays.
This intrigued Moseley, who wondered if he could study these X-rays to learn more about what goes on inside atoms; he had van denBroeks hypothesis in mind specifically.
He moved back to Oxford in 1913. Rutherford had offered him a newfellowship at Manchester on better terms, but Moseley decided thebest path for his career would be to get experience in severaldifferent laboratories. There was no fellowship open at Oxford, butMoseley believed one was coming up. He was given laboratory space,but had to self-fund his work.
In a very small amount of time he personally put togetherexperimental apparatus to shoot high-energy electrons at different
chemical elements and measure the wavelength and frequencies ofthe resulting X-rays.
He discovered that each element emits X-rays at a unique frequency.He also found he could get a straight line graph by plotting thesquare-root of X-ray frequency against elements atomic numbers.
Startlingly, Moseley realized that his work had confirmed van denBroeks hypothesis.
His data made most sense if the positive charge in the atomic nucleusincreased by exactly one unit as you look from one element to thenext in the periodic table. In other words, he discovered that anelements atomic number is identical to how many protons it has.

New Method of Identifying Elements
As if his explanation of the periodic table were not enough, Moseleyhad also discovered a new non-destructive method to find out whichelements are present in any sample: you bombard the sample withhigh-energy electrons and look at the frequencies of the resulting X-rays. These X-rays are as good as a fingerprint for any elementspresent in the sample.
At the time, this was a particularly welcome technique for rare-earthchemists, who had found their work becoming almost nightmarish.The rare-earth metals behave so similarly that to analyze a samplecontaining these elements could take years of work. Moseley could
now do it in minutes!X-ray spectroscopy is now used in laboratories all over the world. Itis also used to study other worlds, such as Mars.
The End
In 1914 Rutherford and Bragg recommended to the University ofOxford that Moseley should be appointed to a chair of physics thatwas becoming vacant there.
Moseley, however, had other ideas.
When World War 1 began in 1914 he enlisted as a volunteer in theBritish Armys Royal Engineers. His family pleaded with him tocontinue his scientific research, and the army was reluctant to accepthim. Moseley had to fight hard to get into the army.
Second Lieutenant Henry Moseley was killed in battle at the age of27 in Gallipoli, Turkey on August 10, 1915. His grave is located on
Turkeys Gallipoli Peninsula.As a result of Moseleys death, and after much lobbying by ErnestRutherford, the British Government placed a ban on other scientistsof repute serving in front-line roles.

In 1916 no Nobel Prizes were awarded in physics or chemistry. Thereis a strong scientific consensus that Henry Moseley, had he beenalive, would have received one of these awards.

Zika virus
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of thevirus familyFlaviviridaeand
thegenusFlavivirus,transmitted by daytime-activeAedesmosquitoes,
such as A. aegyptiandA. albopictus. Its name comes from theZika
Forest ofUganda, where the virus was first isolated in 1947. Zika
virus is related todengue,yellow fever,Japanese encephalitis,
andWest Nileviruses. Outbreaks of Zika virus disease have been
recorded in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific.
Signs and Symptoms
The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) ofZika virus disease is not clear, but is likely to be a few days. Thesymptoms are similar to other arbovirus infections such asdengue, and include fever, skin rashes, conjunctivitis, muscle and

joint pain, malaise, and headache. These symptoms are usuallymild and last for 2-7 days.
Potential complications of Zika virus disease
During large outbreaks in French Polynesia and Brazil in 2013 and2015 respectively, national health authorities reported potentialneurological and auto-immune complications of Zika virus disease.Recently in Brazil, local health authorities have observed anincrease in Guillain-Barr syndrome which coincided with Zikavirus infections in the general public, as well as an increase inbabies born with microcephaly in northeast Brazil. Agenciesinvestigating the Zika outbreaks are finding an increasing body ofevidence about the link between Zika virus and microcephaly.
However, more investigation is needed to better understand therelationship between microcephaly in babies and the Zika virus.Other potential causes are also being investigated.Transmission
Zika virus is transmitted to people through the bite of an infectedmosquito from theAedesgenus, mainlyAedes aegyptiin tropicalregions. This is the same mosquito that transmits dengue,chikungunya and yellow fever. However, sexual transmission of
Zika virus has been described in 2 cases, and the presence of theZika virus in semen in 1 additional case.Zika virus disease outbreaks were reported for the first time fromthe Pacific in 2007 and 2013 (Yap and French Polynesia,respectively), and in 2015 from the Americas (Brazil and Colombia)and Africa (Cape Verde). In addition, more than 13 countries in theAmericas have reported sporadic Zika virus infections indicatingrapid geographic expansion of Zika virus.Diagnosis
Infection with Zika virus may be suspected based on symptomsand recent history (e.g. residence or travel to an area where Zikavirus is known to be present). Zika virus diagnosis can only beconfirmed by laboratory testing for the presence of Zika virus RNAin the blood or other body fluids, such as urine or saliva.

Prevention
Mosquitoes and their breeding sites pose a significant risk factorfor Zika virus infection. Prevention and control relies on reducingmosquitoes through source reduction (removal and modification ofbreeding sites) and reducing contact between mosquitoes andpeople.This can be done by using insect repellent regularly; wearingclothes (preferably light-coloured) that cover as much of the bodyas possible; using physical barriers such as window screens, closeddoors and windows; and if needed, additional personal protection,such as sleeping under mosquito nets during the day. It isextremely important to empty, clean or cover containers regularly
that can store water, such as buckets, drums, pots etc. Othermosquito breeding sites should be cleaned or removed includingflower pots, used tyres and roof gutters. Communities mustsupport the efforts of the local government to reduce the density ofmosquitoes in their locality.Repellents should contain DEET (N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), IR3535 (3-[N-acetyl-N-butyl]-aminopropionicacid ethyl ester) or icaridin (1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methylpropylester). Product label instructionsshould be strictly followed. Special attention and help should begiven to those who may not be able to protect themselvesadequately, such as young children, the sick or elderly.During outbreaks, health authorities may advise that spraying ofinsecticides be carried out. Insecticides recommended by the WHOPesticide Evaluation Scheme may also be used as larvicides to treatrelatively large water containers.Travellers should take the basic precautions described above to
protect themselves from mosquito bites.Treatment
Zika virus disease is usually relatively mild and requires no specifictreatment. People sick with Zika virus should get plenty of rest,drink enough fluids, and treat pain and fever with common
