TL;DR: The physical conditions of metamorphism have been evaluated by applying methods of geothermobarometry to the widespread charnockitic assemblages with garnet, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxenes, plagioclase, and quartz as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In the southern part of the Archaean craton of South India, an approximately 3.4–2.9 b.y. old migmatite–gneiss terrane (Peninsular gneiss complex) has been subjected to granulite facies metamorphism about 2.6 b.y. ago. During this event, the extensive charnockite-khondalite zone of southern India developed. A younger metamorphism (Proterozoic?) led to retrogression of the charnockites and khondalites, mainly under the conditions of the amphibolite facies.The physical conditions of metamorphism have been evaluated by applying methods of geothermobarometry to the widespread charnockitic assemblages with garnet, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, and quartz. The interpretation of the P–T estimates includes a critical discussion of potential error sources, e.g. errors of the analytical data and the calibrations of the models, and takes into account the complex metamorphic history of the rocks and the kinetics of the mineral equilibria.P-T estimates were obtained for seven subareas from the rim compositions of the coexisting minerals: Shevaroy Hills 680±55°C—7·4±1 kb; Kollaimalai area 680±40°C—8·6± 1 kb; Nilgiri Hills 680±90°C—6·6±0.8kb (upland massif) and 705±60°C—9·3±0.8 kb (northern margin); Bhavani Sagar area 650±50°C—7·2± 1 kb; Sargur-Mysore area 690±60°C—7·6 kb; Bangalore-Kunigal-Satnur area 760±50°C—6 kb. Except for the last subarea, the P-T model data reflect the conditions of a late annealing stage probably related to the retrogressive metamorphism. Conditions near the peak of granulite facies metamorphism (730–800°C—6·5–9·5 kb) are recorded by the core compositions of the minerals. Although a rather uniform cooling history of the main part of the charnockite-khondalite terrane is suggested from the temperature data, differential uplift of smaller blocks is indicated by the regional variation of the pressure data.

TL;DR: In the present editorial, the advantages of vitamin E TPGS-coated liposomes over the currently available PEG-coating liposome will be described and their great potentials for nanotheranostics for cancer imaging and therapy will be covered.
Abstract: Liposomes are one of the effective drug delivery systems that are developed based on the nanotechnology concept. Liposomal formulation is the first nanomedicine approved by the US FDA for clinical application. Recently, the marketed liposomes and stealth liposomes have made impact for cancer therapy. In addition, a few receptor-targeted liposome products have been in different phases of clinical trials, which are yet to be marketed. In the present editorial, the advantages of vitamin E TPGS-coated liposomes over the currently available PEG-coated liposomes will be described and their great potentials for nanotheranostics for cancer imaging and therapy will be covered.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the temporal variation of PM10 using 2-year data (January, 2007-December, 2008) of Delhi, with an average 114.1 ± 1.1μgm−3.
Abstract: Temporal variation of PM10 using 2-year data (January, 2007–December, 2008) of Delhi is presented. PM10 varied from 42 to 200 μg m−3 over January to December, with an average 114.1 ± 81.1 μg m−3. They are comparable with the data collected by Central Pollution Control Board (National Agency which monitors data over the entire country in India) and are lower than National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standard during monsoon, close to NAAQ during summer but higher in winter. Among CO, NO2, SO2, rainfall, temperature, and wind speed, PM10 shows good correlation with CO. Also, PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 levels on Deepawali days when fireworks were displayed are presented. In these festive days, PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 levels were 723, 588, and 536 μg m−3 in 2007 and 501, 389, and 346 μg m−3 in 2008. PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 levels in 2008 were 1.5 times lower than those in 2007 probably due to higher mixing height (446 m), temperature (23.8°C), and winds (0.36 ms−1).
