Drug action in biological systems is a subject of research as they exert their action by the interactions with different bio-macromolecules. Drug-macromolecular interactions involved in different physiological phenomenon, such as drug transport and anaesthesia. These interactions are generally complex in nature and therefore difficult to understand. Physico-chemical and thermodynamic studies provide information regarding the pattern of drug-macromolecular aggregation. Most of the biochemical processes is temperature dependant and occurs in aqueous media. Therefore thermo physical properties of drug-macromolecular systems in aqueous media at different temperatures provide valuable information in medicinal chemistry. Generally drug molecules contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups hence it exhibits a number of specific and non specific interactions in aqueous media. Volumetric, viscometric and acoustic properties are helpful in understanding these interactions

The Second World War represents a particularly important moment in the development of the postcolonial Indian stateΓÇÖs welfare policies. Wartime measures regarding state-provisioning of food far outlived the war, and became permanent fixtures of the post-war and post-colonial structure of governance in India. Long after the war had finished and even as far as today, the post-colonial Indian adopted food austerity measures as part of its campaign to ΓÇÿremakeΓÇÖ Indian diets, for instance asking Indian citizens to accept substitute foods in place of rice and wheat to ease the pressure on these staple grains. This book charts the germination of these policies during the conflict.
