Importance of higher education and research is becoming more prominent and admission for PhD is increasing year by year in India. Most of the time Research done as part of PhD ends with the submission and acceptance of thesis in Universities. This research future work or extension work might be picked by other PhD candidate in the same or from the different Universities but not sure when it will happen. Also not sure the research completed has achieved its end objective and University is fine to stop that research after spending so much of time and resources of University. This paper insists on continuous research with PhD candidates every year in Universities until the completion of research and scope for reducing the waste of resources and time. This paper considers the importance and effectiveness of Indexing parameters, Indexing agencies, review methods, Journals and relevant concepts. Considering the usefulness and facts of the same to research community building a standard process with procedures to control quality, performance and original research in place, I have built a Research Asset Creation (RAC) model for universities offering PhDs in India by making use of University level Indexing, Indexing parameters, Inter and Intra University peer review methods and University Journal as magazine and as well as Indexing agency. Research cannot be considered just for the award of degree. There is a need for making use of research, resources of University and time spent on research till the objective of the research is accomplished. This can be accomplished by adopting Research Asset Creation model. Complete details of the model, components of the model, implementation, its benefits and usage is discussed in this paper. This is a generalized Model and fit for all Countries which are looking for effective use of research and resources in a progressive manner.

A new 1-MeV transmission electron microscope (Model JEM-1000) was installed at the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology of the University of Colorado in Boulder during the summer and fall of 1972 under the sponsorship of the Division of Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. The installation was completed in October, 1972. It is installed primarily for the study of biological materials without many of the limitations hitherto unavoidable in standard transmission electron microscopy. Only the technical characteristics of the installation are briefly reviewed here. A more detailed discussion of the experimental program under way is being published elsewhere.
