Micro Channels

Ayurvedic classics proclaim Srotasa as the system of channels designed as biological transport system performing divergent functions. Indeed, it is a generic term indicating all the macro and micro channels and pathways operat- ing in the living organism. Broadly Srotasa are classified in two categories: Bahirmukha and Antarmukha. Ar- tavavaha Srotasa is enumerated as one of the Antarmukha Srotasa by Sushruta, playing an important role in transformation of Artava and Artava Chakra, and Garbhotpatti, having Garbhasaya and Artavavahi Dhamani as its Moolasthana. Keywords: Antarmukha, Artavavaha, Garbhotpatti, Moolasthana, Srotasa

The Difference

Any discussion on the navigational problems of hovercraft must obviously be closely associated with the control characteristics of the craft. Although these machines have been widely publicized as capable of operating over almost any terrain which is reasonably flat, it will be assumed that the present discussion is concerned primarily with operation over water.The word hovercraft may be regarded as a generic term in the same category as aircraft, ship, motor vehicle &c., and practical examples are likely to take a variety of forms depending upon their particular application. Thus, the control characteristics and the way in which they affect the navigational problem are likely to vary, in degree at least, amongst the different types. Again, it must be realized that the hovercraft as a transport system is only at the beginning of a long development phase, and any remarks of a general nature which are made at this time must be read in that context. Even at this early stage, however, two distinct applications of the hovercraft principle, as applied to over-water transport machines, have emerged and it is important to appreciate the difference between them.

Active Transport System

The plasma membranes of most animal cells contain transport proteins which function to provide passageways for the transported species across essentially impermeable lipid bilayers. The channel is a passive transport system which allows the movement of ions and low molecular weight molecules along their concentration gradients. The pump is an active transport system and can translocate cations against their natural concentration gradients. The actions and interplay of these two kinds of transport proteins control crucial cell functions such as active transport, excitability and cell communication. In this paper, we will describe and compare several features of the molecular organization of pumps and channels. As an example of an active transport system, we will discuss the structure of the sodium and potassium ion-activated triphosphatase [(Na+ +K+)-ATPase] and as an example of a passive transport system, the communicating channel of gap junctions and lens junctions.

Research Tools

Social media contain a significant potential as a research tool in the scholarly study of contemporary religion. This article, therefore, does not feed into the thematic field of “online ethnography” further, but is instead an attempt to utilize the online sphere as constructive research tools to gather more thorough ethnographic data in the field. Approaching Facebook as a toolbox rather than an object, this article is an attempt to demystify social media in general and Facebook in particular. Utilizing these media forms as efficient tools throughout the research process, the article looks at primarily two phases of the process, pre fieldwork and post-fieldwork, and explores the various components of Facebook in combination with these two phases. It is argued that Facebook represents a “Hub Keeper,” which is a generic term referring to three primary methodological functions: it is a Gate-Keeper that enables identification and recruitment of interviewees; it is a hub containing a variety of data; and, it is a Gateway for validation of data.
