The past decade has witnessed intense interest in nutraceuticals in which phytochemical constituents have long-term health promoting or medicinal qualities. Secondary products have a variety of functions in plants; it is likely that their ecological function have some potential medicinal effects for humans. Between 1990 and 2020, deaths from non-communicable diseases and injury are expected to rise from 33 million to 58 million, with a similar proportional increase in mortality. It’s been estimated that by 2020, chronic diseases will account for almost three-fourths of all deaths. World Health Organization encourages the addition of secondary metabolites of plants in life saving drugs. Disorders like hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardio vascular diseases, stroke, cancer, kidney disease and other diseases of unknown etiology are increasing due to poor diet pattern, stress, loss of physical activity, toxic substance in foods etc. Nutraceuticals and phytomedicines in the plant help in preventing these metabolic diseases without any side effects. Identification of these phytomedicines and Nutraceuticals and regular incorporation into the diet helps to increase the longevity...

HVAC maintain both comfort and safety of indoor air quality. The challenge of maintaining high product quality while simultaneously reducing production costs can often be met through investments in energy efficient technologies and energy efficiency practices. The greatest opportunities for energy efficiency exist at the design stage for HVAC systems in new industrial facilities. By sizing components of HVAC systems generally include dampers, supply and exhaust fans, filters, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heating and cooling coils, ducts, and various sensors properly and designing energy efficiency into a new facility, an industry can minimize the energy consumption and operational costs of its plant HVAC systems from the outset. Optimizing system design and operations, such as minimizing laboratory ventilation, can also lead to significant reductions in energy use. Energy efficiency improvement is an important way to reduce these costs and to increase predictable earnings, especially in times of high energy price volatility. There are a variety of opportunities available at individual plants in the industry to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective...
