| Abstract | Summary form only given. By reducing the duration of electrical pulses from microseconds into the nanosecond range, the electric field-cell interactions shift increasingly from the plasma (cell) membrane to subcellular structures. Yet another domain of pulsed electric field interactions with cell structures and functions opens when the pulse duration is reduced to values such that membrane charging becomes negligible, and direct electric field-molecule effects determine the biological mechanisms. For mammalian cells, this holds for a pulse duration of less than one nanosecond. In addition to entering a new domain of electric field-cell interactions, entering the subnanosecond temporal range will allow us to use near-field-focusing, wideband antennas, rather than needle or plate electrodes, to generate large pulsed electric fields with reasonable spatial resolution in tissue. Modeling results indicate that electric field intensities of tens (up to perhaps hundreds) of kV/cm with a spatial resolution of a few mm can be generated with prolate-spheroidal reflectors with TEM wave-launching structures, and using state-of-the-art pulsed power technology. In order to study the biological effect of subnanosecond pulses, we have developed a sub-ns pulse generator capable of delivering 250 kV into a high impedance load. The pulse width is approximately 600 ps with a voltage rise of up to 1 MV/ns. The pulses have been applied to B16 (murine melanoma) cells, and the plasma membrane integrity was studied by means of trypan blue exclusion. The results show that temporary nanopores in the plasma membrane are generated, allowing the uptake of drugs or nanoparticles without affecting the viability of the cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
