| Abstract | Interaction of two successive shock waves (tandem shocks) in water focused to a common focal point has been investigated. Amplitude of the compression part of the wave s as high as 100 MPa, while amplitude of the dilution part of the wave reaches down to -25 MPa in the focus. At that underpressure numerous cavitations are produced. It was demonstrated that the acoustical inhomogeneity created in water by the first wave strongly modifies propagation of the second one. Measurements of waveforms by PVDF shock gauges at the focus indicate that the second wave is strongly attenuated at some time delays between shocks. At time delays in the interval 50-500 mus the second wave is totally damped at the focus. Schlieren photography of the focal region demonstrates that the interaction of two successive shocks results in creation of a very complex pressure field at the focus to which contribute many secondary spherical short wavelength shocks that originate in collapsing cavitations. The tandem shock waves can be potentially applied to sonodynamic treatment of cancer tumors. Effect of the tandem shock waves on melanoma cells B16 has been investigated. Micro photographs of cells demonstrate that even a small number of shocks (100) result in perforation of cell membranes. At present an enhancement of treatment efficiency by the activation of sonosensitizers combined with the perforation of cell membranes is studied. |

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.
