India and Pakistan

Prices of natural products such as starch, which is produced ia many countries, and guar, which is produced mainly ia India and Pakistan, are affected by unpredictable factors such as the weather. Toward the end of 1991 prices were rising (93) however, ia the future an oversupply might cause a large drop ia prices. Because of the amounts used, starch is usually purchased locally, and pricing fluctuates with local farm prices and conditions. 

The Energy Black Hole was the title of my presentation in our conference Topics in Energy and Resources held in January, 1974, in Coral Gables. It was 20 years ago when China had a population of 750 million compared to 1.25 billion in the China of today. The Indian population stood at 600 million, versus one billion now, and in 1974 India hadjust produced its first atomic bomb. Recently, in 1998, both India and Pakistan actually detonated hydrogen bombs, thereby becoming members ofthe nuclearclub. The two countries may now find it easier to talk to each other than when only one of them had the bomb. 

However, with the experience of Iraq and N. Korea in mind, there is a belief in anti-nuclear quarters that, should a state wish to develop nuclear weapons, access to civil nuclear technology can be a clear advantage. India and Pakistan appear to be additional examples of that. 

This vegetable gum comes from Cyamopsis tetragonolopus it is extracted from the endosperm of the seeds. The countries of origin are India and Pakistan. 

It is normally found in Sub Saharan Africa, the Middle East, India, and Pakistan. The natural reservoirs are horses, donkeys, and mules. It is relatively heat stable and can survive at room temperature for over 30 days. It is resistant to common disinfectants but is destroyed by sun light.

The United States Congress has seen fit to grant patents on new chemical substances, regardless of how they are made. A few major industrial countries follow suit, some with limitations as to the field of use. Examples are Great Britain, France, Canada (except foods and medicines), Australia, South Africa, India, and Pakistan. But most countries limit patent protection to processes. Germany and most other European countries are examples. Thus, it may be advisable to patent as many processes as possible leading to a desired end product.

The safflower plant is a member of the Compositae family. Other members of this family are the artichoke, chrysanthemum, niger, and sunflower. There are at least 25 species of the Carthamus genus that grow in the wild (18), but only C. tinc-torius, which we call safflower, has been domesticated some quantities of C. oxyacantha have been gathered and used as oil or food sources in India and Pakistan (19). 

Smallpox vaccination is also effective if given after exposure to the disease. Studies of household contacts in India and Pakistan revealed that postexposure vaccination reduced secondary cases up to 91%. The lowest secondary attack rates occurred in contacts vaccinated less than seven days after exposure. Smallpox cases that occurred were typically less severe (modified smallpox) in household contacts receiving postexposure vaccination (25). 

CAS 9000-30-0. A water-soluble plant mucilage obtained from the ground endosperms of Cyanopsis tetragonoloba, cultivated in India and Pakistan as livestock feed, as well as in southwestern U.S. The water-soluble portion of the flour (85%) is called guaran and consists of 35% galactose, 63% mannose, probably combined in a polysaccharide, and 5-7% protein.
