Department of Geology, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati has organized National Conference on ¿Basin dynamics, Facies architecture and Paleoclimate¿ under the aegis of 34th Convention of Indian Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) during 19-21 December, 2017. Dr. Ashok K. Srivastava, Professor, Department of Geology, SGB Amravati University Amravati was the Convener. Five keynote lectures have been delivered focusing on the critical, essential and fundamental topics of earth sciences by well known personalities of their field. Two parallel technical sessions were arranged during the convention because of large number of abstracts received. The total 64 papers were presented out of 94 during the two days convention. The ¿Young Sedimentologist Award¿ was organized. For this, three students were participated but the panel could not find suitable candidate by IAS.

In 1996 the 75th anniversary of the discovery of insulin was celebrated at the University of Toronto, the scene of that discovery in 1921. This volume was stimulated by the scientific program which was staged at that time and brought together much of the world's best talent to discuss and analyze the most recent developments in our understanding of pancreatic function, insulin secretion, the interaction of insulin with its target tissues, the mechanism of insulin action at the cellular level, and the defects which underlie both Type I (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM) and Type II (noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) forms of the disease. We have chosen to focus the present volume on work related to insulin action.
