  IAST - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IAST, or International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration is the academic standard for writing the Sanskrit language with the Latin alphabet and very similar to National Library at Calcutta romanization standard being used with many Indic scripts.
IAST is the de-facto standard used in printed publications, like books and magazines, and with the wider availability of Unicode fonts, it is also increasingly used for electronic texts.

 Community Support: Leaf plates and cups
The Institute of Applied Science and Technology (IAST) is at present negotiating with five Indian engineering firms for the purchase of a machine that could make bio-plates and leaf-cups.
Through an agreement reached earlier this year between IAST and the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in India, the acquisition of the machine will facilitate the setting up of the industry by businessman Kumar Ramlall on the East Coast Demerara.
IAST and CSIR have developed a technical cooperation programme under a bilateral agreement between the governments of Guyana and India to facilitate the transfer and implementation of commercial technologies from India to Guyana.

 Devanagari transliteration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most Indian languages make a distinction between the retroflex and dental forms of the dental consonants.
In IAST transliteration, the retroflex forms are ḍ, ṭ, ṇ and ṣ.
In formal transliteration schemes, the standard Roman letters are used to indicate the dental form, and the retroflex form is indicated by special marks, or the use of other letters.

 Sanskrit 3: Comparing transliteration systems
Granted, if you did not read Sanskrit 3 (1), it is possible that you may wonder, "what the heck is that 's' with a written accent on it?" It is the first sibilant, which is written "sh" on our site.
Apart from IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration) and ASTHA (ours), there are many other systems, but two are very important: ITRANS and Harvard-Kyoto.
This written accent might be used in IAST as well, but I have preferred to write the following words without it for the sake of pure convenience.

The IAST model was formulated for a bi-solute system in which TCE and DOM single-solute uptakes were described by the Langmuir-Freundlich and Freundlich isotherms, respectively.
The effect of DOM molecular size and polarity on TCE uptake by preloaded GAC was assessed to identify a reactive fraction of natural water DOM for the purpose of modeling competitive adsorption.
The IAST model was modified to incorporate surface area reduction due to pore blockage by DOM and to reflect the hypothesis that TCE molecules can access adsorption sites.
