Principles of Toxicology Testing

Principles of Toxicology Testing

Nationally toxicology programs have evolved from a traditional exploration of the chemistry and applied toxicity of chemicals and drugs to a more comprehensive study of toxicology and toxicology testing as independent entities. Consequently the second edition of Principles of Toxicology Testing starts with basic toxicological principles including absorption distribution metabolism and elimination of toxins including chemicals and drugs. The book then continues with animal (in vivo) and in vitro toxicology testing methods associated with toxicological analysis and preclinical drug development. As in the first edition the book begins with an introduction into the fundamentals of toxicology (Section I) to prepare readers for the subsequent topics and continues through with a discussion of toxicokinetics and human risk assessment. This introductory material is useful in understanding the applications of toxicology testing. Section II describes the fundamental principles of toxicology testing in animals in greater detail. This section describes acute toxicity studies as well as subchronic and chronic studies performed on animals. Special emphasis is placed on study design and determination of classical indicators for acute and chronic testing such as the LD50. The book examines other short- and long-term animal toxicity testing methodologies including dermal ocular and reproductive toxicity testing. In addition mutagenicity and carcinogenicity studies are also discussed in separate chapters. Section III introduces and discusses in vitro alternatives to animal toxicology tests. This section emphasizes cell culture methodology and cellular methods for acute systemic toxicity target organ toxicity and local toxicity. The contributors present the advantages and disadvantages of alternative methods. They also describe the use of high-throughput screening and its applications the concepts of standardizatio

Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Materials Theoretical Foundations

Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Materials Theoretical Foundations

Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Materials: Theoretical Foundations explores the mathematical foundations and emerging applications of this testing process which is based on elastic wave propagation in isotropic and anisotropic solids. In covering ultrasonic nondestructive testing methods the book emphasizes the engineering point of view yet it relies on the physics and mathematics aspects involved in elastic wave propagation theory. As a result this resource becomes a missing link in the literature by combining coverage of the theoretical aspects of testing and providing intuitive assessments of numerous standard problems to illustrate fundamental assertions. Content includes a brief description of the theory of acoustic and electromagnetic fields to underline the similarities and differences as compared to elastodynamics. It also covers vector algebra and analysis elastic plane and Rayleigh surface waves and ultrasonic beams as well as transducer radiation inverse scattering and ultrasonic nondestructive imaging. Includes numerical computations to explain wave propagation phenomena and compare results of analytical formulations Although ultrasonic nondestructive testing can often be roughly understood in terms of plane waves and beams this book addresses the key issues of transducer radiation and defect scattering and imaging respectively. The authors physically formulate point source synthesis and in mathematical terms they use representation integrals with Green functions always including intuitive interpretations with mathematical evaluations. Replacing cumbersome index notation with a coordinate-free version this reference offers step-by-step documentation of relevant tensorial elastodynamic cases involving isotropic and anisotropic materials. It provides all necessary mathematical tools readers require to understand the mathematical and physical basis for ultrasonic nondestructive testing. | Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Materials Theoretical Foundations

Antimicrobials in Food

Antimicrobials in Food

Fifteen years have passed since the 3rd edition of Antimicrobials in Food was published. It was arguably considered the must-have reference for those needing information on chemical antimicrobials used in foods. In the years since the last edition the food industry has undergone radical transformations because of changes on several fronts. Reported consumer demands for the use of natural and clean-label antimicrobials have increased significantly. The discovery of new foodborne pathogen niches and potentially hazardous foods along with a critical need to reduce food spoilage waste has increased the need for suitable antimicrobial compounds or systems. Novel natural antimicrobials continue to be discovered and new research has been carried out on traditional compounds. These and other related issues led the editors to develop the 4th edition of Antimicrobials in Food. In the 4th edition the editors have compiled contemporary topics with information synthesized from internationally recognized authorities in their fields. In addition to updated information new chapters have been added in this latest release with content on the use of bacteriophages lauric arginate ester and various systems for antimicrobial encapsulation and delivery. Comprehensive revisions of landmark chapters in previous editions including naturally occurring antimicrobials from both animal and plant sources methods for determining antimicrobial activity new approaches to multifactorial food preservation or hurdle technology and mechanisms of action resistance and stress adaptation are included. Complementing these topics is new information on quantifying the capability of clean antimicrobials for food preservation when compared to traditional food preservatives and industry considerations when antimicrobials are evaluated for use in food manufacture. Features Covers all food antimicrobials natural and synthetic with the latest research on each type Contains 5 000+ references on every conceivable food antimicrobial Guides in the selection of appropriate additives for specific food products Includes innovations in antimicrobial delivery technologies and the use of multifactorial food preservation with antimicrobials
