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

India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

Today India�s education sector remains a victim of poor policies restrictive regulations and orthodoxy. Despite being enrolled in schools children are not learning adequately. Increasingly parents are seeking alternatives through private inputs in school and tuition. Students are dropping out from secondary school in spite of high financial returns of secondary education and those who do complete it have inferior conceptual knowledge. Higher education is over-regulated and under-governed keeping away serious private providers and reputed global institutes. Graduates from high schools colleges and universities are not readily employable and few are willing to pay for skill development. Ironically the Right to Education Act if strictly enforced will result in closure of thousands of non-state schools and millions of poor children will be left without access to education. Eleventh in the series India Infrastructure Report 2012 discusses challenges in the education sector � elementary secondary higher and vocational � and explores strategies for constructive change and opportunities for the private sector. It suggests that immediate steps are required to reform the sector to reap the benefits from India�s �demographic dividend� due to a rise in the working age population. Result of a collective effort led by the IDFC Foundation this Report brings together a range of perspectives from academics researchers and practitioners committed to enhancing educational practices. It will be an invaluable resource for policymakers researchers and corporates. | India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century A Public – Private Partnership

Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century A Public – Private Partnership

Brazil’s growing dependence on agriculture has positioned agribusiness in a uniquely privileged position to influence Brazilian foreign policy. Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century examines how the inclusion of domestic “national champions” in foreign policy has shaped events within key global governance arenas. Starting with an explanation of the structural economic importance of agriculture within the Brazilian economy Niels Søndergaard tells the story of agribusiness’ participation in foreign policy and how this Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy has unfolded in recent decades. Expanding on his extensive archival research undertaken in the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and interviews with key figures Søndergaard analyzes decision-making processes in multilateral trade negotiations WTO dispute settlement joint lobbying transnational multistakeholder governance bilateral interactions and within the agriculture–climate nexus. These case studies show how a clear convergence of interests close coordination resource pooling and coalition formation as part of this “public–private partnership” has produced impactful results within the wider global governance landscape and how key goals of agricultural diplomacy have been internalized by actors in the foreign policymaking process. Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century is suitable for scholars and researchers studying developing economies in global governance power transitions and multilateralism food and climate politics and domestic interests in foreign policy. | Brazilian Agricultural Diplomacy in the 21st Century A Public – Private Partnership
