Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad

Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad

Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad compares the evolution of several cities in the Near East from the time of Alexander the Great until the beginning of the Islamic 'Abbasid Dynasty. This volume examines both archaeological remains and literary sources to explain the diversity of imperial cultural and religious influences on urban life. It offers several case studies chosen from different regions of the Roman Near East demonstrating that Greco-Roman and Islamic culture spread unevenly through these various cities and that it is impossible to make broad generalizations. It argues instead that there were different patterns of urbanism that demonstrate a continued vitality of civic life up to the 'Abbasid revolution. Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad will be of particular interest to students of this period in the Ancient Near East as well as those studying ancient cities and everyday life.

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

Automated Software Testing with Cypress

Automated Software Testing with Cypress

Unit Integration Testing (UIT) had been a challenge because there was no tool that could help in XHR programming and unit integration validations in an efficient way until Cypress arrived. Cypress started releasing versions in 2015 and became popular in 2018 with version 2. 0. 0. This book explores Cypress scripts that help implement ‘shift left testing’ which is a dream come true for many software testers. Shift left occurs in the majority of testing projects but could not be implemented fully because tools were unavailable and knowledge was lacking about the possibilities of testing early in the life cycle. Shift left is a key testing strategy to help testing teams focus less on defect identifications and more on developing practices to prevent defects. Cypress scripts can help front-end developers and quality engineers to work together to find defects soon after web components are built. These components can be tested immediately after they are built with Cypress Test Driven Development (TDD) scripts. Thus defects can be fixed straight away during the development stage. Testing teams do not have to worry about finding these same defects in a later development stage because Cypress tests keep verifying components in the later stages. Defect fixing has become much cheaper with Cypress than when other tools are used. The book also covers Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)-based Gherkin scripts and the Cypress Cucumber preprocessor which can improve test scenario coverage. Automated Software Testing with Cypress is written to fulfil the BDD and TDD needs of testing teams. Two distinct open source repositories are provided in Github to help start running Cypress tests in no time!

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Originally published in 1972 there were many ‘classics’ dealing with assessment and testing on the market at the time but most of these left the inexperienced reader bewildered in the early stages because of their size and insufficient explanation of the many technical terms used. There were a distinct lack of books which gave students in Colleges of Education dealing with psychology for the first time a simple explanation of basic terms in assessment and testing and which introduced them briefly to the different types of tests available. Assessment and Testing aimed to fill this large gap. It looks at such key psychological terms as ‘sample’ ‘objectivity’ ‘subjectivity’ and such basic statistical terms such as ‘mean’ ‘standard deviation’ and ‘normal curve of distribution’. Because it assumes that the reader has no knowledge of such terms it gives careful and simply illustrated explanations of each. In the same way in simple language with any technical terms explained and illustrated it explains intelligence and personality tests questionnaires sociometric measures projection techniques and other areas of assessment and testing which every practising teacher will meet. The book aims to be essentially practical. It is appreciated all the time that the readers are those who will teach children. It is designed to provide a solid foundation upon which the reader can build later to augment his own experience of identifying children’s particular needs. | Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Sequential Analysis: Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection systematically develops the theory of sequential hypothesis testing and quickest changepoint detection. It also describes important applications in which theoretical results can be used efficiently. The book reviews recent accomplishments in hypothesis testing and changepoint detection both in decision-theoretic (Bayesian) and non-decision-theoretic (non-Bayesian) contexts. The authors not only emphasize traditional binary hypotheses but also substantially more difficult multiple decision problems. They address scenarios with simple hypotheses and more realistic cases of two and finitely many composite hypotheses. The book primarily focuses on practical discrete-time models with certain continuous-time models also examined when general results can be obtained very similarly in both cases. It treats both conventional i. i. d. and general non-i. i. d. stochastic models in detail including Markov hidden Markov state-space regression and autoregression models. Rigorous proofs are given for the most important results. Written by leading authorities in the field this book covers the theoretical developments and applications of sequential hypothesis testing and sequential quickest changepoint detection in a wide range of engineering and environmental domains. It explains how the theoretical aspects influence the hypothesis testing and changepoint detection problems as well as the design of algorithms. | Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

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
