Conventional printing conditions described - SNAP, GRACoL, SWOP, Fogra, CRPC. New sections on Pantone EXTENDED GAMUT Guide. Introduction to XML for color management applications. Understanding Color Management, 2nd Edition is a valuable resource for digital photographers, keen amateurs and end-users, graphic designers and artists, web masters, production and prepress operators and supervisors, color scientists and researchers, color consultants, and manufacturers. It is a must-have course text for college and university students of graphics arts, graphic communications, digital photography, print media, and imaging arts and sciences. The Society for Imaging Science and Technology (imaging.org) is an international professional society whose mission is to keep members and others aware of the latest scientific and technological developments in the greater field of imaging. A major objective of the Wiley-IS&T series is to advance this goal at the professional level. The broad scope of the series focuses on imaging in all its aspects, with particular emphasis on digital printing, electronic imaging, image assessment and reproduction, image archiving and preservation, color science, pre-press technologies, and hybrid imaging systems.

This innovative reader brings together classic theoretical texts and cutting-edge ethnographic analyses of specific state institutions, practices, and processes and outlines an anthropological framework for rethinking future study of "the state."
Focuses on the institutions, spaces, ideas, practices, and representations that constitute the "state."
Promotes cultural and transnational approaches to the subject.
Helps readers to make anthropological sense of the state as a cultural artifact, in the context of a neoliberalizing, transnational world.

An accessible guide to all aspects of molecular fluorescence spectroscopy This book introduces the uninitiated reader to the growing body of analytical methods based on molecular fluorescence. Geared to practitioners with no particular training or exposure to the field, it highlights fluorescence spectroscopy’s tremendous appeal in present-day pharmaceutical, biomedical, and environmental analysis. Written by two highly respected experts in the field, Introduction to Fluorescence Spectroscopy covers all aspects of the technology—physical fundamentals, instrumentation, methods, and applications. The information is offered at 0a very practical level and addresses a broad range of chemical, physical, biological, and geological problems. The authors incorporate recent advances in commercially available instrumentation as well as fluorescent derivatizing agents, provide many examples of state-of-the-art applications, and discuss future trends. Concise, accessible, up-to-date, Introduction to Fluorescence Spectroscopy is an indispensable reference and an invaluable primer for those involved in the field of analytical science and other professionals interested in this fast-evolving analytical technique.

The coverage of this volume ranges from Cycads and Pines of Gymnosperms to monocot genera of significance in phylogeny, agri-horticulture and commerce. The previous volume (1C), dealt with dicot counterparts. Noteworthy features of the volume include molecular phylogeny of Cycads, correlation of genomics and micro habitat in Pinus, genome studies in oil and datepalm, correlation of molecular data with habit in orchids, congruence of karyotype and molecular data in Festuca and analysis of putative ancestors in Avena. The volume will be of interest to all students of genomics interested in phylogeny, agri-horticulture and commercial plants.

PARP Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of the role of PARP in cancer therapy. The volume covers the history of the discovery of PARP (poly ADP ribose polymerase) and its role in DNA repair. In addition, a description of discovery of the PARP family, and other DNA maintenance-associated PARPs will also be discussed. The volume also features a section on accessible chemistry behind the development of inhibitors. PARP inhibitors are a group of pharmacological inhibitors that are a particularly good target for cancer therapy. PARP plays a pivotal role in DNA repair and may contribute to the therapeutic resistance to DNA damaging agents used to treat cancer. Researchers have learned a tremendous amount about the biology of PARP and how tumour-specific defects in DNA repair can be exploited by PARPi. The "synthetic lethality" of PARPi is an exciting concept for cancer therapy and has led to a heightened activity in this area.

Low Back Pain has remain one of a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting 80% of people at some point in their lives..There is rarely any individual including the medical professional who has not suffered with low back pain.This pain if is severe has become the reason for disability for many patients.In the United States it is the most common cause of job-related disability, a leading contributor to missed work, and the second most common neurological ailment - only headache is more common.It can be either acute, subacute or chronic in duration. With conservative measures, the symptoms of low back pain typically show significant improvement within a few weeks from onset.There are various scales of disability for low back pain, among them Roland And Morris Functional Disability Questionnaire is best used to know level of disability. Straight Leg Raise(SLR) is 'Diagnosis Directive' test done by almost every Doctor.The angle of SLR at which back pain, tingling, etc.starts play an important role to know the level of disability.If a Doctor knows the Angle of SLR for symptoms it can make diagnosis very simpler.This book gives correlation of SLR and Low Back Pain in terms of disability.

The demolition of the Babri Mosque at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 was an event as significant as it was unexpected. In this book, nine scholars (Theodore P. Wright, Jr., John J. Carroll, Matthew A. Cook, Dhirendra K. Vajpeyi, Subhas C. Kashyap, Steven A. Hoffman, Srinivas Tilak, Koenraad Elst, and Vasudha Narayanan) explore the myriad significances of this event for the Hindu and Muslim communities, and for the relations between them, in India.

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 196."Extreme Events and Natural Hazards: The Complexity Perspective" examines recent developments in complexity science that provide a new approach to understanding extreme events. This understanding is critical to the development of strategies for the prediction of natural hazards and mitigation of their adverse consequences. The volume is a comprehensive collection of current developments in the understanding of extreme events. The following critical areas are highlighted: understanding extreme events, natural hazard prediction and development of mitigation strategies, recent developments in complexity science, global change and how it relates to extreme events, and policy sciences and perspective. With its overarching theme, Extreme Events and Natural Hazards will be of interest and relevance to scientists interested in nonlinear geophysics, natural hazards, atmospheric science, hydrology, oceanography, tectonics, and space weather.
