Dosage Forms, Formulation Developments and Regulations, Volume One in the Recent and Future Trends in Pharmaceutics series, explores aspects of pharmaceutics, with an original approach focused on technology, novelties and future trends in the field. The book discusses the most recent developments in pharmaceutical preformulation and formulation studies, biopharmaceutics and novel pharmaceutical formulations, regulatory affairs, and good manufacturing practices. Exciting areas such as formulation strategies, optimization techniques, the biopharmaceutical classification system, and pharmaceutical aerosols are included. The field of pharmaceutics is highly dynamic and rapidly expanding day-by-day, so it demands a variety of amplified efforts for designing and developing pharmaceutical processes and formulation strategies. This is an essential reference for researchers in academia and industry as well as advanced graduate students in pharmaceutics.

The advances in drug delivery systems over recent years have resulted in a large number of novel delivery systems with the potential to revolutionize the treatment and prevention of diseases. Bio-Targets and Drug Delivery Approaches is an easy-to-read book for students, researchers and pharmaceutical scientists providing a comprehensive introduction to the principles of advanced drug delivery and targeting their current applications and potential future developments.

Novel Formulations and Future Trends, Volume Three in the Recent and Future Trends in Pharmaceutics series, explores aspects of pharmaceutics with an original approach focused on technology, novelties and future trends. It discusses the most important developments in drug delivery, including important and exciting areas such as mucosal, implantable, transdermal, gastroretentive, vaccine and targeted drug delivery systems. The field of pharmaceutics is highly dynamic and rapidly expanding day-by-day so it demands a variety of amplified efforts for designing and developing pharmaceutical processes and formulation strategies. This is an essential reference for researchers in academia and industry as well as advanced graduate students. New technologies are also explored including 3D printing and computational pharmaceutics.

"Potential Theory in Applied Geophysics" introduces the principles of gravitational, magnetic, electrostatic, direct current electrical and electromagnetic fields, with detailed solutions of Laplace and electromagnetic wave equations by the method of separation of variables. Behaviour of the scalar and vector potential and the nature of the solutions of these boundary value problems are shown along with the use of complex variables and conformal transformation, Green's theorem, Green's functions and its use in integral equation. Finite element and finite difference methods for two-dimensional potential problems are discussed in considerable detail. The analytical continuation of the potential field and inverse theory, used for the interpretation of potential field data, are also demonstrated.

^ < p=""> This highly informative and carefully presented volume highlights the impact behavior of fibre reinforced polymer composites. It begins with a preliminary focus on FRP materials, fabrication processes, micro- and macro- mechanics to calculate FRP laminates properties, damage nodes associated with FRP composites under different loadings. It provides a simple and unified approach to cover aspects of FRP composites behavior with low velocity impact loading. This book offers a valuable guide for those who wish to develop deeper insights into weaving architectures, stacking sequences, fabrication processes, general damage modes associated with FRP composites. It is a useful volume for students, academia and industry alike. ^

India has always been described as a "melting pot" of races and culture. Tribal in India is the most glaring example exploitation indifferences and lack of appreciation for our divergent minority groups. The present study is an attempt to study the enthnohistoric and historiographic literature available on various aspects of culture and society among diverse tribes across the world and the Indian subcontinent and reveal the paucity of ethnohistoric and historiographic research in India, especially the cultural aspects of tribes in Andhra Pradesh. According to the 1991 census the tribal population of India is 6,77,58, 380 constituting nearly 8.08 per cent to total population of the country. There are about 500 tribes in India existing and ethnogrpahic accounts cover a vast majority of the tribes. All these ethnographic accounts provide brief ethnohistoric descriptions of the tribes, all by way of passing references. As such studies wholly devoted to an examination of the history of the tribes are few. Even the historians have not made any considerable effort to depict the historiography of the tribes in India.

As the title suggests, the book is providing a practical guidance on managing the processes for IT Services. There are lot of guidance available on technology management in IT industry but this book is focusing on technology independent service management. The book will be addressed to all IT people from a process practitioner perspective, however, the fundamentals are presented in simplistic terms, and therefore it should be useful to all IT people. It will describe the process engineering concept and how it can be applied to IT Service Management. This is not about the industry standard framework such as ITIL and COBIT but about the common processes that are generally used in real life operations. I will be using analogies and illustrations from non IT world also to make the things simple. This book does not focus on any technology.

Present century is the era of nanotechnology with its exciting and versatile field of applications towards mankind. In unison, over the past decades, nanophosphors have been extensively investigated due to its enormous application potential for various high-performance novel displays devices, in non-linear optics and also in fast optical switching. Consistently, discovery of many rare earth materials played a prominent role to develop highly efficient luminescence materials. Surprisingly enough, intentional doping of these impurities (rare earth ions) in quantum confined (nanomaterial) regime explicitly enhances the emission efficiency of the phosphor materials. Thrust is still going on to find better nanophosphors, having high brightness and colour purity with lower excitation energy. Charge compensation by Li+ co-doping in the rare earth doped phosphors is one of the attractive and convenient tools to improve their brightness with high colour purity. So our sole interest is to enhance the brightness of nanophosphors; we contributed a little in this regard by co-doping Li+ in MgAl2O4: Eu3+ nanophosphor.
