This book is a comprehensive guide to the use of lasers and other technologies in dermatologic and aesthetic practice. Divided into three key sections, the text begins with discussion on the use of lasers for different conditions such as vascular lasers, non-invasive body contouring, pigmented lesions and tattoos, lasers for hair removal, and more. The second section covers clinical disorders and therapeutic indications, and section three explains practical aspects such as setting up a laser centre and medicolegal aspects, and complications and their management. The book is presented in a practical format and approaches each topic from the viewpoint of three basic questions – what to do, why do it, and how to do it. Written by recognised experts in the field, the book is further enhanced by clinical and surgical photographs, illustrations and tables. Key points Practical guide to use of lasers and other technologies in dermatologic and aesthetic practice Approaches each topic from viewpoint of what to do, why do it and how to do it Covers use of lasers for treatment of many different conditions Includes discussion on setting up a laser centre and medicolegal aspects

This book takes a holistic approach to explore how business is being conducted in China and India, and to analyze the factors that influence business decisions in present times. In doing so the book seeks to develop a fuller understanding of the present 'context' within the two Asian nations, drawing upon a complete understanding of the culture, history and behaviour of the society and its institutions. The authors probe an area that has not been widely addressed before and seek to provide a finer analysis of the influences behind day-to-day business operations. This study has widespread appeal as it covers business processes at three different levels: macro-level, including government policies and institutions; meso-level, organisations and communities; and micro-level, individuals within business. Not only appealing to scholars, senior executives, business professionals and policy-makers, this book will also provide an interdisciplinary examination of how business is conducted in China and India, and will be valuable to anyone with a general interest in Asian business.

A well-rounded, accessible exposition of honeypots in wired and wireless networks, this book addresses the topic from a variety of perspectives. Following a strong theoretical foundation, case studies enhance the practical understanding of the subject. The book covers the latest technology in information security and honeypots, including honeytokens, honeynets, and honeyfarms. Additional topics include denial of service, viruses, worms, phishing, and virtual honeypots and forensics. The book also discusses practical implementations and the current state of research.

Pharmaceutical Microbiology encompasses those aspects of Microbiology which impact directly upon the development, production and use of pharmaceutical compounds. It is a part of industrial microbiology, which is concerned with the production of various drugs for various diseases. All drugs must undergo microbiology testing for the detection of contamination especially before packing. The purpose of this book is to understand the various issues that relate to the establishment, maintenance and control of the microbiological quality of the controlled environment. In this book, I have compiled the various experiments which are performed to check the microbial contamination of pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical water and environment monitoring of the plant.

These crops are widely cultivated for domestic consumption as well as for export purposes. They are attacked by many insect pests and diseases, which vary with region, season, and variety. This lowers the quality and yield, thereby increasing the cost of production and reduces export potential. Integrated Pest Management: Strategies for onion and garlic discusses methods and tools used to minimize the incidence and severity caused by diseases and insect pests. It also focuses on the symptoms of diseases caused by various pathogens.

Toothbrush has been a tool of cleaning the oral cavity since ancient times and this tool can be the path of spread for various diseases and microorganisms. The collective use of toothbrushes is common in developing and underdeveloped countries, under privileged people, hostels and some families. Transmission can occur even by usage of single person. Hence, a double blind, randomized comparative experimental trial was done on 40 children (12-15)years who were randomly selected to test different toothbrush disinfectants against Streptococcus mutans. The study lasted for a period of four months. The study was divided into 5 phases (Phase 1 - distilled water (control), phase 2 - 3% neem, phase 3 - 2% triclosan, phase 4 - 0.2% Chlorhexidine gluconate and phase 5 - 1% Sodium hypochlorite). The toothbrushes were collected after 5 days of brushing and subjected to microbial analysis (baseline data). The same procedure was repeated for different phases subsequently, in which the toothbrushes after collection were soaked for 12 hours in antimicrobial solutions of respective phases and subjected to microbial analysis. All the solutions showed thier effectiveness as toothbrush disinfectants.
