Generic Drug Product Development International Regulatory Requirements for Bioequivalence Due to a worldwide need for lower cost drug therapy use of generic and multi-source drug products have been increasing. To meet international patent and trade agreements the development and sale of these products must conform to national and international laws and generic products must prove that they are of the same quality and are therapeutically equivalent to the brand name alternative. However many countries have limited resources to inspect and verify the quality of all drug products for sale in their country. This title discusses the worldwide legislative and regulatory requirements for the registration of generic and multi-source drug products. | Generic Drug Product Development International Regulatory Requirements for Bioequivalence GBP 59.99 1

Commodity Derivatives A Guide for Future Practitioners Commodity Derivatives: A Guide for Future Practitioners describes the origins and uses of these important markets. Commodities are often used as inputs in the production of other products and commodity prices are notoriously volatile. Derivatives include forwards futures options and swaps; all are types of contracts that allow buyers and sellers to establish the price at one time and exchange the commodity at another.

Agroecology Sustainable Ecosystem Agroecology literacy is 'the degree to which people have an objective and well-informed understanding of crop production with environmental issues. ' The increased food grain production has also increased the unscientific and indiscriminate use of agrochemicals which has affected the soil health and degraded agroecosystem adversely and brought down the immunity of soil and the productivity of crops. In addition it has resulted in the over-exploitation of soil leading to nutrient imbalance. Moreover the negative impact of chemical agriculture on the environment and human health has been reported and documented. Increased environmental awareness and health consciousness promoted scientists and planners to think about sustainable farming practices as an alternate way for healthy agriculture to protect the environment and human health. Eco-friendly methods or ecosystem services are one solution to manage this issue. This book intends to provide the core elements of a curriculum for teaching agroecology at colleges and universities.

A Field Guide to Ghost Guns For Police and Forensic Investigations While it has always been legal for a citizen in the United States to manufacture their own firearm the sale and distribution of such items is illegal under current U. S. law. The primary impediment to individuals making their own weapons has been access to the tooling and machinery required to convert raw materials into finished parts for assembly. However in the last fifteen years this paradigm has changed drastically. Home builders and companies have emerged to support individuals who choose to produce their own firearm. Kits with receivers and gun components are available for hobbyists as are 3-D printable gun designs downloadable from the Internet in some cases. This phenomenon has led to the term ghost guns: firearms whose existence is not reported to any third party and therefore whose existence is unknown and largely untraceable. A Field Guide to Ghost Guns: For Police and Forensic Investigators provides a useful brief for field investigators on the technical aspects of the self-made firearm so-called ghost guns. The first book to focus on the emergent issue of ghost guns coverage addresses the history of firearms making and manufacture in the U. S. —including regulated and nonregulated manufacturing details firearm components and accessories how to assemble a Firearm an overview of common Types of ghost guns and investigative considerations. Though there have been increased calls to regulate guns in the wake of numerous mass shootings the proliferation of ghost guns—and their increasing use in crimes—would likely require additional laws and regulatory measures. Since there are few knowledgeable firearm practitioners in the field who can render qualified opinions on the subject author Robb Walker has taken a practical pragmatic approach to the topic. The book defines terminology provides photographs and explains the concepts surrounding homemade firearm in clear easy to understand terms. Key Features: Addresses the technology and technical aspects in creating assembling and/or modifying homemade firearms—both printable and assembled from pre-fabricated components Discusses the rationale and motivations behind making one’s own firearm Outlines what is currently legal and illegal under U. S. law providing indicators for investigators for illegally configured firearms A Field Guide to Ghost Guns addresses the pressing need for a practical reference on the topic. The book provides police investigators and forensic ballistics experts a useful aid to understand legal aspects and to identify ghost guns and the paraphernalia—tooling and machinery and otherwise—indicative of gun making in a non-formal factory setting. | A Field Guide to Ghost Guns For Police and Forensic Investigations GBP 51.99 1
