Birkhauser Verlag
ISBN 10: 3-7643-7262-1
C 2006 Birkhauser Verlag

Book Description,
The clinical pharmacology of sleep is a fascinating field of medical science. Its subject matter touches all facets of our health and well being. Additionally it is becoming a highly interdisciplinary field.We have striven to present chapters, which hopefully will make the reader’s experience both enjoyable as well as meaningful. This book is intended primarily for sleep researchers, general- and neuro pharmacologists, psychiatrists, and physicians who evaluate and treat sleep disorders. In addition, the volume will be useful to pharmacologists, pharmacists, medical students and clinicians of various disciplines who want to get an overall grasp of the clinical pharmacology of sleep.

CLINICAL PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY THE ESSENTIALS

Wiley-Blackwel
ISBN 978-0-470-51852-6
C 2008 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

Book Description,
This book consists of a series of chapters containing case studies organized by major organ system; the book also contains answers to all the questions. There are very few texts available that use clinically relevant case studies to facilitate a student-centred learning approach. This book is designed to fill that niche. This type of student-centred learning not only brings theoretical subjects to life but also promotes deep learning, reflection and enhances analytical skills.

Book Description,
Since the publication of the first edition of Drug-Drug Interactions in 2002, our knowledge of the various human drug-metabolizing enzyme systems and drug transporters has continued to grow at a rapid pace. This continued growth in knowledge has been fueled by further advances in molecular biology, the continued availability of human tissue, and the development of additional
model systems and sensitive assay methods for studying drug metabolism and transport in vitro and in vivo. Broadly speaking, there has been considerable progress in six major areas: in silico (computer-based) approaches, transgenic animal models, pharmacokinetic-based predictions and modeling, the characterization of additional drug-metabolizing enzymes (e.g., CYP2B6 and CYP2C8), characterization of nuclear hormone receptors (e.g., pregnane X receptor), and the classification, characterization, and study of influx and efflux drug transporters.

Book Description,
Davis’s Drug Guide for Nurses provides comprehensive, up-to-date drug information in well-organized, nursing-focused monographs. It also includes extensive supplemental material in 18 appendices and the accompanying CD-ROM, thoroughly addresses the issue of safe medication administration, and educates the reader about 50 different therapeutic classes of drugs. In this 11th edition, we have continued the tradition of focusing on safe medication administration by adding a new Medication Safety Tools color insert and even more information about health care’s most vulnerable patients: children, the elderly, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. Look for more Pedi, Geri, OB, and Lactation headings throughout the monographs. In addition, we’ve expanded our information relevant to Canadian students and nurses.

Copyright C 2004, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Book Description,
The handbook stresses fundamental theory behind professional applications. In order to do so, it is reinforced with frequent examples. Extensive development of theory and details of proofs have been omitted. The reader is assumed to have a certain degree of sophistication and experience. However, brief reviews of theories, principles, and mathematics of some subject areas are given. These reviews have been done concisely with perception. The handbook is not a textbook replacement, but rather a reinforcement and reminder of material learned as a student. Therefore, important advancement and traditional as well as innovative practices are included.

INTRODUCTION CONTROL ENGINEERING

New Age International (P) Ltd.
ISBN : 978-81-224-2414-0
Copyright © 2006 New Age International (P) Ltd.

Book Description,
The book is intended for an introductory undergraduate course in control systems for engineering students. The numerous problems and examples have been drawn from the disciplines of electrical, electronics, chemical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. This will help students of one discipline with the opportunity to see beyond their own field of study and thereby broaden their perceptual horizon. This will enable them to appreciate the applicability of control system theory to many facets of life like the biological, economic, and ecological control systems.
This text presents a comprehensive analysis and design of continuous-time control systems and includes more than introductory material for discrete systems with adequate guidelines to extend the results derived in connection with continuous-time systems. The prerequisite for the reader is some elementary knowledge of differential equations, vector-matrix analysis and mechanics.
