The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology Bioarchaeology of Mortuary Behaviour

The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology spans the gap between archaeology and biological anthropology the field and laboratory and between francophone and anglophone funerary archaeological approaches to the remains of the dead and the understanding of societies past and present. Interest in archaeothanatology has grown considerably in recent years in English-language scholarship. This timely publication moves away from anecdotal case studies to offer syntheses of archaeothanatological approaches with an eye to higher-level inferences about funerary behaviour and its meaning in the past. Written by francophone scholars who have contributed to the development of the field and anglophone scholars inspired by the approach this volume offers detailed insight into the background and development of archaeothanatology its theory methods applications and its most recent advances with a lexicon of related vocabulary. This volume is a key source for archaeo-anthropologists and bioarchaeologists. It will benefit researchers lecturers practitioners and students in biological anthropology archaeology taphonomy and forensic science. Given the interdisciplinary nature of these disciplines and the emphasis placed on analysis in situ this book will also be of interest to specialists in entomology (micro)biology and soil science. | The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology Bioarchaeology of Mortuary Behaviour

Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Systems Principles and Applications

This book appraises the role of lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDSs) with respect to the bioavailability and controlled delivery of complex drug molecules for improving their clinical viability. It covers the latest developments and advancements in the field of drug delivery and explores and compiles information on the current situation of lipid-based formulations used as versatile excipients and all their possible routes to improve therapeutic benefits. The book discusses novel formulations such as depot formulations micro- and nanoemulsions solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) liposomes nanoliposomes micelles nanosuspensions lipid implants and inserts and lipid nanotubes. It presents preparation methods of LBDDSs and their physicochemical properties and portrays their various application angles and their impacts on drug-conveyance frameworks when employed in vitro and in vivo. The book is beneficial for researchers working on lipid-based drug formulations as well as biological and translational drug delivery. It is also a useful resource for course work of students of various academic degree programs such as pharmacy health sciences biotechnology and microbiology; postgraduate and PhD students; and postdoctoral fellows researching on nanomedicine-based drug delivery systems. | Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Systems Principles and Applications

Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics

While dating from post-Classical economists such as Thorstein Veblen and Joseph Schumpeter the inception of the modern field of evolutionary economics is usually dated to the early 1980s. Broadly speaking evolutionary economics sees the economy as undergoing continual evolutionary change. Evolutionary change indicates that these changes were not planned but rather were the result of innovations and selection processes. These often involved winners and losers but most importantly they resulted in actors learning what was and was not working. Evolutionary economics in contrast to mainstream economics emphasises the relevance of variables such as technology institutions decision rules routines or consumer preferences for explaining the complex evolutionary changes in the economy. In so doing evolutionary economics significantly broadens the scope of economic analysis and sheds new light on key concepts and issues of the discipline. This handbook draws on a stellar cast list of international contributors ranging from the founders of the field to the newest voices. The volume explores the current state of the art in the field of evolutionary economics at the levels of the micro (e. g. firms and households) meso (e. g. industries and institutions) and macro (e. g. economic policy structure and growth). Overall the Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics provides an excellent overview of current trends and issues in this rapidly developing field.

Optics for Engineers

The field of optics has become central to major developments in medical imaging remote sensing communication micro- and nanofabrication and consumer technology among other areas. Applications of optics are now found in products such as laser printers bar-code scanners and even mobile phones. There is a growing need for engineers to understand the principles of optics in order to develop new instruments and improve existing optical instrumentation. Based on a graduate course taught at Northeastern University Optics for Engineers provides a rigorous practical introduction to the field of optics. Drawing on his experience in industry the author presents the fundamentals of optics related to the problems encountered by engineers and researchers in designing and analyzing optical systems. Beginning with a history of optics the book introduces Maxwell‘s equations the wave equation and the eikonal equation which form the mathematical basis of the field of optics. It then leads readers through a discussion of geometric optics that is essential to most optics projects. The book also lays out the fundamentals of physical optics polarization interference and diffraction in sufficient depth to enable readers to solve many realistic problems. It continues the discussion of diffraction with some closed-form expressions for the important case of Gaussian beams. A chapter on coherence guides readers in understanding the applicability of the results in previous chapters and sets the stage for an exploration of Fourier optics. Addressing the importance of the measurement and quantification of light in determining the performance limits of optical systems the book then covers radiometry photometry and optical detection. It also introduces nonlinear optics. This comprehensive reference includes downloadable MATLAB code as well as numerous problems examples and illustrations. An introductory text for
