This book provides detailed information on therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and discusses emerging technologies which have potential for broad clinical implementation. Recent advances in molecular biology, radiopharmaceutical chemistry and radioisotope production have stimulated a new era for the use of radiopharmaceuticals for targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT). Emerging clinical trials include use of peptides and monoclonal antibodies radiolabeled with therapeutic radionuclides for cancer therapy. In addition, small molecules are used for the treatment of chronic diseases such as metastatic bone pain palliation and radiation synovectomy of inflammatory joints. In the interventional arena, therapy of primary and metastatic liver cancer and arterial restenosis following angioplasty of both the coronary and peripheral arteries are being explored. Reactor and accelerator production of therapeutic radioisotopes is also integrated into these discussions. The development and use of radiopharmaceutical targeting characteristics required for treatment of specific disease processes and how these are implemented for radiopharmaceutical design strategies are also described. Radiopharmaceuticals for Therapy will benefit audiences in nuclear medicine and radionuclide therapy and will thus prove an invaluable source of up-to-date information for students, radiopharmaceutical scientists and professionals working in the radiopharmacy and nuclear medicine specialties.
Legends who leave their mark on history are born of enlightened thinking and action. Through the illuminating pages of this handy book, the reader gets a splendid opportunity to be at close quarters with these legends and the life lessons learned by them during their journeys towards the pinnacle. All these legends are indelibly associated with human progress. They are great by any standard and their lives have become a part of history.This book is the result of more than twelve years of sadhana by Ashutosh Kumar. It is not a set of biographical essays in chronological order; rather, it is a distillation of the experiences and learnings of the chosen legends. It provides glimpses of the leadership mantras of business leaders and the life lessons and wisdom of Lord Buddha, Sai Baba, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Sri Aurobindo, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nani Palkhivala, J. R. D Tata, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Sardar Patel, Dr. S Radhakrishnan, Rajendra Prasad, Pt. Sriram Sharma Acharya, Dr. Abdul Kalam, and many more. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once stated, “The heights by great man reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night.” Zig Ziglar taught us, “People often complain about the lack of time when lack of direction is the real problem.” It is equally important that it is not how you know, but how you go about fulfilling the purpose of your life that counts. That is what sets the legends apart. A must-read for all those who want to gain a deeper understanding of life by learning from the life experiences of legends and charting a path towards greatness.
This book examines electoral politics in the state of Punjab, India as it has evolved since the colonial period. It underlines the emergence of the state as a singular unit for electoral analysis in the last three decades. This book: Charts the common trends and developments that have dominated politics in Punjab, and those that continue to play an important role in the government of the state; Examines state parties and their leadership in the context of party alliances, campaigns and electoral verdicts; Presents a comparative study of the assembly and Lok Sabha elections held in the state after reorganisation in 1966 with the objective of highlighting differences in electoral issues taken up by the parties. An important intervention in the study of state-level politics in India, this book will be of great interest to students and researchers of politics, especially comparative politics and political institutions, political sociology and social anthropology, and South Asian studies.
Post-reform India has seen a decline in agricultural growth as well as supply–demand imbalance and rising prices. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of domestic and international prices and trade since 1980–81, covering the past quarter of a century. Backed with rich data, it provides comparisons between the pre- and post-liberalisation policies and their effect on farm profitability, domestic prices and prices variability, and examines their possible role in determining the trajectory of agricultural growth since 1991. The book will appeal to students, scholars and researchers of agriculture studies, economics, finance, and development studies, as well as policy makers and agriculture experts.
STRINGERE “The Stress” is designed as a Text-cum-Reference book for the students of Management (HRM / HRD / IR / PM / OB), Psychology, Social Work etc. for doing research and for the top brass of Defense (Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy), Paramilitary Forces (BSF, CISF, Indian Coast Guard, ITBP, SSB) and also for the Directors / Chief Executive Officers of professionally managed organizations where human resource is involved. This book will help them to understand Organization Role Stress in totality, the importance of Job Characteristics and Role Efficacy in relation to stress, Job Evaluation technique, sound Industrial Relations, Grievance Redressal Mechanism and Human Resource Audit so that suitable steps may be initiated as a measure to check stress and thereby increasing efficiency and effectiveness of human resource.
Because of their unique properties (size, shape, and surface functions), functional materials are gaining significant attention in the areas of energy conversion and storage, sensing, electronics, photonics, and biomedicine. Within the chapters of this book written by well-known researchers, one will find the range of methods that have been developed for preparation and functionalization of organic, inorganic and hybrid structures which are the necessary building blocks for the architecture of various advanced functional materials. The book discusses these innovative methodologies and research strategies, as well as provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of the cutting-edge research on the processing, properties and technology developments of advanced functional materials and their applications. Specifically, Advanced Functional Materials: Compiles the objectives related to functional materials and provides detailed reviews of fundamentals, novel production methods, and frontiers of functional materials, including metalic oxides, conducting polymers, carbon nanotubes, discotic liquid crystalline dimers, calixarenes, crown ethers, chitosan and graphene. Discusses the production and characterization of these materials, while mentioning recent approaches developed as well as their uses and applications for sensitive chemiresistors, optical and electronic materials, solar hydrogen generation, supercapacitors, display and organic light-emitting diodes, functional adsorbents, and antimicrobial and biocompatible layer formation. This volume in the Advanced Materials Book Series includes twelve chapters divided into two main areas: Part 1: Functional Metal Oxides: Architecture, Design and Applications and Part 2: Multifunctional Hybrid Materials: Fundamentals and Frontiers
