Shaykh Mithqal al-Fayiz's life spanned a period of dramatic transformation in the Middle East. Born in the 1880s during a time of rapid modernization across the Ottoman Empire, Mithqal led his tribe through World War I, the development and decline of colonial rule and founding of Jordan, the establishment of the state of Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict that ensued, and the rise of pan-Arabism. As Mithqal navigated regional politics over the decades, he redefined the modern role of the shaykh.
In following Mithqal's remarkable life, this book explores tribal leadership in the modern Middle East more generally. The support of Mithqal's tribe to the Jordanian Hashemite regime extends back to the creation of Jordan in 1921 and has characterized its political system ever since. The long-standing alliances between tribal elites and the royal family explain, to a large extent, the extraordinary resilience of Hashemite rule in Jordan and the country's relative stability. Mithqal al-Fayiz's life and work as a shaykh offer a notable individual story, as well as a unique window into the history, society, and politics of Jordan.

The ruins of Daniel Shays's fortified settlement reveal the hidden story of the famous rebellion.
The ruins of Daniel Shays's fortified settlement reveal the hidden story of the famous rebellion. Shays and the Regulators founded the settlement deep in the Vermont wilderness after fleeing the uprising they led in 1787 in Massachusetts. Rediscovered in 1997 and under study since 2013, these remnants divulge secrets of Shays's life that previously remained unknown, including his connection to Millard Filmore and the Anti-Federalist lawyer John Bay. As the leader of the site's first formal study, Stephen D. Butz weaves together the tale of the archaeological investigation, along with Shays's heroic life in the Continental army, his role in the infamous rebellion that bears his name and his influence on American law.

Описание: Summoned back to his roots by an enigmatic letter from his deceased grandfather's lawyer, John Robert Horton is eager for the opportunity to spend a weekend with his six cousins, some of whom he has not interacted with in over thirty years. Arriving at the Rheinboldt farm, his mind flooded with wonderful memories of summers with his cousins, helping with chores and enjoying the freedom of youthful adventures and hijinks, he is eager to relive those moments and rekindle his brotherly love of his kin.Little does he know that his idyllic hopes are about to be challenged by a letter from the past; a letter in which his grandfather asks the cousins to work together to determine the fate of the family farm. As the weekend progresses and countless stories of the past are shared, it soon becomes clear that memories are personal and often not shared - at least in the context of what actually did or did not happen. Motives of perpetrators and responses of victims are never fully understood by either. The cousins struggle to find common ground in their past, leading to the emergence of old rivalries and the quickening of past grievances and hurts, which exacerbates their difficulties in seeking common ground to determine the future of the farm.Tensions and conflicts become inflamed, in part because of disagreement about how to honor their grandfather's request, but primarily as a result of the revelation of secrets from those 'halcyon' days - secrets which not only put cousins in conflict but also undermine the possibility of fulfilling that request. This is compounded by the tragic and unexplained death of one of the cousins which places what hopes they still cling to in peril, as they face the unknown consequences of a police investigation of the death, an investigation that leads to the revelation of a secret, long known by their parents, which had fractured their family as well as alienating friends.Can the cousins overcome the emotional challenge of dealing with their grief and learn to work together? Or will they simply abandon their grandparent's farm to the fickleness of fate and go back to living their separate lives?'Shay's Crossing' is a compelling story of family love and betrayal. And a reminder to each of us of the difficulties of overcoming past hurts and losses in seeking a better tomorrow.

Описание:
Biomaterials, Medical Devices, and Combination Products is a single-volume guide for those responsible for--or concerned with--developing and ensuring patient safety in the use and manufacture of medical devices.
The book provides a clear presentation of the global regulatory requirements and challenges in evaluating the biocompatibility and clinical safety of the materials used in producing medical devices as well as the devices themselves.
Starting with material characterization and selection, considerations of concerns arising from packaging and contact with production machinery, and extensive coverage of combination products, the book also provides the latest approaches to isolating, quantitating, identifying and assessing the risk arising from chemical entities released from market-ready devices.
Also incorporated are new case examples and citations with the means of access to Internet-based regulatory and scientific sites, reflecting the universal adoption of this technology into our world.
The book takes into consideration the fact that device markets are global, the continual advancement of technology, and the increasing global harmonization of safety regulations. Each aspect of device safety evaluation is reviewed in terms of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Union (EU), and Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) perspectives.

Описание: This book reports on successful HIV prevention initiatives from across the globe, representing countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas at diverse stages of the epidemic. It examines interventions at both the individual and community levels.
Описание: While the safety assessment ("biocompatibility") of medical devices has been focused on issues of local tissue tolerance (irritation, sensitization, cytotoxicity) and selected quantal effects (genotoxicity and acute lethality) since first being regulated in the late 1950s, this has changed as devices assumed a much more important role in healthcare and became more complex in both composition and in their design and operation. Add to this that devices now frequently serve as delivery systems for drugs, and that drugs may be combined with devices to improve device performance, and the problems of ensuring patient safety with devices has become significantly more complex. A part of this, requirements for ensuring safety (once based on use of previously acceptable materials - largely polymers and metals) have come to requiring determining which chemical entities are potentially released from a device into patients (and how much is released).
Then an appropriate and relevant (yet also conservative) risk assessment must be performed for each identified chemical structure. The challenges inherent in meeting the current requirements are multifold, and this text seeks to identify, understand, and solve all of them. * Identify and verify the most appropriate available data.
* As in most cases such data is for a different route of exposure, transform it for use in assessing exposure by the route of interest. * As the duration (and rate) of exposure to moieties released from a device are most frequently different (longer) than what available data speaks to, transformation across tissue is required. * As innate and adaptive immune responses are a central part of device/patient interaction, assessing potential risks on this basis are required.
* Incorporating assessments for special populations such as neonates. * Use of (Q)SAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships) modeling in assessments. * Performance and presentation of integrative assessments covering all potential biologic risks.
Appendices will contain summarized available biocompatibility data for commonly used device materials (polymers and metals) and safety assessments on the frequently seen moieties in extractions from devices.

Описание: In bestselling author Shayla Black's electrifying fourth novel in the Doomsday Brethren series, the wizards fight their mortal enemy for the newest weapon in a bloody magical war: the one woman a warrior shouldn't claim...yet can't resist. Dangerously handsome Simon Northam, Duke of Hurstgrove, and his uptight brother Mason are hardly close, but crashing Mason's wedding and stealing his fiancee further aggravate their sibling rivalry. Duke's family has no notion he's a wizard, so how can he explain that magickind's fate lies with the beautiful, tenacious bride he longs to seduce? Felicia is an Untouchable, a rare human whose presence disables magic--even the impenetrable forces surrounding Morganna le Fay's tomb.
The evil witch's malicious powers could propel nefarious wizard Mathias to ultimate world domination...if he can resurrect her. To conceal herself, Felicia must succumb to her smoldering desire for Duke, but he risks binding his life-and sanity-to a lover whose loyalties are forever torn. He faces a choice: betray his brother for ultimate survival...or lose the woman who tempts him beyond control.
The Doomsday Brethren series reading order: Book 1: Tempt Me With Darkness Book 1.5: "Fated (e-novella) Book 2: Seduce Me In Shadow Book 3: Possess Me At Midnight Book 3.5: "Mated" (included in the Haunted By Your Touch anthology) Book 4: Entice Me At Twilight Book 5: Embrace Me At Dawn
Описание: This fourth edition provides tools for the rigorous and critical analysis of experimental data. Assuming only basic mathematical skills, the book provides a complete and exhaustive introduction to the statistical methods available and updates all material to cover current practices. The author also provides three entirely new and up-to-the-minute chapters: one provides the first practical guide to performing meta analysis that allows for the power inherent in multiple similar studies; two others cover Bayesian analysis and data analysis in pharmacology, discussing analysis of receptor binding assays, safety pharmacology assays, and other standard study types conducted in pharmacology.
