Encyclopedia of Cybercrime Book

EBook Description: There are today no more compelling sets of crime and security threats facing nations, communities, organizations, groups, families and individuals than those encompassed by cybercrime. For over fifty years crime enabled by computing and telecommunications technologies have increasingly threatened societies as they have become reliant on information systems for sustaining modernized living. Cybercrime is not a new phenomenon, rather an evolving one with respect to adoption of information technology (IT) for abusive and criminal purposes. Further, by virtue of the myriad ways in which IT is abused, it represents a technological shift in the nature of crime rather than a new form of criminal behavior. Understanding the subject, then, is imperative to combatting it and to addressing it at various levels.

This textbook contains a great fast, complex topic without dumbing it down. It's easy to read (in bite-sized pieces) and the lavish use of colors and high quality paper, and add a feel-good factor."

"An excellent and comprehensive book on most aspects of pharmacology. The best thing is that it is not too much detail, it gives you just enough information about a public service, you remember what you actually just read a book ... You can use throughout the course. Online supplementary material available, and is ideal if you do not want the book to bear the whole day "

"Boxes" with key points and clinical applications are large, this is where to look for a revision, and will also show what is really important to go in the accompanying text.You never lost. It is written for the students! "

Mass Spectrometry in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics Book

Within the pharmaceutical industry, the mass spectrometer was long considered a useful and challenging analytical tool largely limited to the specialist user. The steady movement from specialist use to general use gained considerable speed in the 1990s, particularly due to the development of practical, sensitive liquid chromatography�mass spectrometry (LC�MS) interfaces and advances in the microelectronics. The rapid proliferation of quadrupole ion trap, linear ion trap, orbitrap, quadrupole mass filter, time-of-flight, and other types of mass spectrometers has impacted the industry from the earliest stages of disease determination through the final stages of clinical testing. This book, based on an American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) session, which I was fortunate enough to chair, will examine several of the ways in which mass spectrometry continues to have a profound influence on the direction and speed of drug discovery and development, especially in the area of drug metabolism (DM) and pharmacokinetics (PK).
