Taxonomic Nomenclature What’s in a Name – Theory and History

Taxonomic Nomenclature What’s in a Name – Theory and History

This book suggests an in-depth look at nomenclature in systematics instead of providing another instruction for use of various Codes of nomenclature. The focus is on ideas of what taxonomic nomenclature is as a part of the professional language of systematics considered in its full historical and conceptual scope. Basic concepts of nomenclature are outlined and their development characterized; a hierarchy of fundamental principles of nomenclature are summarized; and the relationship between taxonomic nomenclature and taxonomic theory discussed. This book is addressed to those who would like to go beyond the boundaries of existing Codes to look at the subject from a more general mostly theoretical standpoint. Key Features • Provides a review of the role of nomenclature in systematics • Reviews the conceptual scope and historical contexts of nomenclature • Analyzes fundamental principles of nomenclature • Outlines the historical development of nomenclature • Reviews the rules of nomenclature in botany zoology microbiology and horticulture Related Titles Mishler B.

Generic Drug Product Development International Regulatory Requirements for Bioequivalence

Generic Drug Product Development International Regulatory Requirements for Bioequivalence

Due to a worldwide need for lower cost drug therapy use of generic and multi-source drug products have been increasing. To meet international patent and trade agreements the development and sale of these products must conform to national and international laws and generic products must prove that they are of the same quality and are therapeutically equivalent to the brand name alternative. However many countries have limited resources to inspect and verify the quality of all drug products for sale in their country. This title discusses the worldwide legislative and regulatory requirements for the registration of generic and multi-source drug products. | Generic Drug Product Development International Regulatory Requirements for Bioequivalence
