Inorganic Controlled Release Technology: Materials and Concepts for Advanced Drug Formulation provides a practical guide to the use and applications of inorganic controlled release technology (iCRT) for drug delivery and other healthcare applications, focusing on newly developed inorganic materials such as bioresorbable glasses and bioceramics. The use of these materials is introduced for a wide range of applications that cover inorganic drug delivery systems for new drug development and the reformulation of existing drugs. The book describes basic concepts, principles, and industrial practices by discussing materials chemistry, physics, nano/microstructure, formulation, materials processing, and case studies, as well as the evaluation and characterization of iCRT systems commonly investigated during industrial R&D.

This is the first book to systematically state the fundamental theory of integrability and its development of ordinary differential equations with emphasis on the Darboux theory of integrability and local integrability together with their applications. It summarizes the classical results of Darboux integrability and its modern development together with their related Darboux polynomials and their applications in the reduction of Liouville and elementary integrabilty and in the center—focus problem, the weakened Hilbert 16th problem on algebraic limit cycles and the global dynamical analysis of some realistic models in fields such as physics, mechanics and biology.

Although it can be used as a textbook for graduate students in dynamical systems, it is intended as supplementary reading for graduate students from mathematics, physics, mechanics and engineering in courses related to the qualitative theory, bifurcation theory and the theory of integrability of dynamical systems.

This book is the first overview book on video surveillance issues within airport grounds. It delves into the distinctive design principles underpinning computer vision algorithms tailored specifically for airport ground video surveillance, while also documenting the latest advancements within this domain.

The initial section of this book introduces a comprehensive array of airport ground video surveillance datasets, encompassing the AGVS series alongside other pertinent datasets. Subsequently, the second section delves into the ongoing research endeavors on airport-ground-oriented computer vision algorithms, examining segmentation, recognition, and tracking methodologies. Lastly, the book’s third segment elucidates the design methodologies and exemplary use cases of airport ground video surveillance applications.

Written by the authors intimately involved in creating the datasets, algorithms, and applications outlined within, this book stands as an indispensable reference for researchers and graduate students operating within the realm of intelligent transportation.
