Developing Solid Oral Dosage Forms is intended for pharmaceutical professionals engaged in research and development of oral dosage forms. It covers essential principles of physical pharmacy, biopharmaceutics and industrial pharmacy as well as various aspects of state-of-the-art techniques and approaches in pharmaceutical sciences and technologies along with examples and/or case studies in product development. The objective of this book is to offer updated (or current) knowledge and skills required for rational oral product design and development. The specific goals are to provide readers with: - Basics of modern theories of physical pharmacy, biopharmaceutics and industrial pharmacy and their applications throughout the entire process of research and development of oral dosage forms - Tools and approaches of preformulation investigation, formulation/process design, characterization and scale-up in pharmaceutical sciences and technologies - New developments, challenges, trends, opportunities, intellectual property issues and regulations in solid product development - The first book (ever) that provides comprehensive and in-depth coverage of what's required for developing high quality pharmaceutical products to meet international standards - It covers a broad scope of topics that encompass the entire spectrum of solid dosage form development for the global market, including the most updated science and technologies, practice, applications, regulation, intellectual property protection and new development trends with case studies in every chapter - A strong team of more than 50 well-established authors/co-authors of diverse background, knowledge, skills and experience from industry, academia and regulatory agencies

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the Second International Workshop on Digital Watermarking, IWDW 2003, held in Seoul, Korea, in October 2004. The 44 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited articles were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from more than 90 submissions. The papers address all current aspects of digital watermarking, in particular theoretical modeling, robustness, capacity, imperceptibility and the human perceptual system, security and attacks, watermarking systems and implementations, and integration of digital watermarking in digital rights management.
