Benefit-Risk Assessment in Pharmaceutical Research and Development

Benefit-Risk Assessment in Pharmaceutical Research and Development

Many practitioners in the pharmaceutical industry are still largely unfamiliar with benefit-risk assessment despite its growing prominence in drug development and commercialization. Helping to alleviate this knowledge gap Benefit-Risk Assessment in Pharmaceutical Research and Development provides a succinct overview of the key considerations relevant to benefit-risk assessment across the pharmaceutical R&D spectrum from early clinical development to late-stage development to regulatory review to post-launch assessment. The book first presents interpretations of benefit and risk in the context of a molecule moving from preclinical evaluation into its early testing in humans. It next considers benefit and risk characterization and assessment during a molecule’s journey from its clinical evaluation in humans through its submission to regulators for marketing approval. Throughout these sections the book offers insight into the role of benefit-risk assessment in heightening understanding among key stakeholders by shaping questions and guiding discussions among scientists physicians developers and regulatory agencies. The book also focuses on a molecule’s entry into the marketplace as a drug available for consumption by people. It explores the role of benefit-risk assessment as the relevance of carefully collected clinical efficacy and safety metrics fades in the wake of real-world use and evidence of effectiveness and safety. Bringing together the expertise of 15 contributors from academia and the industry this book offers an easy-to-read guide to the various facets of benefit-risk assessment in the major stages of pharmaceutical R&D. Suitable for those in both technical and managerial roles it enables readers to communicate more effectively across their development chain as well as rationally and thoughtfully embed benefit-risk assessment into their R&D processes.

Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Sequential Analysis: Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection systematically develops the theory of sequential hypothesis testing and quickest changepoint detection. It also describes important applications in which theoretical results can be used efficiently. The book reviews recent accomplishments in hypothesis testing and changepoint detection both in decision-theoretic (Bayesian) and non-decision-theoretic (non-Bayesian) contexts. The authors not only emphasize traditional binary hypotheses but also substantially more difficult multiple decision problems. They address scenarios with simple hypotheses and more realistic cases of two and finitely many composite hypotheses. The book primarily focuses on practical discrete-time models with certain continuous-time models also examined when general results can be obtained very similarly in both cases. It treats both conventional i. i. d. and general non-i. i. d. stochastic models in detail including Markov hidden Markov state-space regression and autoregression models. Rigorous proofs are given for the most important results. Written by leading authorities in the field this book covers the theoretical developments and applications of sequential hypothesis testing and sequential quickest changepoint detection in a wide range of engineering and environmental domains. It explains how the theoretical aspects influence the hypothesis testing and changepoint detection problems as well as the design of algorithms. | Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Re-Thinking Kinship and Feudalism in Early Medieval Europe

Re-Thinking Kinship and Feudalism in Early Medieval Europe

This is the second collection of studies by Stephen D. White to be published by Variorum (the first being Feuding and Peace-Making in Eleventh-Century France). The essays in this volume look principally at France and England from Merovingian and Anglo-Saxon times up to the 12th century. They analyze Latin and Old French discourses that medieval nobles used to construct their relationships with kin lords men and friends and investigate the political dimensions of such relationships with particular reference to patronage/clientage the use of land as an item of exchange and feuding. In so doing the essays call into question the conventional practice of studying kinship and feudalism as independent systems of legal institutions and propose new strategies for studying them. | Re-Thinking Kinship and Feudalism in Early Medieval Europe

Strategic Airline Retailing and Solutions From Offers to Fulfillment to Loyalty

Strategic Airline Retailing and Solutions From Offers to Fulfillment to Loyalty

While airlines have been looking into the next generation of retailing practices for several years developments since the beginning of 2020 have accelerated the need to take retailing to a new paradigm. A singular focus now is the ever-changing demands of the current and next generation of customers and employees and managing their values. Examples of customer needs include a mobile-first approach rich content augmented and personalized end-to-end services with seamless consistent and contextualized experiences. While these concepts of retailing are not new the challenge has been in bringing them to reality due to (a) the constraints of legacy systems and processes while transitioning to next-generation retailing systems (b) the inaccessibility of real-time data coming from a wide variety of sources such as online shopping social media and operations (c) the inability to monitor real-time behavior of customers and employees (d) the lack of effective collaboration and cooperation within the travel ecosystem and (e) the increasing lack of trust on the part of customers. This book provides a framework and technologies to convert retailing concepts—from shopping to fulfillment—into reality by (a) renovating an airline’s core and ancillary products (b) progressing faster on digital and organizational transformation journeys to make better data-based decisions about retailing (c) getting better at managing customer value by knowing who the customers are (d) empowering supporting and listening to employees to meet their expectations (e) asking the right questions to solve complex retailing problems relating to customers competitors and stakeholders and (f) questioning common-held beliefs about the airline business. This book is indispensable for all airline executives and senior managers as well as airline and airport commercial managers. It will also be enormously beneficial for retailers dealing with airlines and airports. | Strategic Airline Retailing and Solutions From Offers to Fulfillment to Loyalty

Techniques in Inorganic Chemistry assembles a collection of articles from international experts who describe modern methods used by research students and chemists for studying the properties and structures of inorganic chemicals. Crystallography and diffraction methods The book begins by examining developments in small-molecule x-ray crystallography. It identifies some of the major advances discusses current attitudes toward crystallography and its uses and considers challenges and future prospects. It then examines how ab initio x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) methods are used to determine structure with discussions on metal pyrazolates metal imidazolates and metal pyrimidinolates. This is followed by a description of single crystal neutron diffraction a powerful structural technique. The text highlights what can presently be achieved in neutron diffraction and discusses future applications of neutron scattering. Quantum chemistry Reflecting the popularity of density functional calculations the book includes a chapter that focuses on quantum chemistry. It examines the latest computational techniques and describes how these techniques can be applied to solve a wide range of real-world problems encountered in the realm of inorganic chemistry and particularly in transition metal chemistry. It also explains the intelligent use of quantum chemical methods for the determination of molecular structure reactivity and spectra of coordination and organometallic compounds. Spectroscopy Lastly the text explores important spectroscopic approaches. It first describes intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) NMR experiments and diffusion experiments offering examples that demonstrate theoretical aspects of the methodology. The final chapter summarizes recent experimental and theoretical work on pressure effects on the d-d and luminescence spectra of transition metal complexes. Derived from select articles in Comments on Inorganic Chemistry this volume provides a solid background in the array of techniques available in the researcher’s toolkit.
