Pediatric FormulationsA Roadmap

Until the 1990s, it was generally accepted that medicines were first developed for adults and their use in children was investigated later, if at all. One of the main tasks of hospital pharmacies was the manufacturing of child-appropriate formulations in a more or less makeshift way. The first change came in 1997 with U.S. legislation that rewarded manufacturers to do voluntary pediatric research. Ten years later, the European Union passed legisla-tion that required manufacturers to discuss all pediatric aspects, including formulations, with the regulatory authorities as a condition of starting the registration procedure. In consequence, manufac-turers must now cover all age groups, including the youngest ones. So far, pediatric formulations were more a focus for academic researchers.

Free-Electron Lasers in the Ultraviolet and X-Ray RegimePhysical Principles, Experimental Results, Technical Realization

The main goal of the book is to provide a sys-tematic and didactic approach to the physics and technology of free-electron lasers. Numerous fig-ures are used for illustrating the underlying ideas and concepts, and links to other fields of physics are provided. After an introduction to undulator radiation and the low-gain FEL, the one-dimen-sional theory of the high-gain FEL is developed in a systematic way. Particular emphasis is put on explaining and justifying the various assumptions and approximations that are needed to obtain the differential and integral equations governing the FEL dynamics.

Life and Death of the StarsThis volume is devoted to one of the fascinating things about stars: they evolve as they age. This evolution is different for stars of different mass. How stars end their lives when their supply of energy is exhausted also depends on their mass. Historically speaking, astronomers first worried about the ultimate fate of the stars, even before the details of their evolution became clear. The book is divided into two parts. Part I is an account of the remarkable predictions made during the 1920s and 1930s concerning the ultimate fate of the stars. Since much of this development hinged on the emerging quantum physics, a detailed introduc-tion to the relevant physics is included. Part II is a summary of the life history of stars.
