Nagapattinam to Suvarnadwipa
The expansion of the Cholas from their base in the Kaveri Delta saw this growing power subdue the kingdoms of southern India, as well as occupy Sri Lanka and the Maldives, by the early eleventh century. It was also during this period that the Cholas initiated links with Song China. Concurrently, the Southeast Asian polity of Sriwijaya had, through its Sumatran and Malayan ports, come to occupy a key position in East-West maritime trade, requiring engagement with both Song China to the north and the Chola kingdom to its west. The apparently friendly relations pursued were, however, to be disrupted in 1025 by Chola naval expeditions against fourteen key port cities in Southeast Asia. This volume examines the background, course and effects of these expeditions, as well as the regional context of the events. It brings to light many aspects of this key period in Asian history. Unprecedented in the degree of detail assigned to the story of the Chola expeditions, this volume is also unique in that it includes translations of the contemporary Tamil and Sanskrit inscriptions relating to Southeast Asia and of the Song dynasty Chinese texts relating to the Chola Kingdom.
Model Organisms to Study Biological Activities and Toxicity of Nanoparticles
This book provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art applications of nanotechnology in biology and medicine, as well as model organisms that can help us understand the biological activity and associated toxicity of nanoparticles, and devise strategies to minimize toxicity and enhance therapies. Thanks to their high surface-to-volume ratio, nanoparticles are characterized by excellent biocompatibility and bioavailability, a high therapeutic index, and relatively low toxicity, which has led to their widespread application in the early diagnosis of diseases, comprehensive monitoring of disease progression, and improved therapeutics. The book also explores nanoparticle-based insecticides and their mechanisms of action, and provides a comparative analysis of the various model organisms that are used to understand the biological properties of nanoparticles. Further, it describes various in-vivo models that yield important insights into nanomaterial-mediated toxicity, promoting the optimal utilization of nanoparticles. In closing, the book discusses future perspectives and regulatory issues concerning the use of nanomaterials in translational research.

Color Atlas of Oral Cancer
Oral cancer can affect any part of the mouth, including the tongue and lips. Symptoms include a sore or ulcer for more than three weeks. Accurate and rapid diagnosis can help in extending survival and preventing the progression of disease. Color Atlas of Oral cancer covers all aspects of oral cancer, serving as a straightforward guide and reference for dentists and clinicians. This book provides an overview of clinical examination and a complete list of recent advances in radiographic diagnostic aids. Treatment options and prevention are also covered in depth. Atlas of Oral Cancer features nearly 200 images including histopathology photographs. Key Points Full colour photographic details of histopathology of potentially malignant disorders and squamous cell carcinoma Aids understanding of oral cancer and the importance of preventive measures Details a variety of oral cancers from causes and presentation, through to screening, diagnosis, treatment and prevention Includes nearly 200 images
