Author: National Chemical Emergency Centre (NCEC)

The 2011 edition of the Dangerous Goods Emergency Action Code List outlines the Emergency Action codes (EACs), also known as Hazchem codes, for the use of the emergency services in conjunction with Emergency Action Code Cards. EACs indicate to the emergency services actions that may be necessary, during the first few minutes of an incident involving dangerous goods, should the officer in charge of the incident deem it necessary to take immediate actions. It includes details of Hazchem markings on the orange coloured plate of road and rail vehicles, registered in Britain, carrying dangerous goods in bulk or in tanks on domestic journeys.

The Dangerous Goods Emergency Action Code List 2011 is effective from 1 July 2011 and the Emergency Action Code List 2009 should no longer be used from that date.
Key features:
- Section 1: Introduction to the Emergency Action Codes
- Section 2: Displaying Emergency Action Codes
- Section 3: Application of Emergency Action Codes for the Emergency Services
- Section 4: Numerical List of Dangerous Goods, including - United Nations (UN) Number - Substance -Emergency Action Code (EAC) - Advice on Additional Personal Protection (APP) - Hazards - Hazard Identification Number (HIN)

ISBN 978-3-7692-5508-9

Kurztext

Arzneibuch 2010
Das Arzneibuch ist die “Bibel" jedes Pharmazeuten, das Gesetzbuch für die Arzneimittelqualität und -Sicherheit. Was es nicht ist: Es ist kein Verzeichnis aller Fertigarzneimittel (wie die Rote Liste). Das aktuelle Arzneibuch besteht aus:
* Deutschem Arzneibuch 2010 (DAB 2010)
* Europäischem Arzneibuch, 6. Ausgabe 2008, Grundwerk mit Nachtrag 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7 und 6.8
* Homöopathischem Arzneibuch 2010 (HAB 2010)
Diese Werke benötigt jeder selbstständige Apotheker sowie jeder, der Arzneimittel, Ausgangsstoffe, Hilfsstoffe, Reagenzien oder Behältnisse für pharmazeutische Zwecke herstellt oder vertreibt.
Die Ph. Eur. besteht aus einem Allgemeinen Teil mit Analysenmethoden, Behältnissen und deren Materialien, Reagenzien und übergreifenden Monographiegruppen sowie einem Speziellen Teil mit Einzelmonographien.
Das DAB wurde in seiner Struktur der Ph. Eur. angepasst. Nach und nach “wandern" immer mehr Texte aus dem DAB in die Ph. Eur., so dass das DAB schrumpft. Es wird aber sicher immer ein nationales Arzneibuch geben für die Vorschriften, die nicht europaweit gelten.
Auch das HAB ist wie die Ph. Eur. strukturiert. Das HAB wächst kontinuierlich, was auch das zunehmende Interesse an den alternativen Heilmethoden zeigt. Nur Frankreich hat von den Teilnehmerländern der Ph. Eur. ebenfalls ein eigenes Homöopathisches Arzneibuch.
Die Arzneibücher enthalten Analysenvorschriften für Arzneistoffe, Arzneipflanzen, Impfstoffe, Blut und Blutprodukte, Nahtmaterialien, Darreichungsformen, Behältnisse und die dafür verwendeten Materialien, sowie Reagenzien und Hilfsstoffe. Anhand der Vorschriften werden Identität, Reinheit und Gehalt geprüft, also die Qualität von Arzneimitteln sichergestellt. Oberste Priorität hat immer das Europäische Arzneibuch (Ph. Eur.), weil es den freien Warenaustausch zwischen den beteiligten Ländern durch einheitliche Arzneimittelqualität ermöglichen soll.
Mit dem Arzneibuch soll sichergestellt werden, dass
1. für die Arzneimittelherstellung und -aufbewahrung sowohl in der Industrie als auch der Apotheke (Offizin) nur sichere Stoffe höchster Qualität verwendet werden
2. in der Apotheke zur Herstellung von Arzneimitteln oder zur Weitergabe an den Kunden eingegangene Materialien wirklich mit den bestellten identisch sind, in für den Benutzer reiner, also sicherer Form vorliegen und zwar mit einem korrekten Gehalt, also z. B. nicht durch Milchzucker oder gar gefährlichere Substanzen gestreckt
3. ApothekerInnen sichere Arzneimittel in der korrekten Dosierung herstellen können
4. auch in Fertigarzneimitteln verwendete Substanzen identifiziert werden können
5. in Notzeiten der Apotheker die Arzneimittelver- sorgung der Bevölkerung gewährleisten kann.

European Pharmacopoeia 7th Edition - Book subscription 2012 (Volumes 7.0 ; 7.01 ; 7.02 . 7.03 ; 7.04 ; 7.5) \ (ISBN: 978-92-871-6706-4 + 978-92-871-6962-4) ; Book or USB Stick or Online or Packages - English - French - Spanish - Bilingual

NEW: For the 7th Edition, the EDQM will be changing its electronic version from DVD-ROM to USB stick. The development will feature a new "portability" option allowing users to run the European Pharmacopoeia application directly from the USB drive following a one-time licensing procedure and with no further installation (provided .NET 2.0 is installed on the target computer). This will therefore be of direct benefit for users who have more than one computer or need to access from other computers while travelling. In addition, the USB stick will continue to allow two fixed installs as is currently the case with the DVD-ROM.

About the European Pharmacopoeia
The texts of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) concern the qualitative and quantitative composition of medicines, the tests to be carried out on medicines, on the raw materials used in the production of medicines and on the intermediates of synthesis. It contains texts covering substances, excipients and preparations for pharmaceutical use of chemical, animal, human or herbal origin, homoeopathic preparations and homoeopathic stocks, antibiotics, as well as dosage forms and containers. The texts also cover biologicals, blood and plasma derivatives, vaccines and radiopharmaceutical preparations. They are legally binding.

Versions and SubscriptionsThe Ph. Eur. is supplied in a variety of formats designed to be flexible to suit the needs of your organisation. It is available in 3 formats - print, online and USB stick.

Book Version: The subscription to the two initial volumes (Vol. 1 and 2) and two supplements (Supplement 7.1 and 7.2) is now available to order. Plus access to the archives is also possible.

Online Version: The online subscriptions provide access to all updates posted and to the archives starting from 1969 (1st Edition). Subscribers have access up to Supplement 7.2 from July 2010 until 31 December 2011.

Eur. while on the move or in environments where the use of the print or online versions would be inappropriate or impractical. It is also ideal for users who have more than one computer. Access to the archives is also possible.

NEW! Packages: Three different packages are now available if interested in having more than one version.

The Ph. Eur. is available in the English and French. Its translation into Spanish is underway and the texts are accessible on the online version as they become available.

Ordering Reproductions of John James Audubon’s Birds of America ( all 435 paintings in John James Audubon's masterwork ) 2011

The University of Pittsburgh is fortunate to own one of the rare, complete sets of John James Audubon’s Birds of America. It is considered to be the single most valuable set of volumes in the collections of the University Library System (ULS). Indeed, only 120 complete sets are known to exist.

While Audubon was creating Birds of America, he was also working on a companion publication, namely, his Ornithological Biography. Both of these sets were acquired by William M. Darlington in the mid-nineteenth century and later donated, as part of his extensive library, to the University of Pittsburgh. Recognizing that the Darlington Library includes significant historical materials, such as rare books, maps, atlases, illustrations, and manuscripts, the ULS charted an ambitious course to digitize a large portion of Mr. Darlington’s collection, including the Birds of America.

The University of Pittsburgh Library System is pleased to provide print reproductions from its double elephant folio edition of the Birds of America.

The reproductions are based on high-resolution digital images of the original work of art scanned by the University’s Digital Research Library on an A0 DigiBook SupraScanner. Each plate was digitized at a resolution of 400 ppi true color (24-bit) using a 14000 pixel CCD linear array camera.

We offer four different reprint sizes all produced from the digital source using the giclée process (i.e., ink-jet printing). The Full size is reproduced at 100% of the plate’s original size (26 x 38 inches), including a one-inch border extending beyond the actual plate. Please see the various sizes and pricing on the reverse.

The plate reproductions are printed on 285 gram smooth fine art paper for digital reproductions. The paper is made of 100% cotton linters and traditional matte finish designed for long-term fade-resistant reproductions. The mould-made fine art paper is free of acid and lignin, thus exhibiting high archival quality. Please note that these reproductions are not scuff-proof and should be treated as fine art.

The ULS has contracted with Warren Associates of Pittsburgh to print the plates. They will be shipped in heavy weight mailing tubes via commercial carrier. From receipt of payment to delivery, orders will take approximately four to six weeks to process.

The price of each reproduction includes shipping and handling (within the continental U.S.). The ULS can only accept a check or money order made payable to the University of Pittsburgh. You will be contacted by email to verify your order prior to printing.

Paper Sizes Available:
- Full (original) 27 ¾ x 40 ¼ inches
- Large 20 ¾ x 30 inches
- Medium 12 ¾ x 19 inches
- Small 9 ¾ x 14 inches $ 50.00 (original) 27 ¾ x 40 ¼ inches

Originally sold on subscription basis between 1827-38, the work was priced at $1,000 and was unbound. Its value today is about $9 million, said Dabrishus, who added that the Carnegie Museum of Natural History also owns a folio.
