This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical tools, real-world applications, policy implications and corner solutions of microeconomics.It offers a discussion of all significant topics including applications and extension of consumer theory, theory of the firm, production, cost and supply, partial and general equilibrium, welfare economics, uncertainty and information, and market imperfections as well as a detailed overview of the theory of games. Apart from all the topics receiving both the algebraic and geometric treatment, the other distinguishing features of the book are an emphasis on policy implications and a full treatment of corner solutions. This latter feature has arisen out of the realization that students easily master interior solutions by memorizing the standard first-order conditions but do not necessarily understand the underlying concepts. Complete with several original algebraic derivations and graphical expositions, this book will serve as an indispensable textbook for students of microeconomics.The book will be useful to students, researchers, and teachers of economics, international economics, industrial economics, managerial economics, and agricultural economics. It will also be a useful reference for those studying public policy and law.

The book covers all the radiation safety aspects while working with unsealed radionuclides. Radiation safety plays a significant role in routine nuclear medicine practices and is necessary to protect occupational workers, patients, members of the general public and the environment. A fair knowledge of radiation safety is expected from all nuclear medicine professionals. Chapters include basics of radiation physics, biological bases of radiation protection, planning and design of nuclear medicine facilities, cyclotron and high dose therapy facilities, radiation safety considerations in nuclear medicine, cyclotron while preparing radiopharmaceuticals. It also includes the working mechanism of radiation detectors, quality assurance of positron emission tomography (PET) and gamma camera, including single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), emergency preparedness plan, nuclear medicine and CT dosimetry, transport regulations, the role of national regulatory authorities and radioactive waste management. The last chapter provides probable model questions asked in the radiological safety officer certification examination and includes 250 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), 100 true or false, 60 fill in the blanks, and 40 match the following questions. The book is written in a simple language for a better understanding of the occupational workers of any grade. It serves as reference material for nuclear medicine professionals on radiation safety, related to planning, quality assurance, dosimetry and various regulations pertaining to nuclear medicine. It is a ready reckoner for the students pursuing a degree/diploma in nuclear medicine and preparing for certification courses in radiation safety to understand the subject matter along with options to attempt practice questions.
