Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

This book is about the principal concept of soil mechanics that become the basis in explaining the soil mechanical behaviours. It is the extended concept of effective stress of Terzaghi and it is known as the concept of effective stress and shear strength interaction. This new concept incorporates the role of mobilised shear strength developed within the soil body in resisting the compressive effect. Based on this new concept a comprehensive soil volume change framework has been developed known as Rotational Multiple Yield Surface Framework (RMYSF). This RMYSF is able to explain and quantify the puzzled and complex soil volume change behaviours. The main advantage of this RMYSF is that it is able to make a good prediction of soil and rock stress-strain responses at any effective stress. This will lead to accurate prediction of soil and rock settlements. Due to its simplicity and the comprehensive nature of this new fundamental concept in soil and rock mechanics it will eventually be included in soil and rock mechanics syllabus for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This book would be very useful for geotechnical engineers dealing with soil settlement underground excavation computer modelling rock mechanics road engineering earth and rock dam engineering and tunnel engineering. | Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease

Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease

Lifestyle change is universally recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic disease yet the majority of clinical practice educational programs and clinical trials within these chronic disease spaces focus on medication use and procedures with insufficient emphasis on lifestyle medicine. The concept of lifestyle medicine can serve as a countermeasure acting through aspects of personal choice natural and built environments cultural traditions and socioeconomic influences that affect the metabolic health of an individual. Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease provides clinical evidence for and a mechanistic understanding of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine.

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Over the past two decades type 2 diabetes has emerged as a leading threat to global health and the considerable overlap in obesity and diabetes trends are likely no coincidence. While the underpinnings for both etiologies are linked to lifestyles particularly dietary and physical activity patterns determining optimal approaches for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes using dietary composition remains a challenge. Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes: Etiology and Prevention rigorously examines various perspectives on diet and type 2 diabetes. The book presents a comprehensive description and evaluation of the central research to date primarily in humans on the macronutrients and their subclasses micronutrients foods beverages and overall dietary patterns with respect to the risk of type 2 diabetes. It addresses the mediating/mechanistic role of obesity and body composition throughout the text where appropriate. The chapter authors all leading researchers in the field discuss fundamental nutritional principles applied to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes as well as applied behavioral studies on nutrition and diabetes for each subject area. The depth and breadth of this book includes aspects of the food synergy model for understanding the complicated pathways between nutrition dietary habits and risk for type 2 diabetes.

Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences: (Volume 2) Quantity-Based Analysis

Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences: (Volume 2) Quantity-Based Analysis

This textbook provides an accessible introduction to physics for undergraduate students in the life sciences including those majoring in all branches of biology biochemistry and psychology and students working on pre-professional programs such as pre-medical pre-dental and physical therapy. The text is geared for the algebra-based physics course often named College Physics in the United States. The order of topics studied in this volume requires students to first understand a concept such as the conservation of energy momentum voltage or current the change in a quantity such as entropy or the rules of ray and wave optics. Then students apply these concepts to solve problems in the areas of thermodynamics electrical circuit optics and atomic and nuclear physics. Throughout the text these quantity-based applications are used to understand systems that are critical to the understanding of biological systems such as the entropy of evolution the signal down the axon of a nerve cell the optics of the eye and the operation of a laser. This is part 2 of a two-volume set; volume 1 introduced students to the methods of mechanics and applied these problem-solving techniques to explicitly biological topics such as the sedimentation rate of red blood cells in haemoglobin the torques and forces on a bacterium employing a flagellum to propel itself through a viscous fluid and the terminal velocity of a protein moving in a gel electrophoresis device. Key features: Organized and centered around analysis techniques not traditional mechanics and E&M Presents a unified approach in a different order meaning that the same laboratories equipment and demonstrations can be used when teaching the course Demonstrates to students that the analysis and concepts they are learning are critical to the understanding of biological systems | Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences: (Volume 2) Quantity-Based Analysis
