Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Like an army of millions ready to defend its territory the human immune system acts as the body's primary line of defense-a complex network of interacting cells that protects us from pathogens and other foreign substances. But many components of the immune system exhibit change after prolonged heavy exertion indicating that it is suppressed and stressed albeit transiently following prolonged endurance exercise. For marathon runners distance swimmers and any other endurance athlete who undergoes repeated cycles of heavy exertion a weakened immune system could lead to health complications such as respiratory infection. As a result interest in various nutrient supplements with the potential to counter exercise-induced immunosuppression has grown. Nutrition and Exercise Immunology reviews the link between nutrition and immune function with special application to athletic endeavor. Written by respected researchers in sports medicine and exercise immunology this text covers topics such as carbohydrates and the immune response to prolonged exertion; protein exercise and immunity; and vitamins immunity and infection risk in athletes. It also takes a look at future directions in nutrition and exercise immunology. For sports medicine professionals dietitians nutritionists exercise immunologists as well as endurance athletes Nutrition and Exercise Immunology provides an important and in-depth look into this exciting new area of scientific research.

Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Most books on standardization describe the impact of ISO and related organizations on many industries. While this is great for managing an organization it leaves engineers asking questions such as “what are the effects of standards on my designs?” and “how can I use standardization to benefit my work?” Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing provides hands-on knowledge for incorporating standards into the entire process from design bench to factory floor. The book’s five self-contained sections consider the scope of design and manufacturing standards for the design of discrete products standards for the manufacture of discrete products standards for the use of discrete products as well as support standards. The authors survey in detail the major standards-setting organizations and outline the procedure for developing standards. They consider standards from the perspective of product equipment and end-user using this as a platform to explain the economic benefits of standardization. Case studies in every section illustrate the concepts and offer practical insight for using standards in CAD/CAM selection of components process planning human/machine interaction and computer interfacing. With its modular approach and practical wisdom based on the authors’ years of broad experience Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing supplies the tools to incorporate standards into every stage of design and manufacturing.

Thermal Computations for Electronics Conductive Radiative and Convective Air Cooling

Thermal Computations for Electronics Conductive Radiative and Convective Air Cooling

The first edition of Thermal Computations for Electronics: Conductive Radiative and Convective Air Cooling was based on the author's lecture notes that he developed over the course of nearly 40 years of thermal design and analysis activity the last 15 years of which included teaching a university course at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The subject material was developed from publications of respected researchers and includes topics and methods original to this author. Numerous students have contributed to both the first and second editions the latter corrected sections rewritten (e. g. radiation spatial effects Green's function properties for thermal spreading 1-D FEA theory and application) and some new material added. The flavor and organization of the first edition have been retained whereby the reader is guided through the analysis process for systems and then components. Important new material has been added regarding altitude effects on forced and buoyancy driven airflow and heat transfer. The first 20% of the book is devoted to the prediction of airflow and well-mixed air temperatures in systems circuit board channels and heat sinks followed by convective (PCB-mounted components included) radiative and conductive heat transfer and the resultant temperatures in electronic equipment. Detailed application examples illustrate a variety of problems. Downloads (from the CRC website) include: MathcadTM text examples exercise solutions (adopting professors only) plus PDF lecture aids (professors only) and a tutorial (Chapter 14) using free FEA software to solve a thermal spreading problem. This book is a valuable professional resource for self-study and is ideal for use in a course on electronics cooling. It is well-suited for a first course in heat transfer where applications are as important as theory. | Thermal Computations for Electronics Conductive Radiative and Convective Air Cooling

Approximately 65% of our population is overweight and 12% are morbidly obese. This is despite more than 25 years of attempted medical management. Clearly all current efforts have failed to control this enormous problem. Could it be that we have failed to recognize the cause of the disease and therefore have misdirected our efforts? � Alfredo Fernandez MD FASMBS Surgeon Tampa Florida Reducing obesity through bariatric surgery provides a sustainable weight loss regimen because it restricts the size of the stomach and limits food intake.
