Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis

Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis

The quality and safety of food are crucial for human nutrition. However evaluating the chemical composition of food is challenging for the analyst and requires powerful methods. Chromatography and mass spectrometry (MS) is the gold standard for analyzing complex food samples including raw materials and intermediate and finished products. Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis covers the MS-based analysis of different aspects of food quality which include nutritional value profile of macronutrients (proteins lipids and carbohydrates) micronutrients (vitamins) and nutraceutical active compounds. Additionally sensory quality flavor food pigments safety and detection of pesticides contact materials veterinary drugs and pharmaceuticals organic pollutants and pathogens are covered. Key Features: Contains the basics of mass spectrometry and experimental strategies Explores determination of macro- and micronutrients Analyzes sensory and nutraceutical food quality Discusses detection of contaminants and proof of authenticity Presents emerging methods for food analysis This book contains an introductory section that explains the basics of MS and the difference between targeted and untargeted strategies for beginners. Further it points out new analytical challenges such as monitoring contaminants of emerging concern and presents innovative techniques (e. g. ambient ionization MS and data mining).

The Ontology of Physics for Biology Semantic Modeling of Multiscale Multidomain Physiological Systems

The Ontology of Physics for Biology Semantic Modeling of Multiscale Multidomain Physiological Systems

This book introduces semantic representations of multiscale multidomain physiological systems that link to qualitative reasoning and to quantitative analysis of biophysical processes in health and disease. Two major public health problems diabetes and hypertension serve as use-cases to illustrate the depth and rigor of such representations for logical inference and quantitative analysis. Central to this approach is the Ontology of Physics for Biology (OPB) that formally represents the foundations of classical physics and engineering system dynamics that are the basis for our understanding of biomedical entities processes and functional relationships. Furthermore we introduce OPB-based software for annotating and abstracting available biosimulation models for reuse recombination and for archiving of physics-based biomedical knowledge. We have formalized and leveraged physics-based biological knowledge as a working view of physiology and biophysics from three distinct perspectives: (1) biologists and biomedical investigators (2) biophysicists and bioengineers and (3) biomedical ontologists and informaticists. We present a logical and intuitive semantics of classical physics as a tool for mediating and translating biophysical knowledge among biomedical domains. Daniel L. Cook MD PhD John H.

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low-dimensional compounds are molecules that correspond to various shapes such as rod ladder (one-dimensional compounds) and sheet (two-dimensional compounds). They are ordinarily found in electromagnetic fields. Recently versatile low-dimensional compounds were proposed for use as components of various functional materials. These new-class low-dimensional compounds contribute significantly to industrial/materials sciences. The molecular architecture consisting of low-dimensional compounds can also be found in nature. One example is the cell cytoskeleton which is a network- or bundle-like architecture consisting of rod-like protein assemblies. The cell accomplishes its motility by structural transition of the cytoskeleton—that is phase transition of the architecture of low-dimensional compounds in response to some stimuli induces shape changes in cells. Another example is nacre which is composed of layered aragonite platelets usually a metastable CaCO3 polymorph. The layered inorganic platelets give nacre its stiffness and noncombustibility. Thus the molecular architecture of low-dimensional compounds in natural life contributes to their functionality. This book reviews various advanced studies on the application of low-dimensional compounds and is therefore important for the development of materials sciences and industrial technologies. | Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Femininity and the Physically Active Woman

Femininity and the Physically Active Woman

The fitness boom of the last two decades has led to many people incorporating exercise into their lifestyles through activities such as jogging and aerobics. However whilst many physical and psychological health benefits have been documented far too few people actually take part in enough exercise to glean significant improvements and this is much more a problem for women than men. Femininity and the Physically Active Woman explores one reason many women offer for their lack of involvement in sport and exercise - that they are not the 'sporty' type. Precilla Y. L. Choi argues that the 'sporty' type is masculine and to determine how this notion might affect women's self-perceptions she critically examines the experiences of women athletes bodybuilders recreational exercisers and girls' physical education. What emerges is the importance of visible differences between women and men in terms of muscularity strength and agility in order to maintain the gender order. Thus if a girl or woman wishes to play the masculine game of sport she must do so in conformity with a number of patriarchal rules which ensure she is first and foremost recognised as a heterosexual feminine being. Contributing to a psychology of the physically active woman by examining women's experiences from critical feminist and gendered perspectives Femininity and the Physically Active Woman will be of great interest to students researchers practitioners and teachers from a range of disciplines. Precilla Y. L. Choi is the British Association for the Advancement of Science's Joseph Lister Lecturer for 2000. She has co-edited with Paula Nicolson Female Sexuality (Prentice Hall).

Farce

Farce

Farce has always been relegated to the lowest rung of the ladder of dramatic genres. Distinctions between farce and more literary comic forms remain clouded even in the light of contemporary efforts to rehabilitate this type of comedy. Is farce really nothing more than slapstick-the putting out of candles kicking down of tables falling over joynt-stools as Thomas Shadwell characterized it in the seventeenth century? Or was his contemporary Nahum Tate correct when he declared triumphantly that there are no rules to be prescribed for that sort of wit no patterns to copy; and 'tis altogether the creature of imagination? Davis shows farce to be an essential component in both the comedic and tragic traditions. Farce sets out to explore the territory of what makes farce distinct as a comic genre. Its lowly origins date back to the classic Graeco-Roman theatre; but when formal drama was reborn by the process of elaboration of ritual within the mediaeval Church the French term farce became synonymous with a recognizable style of comic performance. Taking a wide range of farces from the briefest and most basic of fair-ground mountebank performances to fully-fledged five-act structures from the late nineteenth century the book reveals the patterns of comic plot and counter-plot that are common to all. The result is a novel classification of farce-plots which serves to clarify the differences between farce and more literary comic forms and to show how quickly farce can shade into other styles of humor. The key is a careful balance between a revolt against order and propriety and a kind of Realpolitik which ultimately restores the social conventions under attack. A complex array of devices in such things as framing plot characterization timing and acting style maintain the delicate balance. Contemporary examples from the London stage bring the discussion up-to-date and reveal farce as a complex and potent comic form with its own history rules and traditions. Farce sheds light on the genre its history and usage in terms of dramatic critics. Davis examines the recurring themes in farcical comedies including rebellion revenge and coincidence. This classic work updated with a new introduction and 50% new material has been a staple of literary and humor studies libraries for years. It is part of the Transaction Series in Humor edited by Arthur Asa Berger.

Black Man Emerging Facing the Past and Seizing a Future in America

Black Man Emerging Facing the Past and Seizing a Future in America

In the face of centuries of institutional and interpersonal racism in light of the signals they receive from society and given the choices they must make about what they want from life and how to go about getting it-how can Black men in America realize their full potential? In Black Man Emerging psychologists Joseph L. White and James H. Cones III fashion a moving psychological and social portrait that reflects their personal views on the struggle of Black men against oppression and for self-determination. Using numerous case histories and biographical sketches of Black men who have failed and those who have prevailed the authors describe strategies for responding to racism and entrenched power-underscoring the healing capacity of religion family Black consciousness movements mentorships educational programs paid employment and other positive forces. They also explore the concept of identity as it applies to being Black and male and ithe influence of Black men on American culture. Black Man Emerging is a poignant and personal discussion of the issues facing and felt by Black men in this country and an important commentary on the conflicts born of human diversity. | Black Man Emerging Facing the Past and Seizing a Future in America

Taboo Topics

Taboo Topics

Why is it so hard to investigate taboo topics? A myriad of forces shape and fashion human action reaction thought and feeling and these are not always well understood. Norman L. Farberow argues that culture itself provides structure for its members developing in a well-defined way the rules to which they will conform. Such rules find expression not only in written laws and regulations but include and most often stem from unwritten folkways customs and especially taboos the subject of this book. The researchers reporting in this volume take no position on the nature of a taboo itself but concentrate on the difficulty in investigating taboos. As members of society and human beings they do make judgments and personal investments. Thus when taboos continue or develop without useful society-enriching functions or facilitate self-destructive activities they raise questions about why they persist. Such topics include many areas‘some social such as sex death and peace; others more academic such as parapsychology graphology religion and hypnosis. Peace and the public are included in the discussion because they are emotion-laden areas and powerful and important factors in a shrinking world and expanding universe. Peace especially has begun to be looked upon with suspicion perhaps a real commentary on our times. This probing collection will be sure to interest sociologists anthropologists and all other social scientists.
