Integrating Therapeutic and Complementary Nutrition

Integrating Therapeutic and Complementary Nutrition

Consumers look to health professionals for guidance on how to integrate complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies into their lifestyles yet most health care professionals are trained only in conventional practices. Integrating Therapeutic and Complementary Nutrition provides the scientific foundation necessary to understand CAM nutrition practices and how they are being integrated into conventional care. Working within a framework that examines complementary and alternative therapies alongside conventional nutrition practice the authors examine controversial issues surrounding CAM practice. Integrating Therapeutic and Complementary Nutrition replaces popular myths with fact based and verifiable information from nutritionists professors researchers and industry professionals. Each chapter describes in detail the underlying process involved in both healthy function and dysfunction of each organ system and disease state to provide the necessary background for the comparison contrast and conjunction of conventional and alternative therapy. Paying particular attention to determining which therapies might be appropriate for which conditions including which supplements in what amounts and from which manufacturers this book uses scientific data considered opinions and case studies to weed out the beneficial from the harmful. While aware that there unanswered questions exist the editors provide a much needed reference to the information currently available clearing the confusion between what is known and what is not; what is proven and what is though well-intentioned just wishful thinking.

Deep Excavations in Soil

Deep Excavations in Soil

The book describes the theory and current practices for design of earth lateral support for deep excavations in soil. It addresses basic principles of soil mechanics and explains how these principles are embodied in design methods including hand calculations. It then introduces the use of numerical methods including the fundamental “beam on springs” models and then more sophisticated computer programmes which can model soil as a continuum in two or three dimensions. Constitutive relationships are introduced that are in use for representing the behaviour of soil including a strain hardening model and a Cam Clay model including groundwater flow and coupled consolidation. These methods are illustrated by reference to practical applications and case histories from the author’s direct experience and some of the pitfalls that can occur are discussed. Theory and design are strongly tied to construction practice with emphasis on monitoring the retaining structures and movement of surrounding ground and structures in the context of safety and the Observational Method. Examples are presented for conventional “Bottom-up” and “Top-down” sequences along with hybrid sequences giving tips on how to optimise the design and effect economies of cost and time for construction. It is written for practising geotechnical civil and structural engineers and especially for senior and MSc students.

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.
