Functional Food Carbohydrates presents comprehensive coverage of a broad range of physiologically active carbohydrate compounds and their roles in the promotion of health and the prevention of disease. It provides the most up-to-date information available on the chemistry, physical properties, processing effects, production, and physiological function of these food constituents. The volume discusses the specific classes of carbohydrates in foods that seem to exert health-enhancing effects based on clinical and/or epidemiological studies and reviews the physiological and metabolic roles that

Voltage Stability of Electric Power Systems presents a clear description of voltage instability and collapse phenomena. It proposes a uniform and coherent theoretical framework for analysis and covers state-of-the-art methods. The book describes practical methods that can be used for voltage security assessment and offers a variety of examples. This is a first attempt to condense the technical papers and reports on this subject into a single, coherent, and theoretically sound presentation. Transmission, generation, and load aspects of the voltage instability problem are treated in detail, and

This textbook offers the first unified treatment of wave propagation in electronic and electromagnetic systems and introduces readers to the essentials of the transfer matrix method, a powerful analytical tool that can be used to model and study an array of problems pertaining to wave propagation in electrons and photons. It is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics, materials science, electrical and computer engineering, and mathematics, and is ideal for researchers in photonic crystals, negative index materials, left-handed materials, plasmonics, nonlinear effects,

Inversion polymorphism in Drosophila has long served as a research subject for a variety of evolutionary studies and continues to be extremely important in understanding evolutionary principles today. Until now, no single volume has ever been assembled as a summary of this work. Drosophila Inversion Polymorphism provides background information, explores new and rigorous approaches to reconstructing phylogenetic relationships from inversion variation, and discusses inversion polymorphism in the six most studied species groups. Some chapters examine general principles and conclusions, some prese

We all know what it feels like to be "on"—to wake up feeling refreshed and rested, to bound through the day feeling like you can conquer the world as you bounce between work, family, and friends, and go to bed feeling relaxed and satisfied with your accomplishments. What made all the difference during those highly productive days? It’s simple—energy. You can’t buy it at the store, but you can control your energy levels. Here for the first time is a simple program to increase your energy immediately—and keep it up throughout the day, every day. Through his work with more than 500 cli
