ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFNutrition and Health

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFGeriatric Nutrition

This comprehensive guide provides a concise overview of all important aspects of diet and health focusing on food groups, calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and the need for water. Nutrition basics come down to eating a variety of wholesome foods that support your health. Nutrition not only affects your body’s ability to maintain itself but also helps you manage your risk for developing disease. An occasional lapse in eating foods of high nutritional quality is unlikely to cause problems, but consuming low-quality foods, espe-cially when practiced over time, can impact both your short-term and long-term well-being. Eating foods of low quality that lack some or all of the vitamins and minerals you need each day can lead to symptoms relating to the specific function of the missing nutrient.

This illustrative handbook provides a comprehensive review of nutritional assessment, intervention programs for the elderly, and health promotion activities. Early aging as well as geriatric disease foreshorten life, but both can be pre-vented to some extent by diet or by diet and exercise. Diseases that can be nutritionally prevented, giving us a greater chance of achieving our genetically determined lifespans, include nutritional deficiency states and chronic diet-relat-ed diseases such as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and cancer. Disabilities resulting from these diseases and from degenerative arthritis are also subject to modulation by diet. The nutritional requirements of the elderly are mostly similar to those of younger people. Elderly usually need fewer calories and similar nutrient intakes compared with those of younger people. There are certain problems in carrying out nutritional assessment in the elderly, but techniques are now available which make valid assessment possible even in the oldest old. Older persons are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFMedicinal Plants

This illustrative handbook includes specific remedies for asthma, headaches, colds, stomachaches, depression, and many other common ailments. Plants have been used for medicinal purposes long before prehistoric period. Ancient Unani manuscripts Egyptian papyrus and Chinese writings described the use of herbs. Evidence exist that Unani Hakims, Indian Vaids and European and Mediterranean cultures were using herbs for over 4000 years as medicine. Indigenous cultures such as Rome, Egypt, Iran, Africa and America used herbs in their healing rituals, while other developed traditional medical systems such as Unani, Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine in which herbal therapies were used systematically. Traditional systems of medicine continue to be widely practised on many ac-counts. Population rise, inadequate supply of drugs, prohibitive cost of treatments, side effects of several synthetic drugs and development of resistance to currently used drugs for infectious diseases have led to increased emphasis on the use of plant materials as a source of medicines for a wide variety of human ailments.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFOrganic Foods

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFFood Production and Safety

This illustrative handbook covers everything from vegetables and fruits to meat, poultry, and dairy products, a comprehensive consumer’s guide to organic foods furnishes more than one hundred recipes, examining factors such as the role of certain nutrients in prevention and promotion of chronic disease, and health benefits of bioactive compounds in plants. Organic foods have exploded in popularity over the last two decades. Organic foods have been grown or farmed without the use of artificial chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or genetically modified organisms. In order to be labelled organic, a food product must be free of artificial food additives. This includes artificial sweeteners, preservatives, coloring, flavoring and monosodium glutamate (MSG). Organically grown crops tend to use natural fertilizers like manure to improve plant growth. Animals raised organically are also not given antibiotics or hormones. Organic farming tends to improve soil quality and the conservation of groundwater. It also reduces pollution and may be better for the environment. The most commonly organic foods are fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Nowadays there are also many processed organic products available, such as sodas, cookies and breakfast cereals. Once found only in health food stores, organic food is now a regular feature at most supermarkets.

This illustrated handbook delivers a wealth of information and provides a foundation for a practical understanding in food production and safety initiatives and safety guidelines. Ensuring safe food will be important for policymakers, food trade professionals, food producers, food processors, food researchers, public health professionals, and consumers. Most food is now produced by large farms, processed industrially, and sold in supermarkets and multinational food outlets. Modern food production has reduced the cost and increased the variety of food available, but this centralization of the food supply presents an opportunity for foodborne pathogens and toxins to infect and poison large numbers of consumers. Furthermore, the global-ization of food trade means that food can become contaminated in one country and cause outbreaks of foodborne illness in another. Modern food production is so complex that a systematic approach is needed to identify the hazards at each point in the food chain. This handbook is designed to serve as a guideline for food manufacturers and includes the key areas necessary to control the safety, labelling and composition of food during manufacturing, processing, storage or distribution.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFFunctional Foods

All foods are functional to some extent because all foods provide taste, aroma and nutritive value. However, foods are now being examined intensively for added physiologic benefits, which may reduce chronic disease risk or otherwise optimize health. Functional foods can be considered to be those whole, fortified, enriched or enhanced foods that provide health benefits beyond the provision of essential nutrients, when they are consumed at efficacious levels as part of a varied diet on a regular basis. Linking the consumption of functional foods or food ingredients with health claims should be based on sound scientific evidence, with the “gold standard” being replicated, randomized, placebo-controlled, intervention trials in human subjects. This handbook categorizes a variety of functional foods according to the type of evidence supporting their functionality, the strength of that evidence and the recommended intakes. Functional foods represent one of the most intensively investigated and widely promoted areas in the food and nutrition sciences today. However, it must be empha-sized that these foods and ingredients are not magic bullets or panaceas for poor health habits. Diet is only one aspect of a comprehensive approach to good health.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFDrugs & Alcohol Related Health Issues

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFChemical Separations

This illustrated text provides readers information on drug and alcohol use, discussing types of drugs, reasons for us-ing, and the dangers of using chemical substances. Drugs are chemicals. Different drugs, because of their chemical structures, can affect the body in different ways. In fact, some drugs can even change a person’s body and brain in ways that last long after the person has stopped taking drugs, maybe even permanently. Heavy drinking can cause the number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells to be abnormally low. This condition, known as anemia, can trigger a host of symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness. Today, one in four deaths is attribut-able to illicit drug use. People who live with substance dependence have a higher risk of all bad outcomes including unintentional injuries, accidents, risk of domestic violence, medical problems, and death. The impact of drug abuse and dependence can be far-reaching, affecting almost every organ in the human body.

Chemical separations is a method used in chemistry to purify substances or to isolate them from other substances, for either preparative or analytical purposes. In industrial applications the ultimate goal is the isolation of a product of given purity, whereas in analysis the primary goal is the determination of the amount or concentration of that sub-stance in a sample. This illustrated handbook provides detailed coverage of the principles, equipment, and techniques involved in the separation methods. It discovers all major categories of separation, including those involving phase changes, extraction, chromatography, ion-exchange resins, electric fields, flotation, membranes, and others.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFSpice and Herb

A comprehensive and illustrated ideas with details for every herb and spice. Contains complete descriptions, histo-ries, and culinary aspects from elementary herbs to the most exotic seeds and chilies. We often hear the term “herbs and spices”. As any amateur chef knows, herbs and spices are vital ingredients in many dishes. They add flavor, aroma, color, texture and even nutrients. Herbs are the leaves of the plant, while spices come from the roots, bark, and seeds. Essentially, any part of the plant that is not a leaf and can be used for seasoning would fall into the spice category. Spices are usually dried before being used to season foods. Some examples are cinnamon, cloves, ginger and pepper. Unlike herbs, they are grown in more tropical countries. They’ve also been known to preserve foods and some have medicinal value, such as turmeric with its anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal properties. Examples of herbs include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley and mint. They are usually grown in more temperate areas than spices and have great medicinal value and are also used in the preparation of cosmetic products.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFChemical Engineering

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFToxicology

This illustrate text provides a quick and convincing point of reference for chemical engineering, covering areas such as materials, energy balances, reactions, and separations. Chemical engineering is the study and practice of transforming substances at large scales for the tangible improvement of the human condition. Such transformations are executed to produce other useful substances or energy, and lie at the heart of vast segments of the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and electronic industries. Chemical engineering differs from chemistry mainly in the focus on large scales. Chemical engineering embraces an enormous range of size scales in a fully integrated way — ranging from atoms to oil tankers. The face of chemical engineering is changing, and we seek to mold that change for the common good.

Toxicology has matured since it was defined as the ‘science of poisons’. Modern toxicology is no longer anthropocentric but takes on different views at various biological systems, including ecosystems. Each will interact specifically when exposed to defined chemical agents, including drugs. Toxicity is no longer a specific property of drugs and chemicals but an operative term to describe the adverse outcome of a specific drugs-host interaction. Newer developments in toxicology have focused on the host. The key to understanding is in the host proteins that interact with the drug and mediate the cellular response. Hence, the proteom, i.e. the complete set of proteins of a cell, an individual or a species, determines how an exposed biological system may interact with the manifold of different xenobiotics. Structure-activity studies try to find out useful predictive parameters for risk and toxicity assessment. This comprehensive text devises learning strategies that build on the fundamentals to aid readers in toxicology. Among the topics deliberated are the potential hostile effects of drugs, pesticides, food additives and industrial chemicals.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFHydroponic Food Production

This illustrated text is a comprehensive and practical guide to soilless growing, explaining how to operate a hydro-ponic garden, with detailed instructions, photographs, and step-by-step plans. Hydroponics is a subset of hydro-culture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Terrestrial plants may be grown with only their roots exposed to the mineral solution, or the roots may be supported by an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel. Growing medium is the material in which the roots of the plant are growing. This covers a vast variety of substances which include Rockwool, perlite, vermiculite, coconut fiber, gravel, sand and many more. The growing medium is an inert substance that doesn’t supply any nutrition to the plants. All the nutrition comes from the nutrient solution (water and fertilizer combined). You can therefore, easily control every-thing the plants receive. The strength and pH of the nutrient solution is easy to adjust so that the plants receive just the right amount of food. The watering/feeding cycles can be controlled by an inexpensive timer so that the plants get watered on schedule, as needed.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFClimate Change

This text is a comprehensive introduction to climate change that outlines key scientific, economic, and political issues, reviews how the global community has addressed the issue to date, and discusses the options available. Usually, climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation (rain or snow), humidity, wind and seasons. Climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that de-pend on them. But the climate we’ve come to expect is not what it used to be, because the past is no longer a reli-able predictor of the future. Our climate is rapidly changing with disruptive impacts, and that change is progressing faster than any seen in the last 2,000 years. Because so many systems are tied to climate, a change in climate can affect many related aspects of where and how people, plants and animals live, such as food production, availability and use of water, and health risks. This text will be valuable to the growing number of both undergraduate and graduate courses on impacts of climate change, as well as providing a concise overview to the field.

Hydrologic stresses throughout the 20th century and presently have caused the depletion and degradation of vital ground-wa-ter resources in many areas. Groundwater Resources and Management provides an authoritative, comprehensive treatment of groundwater resources development and management, offering sustainability methods and detailed principles on ground-water protection and restoration. Groundwater differs from surface water because of the contrasting physical and chemical environment in which it occurs, although the water itself is essentially part of the same overall cycle. Groundwater resources management has to deal with balancing the exploitation of a complex resource (in terms of quantity, quality and surface water interactions) with the increasing demands of water and land users (who can pose a threat to resource availability and quality). This illustrated handbook deals with the quantitative, essentially resource-related, issues of groundwater management, and only touches marginally upon groundwater pollution protection.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFGeographic Information Technology

Geographic information technology uses computer-based tools to analyze spatial information into a geographic information system (GIS). In a GIS, data of the real world are stored into a georeferenced database, which can be displayed via maps. There is a dynamic link between the displayed maps and the stored georeferenced data, that is, a change on the maps leads to a change in the database and vice versa. Use of GIS has seen unprecedented growth in the last ten years. With the powerful technology getting cheaper and system memories expanding, meaning that we can handle much bigger sets of data, some say that GIS is in a golden age. There are a number of applications that use geographic information technologies in numerous economical sectors, such as transportation, medicine, agriculture, mineral exploration, forestry, and governance. This book emphases on the use of GIS and the technol-ogy it has been allied to and other areas of geographic information technology.

This comprehensive handbook provides a basis for the practicing engineer to design concrete structures which avoid the problem using modern concepts and specifications. Civil engineering has a great importance as without this branch of engineering roads, buildings, canals, dams cannot be made as it is work of a civil engineer. Civil engineers are becoming more and more important with time. Now, they are also responsible for looking after the fire control systems and installing quick fire exit points in the buildings they design. This will help in minimizing the loss of life during fire accidents. Civil engineering is one of the oldest of the engineering professions. Ancient feats such as the building of the Egyptian pyramids and Roman road systems are based on civil engineering principles. Another very important aspect of civil engineering is environmental engineering.

It is very necessary to learn how to control air pollution because if we do not do then it is possible that air around us keeps on getting polluted. Ultimately a day may come when each one of us might be using oxygen cylinder to enjoy fresh air. This would add burden on our already high cost of living. Therefore, we should understand ways and means of air pollution control and analysis. This illustrated handbook is an essential reading for undergraduate and postgrad-uate students of Environmental Science and/ Engineering and provides an insight into the chemistry of air pollution. Different techniques are used for controlling air pollution caused by ‘gaseous pollutants’ and that caused by ‘particu-late pollutants’.

The life sciences are rapidly-advancing and thoroughly exciting fields of study that include: anat-omy, animal biology, bacteriology, biochemistry, cell biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, molecular biology, plant biology, physiology, and virology. The life sciences are vital to further increase our understanding of human health, environmental issues, and broader matters that increase our understanding about the web of life on earth. A clear and concise survey of the major issues and concepts embedded in the history of life science, this book covers the development and significance of scientific methodologies, the relationship between science and society.

This handbook covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermedi-ates. Dyes and pigments are substances that impart color to a material. The term colorant is often used for both dyes (also called dyestuffs) and pigments. The major difference between dyes and pigments is the solubility. Pigments are generally not soluble in water, oil, or other common solvents. To be applied to a material, they are first ground into a fine powder and thoroughly mixed with some liquid, called the dispersing agent or vehicle. Pigments are used for coloring paint, ink, plastic, fabric, cos-metics, food, and other materials. Most pigments used in manufacturing and the visual arts are dry colorants, usually ground into a fine powder.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFEnvironmental Biotechnology

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFFood Biotechnology

Environmental biotechnology is a system of scientific and engineering knowledge related to the use of microor-ganisms and their products in the prevention of environmental pollution through biotreatment of solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes, bioremediation of polluted environments, and biomonitoring of environment and treatment pro-cesses. The advantages of biotechnological treatment of wastes are as follows: biodegradation or detoxication of a wide spectrum of hazardous substances by natural microorganisms; availability of a wide range of biotechnological methods for complete destruction of hazardous wastes; and diversity of the conditions suitable for biodegradation. This handbook provides comprehensive information on the diverse aspects of environmental biotechnology and also discusses the processes and new technologies dealing with pollutants, degradation and resource recovery.

Biotechnology has a long history of use in food production and processing. For ten thousand years fermentation, a form of biotechnology, has been used to produce wine, beer and bread. The tools of food biotechnology include both traditional breeding techniques, such as cross-breeding and more modern methods, which involve using what we know about genes, or instructions for specific traits, to improve the quantity and quality of plant species. The potential benefits of biotechnology are enormous. Food producers can use new biotechnology to produce new products with desirable characteristics. These include characteristics such as disease and drought-resistant plants, leaner meat and enhanced flavor and nutritional quality of foods. This technology has also been used to develop life-saving vaccines, insulin, cancer treatment and other pharmaceuticals to improve quality of life. This illustrated work provides a bal-anced and organized discussion of the communications of food science and biotechnology at the molecular and industrial levels.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFPlant Biotechnology

This book introduces the foundations for plant biotechnology by outlining the biological aspects including gene structure and expression, and the basic procedures in plant biotechnology of genomics, metabolomics, and tran-scriptomics. The roots of plant biotechnology can be traced back to the time when humans started collecting seeds from their favorite wild plants and began cultivating them in tended fields. It appears that when the plants were harvested, the seeds of the most desirable plants were retained and replanted the next growing season. While these primitive agriculturists did not have extensive knowledge of the life sciences, they evidently did understand the basic principles of collecting and replanting the seeds of any naturally occurring variant plants with improved qualities, such as those with the largest fruits or the highest yield, in a process that we call artificial selection. This domestication and controlled improvement of plant species was the beginning of plant biotechnology.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFGenetics

This illustrated text provides a clear, balanced, and comprehensive introduction to genetics and genomics. Genetics is the study of heredity. Heredity is a biological process where a parent passes certain genes onto their children or offspring. Every child inherits genes from both of their biological parents and these genes in turn express specific traits. Some of these traits may be physical for example hair and eye color and skin color etc. On the other hand some genes may also carry the risk of certain diseases and disorders that may pass on from parents to their offspring. Humans have long observed that traits tend to be similar in families. It wasn’t until the mid-nineteenth century that larger implications of genetic inheritance began to be studied scientifically.

Computer architecture is a specification detailing how a set of software and hardware technology standards interact to form a computer system or platform. In short, computer architecture refers to how a computer system is designed and what technologies it is compatible with. As with other contexts and meanings of the word architecture, computer architecture is likened to the art of determining the needs of the user/system/technology, and creating a logical design and standards based on those requirements. This in-cludes all hardware components in the system, including data processors aside from the CPU, such as the graphics processing unit and direct memory access. It also includes memory controllers, data paths and miscellaneous things like multiprocessing and virtualization.

Plants are vital to all life on earth. They convert light from the sun into energy we can eat, and even use for fuel. They also release the oxygen we breathe. Botanists study plants to try to understand how these processes work. Botany is the scientific study of plants. “Plants,” to most people, means a wide range of living organisms from the smallest bac-teria to the largest living things - the giant sequoia trees. Today scientists believe bacteria, algae and fungi are in their own distinct kingdoms, but most general botany courses, and most Botany Departments at colleges and universities, still teach about these groups. They may even study how genetic information in DNA controls plant development. This handbook provides a modern and comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of botany.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFPlant Breeding

Food coloring, or color additive, is any dye, pigment or substance that imparts color when it is added to food or drink. They come in many forms consisting of liquids, powders, gels, and pastes. Food coloring is used both in com-mercial food production and in domestic cooking. Food colors are prevalent in our daily life and are even in foods and drinks we wouldn’t expect. They are used to make the orange color of oranges brighter and more uniform, to create the brown hues in colas, and blue dye is added to marshmallows to make them, strangely. This process sets a safety limit for food additives to try and ensure no one would eat an unsafe level, even if they ate a large amount of foods containing the color over a lifetime. This illustrated work reviews the natural and synthetic colors available, their properties and applications, in addition to regulatory, sensory and logical issues.

Plant breeding is an applied branch of Botany, which deals with improvement of agricultural crops. This branch of agricultural science has contributed maximum to the increase in food production all over the world and therefore, now a day it assuming ever increasing importance in field of agriculture in every country.

ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFPlant Pathology

Because of the reliance of humans on plants for food, fibers and other resources, understanding plant diseases and their control is of vital importance to our survival. Plant disease epidemics can cause famines, eliminate a thriving industry or poison animals and humans. Plant diseases are the result of infection by other organisms that adversely affect the growth, physiological functioning and productivity of a plant, manifesting outwardly as visible symptoms. All species of plants, wild and cultivated alike, are subject to disease. Although each species is susceptible to characteristic diseases, these are, in each case, relatively few in number. The occurrence and prevalence of plant diseases vary from season to season, depending on the presence of the pathogen, environmental conditions, and the crops and varieties grown. Some plant varieties are particularly subject to outbreaks of diseases; others are more resistant to them. Parasitic organisms that cause disease are called pathogens. This illustrated work in plant pathology outlines how to recognize, treat, and prevent plant diseases.
