Epidemiological studies have estimated that approximately 35 percent of cancers are potentially avoidable by nutritional modification. These modifications include strategies such as caloric restriction and limitation of specific macro-nutrient groups. However, recent research indicates that what you eat may well be just as important as what...
...An excellent overview of our understanding of the chemistry and metabolism of all of the known vitamins. Each is discussed in depth and detail by knowledgeable scientists. ...An excellent reference for the personal collection and for libraries.

This second edition of Pharmaceutical Project Management is published one
decade after the first edition. What has changed over the past decade in drug
development? Actually, a lot. The move to outsourcing has intensified and the
successful management of relationships between sponsor and contractor is recognized
to be a...
Sooner or later, power system protection is going to cost money. How much is entirely up to you. Setting up a safe and effective AC power system from the very beginning can help avoid costly downtime and repairs, provide backup power during system outages, and minimize workplace accidents. For the past 15 years, Jerry Whitaker's AC Power Systems...
Containment and permeable reactive barriers have come full circle as an acceptable environmental control technology during the past 30 years. As interest shifted back toward containment in the 1990s, the industry found itself relying largely on pre-1980s technology. Fortunately, in the past 10 years important advances have occurred in several...
In thinking about a contribution we could make to the modern practice of medicine that
had not yet been achieved by others, we remembered what constituted the complete
physician at the time of Sir William Osler: A working knowledge of multiple disciplines
and of disease processes that affect many organ systems. This was perhaps...

As in many other fields, biomedical engineers benefit from the use of computational intelligence (CI) tools to solve complex and non-linear problems. The benefits could be even greater if there were scientific literature that specifically focused on the biomedical applications of computational intelligence techniques. The first comprehensive...
Understanding phytochemical–gene interactions provides the basis for individualized therapies to promote health as well as prevent and treat disease. The authors of Phytochemicals: Nutrient–Gene Interactions examine the interactions between phytochemicals and the human genome and discuss the impact these interactions have...
Use of multiple antennas at both ends of wireless links is the result of the natural progression of more than four decades of evolution of adaptive antenna technology. Recent advances have demonstrated that multipleinput-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems can achieve impressive increases in overall system performance. The potential to provide...
