Fastenings to Concrete and Masonry Structures
Modern fastening techniques are increasingly being used to transfer loads into concrete and masonry structures. This book aims to compile and compare research on the behaviour of fastening systems. It also proposes an approach to the design of fastenings based on empirical and theoretical models.
Textbook of Addiction Treatment
Addiction is increasingly being recognized as a major global public health issue, and an ever-growing number of medical specialties, psychological and social science training programs, and professional associations are including addiction as part of their training and continuing education curricula. The first edition of this book presented an overview of the spectrum of addiction-related problems across different cultures around the globe. Sharing the experience and wisdom of more than 260 leading experts in the field, and promoted by the International Society of Addiction Medicine, it compared and contrasted clinical practices in the field of addiction medicine on the basis of neurobiologic...
Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity
From a public health perspective, alcohol is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality, and impacts on many aspects of social life. This text describes advances in alcohol research with direct relevance to the development of effective policies at local, national and international level.
Bioreactor System Design
Describes the state-of-the-art techniques and methods involved in the design, operation, preparation and containment of bioreactor systems, taking into account the interrelated effects of variables associated with both upstream and downstream stages of the design process. The importance of the initial steps in the development of a bioprocess, such as strain and media selection, that have an overwhelming influence on all further operations, is emphasized.;This work is intended for biochemical, chemical and bioprocess engineers; biotechnologists; industrial biochemists; micro- and molecular biologists; food scientists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

Comparative Quantification of Health Risks: Sexual and reproductive health
Provides a comprehensive assessment of the scientific evidence on prevalence and the resulting health effects of a range of exposures that are know to be hazardous to human health, including childhood and maternal undernutrition, nutritional and physiological risk factors for adult health, addictive substances, sexual and reproductive health risks, and risks in the physical environments of households and communities, as well as among workers. This book is the culmination of over four years of scientific equiry and data collection, know as the comparative risk assessment (CRA) project.
Novel Processes and Control Technologies in the Food Industry
The proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Kemer, Turkey in September 2000. The 13 contributions emphasize recent research and developments on non thermal technologies, use of bacteriocins, rapid methods for detection of microorganisms, smart packaging, protein structuring, use of biosensors and new extrusion processes for preservation, processing, modification, and control of food quality. Topics include a review of improved and nontraditional methods for detecting microorganisms, including automated conventional techniques, optical counting methods, and biochemical, electrometric, immunological, and molecular techniques; the use of genetically engineered Lactococcus lactis to treat inflammatory bowel disease; and Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) processing as an energy-efficient means of inactivating microorganisms. c.
