The approach to teaching the concepts of food processing to the undergrad­ uate food science major has evolved over the past 40 years. In most under­ graduate food science curricula, food processing has been taught on a commodity basis. In many programs, several courses dealt with processing with emphasis on a different commodity, such as fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meat products, and eggs. In most situations, the emphasis was on the unique characteristics of the commodity and very little empha­ sis on the common elements associated with processing of the different commodities. Quite often the undergraduate student was allowed to select one or two courses from those offered in order to satisfy the minimum standards suggested by the Institute of Food Technologists. The current 1FT minimum standards suggest that the undergradu­ ate food science major be required to complete at least one food processing course. The description of this course is as follows: One course with lecture and laboratory which covers general characteristics of raw food materials, principles offood preserva­ tion, processing factors that influence quality, packaging, water and waste management, and sanitation. Prerequisites: general chemistry, physics, and general microbiology.

Taurine 8 represents the combined efforts of investigators on the roles of the amino acid taurine on human health and disease. The chapters covered in this book are directly derived from presentations of the contributors at the 18th International Taurine Meeting held in Marrakech, Morocco in April 2012. The purpose of this book is to disseminate current findings on taurine's contribution in several organ systems. This book covers the following topics: Taurine in Nutrition and Metabolism, the Protective Role of Taurine, and the Role of Taurine in Reproduction, Development, and Differentiation. Dr. Abdeslem El Idrissi, College of Staten Island and Dr. William L’Amoreaux, College of Staten Island, were co-chairs of the Organizing Committee for the meeting. Data presented at this meeting provided compelling evidence that taurine is not only cytoprotective in cardiomyocytes, but also is a potent GABA agonist, whereby it can facilitate vasodilation of conducting arteries. Taurine conjugates, such as taurine chloramine, may protect cells from oxidative stress via increased HO-1 expression. In adult rodents, taurine has a potent effect on plasma glucose levels, likely through the release of insulin in pancreatic beta cells. As a potential neurotransmitter, taurine is known to work via the GABAergic system, but current research presented at this meeting suggest that taurine may interact with glutamate and serotonin receptors as well. Data are also presented to demonstrate the protective roles of taurine on neurons in neuroblastoma. Perhaps the most important and exciting presentation is the role of taurine and alcohol: the combination may be lethal. Data are also presented at this meeting of the potential role taurine may have as an adjuvant treatment with cisplatin in chemotherapy.

Einflüsse von Klängen auf Psyche und Körper des Menschen sind seit der Antike bekannt. In diesem Band werden sie in einem umfassenden System beschrieben und erklärt. Der Autor gibt Einblicke in Bau und Funktion des Gehirns und erweitert dadurch das Verständnis für dessen bewusste und unterbewusste Leistungen. Auf dieser Grundlage werden die komplexen Einflüsse der Musik auf den Menschen und seine Emotionen erklärt. Ein Schichten-Modell der Persönlichkeit zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, wie heilsame Wirkungen der Musik genutzt werden können. Das Buch wendet sich an Ärzte, Psychologen, Musiktherapeuten und Studierende in diesen Fachgebieten, darüber hinaus aber auch an interessierte Laien. Fußnoten erläutern unmittelbar die wissenschaftliche Fachterminologie und erleichtern so die Lektüre. Ein ausführliches Sachregister macht das Buch gleichzeitig zum Nachschlagewerk, und das Literaturverzeichnis bietet umfassende Hinweise auf weiterführende Literatur. Erscheinungsdatum: 05.11.2012

Roma, agosto 2010. In un vecchio palazzo senza ascensore, Ilaria sale con fatica i sei piani che la separano dal suo appartamento. Vorrebbe solo chiudersi in casa, dimenticare il traffico e l'afa, ma ad attenderla in cima trova una sorpresa: un ragazzo con la pelle nera e le gambe lunghe, che le mostra un passaporto. «Mi chiamo Shimeta Ietmgeta Attilaprofeti» le dice, «e tu sei mia zia.» All'inizio Ilaria pensa che sia uno scherzo. Di Attila Profeti lei ne conosce solo uno: è il soprannome di suo padre Attilio, un uomo che di segreti ne ha avuti sempre tanti, e che ora è troppo vecchio per rivelarli. Shimeta dice di essere il nipote di Attilio e della donna con cui è stato durante l'occupazione italiana in Etiopia. E se fosse la verità? È così che Ilaria comincia a dubitare: quante cose, di suo padre, deve ancora scoprire? Le risposte che cerca sono nel passato di tutti noi: di un'Italia che rimuove i ricordi per non affrontarli, che sopravvive sempre senza turbarsi mai, un Paese alla deriva diventato, suo malgrado, il centro dell'Europa delle grandi migrazioni. Con Sangue giusto Francesca Melandri si conferma un'autrice di rara forza e sensibilità. Il suo sguardo, attento e profondissimo, attraversa il Novecento e le sue contraddizioni per raccontare il cuore della nostra identità.

Angus Hamilton (1874-1913) was a British journalist who reported for a number of newspapers and journals between 1894 and 1912. Among the events he covered were the Boer War in South Africa, the Boxer uprising in China, and the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5. Like most books of this period, Afghanistan approaches its subject through the prism of the rivalry between Great Britain and Russia for influence in Central Asia, the so-called "Great Game." The book, more than 600 pages, is intended to be a "single comprehensive study of contemporary conditions" in Afghanistan and Central Asia. The first chapter is devoted to the Orenburg-Tashkent Railway (in present-day Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan) recently completed by the Russians. It is followed by chapters devoted to the khanates, provinces, and districts to the north of Afghanistan, notably Bukhara, Tashkent, Samarkand, and Merv, territories located in present-day Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Subsequent chapters cover Herat, Kandahar, Seistan (Sistan), and Kabul. Hamilton also devotes separate chapters to the provinces and ethnic groups in the country; administration, law, and revenue; trade and industry; and the army. The author devotes the last two chapters to the tenuous Anglo-Afghan relations, especially the border zone with India, as well as Russian influence on Kabul. He has high praise for Abd al-Rahman Khan, ruler of Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901, for his work to modernize his country, but concludes that he "failed to bequeath to his son any portion of his own singular abilities." His son and successor was Habibullah Khan (reigned 1901-19). Presented here is the first edition of the book, published in London in 1906. It is illustrated with 145 photographs depicting British and Afghan officials, ordinary Afghans, monuments, land features, and palaces. A long list of appendices provides explanatory and supporting materials. A second, shorter edition of the book, also presented in World Digital Library, was published in Boston and Tokyo in 1910.
