A complete resource on the use and handling of seafood products across the globe, this comprehensive handbook provides a full overview of the tools now available for the analysis of captured fresh and preserved seafood, either cultivated or wild, as well as for derived products. The text describes a broad range of techniques and methodologies for quality assurance, as well as drying curing, and processing. It offers up a series of chapters on ...

Although guidance documents exist that deal with aquatic exposure or effect assessments of pesticides, the interaction between these fields of expertise has received relatively little attention within these documents. This insightful work provides the context through which to evaluate these two previously isolated datasets and thereby improve regulatory guidance on the aquatic risk assessment for pesticides. Addressing the shortcomings of curr...

Integrating the concepts of fluid flow, unit operations, and physical chemistry, this book addresses the engineering aspects of dairy products manufacturing. The text discusses food safety and preservation as well as packaging and quality control. Case studies involving the processing of milk and milk-based products such as bovine whey, casein, whey protein, lactose, and salts are used to illustrate the production chain and to highlight applic...

In 1900, Billingham was a rural community with a history going back over 1, 000 years. This collection of over 200 archive photographs celebrates more than a century of history: beginning in the very earliest days of photography, it moves from the country lanes and farms of the 1920s to the factories and industries.

Fuel cells are an important enabling technology for the hydrogen economy and have the potential to revolutionize the way we power our world. However, many challenges must be overcome before fuel cell systems become a competitive alternative for consumers. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Materials, Properties, and Performance examines the issues and recent progress on key materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) in light o...

This book presents the design of computer arithmetic circuits for four arithmetic operations using three number representations. The circuits are designed using algorithms or traditional design techniques and implemented using Verilog hardware description language (HDL) in the SILOS simulation environment. For each design method, the text illustrates the underling theory, examples of use, organization of the arithmetic function, logic design o...

Model predictive control (MPC) differs from other control methods mainly in its implementation of a control action. Usually, MPC solves a finite-horizon optimal control problem at each sampling instant, so that the control actions for the current and a period of future time are obtained. However, only the current control move is applied to the plant. This work explains the how this useful model permits the flexibility of acting while optimizin...

Proceedings of a Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) European workshop that took place in Leipzig, Germany, September 9 to 12, 2007."--P. xvii.

Ubiquitous multimedia computing (ubi-media computing) brings together technologies for location/context adaptation, interdevice interaction/reaction, and media/data communication. One of the first to look at ubiquitous computing as applied to multimedia, this volume discusses the fundamental technologies and potential research in this cutting-edge area. It covers ubi-media computing from three levels: infrastructure, where fundamental technolo...
