      Non-thermal Processing of Major Food Macromolecules provides comprehensive knowledge on state-of-the-art approaches utilized to process foods and/or modify their physicochemical structural – along with the technofunctional attributes of food macromolecules (i.e., protein, starch, lipids) – through novel non-thermal processing techniques. Sections explore the impact of non-thermal processing on proteins, starches, and on lipids and present the challenges for the food application of non-thermal processing treatments, thus suggesting how to push the food application of these architectures forward around the world.Edited by a team of experts in the field, this book is a great resource for researchers and industry personnel working in the various fields of non-thermal processing treatments, particularly in the food areas.

      Environmental Psychology and Human Well-Being: Effects of Built and Natural Settings, Second Edition provides an understanding on how mental and physical well-being is affected by physical environments, along with insights on how the design of environments might be improved to support better health outcomes. The book's uniqueness emphasizes the impact of particular kinds of environments on humans (e.g., cities, therapeutic landscapes, schools), and thus considers the environment as the driver of behavior rather than starting with human attitudes and values. In addition, the content reviews the history, discusses theoretical constructs, research and design, and provides up-to-date research survey findings.New content on the effects of the pandemic on work and educational settings (including remote options) as well as a new chapter on shelters in response to natural disasters is included.

      Encyclopedia of the Eye, Second Edition, Four Volume Set is an important resource for all visual scientists, ophthalmologists, and optometrists, as well as researchers in immunology, infectious disease, cell biology, neurobiology, and related disciplines. This four-volume reference is unique in its coverage of information on all tissues important for vision, including the retina, cornea, and lens. The book also covers the physiological and pathophysiologic processes that affect all eye tissues. Each chapter addresses one specific structure or process, reviews basic concepts, cross-references other chapters within the Encyclopedia, and provides citations of relevant primary publications.It is an invaluable resource for undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, medical students, and residents seeking an introduction to an area of eye research. It will be particularly useful for visual scientists and practitioners who are investigating a new area, seeking deeper understanding of important research articles in fields adjacent to their own, and/or reviewing a grant or manuscript outside their immediate area of expertise.

      Lung Cancer and Environmental Toxicants aims to explore the intricate relationship between lung cancer and environmental toxicants, shedding light on a hidden link that demands urgent attention. This groundbreaking book addresses a critical gap in the current literature by introducing a pioneering exploration of the interplay between lung cancer and environmental toxicants. Previous articles have not coalesced into a comprehensive examination of the complex connection between lung cancer development and the diverse array of environmental toxicants. This book delves into the latest scientific research and clinical findings to offer a clear way forward for healthcare workers to assess and treat lung cancer patients who may have been exposed to these substances. "Lung Cancer and Environmental Toxicants" provides a precise view of the impact of environmental toxicants on lung cancer, covering various aspects including epidemiology, molecular mechanisms, exposure pathways, and preventive measures. This unique and timely work will pave the way for a deeper understanding of the underexplored factors contributing to lung cancer incidence, offering novel insights into the role of various toxic substances in disease causation. This significant title will catalyze new avenues of research and awareness in the fields of oncology, environmental health, and public policy.

      Formation and Fate of Cell Organelles is a collection of papers that discusses the manner in which cellular structures arise from the component molecules, particularly on cytoplasmic inheritance, and the problem of spontaneous assembly. One paper describes the process how the phospholipid lecithin, assemble spontaneously into complex structures with great versatility when the lipid molecules are dispersed in an aqueous environment in vitro. Another paper discusses the resolution of the spindle fibers of the mitotic apparatus where the major protein in the apparatus is a 3.5 S particle, with a molecular weight of ca. 68,000. One paper investigates the degree of organization in the bacterial cell where inside the bacterial cell, the DNA act as its own method of compartmentation. Possibly, the DNA forms a coil which contains the mechanisms for the synthesis of the deoxy triphosphate into DNA. The coil leaves none of the mechanisms for the normal metabolism of the cell nor the mechanisms for the formation of RNA. Another paper examines cytoplasmic genes and organelle formation. The collection can prove valuable for bio-chemists, cellular biologists, micro-biologists, and developmental biologists.
