  • Cereal Production

    Proceedings of the Second International Summer School in Agriculture Held by the Royal Dublin Society in Cooperation with W K Kellogg Foundation
    • 1st Edition
    • E. J. Gallagher
    • English
    Cereal Production documents the proceedings of the Second International Summer School in Agriculture held by the Royal Dublin Society in July 1982. This book relates individual disciplines to the central concept in cereal production, which is the optimization of yield and quality and maximization of net return. This compilation also emphasizes the ultimate aim of cereal enterprises—the economic production of grain of acceptable quality that can be traded internationally to the benefit of the people of all nations. The topics include the breeding approaches for increasing cereal crop yields, assessment of barley quality, and functional aspects of cereal structure. The soil categorization for cereal production and wheat production systems in arid and semi-arid regions are likewise deliberated. This publication is intended for cereal scientists and researchers aiming to acquire knowledge of cereal production.

  • The Fabrication of Materials

    Materials Technology
    • 1st Edition
    • J. G. Tweeddale
    • English
    Materials Technology, Volume 2: The Fabrication of Materials deals with the processes of materials fabrication. This book focuses on systems used to transform raw materials into shaped states suitable for practical service. Principles of manufacture are discussed, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each method of fabrication and the diverse manufacturing sequences that are possible. The administrative aspects of manufacture are also considered. This volume is comprised of eight chapters and begins by introducing the reader to casting methods, including solidification casting, gravity-flow mold-filling, and pressurized mold-filling. Emphasis is placed on how materials that are reduced to a liquid state and then solidified can be prepared for service or formed to a useful shape. The chapters that follow explore powder preparation, mixing, compacting, and consolidation; mechanical means of fabrication; fabrication by bonding and machining; and the role of inventors and designers in fabrication. This volume concludes by assessing the economic aspects of fabrication, with particular reference to essential needs, conveniences, and luxuries. This book will be useful to first-year university undergraduates in engineering technician courses and more specialized technician courses.

  • Rational Techniques in Policy Analysis

    Policy Studies Institute
    • 1st Edition
    • Michael Carley
    • English
    Rational Techniques in Policy Analysis covers the role of rational techniques in policy making process. This book is organized into two parts encompassing 12 chapters that consider the relationship of policy making and other approaches to rational analysis. Part I deals with the "disintegration" of rational policy analysis to find out what the pieces are, how they work, how the parts interact and how they relate to the wider policy making environment. Part II considers the types of rational analysis in more detail, and serves not only as a survey of rational techniques but as an introduction to the important literature in each field. This part specifically looks into the cost-utility techniques, social forecasting, and evaluation and social indicator research. This book is intended primarily for analysts, researchers, and students of the policy making process in university and government.

  • Peptic Ulcer

    A New Approach to Its Causation, Prevention, and Arrest, Based on Human Evolution
    • 1st Edition
    • T. L. Cleave
    • English
    Peptic Ulcer: A New Approach to its Causation, Prevention, and Arrest, Based on Human Evolution focuses on the argument that the interference with the natural buffering of gastric acid by the food through the removal of protein in the refining of carbohydrates is the primary cause of peptic ulcer. The book first offers information on the law of adaptation and the role of hydrochloric acid in the production of peptic ulcer and the law of adaptation and the role of stress in the production of peptic ulcer. The text then elaborates on protein-stripping in carbohydrate foods as the fundamental cause of peptic ulcer. The publication takes look at racial incidence of peptic ulcer and explanation of the difference in the incidence of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. The publication also underscores the disregard of appetite as an aggravating factor in the production of peptic ulcer, heredity and peptic ulcer, and application of the argument to the prevention and arrest of peptic ulcer. The manuscript is a dependable reference for readers interested in the study of causation, prevention, and arrest of peptic ulcer.

  • A Physiological Approach to Clinical Neurology

    • 1st Edition
    • James W. Lance
    • English
    A Physiological Approach to Clinical Neurology deals with the mechanism of various neurological symptoms and signs in terms of disordered physiology. Topics covered by this book include pain and other sensations; weakness; the tendon jerk and the stretch reflex; and disordered control of motor neurons. The disorders of basal ganglia and cerebellum are also considered, along with consciousness and unconsciousness; the mechanism of epilepsy; and the relationship between brain and mind. This book is comprised of 11 chapters and begins by introducing the reader to the clinical analysis of sensory and motor disorders. The discussion then turns to the perception of pain and other kinds of sensation; the clinical approach to the problem of weakness; and the clinical significance of the tendon jerk. In the chapters that follow, appraisal of a neurophysiological thought is applied to common neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, hemiballismus, epilepsy, and developmental anomalies like platybasia. The last chapter explores the phenomena of mind and its connection to the brain as well as its influence on the body, paying particular attention to perception, memory, and emotion. This monograph is intended for those who are proceeding into the clinical years of a medical course, to those who are studying for senior qualifications in internal medicine or neurology, and to those who are merely curious about the cause of neurological phenomena that they observe daily in their patients.
