authenticity, traceability, food fraud, food quality, food
contaminants, sensory and nutritional analytics, and more.
Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a 'go-to' reference for
methods and applications of quantitative magnetic resonance
imaging, with specific sections on Relaxometry, Perfusion, and
Diffusion. Each section will start with an explanation of the basic
techniques for mapping the tissue property in question, including a
description of the challenges that arise when using these basic
approaches. For properties which can be measured in multiple ways,
each of these basic methods will be described in separate chapters.
Following the basics, a chapter in each section presents more
advanced and recently proposed techniques for quantitative tissue
property mapping, with a concluding chapter on clinical
applications. The reader will learn: The basic physics behind
tissue property mapping How to implement basic pulse sequences for
the quantitative measurement of tissue properties The strengths and
limitations to the basic and more rapid methods for mapping the
magnetic relaxation properties T1, T2, and T2* The pros and cons
for different approaches to mapping perfusion The methods of
Diffusion-weighted imaging and how this approach can be used to
generate diffusion tensor maps and more complex representations of
diffusion How flow, magneto-electric tissue property, fat fraction,
exchange, elastography, and temperature mapping are performed How
fast imaging approaches including parallel imaging, compressed
sensing, and Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting can be used to
accelerate or improve tissue property mapping schemes How tissue
property mapping is used clinically in different organs
'A striking memoir...A must-read for anyone healing from complex
trauma' Jeanette McCurdy, bestselling author of I'm Glad My Mom
Died Every cell in my body is filled with the code of generations
of trauma, of death, of birth, of migration, of history that I
cannot understand. . . . I want to have words for what my bones
know. By the age of thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper:
she had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This
American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door,
she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning.
After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was
diagnosed with complex PTSD - a condition that occurs when trauma
happens continuously, over the course of years. Both of Foo's
parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of
physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she'd moved on,
but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to
threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited
resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map
her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD. In this
deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews
scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative
therapies. She returns to her hometown in California to investigate
the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers
family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how
trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she
discovers that you don't move on from trauma - but you can learn to
move with it. Powerful, enlightening and hopeful, What My Bones
Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past
over the present, the mind over the body - and examines one woman's
ability to reclaim agency from her trauma.
Food Fraud: A Global Threat With Public Health and Economic
Consequences serves as a practical resource on the topic of food
fraud prevention and compliance with regulatory and industry
standards. It includes a brief overview of the history of food
fraud, current challenges, and vulnerabilities faced by the food
industry, and requirements for compliance with regulatory and
industry standards on mitigating vulnerability to food fraud, with
a focus on the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) Benchmarking
Requirements. The book also provides individual chapters dedicated
to specific commodities or sectors of the food industry known to be
affected by fraud, with a focus on specific vulnerabilities to
fraud, the main types of fraud committed, analytical methods for
detection, and strategies for mitigation. The book provides an
overview of food fraud mitigation strategies applicable to the food
industry and guidance on how to start the process of mitigating the
vulnerability to food fraud. The intended audience for this book
includes food industry members, food safety and quality assurance
practitioners, food science researchers and professors, students,
and members of regulatory agencies.
Drug Delivery Devices and Therapeutic Systems examines the current
technology and innovations moving drug delivery systems (DDS)
forward. The book provides an overview on the therapeutic use of
drug delivery devices, including design, applications, and a
description of the design of each device. While other books focus
on the therapy, the primary emphasis in this book is on current
technologies for DDS applications, including microfluidics,
nanotechnology, biodegradable hydrogel and microneedles, with a
special emphasis on wearable DDS. As part of the Developments in
Biomedical Engineering and Bioelectronics series, this book is
written by experts in the field and informed with information
directly from manufacturers. Pharmaceutical scientists, medical
researchers, biomedical engineers and clinical professionals will
find this an essential reference.
Approaches to the Purification, Analysis and Characterization of
Antibody-Based Therapeutics provides the interested and informed
reader with an overview of current approaches, strategies and
considerations relating to the purification, analytics and
characterization of therapeutic antibodies and related molecules.
While there are obviously other books published in and around this
subject area, they seem to be either older (c.a. year 2000
publication date) or are more limited in scope. The book will
include an extensive bibliography of the published literature in
the respective areas covered. It is not, however, intended to be a
how-to methods book.
