This book discusses the design of new space missions and their use
for a better understanding of the dynamical behaviour of solar
system bodies, which is an active field of astrodynamics. Space
missions gather data and observations that enable new breakthroughs
in our understanding of the origin, evolution and future of our
solar system and Earth's place within it. Covering topics such as
satellite and space mission dynamics, celestial mechanics,
spacecraft navigation, space exploration applications, artificial
satellites, space debris, minor bodies, and tidal evolution, the
book presents a collection of contributions given by
internationally respected scientists at the summer school
"Satellite Dynamics and Space Missions: Theory and Applications of
Celestial Mechanics", held in 2017 at San Martino al Cimino,
Viterbo (Italy). This school aimed to teach the latest theories,
tools and methods developed for satellite dynamics and space, and
as such the book is a valuable resource for graduate students and
researchers in the field of celestial mechanics and aerospace
engineering.
Bioactive Food Components Activity in Mechanistic Approach presents
the role of functional foods and bioactive compounds in
inflammation. This book focuses on bioactive compounds, including
phenolics, prebiotics, carotenoids, tocopherols, bioactive
peptides, probiotics, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty
acids, and describes their actions in several diseases, mainly
obesity and co-morbidities, inflammatory bowel disease, cognitive
decline and cancer, and aging. Intended for food, nutrition, and
nutraceutical researchers, as well as those studying related
fields, the book offers a mechanistic approach that is currently
lacking in the market.
Observation, Prediction and Simulation of Phase Transitions in
Complex Fluids presents an overview of the phase transitions that
occur in a variety of soft-matter systems: colloidal suspensions of
spherical or rod-like particles and their mixtures, directed
polymers and polymer blends, colloid--polymer mixtures, and
liquid-forming mesogens. This modern and fascinating branch of
condensed matter physics is presented from three complementary
viewpoints. The first section, written by experimentalists,
emphasises the observation of basic phenomena (by light scattering,
for example). The second section, written by theoreticians, focuses
on the necessary theoretical tools (density functional theory, path
integrals, free energy expansions). The third section is devoted to
the results of modern simulation techniques (Gibbs ensemble, free
energy calculations, configurational bias Monte Carlo). The
interplay between the disciplines is clearly illustrated. For all
those interested in modern research in equilibrium statistical
mechanics.
This book provides comprehensive knowledge and a detailed step by
step description of experimental protocols for the determination of
food intake, body weight changes, and some metabolic markers.
Chapters are split into two parts detailing experimental diets,
monitor food intake, weight gain, evaluate biological samples,
predict physiological changes, evaluate bioavailability of
bioactive, anamnesis, measure the metabolic rate, assessing the
body composition, assessing glucose homeostasis, and monitoring the
metabolomic pathways. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Basic
Protocols in Foods and Nutrition aims to be a foundation for future
studies and to be a source of inspiration for new investigations in
the field.
This is a textbook which gradually introduces the student to the
statistical mechanical study of the different phases of matter and
to the phase transitions between them. Throughout, only simple
models of both ordinary and soft matter are used but these are
studied in full detail. The subject is developed in a pedagogical
manner, starting from the basics, going from the simple ideal
systems to the interacting systems, and ending with the more modern
topics. The textbook provides the student with a complete overview,
intentionally at an introductory level, of the theory of phase
transitions. All equations and deductions are included.

Mina is worried about starting a new kindergarten in her new
country. The classroom is full of laughter, friendly faces and fun
things to do, but the only word Mina can understand is her name. As
she listens to stories and songs, chatter and instructions, Mina's
understanding steadily grows. She tries out sounds that roar in her
throat and tickle her tongue until the new words feel like her own.
Then one day, Mina realises that this language now belongs to her,
and she belongs to this new world. And she's ready to welcome
others in. Mina Belongs Here is a heartfelt and uplifting story of
a migrant experience and discovering a sense of belonging through
shared words. The expressive and lively illustrations begin in
muted monochrome, slowly transforming to vibrant colour as Mina's
understanding grows.
