Rebellion erupts on the "paradise" planet of Elysia, plunging the
colony into chaos. In response, the all-powerful United Earth
dispatches its elite corps of cyborg soldiers, led by Aaron "The
Berber" Barber. For a hero celebrated galaxy-wide for his acts of
bravery against alien hordes, a ragtag group of colonists with
antiquated weapons should be no challenge. But Barber and his
soldiers are unprepared to meet the most dangerous enemy
yet--humans just like them.
NSCA’s Guide to Sport and Exercise Nutrition, Second Edition,
presents valuable foundational information on the effects that
nutrition has on performance, health, and body composition. Whether
you work with fitness enthusiasts or competitive athletes, this
resource will help you understand and apply scientific findings so
that you can assess an individual’s nutrition status and—if it
falls within your scope of practice—develop customized nutrition
plans. Developed by the National Strength and Conditioning
Association (NSCA) with contributions from 13 experts in the areas
of nutrition and human performance, and subjected to an intensive
peer-review process, this authoritative resource covers all aspects
of food selection, digestion, metabolism, and hydration relevant to
sport and exercise performance. This second edition brings several
contemporary sport nutrition issues to the forefront, including
recent developments in relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S),
research related to carbohydrate mouth rinsing, the role of popular
dietary supplements, preworkout supplements, and the use of protein
and amino acids in improving aerobic endurance, strength, and
power. Examine the topic of energy balance and the implications of
undereating and overeating. Learn to use popular software and
smartphone apps to assess nutrition status. Understand what
macronutrients are and how they are metabolized, stored, and
oxidized for energy. Use science-based recommendations for using
macronutrients, micronutrients, and hydration to improve aerobic,
anaerobic, and strength-based performance. Finally, use
cutting-edge findings on nutrient timing based on the type,
intensity, and duration of activity to help you understand how to
recommend the correct nutrients at the ideal time to achieve
optimal performance results. NSCA’s Guide to Sport and Exercise
Nutrition includes professional application sections to draw the
connection between research and its practical implementation.
Sidebars emphasize important topics, and reproducible forms (a food
log, brief nutrition assessment, and goal-setting questionnaire)
can be copied and shared. A running glossary keeps key terms at
your fingertips, and extensive references within the text offer
starting points for your continued study and professional
enrichment. Each client and athlete can benefit from a customized
diet tailored to the frequency, intensity, duration, and
specificity of their training and demands of the sport or activity.
With NSCA’s Guide to Sport and Exercise Nutrition, you will get
an in-depth understanding of how food and sport supplements can
enhance exercise and sport performance for optimal training,
competition, and recovery. Earn continuing education credits/units!
A continuing education course and exam that uses this book is also
available. It may be purchased separately or as part of a package
that includes all the course materials and exam.
Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond is a groundbreaking
speculative fiction anthology that showcases the work from some of
the most talented writers inside and outside speculative fiction
across the globe-including Junot Diaz, Victor LaValle, Lauren
Beukes, N. K. Jemisin, Rabih Alameddine, S. P. Somtow, and more.
These authors have earned such literary honors as the Pulitzer
Prize, the American Book Award, the World Fantasy Award, and the
Bram Stoker, among others.
With the constant flow of information related to sports nutrition
coming from scholarly journals, it is difficult to sift through it
all and determine what is relevant. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing
Athletic Performance helps in this endeavor, with more than 1,000
references from top academic journals, offering critical knowledge
concerning nutrient ingestion for enhancing exercise and sports
performance. This book offers a clear focus on scientifically based
sports nutrition advice to maximize performance. It also addresses
exercise metabolism, which governs how nutrients exert physiologic
effects that lead to increased athletic potential. The book
examines the three key macronutrients: fat, carbohydrate, and
protein. It discusses various aspects of macronutrient metabolism,
including differences between a body at rest and during
high-intensity exercise. Topics covered in the text include the
following: Nutrient timing Leucine threshold to optimize muscle
protein synthesis Carbohydrate manipulations for better endurance-
and resistance-exercise performance Dietary fat intake
recommendations for improving performance Carbohydrate loading
strategies Optimal amounts of protein to ingest on a meal-by-meal
basis Pre-exercise dietary fat intake strategies Comparison of
high-quality proteins In addition to enhancing performance, the
book describes how to improve body composition, presenting a
scientifically based strategy for losing body fat while maintaining
precious lean muscle mass. Four principles of fat loss are set
forth that are integral for success in optimizing body composition.
This book presents both performance nutrition principles and
exercise biochemistry, addressing the key questions of what, when,
and how much to ingest for improved performance and training
recovery.
Immersing students in Java and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM),
Introduction to Compiler Construction in a Java World enables a
deep understanding of the Java programming language and its
implementation. The text focuses on design, organization, and
testing, helping students learn good software engineering skills
and become better programmers.
The book covers all of the standard compiler topics, including
lexical analysis, parsing, abstract syntax trees, semantic
analysis, code generation, and register allocation. The authors
also demonstrate how JVM code can be translated to a register
machine, specifically the MIPS architecture. In addition, they
discuss recent strategies, such as just-in-time compiling and
hotspot compiling, and present an overview of leading commercial
compilers. Each chapter includes a mix of written exercises and
programming projects.
By working with and extending a real, functional compiler,
students develop a hands-on appreciation of how compilers work, how
to write compilers, and how the Java language behaves. They also
get invaluable practice working with a non-trivial Java program of
more than 30,000 lines of code. Fully documented Java code for the
compiler is accessible at http: //www.cs.umb.edu/j--/
