This application-oriented monograph focuses on a novel and
complex type of control systems. Written on an engineering level,
including fundamentals, advanced methods and applications, the book
applies techniques originating from new methods such as artificial
intelligence, fuzzy logic, neural networks etc.
The Europiiische Akademie is concerned with the study of scientific
and technolog ical advances for the individual, society and the
natural environment. The work of the academy is interdisciplinary
drawing on relevant academic disciplines so far as they can inform
the debate on consequences and suggest solutions. This book is
dedicated to the issue of Functional Foods, a rather topical issue
with important ramifications for the overall quality of life. It is
the result of the Europiiische Akademie's working group "Functional
Foods" which worked from January 2001 to June 2003. Since the times
of Hippocrates, we view "food as our medicine, and medicine as our
food"; a view that is confirmed by nowadays science which agrees
that diet is related to health, well-being and the prevention of
disease. At the same time, food related diseases have reached
epidemic proportions in western societies while obe sity is
spreading rapidly in all parts and strata of modern society. The
cost for the health system is significant while the reduction in
quality of life is immeasurable."
A problem-solving manual for those who manage boilers and/or

In these years of constant growth and further development for our
company, research and development has become more and more
important, and has allowed us to be at the forefront in our
business sector, where innovation is the obvious and decisive
factor. It has therefore been consistent with our everyday business
philosophy to involve ourselves deeply in writing and printing this
handbook, which is designed to recognize the capacity and hard work
of all employees working successfully in the Bonfiglioli Group. The
book is intended to be a concrete contribution by Bonfiglioli
Riduttori S.p.A. to the development and application of power
transmissions. The book is addressed to all who have technical
dealings with power transmissions, from university students to
engineers active in the workplace. For this reason we have invited
the cooperation of four prestigious professionals - Darle W.
Dudley, Jacques Sprengers, Dierk SchrOder, and Hajime Yamashina -
in the knowledge that only through the cooperation of the leading
specialists in the field of power transmissions could we develop a
truly useful and helpful handbook. It has been hard work, but we
are sure the reader's appreciation will amply reward our efforts.

Providing an indispensable resource for undergraduate students,
graduate students, and policymakers interested in the prescription
drug abuse crisis in the United States, this book summarizes the
current state of prescription drug abuse and its growth over the
past 20 years. The Prescription Drug Problem analyzes the growth of
the prescription drug abuse problem from 1994 to 2014 and includes
comparisons to marijuana and hard drug use during the same period.
Specific attention is given to prescription opiate abuse and the
transition from prescription opiates to heroin. The book begins
with a broad overview of the prescription drug problem in the U.S.,
while the text presents stories of celebrities who have struggled
with prescription drug abuse, highlights a handful of ordinary
Americans who are battling prescription drug abuse, and examines as
case studies a few communities that have been ravaged by
prescription drug abuse. Drawing upon demographic patterns of abuse
to identify causes of and factors contributing to prescription drug
abuse as well as possible solutions to the problem, the book is
designed to provide a broad overview of the prescription drug abuse
problem in the U.S. and stimulate additional research.
Why Captain Ahab is worthy of our fear-and our compassion Herman
Melville's Captain Ahab is perennially seen as the paradigm of a
controlling, tyrannical agent. Ahab Unbound leaves his position as
a Cold War icon behind, recasting him as a contingent figure,
transformed by his environment-by chemistry, electromagnetism,
entomology, meteorology, diet, illness, pain, trauma, and neurons
firing-in ways that unexpectedly force us to see him as worthy of
our empathy and our compassion. In sixteen essays by leading
scholars, Ahab Unbound advances an urgent inquiry into Melville's
emergence as a center of gravity for materialist work, reframing
his infamous whaling captain in terms of pressing conversations in
animal studies, critical race and ethnic studies, disability
studies, environmental humanities, medical humanities, political
theory, and posthumanism. By taking Ahab as a focal point, we
gather and give shape to the multitude of ways that materialism
produces criticism in our current moment. Collectively, these
readings challenge our thinking about the boundaries of both
persons and nations, along with the racist and environmental
violence caused by categories like the person and the human. Ahab
Unbound makes a compelling case for both the vitality of
materialist inquiry and the continued resonance of Melville's work.

Revision spine surgery requires a unique skill set different from
performing a primary operation. Understanding when a simple
revision is sufficient, when a more complex approach is needed, or
when a non-surgical option should be considered is critical to good
patient care and outcomes. In this first book to focus exclusively
on the complex topic of revision spine surgery, world-renowned Dr.
Alex Vaccaro and leading neuro and orthopaedic spine surgeons,
navigate physicians through the initial evaluative process and the
potential pitfalls and complications encountered in revision
surgery.

Steven D. Schoeder's second full-length collection of poetry
examines theft, lies, and other transgressions, loosely tied to
themes of family, employment, money, relationships, aging, and the
state of the nation.
Schroeder is a graduate of the University of Arkansas and the
University of Central Arkansas-she holds degrees in speech
communication, drama, English and has also earned a teaching
certificate. These poems came out of her experiences as an Army

While the totality of God is beyond our comprehension, certain
aspects of Him ARE knowable. When He planted His own image within
each of us, He gave us a glimpse into His true and full nature that
would serve as our guide and source of energy as we go through
life. It's His intent, as a loving Father, to bring us all back
into His Kingdom, to return to Eden, to reclaim the spiritual
heritage He meant us to have. To do this, we dissolve the barriers
that grow between us - to tame the serpent ego. Only then can each
of us become the person He meant us to be, serving Him in our own
unique way, a way that no one else on earth could ever do.
Children's Sermons for the Revised Common Lectionary: Using the
Five Senses to Tell God's Story offers pastors and children's
worship leaders a multisensory way of presenting sermon experiences
for children on Sunday morning. By using the five senses (taste,
touch, smell, sight, and hearing), Philip D. Schroeder enables the
youngest members of the congregation to fully participate in, and
experience, the word of God. Each of the three volumes in this
series follows the Revised Common Lectionary, and features 52
children's sermons, a selected scripture text and a worship
experience highlighting one or more of the senses for each Sunday
of the lectionary year, and activities for helping worship leaders
gain a child's perspective of the scripture. By using Children's
Sermons for the Revised Common Lectionary, sermon and worship
preparation is made easier, and the children's sermon becomes a
vital part of Sunday morning worship for all members of the
congregational family.

This leader's guide to Unfailing Love will assist you in your role
as a Sisters small-group leader. It outlines the Sisters program,
which is very simple: after an initial gathering meeting with a
brief introductory video segment, the women in your group will read
and reflect each day for the following six weeks. Once a week, you
will come together for 60 90 minutes. You will view a video
presentation by Rebecca Laird, followed by a Sisters group
discussion that Rebecca leads. Then it is your turn to facilitate
the discussion in your own Sisters group. Step-by-step instructions
are here as well as questions and suggestions to help you and your
group connect what you have seen, read, and reflected on during the
previous week. You will be able to relax and participate fully as a
member of your Sisters group.
