The Encyclopedia of Animal Nutrition covers animal nutrition across
a wide range of disciplines, including physiology, biochemistry,
veterinary medicine and feed technology. Through approximately 3000
entries ranging from short definitions to more discursive articles,
it discusses and illuminates on all aspects of this important
topic. The book: - Covers every type of animal managed in
developing and developed countries, from livestock and companion
animals to those commonly found in laboratories and zoos; - Expands
usual definitions of livestock to include farmed invertebrates such
as honey bees and prawns, and animals of localized significance
such as yaks, snakes, crocodiles, and asses; - Addresses important
societal topics in relation to nutrition, including welfare,
environmental pollution, disease, resource use, and animal product
quality. Written by a global team of contributors and expert
section editors, this book is an important resource for
researchers, students and advisers of animal nutrition, as well as
anyone interested in agriculture, veterinary science, zoology,
physiology, equine science, and animal behavior.
Advances in nanoscale science show that the properties of many
materials are dominated by internal structures. In molecular cases,
such as window glass and proteins, these internal structures
obviously have a network character. However, in many partly
disordered electronic materials, almost all attempts at
understanding are based on traditional continuum models. This
workshop focuses first on the phase diagrams and phase transitions
of materials known to be composed of molecular networks. These
phase properties characteristically contain remarkable features,
such as intermediate phases that lead to reversibility windows in
glass transitions as functions of composition. These features arise
as a result of self-organization of the internal structures of the
intermediate phases. In the protein case, this self-organization is
the basis for protein folding. The second focus is on partly
disordered electronic materials whose phase properties exhibit the
same remarkable features. In fact, the phenomenon of High
Temperature Superconductivity, discovered by Bednorz and Mueller in
1986, and now the subject of 75,000 research papers, also arises
from such an intermediate phase. More recently discovered
electronic phenomena, such as giant magnetoresistance, also are
made possible only by the existence of such special phases. This
book gives an overview of the methods and results obtained so far
by studying the characteristics and properties of nanoscale
self-organized networks. It demonstrates the universality of the
network approach over a range of disciplines, from protein folding
to the newest electronic materials.
