Recently there has been increased interest in the development of
computer-aided design programs to support the system level designer
of integrated circuits more actively. Such design tools hold the
promise of raising the level of abstraction at which an integrated
circuit is designed, thus releasing the current designers from many
of the details of logic and circuit level design. The promise
further suggests that a whole new group of designers in neighboring
engineering and science disciplines, with far less understanding of
integrated circuit design, will also be able to increase their
productivity and the functionality of the systems they design. This
promise has been made repeatedly as each new higher level of
computer-aided design tool is introduced and has repeatedly fallen
short of fulfillment. This book presents the results of research
aimed at introducing yet higher levels of design tools that will
inch the integrated circuit design community closer to the
fulfillment of that promise. 1. 1. SYNTHESIS OF INTEGRATED CmCUITS
In the integrated circuit (Ie) design process, a behavior that
meets certain specifications is conceived for a system, the
behavior is used to produce a design in terms of a set of
structural logic elements, and these logic elements are mapped onto
physical units. The design process is impacted by a set of
constraints as well as technological information (i. e. the logic
elements and physical units used for the design).
This useful book reviews and analyzes the rigorous scientific,
regulatory, and clinical testing and evaluation applied to the
widely used food additive aspartame. In one compact volume you gain
access to extensive information illustrating the increased
recognition by regulatory agencies of the usefulness of human
studies in evaluating new food additives. The Clinical Evaluation
of a Food Additive: Assessment of Aspartame begins by describing
the nuts and bolts of food additive safety evaluation in humans,
including an insightful historical perspective of the development
of good clinical practice guidelines. It provides the regulatory
requirements for human research, as well as key elements for the
design and conduct of human studies. The scientific and regulatory
considerations of food additive safety are explored, including
interesting descriptions of aspartame's key animal safety studies.
In addition, the book reviews the medical postmarketing
surveillance system developed for identifying and evaluating
reports of aspartame's alleged adverse health effects. Through
meticulous research and systematic clarity, The Clinical Evaluation
of a Food Additive: Assessment of Aspartame provides work-saving,
state-of-the-art examples to guide future testing and evaluation of
tomorrow's food additives.
On August 19, 1958, Clara Luper and thirteen Black youth walked
into Katz Drug Store in Oklahoma City and sat down at the lunch
counter. When they tried to order, they were denied service. As
they sat in silence, refusing to leave, the surrounding white
customers unleashed a torrent of threats and racial slurs. This
first organized sit-in in Oklahoma—almost two years before the
more famous sit-ins in Greensboro, North Carolina—sparked other
demonstrations in Oklahoma and other states. Behold the Walls is
Luper’s engrossing firsthand account of how the movement she
helped launch ended legal racial segregation. First published in
1979, Behold the Walls now features a new introduction and 33 newly
selected historical photos. Luper’s direct, unvarnished account
captures the immediacy of the events she witnessed. As a Black
woman, Luper refused to let either her race or her gender deter her
from stepping forth as a leader. Born in 1923, Clara Luper taught
history in Oklahoma public schools and led the NAACP Youth Council.
The students who sat in at Katz Drug and other businesses belonged
to that organization. Luper highlights the contributions of others,
especially young people, in breaking down the walls of segregation
in Oklahoma through numerous demonstrations, marches, and voter
registration campaigns. This commemorative edition of Luper’s
eye-opening autobiography, published near what would have been her
100th birthday, as well as the 65th anniversary of the sit-ins,
offers invaluable insight into the history of protest in the early
years of the civil rights movement. With racial inequality still at
the forefront of national debate, Behold the Walls places Luper’s
efforts in the larger national context of the struggle to resist
injustice and inspire positive change.

Nutritional oncology is an increasingly active interdisciplinary
field where cancer is investigated as both a systemic and local
disease originating with the changes in the genome and progressing
through a multi-step process which may be influenced at many points
in its natural history by nutritional factors that could impact the
prevention of cancer, the quality of life of cancer patients, and
the risk of cancer recurrence in the rapidly increasing population
of cancer survivors.
Since the first edition of this book was published in 1999, the
idea that there is a single gene pathway or single drug will
provide a cure for cancer has given way to the general view that
dietary/environmental factors impact the progression of genetic and
cellular changes in common forms of cancer. This broad concept can
now be investigated within a basic and clinical research context
for specific types of cancer. This book attempts to cover the
current available knowledge in this new field of nutritional
oncology written by invited experts. This book attempts to provide
not only the theoretical and research basis for nutritional
oncology, but will offer the medical oncologist and other members
of multidisciplinary groups treating cancer patients practical
information on nutrition assessment and nutritional regimens,
including micronutrient and phytochemical supplementation. The
editors hope that this volume will stimulate increased research,
education and patient application of the principles of nutritional
oncology.

This volume explores basic and advanced aspects of our
understanding of and current treatment for obesity. Contributors
provide a multidisciplinary overview of this disease and offer
practical guidance on state-of-the-art methods of assessment and
treatment.;The first section of the book examines the disease of
obesity and its metabolic consequences. It explores obesity in
relation to physiological and psychological health, and describes
the clinical aspects of properly evaluating obese patients. The
roles of dietary factors, appetite, exercise, metabolism, and the
endocrine system in obesity are discussed, as well as the effects
of significant weight loss on long-term health. The psychology of
obesity weight loss, and regain is also discussed.;The second
section provides practitioners with detailed guidelines for
selecting and implementing multidisciplinary treatment that
incorporates dietary intervention, exercise, behaviour
modification, and stress management, and, when necessary, surgery
or pharmacotherapy. Matching patients with clinical interventions
and treatment settings is emphasized, and strategies for
maintaining weight loss are presented.;The final chapter
illustrates how to design interventions appropriate for the
hospital, physician's office, clinic, home, and workplace, and how
to integrate different types of interventions in multiple
settings.;Physicians, dietitians, psychiatrists, psychologists,
exercise physiologists, and allied health professionals, as well as
obesity researchers, should gain a broader understanding of the
evaluation and treatment of obesity from this volume.
In April 2010, President Obama launched the America's Great
Outdoors Initiative, calling on the Secretaries of the Departments
of the Interior and Agriculture, the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency, and the Chair of the White House
Council on Environmental Quality to develop a 21st-century
conservation agenda that will protect America's natural and
cultural resources, and connect people to the outdoors through
jobs, education, recreation, and service. Conservation of our
natural, cultural and historic resources is an American tradition,
shaping who we are as a nation. This book highlights this
Administration's work to date under the America's Great Outdoors
(AGO) initiative.
Oklahoma was in the throes of the Great Depression when Preston
George acquired a cheap Kodak folding camera and took his first
photographs of steam locomotives. As depression gave way to world
war, George kept taking pictures, now with a Graflex camera that
could capture moving trains. In this first book devoted solely to
George's work, his black-and-white photographs constitute a
striking visual documentary of steam-driven railroading in its
brief but glorious heyday in the American Southwest. The pictures
also form a remarkable artistic accomplishment in their own right.
Prominent among the magnificent action images collected here are
the engines that were George's passion - steam locomotives pulling
long freights or strings of gleaming passenger cars through open
country. But along with the fireworks of the heavier steam engines
slogging through the mountains near the Arkansas border on the
Kansas City Southern or climbing Raton Pass in New Mexico on the
Santa Fe, George's photographs also record humbler fare, such as
the short trains of the Frisco and Katy piloted by ancient light
steamers, and the final years of that state's interurban lines.
Augustus J. Veenendaal Jr.'s brief history of railroads in the
Sooner State puts these images into perspective, as does a
reminiscence by George's daughter Burnis on his life and his
pursuit of railroad photography. With over 150 images and a wealth
of historical and biographical information, this volume makes
accessible to an audience beyond the most avid railfans the extent
of Preston George's extraordinary achievement.
