Dairy science includes the study of milk and milk-derived food
products, examining the biological, chemical, physical, and
microbiological aspects of milk itself, as well as the
technological (processing) aspects of the transformation of milk
into its various consumer products, including beverages, fermented
products, concentrated and dried products, butter and ice cream.
This encyclopedia includes information on the possible impact of
genetic modification of dairy animals, safety concerns of raw milk
and raw milk products, peptides in milk, dairy-based allergies,
packaging and shelf-life and other topics of importance and
interest to those in dairy research and industry. The Encyclopedia
of Dairy Sciences, Five Volume Set is the only work available that
covers in detail the entirety of dairy science, from husbandry of
dairy animals, milk production, through the processing of milk into
a myriad of dairy products and ingredients, to the effect of dairy
foods on human health. The third edition of Encyclopedia of Dairy
Sciences will retain the split that characterized the earlier
editions - one-third primary production, two-thirds dairy food.
Unlike earlier editions, in which articles were arranged in
alphabetical order by topic, this edition will be optimally
organized into 9 coherent sections. This new edition contains 500
articles, the vast majority of which has been significantly revised
or is completely new. Only 40 chapters have been retained from the
earlier edition as they cover basic science areas still relevant
and important today. All articles have been reviewed by specialists
in their area.
Despite the increased number of interracial marriages in recent
years, Black/White couples still experience a host of problems in
American society, particularly in the South. Drawing on extensive
interviews with 28 Black/White couples living in the South, this
ethnographic study describes the issues and obstacles these couples
have to face and documents their overwhelming sense of social
isolation. The problems include hostility, encountered while the
couple is in public, ranging from stares to outright attacks, as
well as a lack of support and ostracization by their families.
After discussing the nature of Black/White relationships and the
historical implications of interracial couples--beginning with
slavery--the authors adopt a life history approach, which allows
them to probe deeply into the meaning of the interviewees'
responses.
This book presents research in an interdisciplinary field,
resulting from the vigorous and fruitful cross-pollination between
traditional deontic logic and computer science. AI researchers have
used deontic logic as one of the tools in modelling legal
reasoning. Computer scientists have discovered that computer
systems (including their interaction with other computer systems
and with human agents) can often be productively modelled as
norm-governed. So, for example, deontic logic has been applied by
computer scientists for specifying bureaucratic systems, access and
security policies, and soft design or integrity constraints, and
for modelling fault tolerance. In turn, computer scientists and AI
researchers have also discovered (and made it clear to the rest of
us) that various formal tools (e.g. nonmonotonic, temporal and
dynamic logics) developed in computer science and artificial
intelligence have interesting applications to traditional issues in
deontic logic. This volume presents some of the best work done in
this area, with the selection at once reflecting the general
interdisciplinary (and international) character that this area of
research has taken on, as well as reflecting the more specific
recent inter-disciplinary developments between traditional deontic
logic and computer science.
For Hayek, spontaneous order - the emergence of complex order as
the unintended consequence of individual actions that have no such
end in view - is both the origin of the Great Society and its
underlying principle. These sometimes critical essays assess
Hayek's position and argue that his work can inform contemporary
social and political dilemmas.
The author became interested in male prostitution while
researching populations susceptible to AIDS. He found such a
population in male prostitutes in Times Square which had developed
a community to deal with common problems. Among these changing the
community were AIDS, crack cocaine, and urban redevelopment. This
work is directed to sociologists, social workers, and those
interested in popular culture.
For more than 60 years, Times Square has reigned as one of New
York's premiere tourist attractions. In recent years, an average of
20 million people visit New York City, and Times Square is a sight
most do not miss. The reason for this is that Times Square holds
something for everyone: theaters, restaurants, entertainment, and a
transportation center that brings almost 400,000 people into the
city every day. For a sociologist interested in studying crime and
the ways in which deviant networks and communities emerge, Times
Square offers numerous opportunities. Because large segments of
these groups pride themselves on anonymity, many researchers employ
ethnographic research methods. The articles in this manuscript
focus on the various aspects of Time Square using the ethnographic
approach. The topics include the sex trade, drugs and drug dealing,
recent redevelopment efforts, the social ecology of Times Square,
and a discussion of police operations in this marketplace.
Semantic priming has been a focus of research in the cognitive
sciences for more than thirty years and is commonly used as a tool
for investigating other aspects of perception and cognition, such
as word recognition, language comprehension, and knowledge
representations. Semantic Priming: Perspectives from Memory and
Word Recognition examines empirical and theoretical advancements in
the understanding of semantic priming, providing a succinct,
in-depth review of this important phenomenon, framed in terms of
models of memory and models of word recognition. The first section
examines models of semantic priming, including spreading activation
models, the verification model, compound-cue models, distributed
network models, and multistage activation models (e.g.
interactive-activation model). The second section examines issues
and findings that have played an especially important role in
testing models of priming and includes chapters on the following
topics: methodological issues (e.g. counterbalancing of materials,
choice of priming baselines); automatic vs. strategic priming;
associative vs. "pure" semantic priming; mediated priming;
long-term semantic priming; backward priming; unconscious priming;
the prime-task effect; list context effects; effects of word
frequency, stimulus quality, and stimulus repetition; and the
cognitive neuroscience of semantic priming. The book closes with a
summary and a discussion of promising new research directions. The
volume will be of interest to a wide range of researchers and
students in the cognitive sciences and neurosciences.

"Breast Implant Imaging" is the first definitive reference on the
use of MR imaging, ultrasound, and mammography to detect breast
implant failure. The book details the capabilities and limitations
of each modality, the imaging features of various implant types,
the signs of implant rupture and soft-tissue silicone, and the
pitfalls and artifacts encountered. Coverage includes a chapter on
breast cancer imaging in patients who have had implants or silicone
fluid injections. More than 600 illustrations complement the text.
A bound-in CD-ROM contains over 300 images not found in the book.
Included on the CD are a searchable breast implant catalogue, color
versions of eleven color-critical black-and-white images found in
the book, and AVI movie files of MR imaging studies from the book.
