Whisky and Other Spirits: Technology, Production and Marketing, Third Edition continues to provide details from raw materials to the finished product, including production, packaging and marketing. It focuses on the science and technology of the process as well as the environment in which it is produced. Today, environmental concerns and sustainability of products has taken on a new level of importance. Traditional ways of packaging and marketing have also changed dramatically in recent years as the technology of packaging has moved from a staid bottle industry to spirit products that cross traditional beverage categories and packaging. This new edition provides the latest changes in industry and the beverages market. All chapters are updated, with new chapters added to help improve research and development, and to increase production of not only whiskey but other spirits such as gin and rum and white spirits. This new edition also discusses trendy reduced alcohol and no alcohol products.

Addresses several material flows, including iron, steel, aluminum and other metals, pulp and paper, plastics, glass, construction materials, industrial by-products, and more. This title considers policy and economic implications, including the impact of recycling on energy use, sustainable development, and the environment.

Presents an overview of health communications including history, cardiovascular prevalence and role of Chinese medicine, interpersonal communications between practitioners and patients, and explores methods in epidemiology to follow symptom, diagnostic, treatment and follow-up patterns in the clinic.

Instructs readers on the finer details of cardiovascular patient examination techniques used in western medicine, together with TCM examination techniques. This is a guide to the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease through western medicine and TCM differential diagnosing.

Includes information on the basic medical sciences of blood lipids, clinical significance, diagnosis, and treatment methods. This book covers TCM differentiations, diagnosis, treatment principles, and methods. It gives a detailed explanation of cholesterol problems and offers Chinese medicine as a solution.

Details the basics of how to take and record cardiac patient history and triage vitals, and then apply the basic western and TCM methods for examining cardiovascular patients in the clinic. This book outlines the basic procedure for creating intake questions and then examining the cardiovascular patient using both western and TCM techniques.

Focuses on the basic principles of ultraviolet light technology as applied in low-UV transmittance treatments of food fluids and solid foods. This book describes the features of UV light absorption in food fluids and available commercial systems, and provides case studies for UV treatment of fresh juices, dairy products, wines, and beer.

Corn and grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor subsp bicolor L) are among the top cereal crops world wide, and both are key for global food security. This book provides a comprehensive review of the similarities and differences between corn and grain sorghum.

Provides a comprehensive view of the biochemistry, biological activity, and practical application of extracellular glycolipids of yeast. This book brings much-needed clarity to the complex topic of glycolipids and streamlines the rather confusing terminology used for glycolipids.

A pictorial guide to flagella in a variety of organisms. Each EM image is accompanied by a short description of the system in each organism.

The pharmaceutical industry needs a shot in the arm - and not a moment too soon. Suitable for those fresh to industry, as well as for experienced professionals or specialists looking to expand their knowledge, this book intends to bridge the knowledge gap between business practices and the technologies.

Patterns and their formations appear throughout nature, and are studied to analyze different problems in science and make predictions across a range of disciplines including biology, physics, mathematics, chemistry, material science, and nanoscience. This title is suitable for scientists, researchers, engineers, and students.

Integrated Products Biorefinery technologies will allow industry to manufacture high-value chemicals, fuels, and/or electric power while continuing to produce traditional wood, pulp, and paper products. This title covers the biorefining concept, opportunities for the pulp and paper industry, and emerging biorefinery process options.

Forensic science laboratories' reputations have increasingly come under fire. This book integrates and explains problematic trends in forensic science. It provides insight on the state of forensic science, demands, and direction as provided by experts in the field and consolidates the state of standards and practices of labs across disciplines.

More than 50 years have passed since the use of L-dopa in the palliative treatment of Parkinson's disease, but it remains the most common treatment despite inducing severe side effects such as dyskinesia after 4-6 years of use. Numerous preclinical investigations based on endogenous neurotoxin models have promised various therapies for Parkinson's disease, but these efforts have failed when attempting to transfer these successful results to preclinical studies. Although several publications have warned of these failures, the scientific community remains mostly unaware, and there is a need to focus their efforts on potential therapeutics that can slow or halt development of the disease.Clinical Studies and Therapies in Parkinson's Disease: Translations from Preclinical Models analyzes preclinical models based on exogenous neurotoxins and why they have failed. Neuroscientists, neurologists, and neuropharmacologists will benefit greatly from the book's discussion of these newer models, their benefits, and the need for their implementation. This book also provides the basic concepts of dopamine metabolism for students taking courses in neurochemistry, neuroscience, neuropharmacology, biochemistry, and medicine.

Ocean Mixing: Drivers, Mechanisms and Impacts presents a broad panorama of one of the most rapidly-developing areas of marine science. It highlights the state-of-the-art concerning knowledge of the causes of ocean mixing, and a perspective on the implications for ocean circulation, climate, biogeochemistry and the marine ecosystem. This edited volume places a particular emphasis on elucidating the key future questions relating to ocean mixing, and emerging ideas and activities to address them, including innovative technology developments and advances in methodology. Ocean Mixing is a key reference for those entering the field, and for those seeking a comprehensive overview of how the key current issues are being addressed and what the priorities for future research are. Each chapter is written by established leaders in ocean mixing research; the volume is thus suitable for those seeking specific detailed information on sub-topics, as well as those seeking a broad synopsis of current understanding. It provides useful ammunition for those pursuing funding for specific future research campaigns, by being an authoritative source concerning key scientific goals in the short, medium and long term. Additionally, the chapters contain bespoke and informative graphics that can be used in teaching and science communication to convey the complex concepts and phenomena in easily accessible ways.
