The essential primer on the role of honeybees in British history, covering biology, folklore, the history of beekeeping and the danger to bees posed by climate change.
One in every four bites of food we eat is thanks to bees. They pollinate 80 per cent of the world's crops and plants, but how much...
The development of low-cost, compact digital storage, sensors and radio modules allows us to embed digital memories into products to record key events. Such computationally enhanced products can perceive and control their environment, analyze their observations, and communicate with other smart objects and human users. Digital product...
Epidemiological studies have estimated that approximately 35 percent of cancers are potentially avoidable by nutritional modification. These modifications include strategies such as caloric restriction and limitation of specific macro-nutrient groups. However, recent research indicates that what you eat may well be just as important as what...
The book begins with familiar designs found all around and inside us (such as the ‘trees’ of river basins, human lungs, blood and city traffic). It then shows how all flow systemsare driven by power from natural engines everywhere, and how they are endlessly shaped because of freedom. Finally, Professor Bejan explains...
From the savory splendor of crisply fried artichokes to the easy indulgence of spaghetti alla carbonara perfectly al dente, the cooking of Rome is every bit as glorious as the city’s breathtaking art and architecture.

The NPY-family of peptides encompasses several groups of neurotransmitters and hormones, which exert diverse biological and pathological actions that bear on all major vital systems. The recognition of the role of NPY in stimulation of food intake has already resulted in discovery of potent and selective NPY receptor Y-5 antagonists which are...
The breakthrough of Raman, mid - infrared and near - infrared spectroscopy as practical imaging tools with rational measurement and evaluation times has only taken place in recent years, although Raman and infrared spectroscopy are well - established analytical techniques for research, quality assurance and process control since many decades....

Examine several methods of testing for genetically modified organisms and the reasons behind their strict regulation!
Testing of Genetically Modified Organisms in Foods is the first study of the screening methods and tools utilized for determining the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food products. Leading...
Recent research has increased awareness of chemical residues and natural
contaminants in food. At the same time, consumer concerns about food safety have
also grown. At a national and international level this has resulted in more stringent
imposition of new, legislative limits for a range of mycotoxins which can
contaminate food...
In recognition of monumental impact of gene expression in producing normal and abnor-
mal cellular states, we are pleased to offer the scientific community a volume on Gene
Regulation, Methods and Protocols. The goal is to provide scientists in academia, food, and
pharmaceutical industry, as well as public institutions, complementary...
