Nutrition Made Incredibly Easy quickly and concisely explains the complex roles nutrition plays in patient care, health promotion, and disease prevention. Incredibly informative! No longer are stodgy textbooks our only source of information on nutrition. This remarkable reference provides practical coverage of nutrition, including: fundamentals - such as nutrient metabolism and absorption as well as recommended allowances; assessment - with an entire chapter on lifespan considerations; care for patients with nutritional or GI disorders - such as obesity, anorexia, dysphagia, GERD, lactose intolerance, and irritable bowel syndrome; nutritional considerations for patients with cardiovascular, renal, or neurologic disorders; diabetes; or HIV disease. Boosts confidence! Nutrition Made Incredibly Easy helps you provide the most effective care for every patient by strengthening your understanding of nutritional care considerations and honing your nutritional care skills, including: detecting nutritional problems early; assessing and monitoring nutritional status; providing appropriate nutritional support. Fantastically fun features! This unique book is loaded with features that make learning about this challenging subject not only easy but also fun, such as: memory joggers, illustrations, and quick quizzes that simplify difficult concepts and reinforce learning; hundreds of helpful tips, charts, and lists; Lifespan lunchbox pieces that highlight important age-related nutritional considerations; Bridging the gap sidebars that call attention to cultural practices and preferences that may affect your care." - from the rear outer cover.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Based on the popular Artech House classic, Digital Communication Systems Engineering with Software-Defined Radio, this book provides a practical approach to quickly learning the software-defined radio (SDR) concepts needed. It explains how to create wireless design prototypes using SDR for real-world testing and experimentation and discusses advanced wireless communication techniques such as OFDM, LTE, WLA, and hardware targeting. Readers will gain an understanding of the core concepts behind wireless hardware, such as the radio frequency front-end, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, as well as various processing technologies. The book also includes details about HDL code generation and deployment as well as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. This volume includes chapters on timing estimation, matched filtering, frame synchronization message decoding, and source coding. It concludes with coverage of the WLAN toolbox with OFDM beacon reception and the LTE toolbox with downlink reception. Multiple case studies are presented throughout the book, and MATLAB and Simulink source codes are included to assist students and professionals with projects in the field.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Slow sand filtration is typically cited as being the first "engineered" process in drinking-water treatment. Proven modifications to the conventional slow sand filtration process, the awareness of induced biological activity in riverbank filtration systems, and the growth of oxidant-induced biological removals in more rapid-rate filters (e.g. biological activated carbon) demonstrate the renaissance of biofiltration as a treatment process that remains viable for both small, rural communities and major cities. Biofiltration is expected to become even more common in the future as efforts intensify to decrease the presence of disease-causing microorganisms and disinfection by-products in drinking water, to minimize microbial regrowth potential in distribution systems, and where operator skill levels are emphasized. Recent Progress in Slow Sand and Alternative Biofiltration Processes provides a state-of-the-art assessment on a variety of biofiltration systems from studies conducted around the world. The authors collectively represent a perspective from 23 countries and include academics, biofiltration system users, designers, and manufacturers. It provides an up-to-date perspective on the physical, chemical, biological, and operational factors affecting the performance of slow sand filtration (SSF), riverbank filtration (RBF), soil-aquifer treatment (SAT), and biological activated carbon (BAC) processes. The main themes are: comparable overviews of biofiltration systems; slow sand filtration process behavior, treatment performance and process developments; and alternative biofiltration process behaviors, treatment performances, and process developments. Slow sand filtration is typically cited as being the first 'engineered' process in drinking-water treatment. This title provides an assessment on a variety of biofiltration systems from studies conducted around the world.
