Completely updated, revised, and expanded, Fatty Acids in Foods and their Health Implications, Third Edition retains the highly detailed, authoritative quality of the previous editions to present the most current knowledge of fatty acids in food and food products and reveal diverse health implications. This edition includes eight entirely new chapters and several rewrites covering fatty acids in foods and food preparation and the health related effects of specific fatty acids on metabolism, visual dysfunction, aging, inflammation, energy homeostasis, cognition, and brain development. The most complete resource available on fatty acids and their biological effects, this book provides state-of-the-science information from all corners of nutritional and biochemical research.

Filling the void of an introductory text in the field, this book highlights several computational and analytical techniques involved in stochastic PDEs. It includes many challenging problems in stochastic analysis and treats stochastic PDEs in a practical way. The author first brings the subject back to its root in classical concrete problems. He then discusses a unified theory of stochastic evolution equations and describes a few applied problems, including the random vibration of a nonlinear elastic beam and invariant measures for stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. The book concludes by pointing out the connection of stochastic PDEs to infinite-dimensional stochastic analysis.

This book explains how the formulas and procedures for sample size calculations can be used in a variety of clinical research and development stages. It presents real-world examples from several therapeutic areas to illustrate clinical and statistical concepts, interpretations, and interactions. The book also explores emerging topics in pharmaceutical research and development, including QT/QTc studies with time-dependent replicates and the use of propensity score analysis in nonrandomized or observational studies. This edition now provides sample size calculations for three major areas of clinical research: dose response studies, microarray studies, and Bayesian approaches.

Illustrating how stability studies play an important role in drug safety and quality assurance, this book introduces the basic concepts of stability testing, focuses on short-term stability studies, and reviews several methods for estimating drug expiration dating periods. The author compares some commonly employed study designs and discusses both fixed and random batch statistical analyses. The book examines the stability analysis of a linear mixed effects model and stability analyses with discrete responses, multiple components, and frozen drug products. It also explores dissolution testing, current issues, and recent developments in stability studies.

Cada año surgen nuevas empresas dispuestas a producir mejor y más barato. ¿Qué podemos hacer para prosperar en un mercado cada vez más competitivo? La clave está en uno de los pilares de toda iniciativa empresarial: la calidad. Si usted descuida este aspecto de sus productos o servicios, no importa cuánto invierta en alcanzar el éxito: no podrá mantenerse mucho tiempo en la cima. La historia de Peter Delvecchio, director de una fábrica de helados, pone a nuestro alcance una valiosa lección: la calidad es mucho más que un simple eslogan, y todo esfuerzo por alcanzarla tiene siempre su recompensa. The Ice Cream Maker nos enseña que la calidad debe convertirse en el atributo esencial de nuestra labor. Para ello debemos estar siempre dispuestos a reinventar nuestros métodos y a buscar la perfección en todo momento; y, por encima de todo, debemos aprender a escuchar a nuestros clientes: ellos definen la calidad de un producto, no nosotros.

One of the first books on the topic, Adaptive Design Methods Clinical Trials presents the principles and methodologies in adaptive design and analysis that pertain to adaptations made to trial or statistical procedures based on accrued data of ongoing clinical trials. The book also offers a well-balanced summary of current regulatory perspectives, recently developed statistical methods, and practical guidelines for choosing an optimal design. Providing a broad range of adaptive design methods that use both analytical and simulation approaches, this resource fills the need for a unified, comprehensive, and updated book in the clinical research and development of adaptive design and analysis.
