Volume 40.1 of the journal Textiles Progress , this book presents recent research on conjugate spinning techniques and developments in bicomponent spinning and electrospinning. It discusses the properties of microfibers affecting the downstream process; the processing of microfibers; alternative spinning technologies; weaving and knitting with microfibers, including projectile, rapier, and air-jet weaving; the reactions of microfibers to different hydrolysis environments; and the dyeing of microfibers. The text also presents various uses of microfibers in industrial, medical, apparel, and miscellaneous applications and explores the economics and limitations of producing this fiber.

Focusing on the interconnections between number theory and commutative algebra, this self-contained book presents the conceptual foundations of commutative algebra arising from number theory. Using a pedagogical approach, the author examines situations where explicit algebraic analogues of some theorems of number theory are available. Beginning with elements of number theory and algebra, the book studies ordered fields, fields with valuation inversion formulae, generating functions, and algebraic number theory. It explores links with ring theory and the polynomial analogue of the Goldbach problem. Coverage includes the Chinese remainder theorem, reciprocity laws, finite groups, abstract Mobius inversion, rings of arithmetic functions, and finite dimensional algebras.

Anemias resulting from nutritional factors constitute the largest nutrition health problem affecting populations in both developed and developing nations. Nutritional Anemias examines these anemias in detail and offers a balanced approach that includes current research findings on the etiology and consequences of this important problem. It discusses intervention strategies, namely fortification, food-based strategies, and control of helminth infection in the prevention of nutritional anemia. It also examines supplementation: the problems of compliance with iron during pregnancy, benefits of weekly vs. daily use, and multinutrients. Including lessons learned from past and ongoing programs as well as current controversies, it is a valuable resource.

This volume focuses on the classical theory of number-theoretic functions emphasizing algebraic and multiplicative techniques. It contains many structure theorems basic to the study of arithmetic functions, including several previously unpublished proofs. The author is head of the Dept. of Mathemati
