Turbocharge your metabolism for vitality, energy, and lifelong health As the modern Western lifestyle spreads around the globe, so too does metabolic syndrome — a cluster of symptoms that increases the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other conditions. The good news: metabolic syndrome can be tamed by a sensible program of exercise, natural foods, stress management, and quality sleep. In this concise and lively book, Dr. Vij distills a mass of medical research into a simple, effective program for vibrant health. Avoiding fads and gimmicks, he provides practical advice, case studies of ordinary people, and brief sections that debunk common medical myths. By following Dr. Vij's evidence-based methods, you can manage diabetes, avoid related metabolic conditions, lose weight, and live a healthier, happier life with energy to spare.
The foundation for the subject of mathematical finance was laid nearly 100 years ago by Bachelier in his fundamental work, Theorie de la speculation. In this work, he provided the first treatment of Brownian motion. Since then, the research of Markowitz, and then of Black, Merton, Scholes, and Samuelson brought remarkable and important strides in the field. A few years later, Harrison and Kreps demonstrated the fundamental role of martingales and stochastic analysis in constructing and understanding models for financial markets. The connection opened the door for a flood of mathematical developments and growth. Concurrently with these mathematical advances, markets have grown, and developmen...
Luminescence of Solids gathers together much of the latest work on luminescent inorganic materials and new physical phenomena. The volume includes chapters covering -- the achievements that have led to the establishment of the fundamental laws of luminescence -- light sources, light-dispersing elements, detectors, and other experimental techniques -- models and mechanisms -- materials preparation, and -- future trends. This international collection of cutting-edge luminescence research is complemented by over 170 illustrations that bring to life the text's many vital concepts.
Numerical Methods in Finance describes a wide variety of numerical methods used in financial analysis.
The book is fundamentally designed to serve as an introduction to the study of Multinational Financial Management for students and managers with little previous exposure to the details of this area. The book provides an overview of the financial environment in which multinational firms operate. It also provides a thorough discussion on the Balance of payments and international financial institutions and financial markets. It also discusses the organization and operations of the foreign exchange.
In a deepening twilight, Florida rancher, Claude Collette, is drowned in a lime pit at SOUTHERN ROCK AND LIMESTONE in Quarry County, Florida, a death ruled “Accidental.” When his daughter, Chere, approaches Psychologist, Shelby Wallace for treatment, Wallace is drawn in by her suspicions and a plea from Collette’s best friend to “look into it ‘cause somethin’ ain’t right.” Though experienced at casting below the surface, she backs into crime-solving inadvertently. Her redneck secretary, Willowdean Maynard, and friend, former Navy Chief, Coleman Bedford, aid her investigation from Quarry, to Tampa, to the “river rats” along the Withlacoochee River, to a final confrontation with the killer.
In this, the only up-to-date book on this key technology, the number-one expert in the field perfectly blends academic knowledge and industrial applications. Adopting a didactical approach, Professor Ronda discusses all the underlying principles, such that both researchers as well as beginners in the field will profit from this book. The focus is on the inorganic side and the phenomena of luminescence behind the manifold applications illustrated here, including displays, LEDs, lamps, and medical applications. Valuable reading for chemists and electrochemists, as well as materials scientists, those working in the optical and chemical industry, plus lamp and lighting manufacturers.
