Carbohydrate Nutrition discusses the nutritional functionality of foods in addressing the current metabolic disease epidemic. It begins by introducing the sources and structures of various carbohydrates, including starch, human milk oligosaccharides, polyols, arabinoxylan, beta-glucan, and cellulose, along with their function in the small intestine and colon. The book offers a comprehensive examination of carbohydrates, covering their chemistry, classification, digestion and health implications. The importance of prebiotic carbohydrates, such as human milk oligosaccharides and dietary fibers like cellulose, arabinoxylans, and beta-glucan is also discussed.Each chapter is authored by leading experts in the field making Carbohydrate Nutrition is a valuable resource for nutrition researchers, food scientists, food chemists, and those studying related topics. Readers can apply these insights to the design and development of foods with improved carbohydrate nutrition.Presents a holistic view of the structure-function of common carbohydrates in both the upper and lower gastrointestinal tractsExplores different carbohydrate types and their nutritional rolesExplains the rate, extent and location of digestion and absorption for glycemic starch and dietary fibersOffers practical guidance for creating balanced, carbohydrate-rich diets

Since the publication of the benchmark first edition of this book, chemical library and combinatorial chemistry methods have developed into mature technologies. There have also been significant shifts in emphasis in combinatorial synthesis. Reflecting the growth in the field and the heightened focus on select areas, Analytical Methods in Combinatorial Chemistry, Second Edition updates a classic text and captures the current state of these technologies.Written by leaders in the field, this second edition includes several enhancements. A chapter on high-throughput analytical methods and informatics reflects the demand for quality control of library members. A new chapter focuses on high-throughput purification methods. All chapters have been updated with new data.Topics discussed in this second edition include: Properties of solid-phase samples, analytical studies targeted to understand these properties, and resin swellingFourier Transform Infrared techniquesOn-support mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance methods used in the reaction optimization stageCombinatorial library analysis using spectrophotometric, fluorometric, and other methodsQuality control of combinatorial librariesHigh-throughput purification methodsFuture directions and analytical challengesThe coming decade is sure to usher in a new wave of progress in this critical field. This volume provides not only an analysis of the recent developments in analytical methods, technologies and applications; it also provides a window on future possibilities.

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has advanced as a robust method for managing complex dynamic systems, surpassing traditional control strategies in performance and constraint handling. This book explores MPC theory and applications, focusing on robust MPC (RMPC) for systems with uncertainties. It examines three system types: networked systems, stochastic switching systems, and nonlinear hybrid systems. It addresses challenges in networked interventions, Markovian jump systems, and nonlinear systems under communication constraints.• Integrates model predictive control, network-induced constraints, cyber-security issues, and advanced communication protocols• Covers control and state estimation with a focus on dynamic network systems with complex sampling• Considers and models network-induced complexities• Employs several analysis techniques to overcome the recent mathematical/computational difficulties for discrete-time systems• Deals with practical engineering problems for complex dynamic systems with different kinds of scenario-induced complexities or frame-work-induced complexitiesThis book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in networks, signal processing, controls, and dynamic complex systems.

Presents the first ever guide for vehicle scanning of the dynamic properties of bridgesWritten by the leading author on the subject of vehicle scanning method (VSM) for bridges, this book allows engineers to monitor every bridge of concern on a regular and routine basis, for the purpose of maintenance and damage detection. It includes a review of the existing literature on the topic and presents the basic concept of extracting bridge frequencies from a moving test vehicle fitted with vibration sensors. How road surface roughness affects the vehicle scanning method is considered and a finite element simulation is conducted to demonstrate how surface roughness affects the vehicle response. Case studies and experimental results are also included.Vehicle Scanning Method for Bridges covers an enhanced technique for extracting higher bridge frequencies. It examines the effect of road roughness on extraction of bridge frequencies, and looks at a dual vehicle technique for suppressing the effect of road roughness. A filtering technique for eliminating the effect of road roughness is also presented. In addition, the book covers the identification of bridge mode shapes, contact-point response for modal identification of bridges, and damage detection of bridges—all through the use of a moving test vehicle. The first book on vehicle scanning of the dynamic properties of bridgesWritten by the leading author on the subjectIncludes a state-of-the-art review of the existing works on the vehicle scanning method (VSM)Presents the basic concepts for extracting bridge frequencies from a moving test vehicle fitted with vibration sensorsIncludes case studies and experimental results The first book to fully cover scanning the dynamic properties of bridges with a vehicle, Vehicle Scanning Method for Bridges is an excellent resource for researchers and engineers working in civil engineering, including bridge engineering and structural health monitoring.

This book is on the iterative learning control (ILC) with focus on the design and implementation. We approach the ILC design based on the frequency domain analysis and address the ILC implementation based on the sampled data methods. This is the first book of ILC from frequency domain and sampled data methodologies. The frequency domain design methods offer ILC users insights to the convergence performance which is of practical benefits. This book presents a comprehensive framework with various methodologies to ensure the learnable bandwidth in the ILC system to be set with a balance between learning performance and learning stability. The sampled data implementation ensures effective execution of ILC in practical dynamic systems. The presented sampled data ILC methods also ensure the balance of performance and stability of learning process. Furthermore, the presented theories and methodologies are tested with an ILC controlled robotic system. The experimental results show that the machines can work in much higher accuracy than a feedback control alone can offer. With the proposed ILC algorithms, it is possible that machines can work to their hardware design limits set by sensors and actuators. The target audience for this book includes scientists, engineers and practitioners involved in any systems with repetitive operations.

This book employs a qualitative analysis of China’s publicly financed construction sector, taking the system design as its point of departure and applying comprehensive evaluation techniques to create an index system for this type of construction – which in turn serves as a basis for quantitatively evaluating China’s publicly financed construction sector. Given the fact that China’s publicly financed construction sector is a very complex field of systems engineering involving multiple subsystems, as an important indicator of China’s fiscal innovations since its reform and opening, publicly financed construction is now shifting from theory to practice, demonstrating that China has entered an era of fully publicly financed construction.

This book tries to integrate the different arrangements devised in the MTS for small and large NMEs into one analytical framework and explores two sets of rules (GATT/WTO-minus and GATT/WTO-plus) along three historical stages (shaping, weakening and strengthening). The focal point of this book is to uncover the composition and structure of the NME treatment in the MTS, its evolving logic and process, and the nature and trend of the political-economic relations between NMEs and the MTS.
