Integrating the Packaging and Product Experience in Food and Beverages: A Road-Map to Consumer Satisfaction focuses on the interrelationship between packaging and the product experience. In both industry and academia there has been a growing interest in investigating approaches that capture consumer responses to products that go beyond traditional sensory and liking measures. These approaches include assessing consumers' emotional responses, obtaining temporal measures of liking, as well as numerous published articles considering the effect of situation and context in the evaluation of food and beverage products.

For fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) products in particular, packaging can be considered as a contributor to consumer satisfaction. Recent cross-modal research illustrated consumers' dissatisfaction or delight with a product can be evoked when there is dissonance between the packaging and the product experience.

The book includes an extensive overview of an adapted satisfaction scale that has been tailored for the food and beverage sector and which identifies varying satisfaction response modes such as contentment, pleasure, and delight with a product. This is an important development as it provides insights about products that can be used to market specific categories and brands of foods and beverages.

The book demonstrates the value of this approach by bringing together case studies that consider the interrelationships between packaging design, shape, on-pack sensory messages, expectations, and consumer satisfaction with the product.

Focuses on the inter-relationship between packaging and the product experience, specifically in the context of the food and beverage sector Presents the expectancy disconfirmation model of satisfaction, which is well developed within the social sciences, to the food and beverage sector Contains case studies demonstrating how these practices can be used in industry to better enhance customer's responses to products Includes an extensive overview of an adapted satisfaction scale that has been tailored for the food and beverage sector and which identifies varying satisfaction response modes such as contentment, pleasure, and delight with a product

Cyprinids rank as one of the most commercially important groups of freshwater fishes and are exploited for many purposes; as a human food source, especially in Europe and Asia; as sport fish; and as ornamental fish for ponds and aquaria. Certain species are also cultured as bait fish and several of the small cyprinids such as the zebra fish have become internationally accepted laboratory models for toxicology testing and molecular research. A thorough understanding of cyprinid health and diseases is fundamental to the successful management and exploitation of these fishes for freshwater fisheries, pisciculture and ornamental productions. This practical guide to disease diagnosis, prevention and control includes numerous colour plates and covers a comprehensive array of diseases - infectious and non-infectious - of cultivated and wild cyprinids.

Understanding basin-fill evolution and the origin of stratal architectures has traditionally been based on studies of outcrops, well and seismic data, studies of and inferences on qualitative geological processes, and to a lesser extent based on quantitative observations of modern and ancient sedimentary environments. Insight gained on the basis of these studies can increasingly be tested and extended through the application of numerical and analogue forward models. Present-day stratigraphic forward modelling follows two principle lines: 1) the deterministic process-based approach, ideally with resolution of the fundamental equations of fluid and sediment motion at all scales, and 2) the stochastic approach. The process-based approach leads to improved understanding of the dynamics (physics) of the system, increasing our predictive power of how systems evolve under various forcing conditions unless the system is highly non-linear and hence difficult or perhaps even impossible to predict. The stochastic approach is more direct, relatively simple, and useful for study of more complicated or less-well understood systems. Process-based models, more than stochastic ones, are directly limited by the diversity of temporal and spatial scales and the very incomplete knowledge of how processes operate and interact on the various scales.The papers included in this book demonstrate how cross-fertilization between traditional field studies and analogue and numerical forward modelling expands our understanding of Earth-surface systems.

How to get maximum performance from the MGB's four-cylinder B-series engine for road or track. This book tells you all you could want to know, expert tips, and is packed with understandable and down-to-earth advice based on the author's years of hands-on experience. • Covers all MGB and MGB GT 4-cylinder engines (except 3-bearing crank engines)• Explains the ‘first principles’ of engine power and tuning• Handy ‘power recipes’ to help achieve the performance you want• How to improve airflow, camshafts, carburation, ignition and exhaust• Lubrication and cooling systems improvements• Uprating suspension, wheels, tyres and steering for better handling• How to set-up and tune on a rolling road• Comprehensive appendix with formulae and tuning data• Includes cam timing tables for Piper and Kent cams• List of specialists and suppliers to help with your MGB tuneWritten by an acknowledged expert, who runs a well-known tuning business in Derbyshire, England. Peter has been working with MGBs since 1978 and his engine building expertise has produced many MGB race wins. He is also the author of How To Build, Modify & Power Tune Cylinder Heads.Independent reviews:“In the original edition of "How to Power Tune MGB 4-Cylinder Engines", Peter Burgess produced what is arguably the most comprehensive book ever written on MGB cylinder heads. I didn't think he could expand on that topic, but I was wrong ... If you want to get more power out of your MGB, you need to read this book.”MGB Driver“Tells you just about everything you need to know ... focuses on the heart of the MGB - the B-Series engine - and covers in detail just about every possible modification that can be made to the powerplant to extract maximum horsepower. Many of the modifications are fairly obvious, like polishing and porting the cylinder head or fitting a performance exhaust system and tubular manifold to improve gas flow, but the author also goes on to reveal those little gems of wisdom which only come with years of experience ... This is a great book if you are serious about tuning your MGB for track use, but many of the ideas can be used to get a little extra performance out of a road car, and that’s never a bad thing!”Classic Performance & Retro Monthly
