Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Oxford Book of Health Foods provides a scientific critique of the evidence for the medical and health claims made for a wide range of products sold for their health benefits. Over one hundred entries on health foods, from antioxidants to herbal remedies and vitamin supplements, provide an authoritative yet wholly accessible view for professionals and general readers alike. - ;Health foods and dietary supplements are widely used throughout the world - it is estimated that more than seventy million people in Europe regularly buy these products, and it is a billion dollar business in the USA. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Introduction to Molecular Beams Gas Dynamics is devoted to the theory and phenomenology of supersonic molecular beams. The book describes the main physical idea and mathematical methods of the gas dynamics of molecular beams, while the detailed derivation of results and equations is accompanied by an explanation of their physical meaning. The phenomenology of supersonic beams can appear complex to those not experienced in supersonic gas dynamics and the few existing reviews on the topic generally presume specific knowledge of the subject. The book begins with a quantitative description of the |
