• Sommario/riassunto: The book is devoted to expanding current views on protein functionality in food systems. A thorough account of functional properties of food proteins and their modification by protein source, environmental factors and processing conditions are provided. The author describes in detail the important relationship between protein confirmation, physico-chemical and functional properties. Special attention is given to the influence of protein functionality on food quality, food production and related economical aspects and to the use of various proteins for improving existing and designing new food products.

• Sommario/riassunto: Since 1968 the Elementary and Secondary School Civil Rights ; Compliance Report (known as the E&S survey) has been used to gather information about possible disparities in access to learning opportunities and violations of students (TM) civil rights. Thirty-five years after the initiation of the E&S survey, large disparities remain both in educational outcomes and in access to learning opportunities and resources. These disparities may reflect violations of students (TM) civil rights, the failure of education policies and practices to provide students from all backgrounds with a similar educational experience, or both. They may also reflect the failure of schools to fully compensate for disparities and current differences in parents (TM) education, income, and family structure. The Committee on Improving Measures of Access to Equal Educational Opportunities concludes that the E&S survey continues to play an essential role in documenting these disparities and in providing information that is useful both in guiding efforts to protect students (TM) civil rights and for informing educational policy and practice. The committee also concludes that the survey (TM)s usefulness and access to the survey data could be improved.
