Ambitious Dreams is a realistic and practical effort to realize more effectively what Catholic and other colleges and universities profess: To instill the values and the courage needed to achieve justice and peace in our world today.
Responding to the growing importance of the values education movement and the need for institutional guidance in the planning and implementation of values programs, this book offers a practical and conceptual model. A founder and for fifteen years the director of the Center for the Advancement of Values Education (CAVE) at Le Moyne College, Donald J. Kirby draws on that experience to clarify and describe the development, research, and fine-tuning skills required to create this evolving, effective, operational process. He makes the process come alive giving others the power to make it a reality in their own institutions. He documents the leadership, growth process, structure, and institutional support that have enabled the CAVE model to succeed at Le Moyne. Discussing a number of approaches, Kirby offers advice for tailoring the CAVE model to various kinds of institutions, from large universities to medical, law, and business schools. Compass for Uncharted Lives provides a unique practical guide to program development, making this book an invaluable resource for faculty and administrators who want to move from desire to action in terms of values education.
Biochemical kinetics refers to the rate at which a reaction takes place. Kinetic mechanisms have played a major role in defining the metabolic pathways, the mechanistic action of enzymes, and even the processing of genetic material. The Handbook of Biochemical Kinetics provides the "underlying scaffolding" of logic for kinetic approaches to distinguish rival models or mechanisms. The handbook also comments on techniques and their likely limitations and pitfalls, as well as derivations of fundamental rate equations that characterize biochemical processes.Key Features* Over 750 pages devoted to theory and techniques for studying enzymic and metabolic processes* Over 1,500 definitions of kinetic and mechanistic terminology, with key references* Practical advice on experimental design of kinetic experiments* Extended step-by-step methods for deriving rate equations* Over 1,000 enzymes, complete with EC numbers, reactions catalyzed, and references to reviews and/or assay methods* Over 5,000 selected references to kinetic methods appearing in the Methods in Enzymology series* 72-page Wordfinder that allows the reader to search by keywords* Summaries of mechanistic studies on key enzymes and protein systems* Over 250 diagrams, figures, tables, and structures
A collection of poems by writers ranging from William Blake and Henry W. Longfellow to Emily Dickinson and Robert L. Stevenson, arranged by topics such as The Seasons, Nursery Rhymes, and Lullabies and Cradle Songs.
This new edition discusses the physical and engineering aspects of the thermal processing of packaged foods and examines the methods which have been used to establish the time and temperature of processes suitable to achieve adequate sterilization or pasteurization of the packaged food. The third edition is totally renewed and updated, including new concepts and areas that are relevant for thermal food processing: This edition is formed by 22 chapters—arranged in five parts—that maintain great parts of the first and second editions The First part includes five chapters analyzing different topics associated to heat transfer mechanism during canning process, kinetic of microbial death, sterilization criteria and safety aspect of thermal processing. The second part, entitled Thermal Food Process Evaluation Techniques, includes six chapters and discusses the main process evaluation techniques. The third part includes six chapters treating subjects related with pressure in containers, simultaneous sterilization and thermal food processing equipment. The fourth part includes four chapters including computational fluid dynamics and multi-objective optimization. The fifth part, entitled Innovative Thermal Food Processing, includes a chapter focused on two innovative processes used for food sterilization such high pressure with thermal sterilization and ohmic heating. Thermal Processing of Pa ckaged Foods, Third Edition is intended for a broad audience, from undergraduate to post graduate students, scientists, engineers and professionals working for the food industry.
Highly illustrated and easy to use, Dermatology in Pediatrics, by Drs. Donald Shenenberger, Bernard Cohen, Jonathan Glass, and Joel Spitz, is a practical, everyday reference not only for dermatologists and dermatology residents, but also for pediatricians, family medicine physicians, and other clinicians who care for children. For each dermatologic condition, you’ll find a two-page spread: on the left is concise, templated information on diagnosis and management; on the right are full-color illustrations and clinical photographs that provide real-world visual guidance. From cover to cover, an easy-to-navigate, open, and visually appealing layout speeds you to the information you need.
This work, a companion to the author's Broadway Sheet Music: A Comprehensive Listing of Published Music from Broadway and Other Stage Shows, 1918 through 1993 (McFarland 1996), provides information about all sheet music published (1843-1918) from all Broadway productions--plus music from local shows, minstrel shows, night club acts, vaudeville acts, touring companies, and shows on the road that never made it to Broadway--and all the major musicals from Chicago.
