It's no secret America has a growing weight problem, an obesity epidemic with a serious effect on individual health. Rates of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and heart attacks rise dramatically with excess weight. You've heard all this before, though. We're bombarded with media messages sounding the alarm over obesity rates, usually sandwiched between ads for high-fructose syrup drinks and super-sized fast-food. What isn't reported is how to maintain a healthy weight. Apparently we're supposed to know this instinctively, which isn't the case at all. Ultra-intense workout tapes and low-calorie diet books help some people lose weight, but they make high demands and are intimidating, so people often give up on them. Besides, who wants to live off kale smoothies? Healthy Tex-Mex takes a different approach. Designed with south Texas cuisine and tastes in mind, the recipes in this cookbook retain all the bold flavors you expect from Tex-Mex while using healthier ingredients. Dr. Juan C. Prieto and his team understand taste is just as important for a successful diet program as ingredients, so you'll still enjoy tangy salsas, delicious guacamole, and yes, even healthy refried beans. Dr. Prieto offers easy-to-follow guidance for people wanting to make healthier grocery shopping and cooking decisions. Healthy Tex-Mex offers plenty of tips for changing your lifestyle in small but important ways, so you'll experience progressively greater successes while having fun and without sacrificing the tastes you love. Sure, more spartan, demanding diet books may help you lose weight faster, but Healthy Tex-Mex helps you adjust to a healthy lifestyle without intimidation, stress, or kale smoothies. Start your journey to healthy living today, and try the tortilla chip-crusted chicken with green salsa. It's delicious!
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence, CAEPIA 2007, held in Salamanca, Spain, in November 2007, in conjunction with the 7th Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Technology Transfer, TTIA 2007. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 134 submissions. The papers address all current issues of artificial intelligence ranging from methodological and foundational aspects to advanced applications in various fields.
Each chapter in this book is written by a group of leading experts in one particular type of microprobe technique. They emphasize the ability of that technique to provide information about small structures (i.e. quantum dots, quantum lines), microscopic defects, strain, layer composition, and its usefulness as diagnostic technique for device degradation. Different types of probes are considered (electrons, photons and tips) and different microscopies (optical, electron microscopy and tunneling). It is an ideal reference for post-graduate and experienced researchers, as well as for crystal growers and optoelectronic device makers.
This book deals with standard spectroscopic techniques which can be used to analyze semiconductor samples or devices, in both, bulk, micrometer and submicrometer scale. The book aims helping experimental physicists and engineers to choose the right analytical spectroscopic technique in order to get specific information about their specific demands. For this purpose, the techniques including technical details such as apparatus and probed sample region are described. More important, also the expected outcome from experiments is provided. This involves also the link to theory, that is not subject of this book, and the link to current experimental results in the literature which are presented in a review-like style. Many special spectroscopic techniques are introduced and their relationship to the standard techniques is revealed. Thus the book works also as a type of guide or reference book for people researching in optical spectroscopy of semiconductors.
