Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Over the past two decades type 2 diabetes has emerged as a leading threat to global health and the considerable overlap in obesity and diabetes trends are likely no coincidence. While the underpinnings for both etiologies are linked to lifestyles particularly dietary and physical activity patterns determining optimal approaches for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes using dietary composition remains a challenge. Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes: Etiology and Prevention rigorously examines various perspectives on diet and type 2 diabetes. The book presents a comprehensive description and evaluation of the central research to date primarily in humans on the macronutrients and their subclasses micronutrients foods beverages and overall dietary patterns with respect to the risk of type 2 diabetes. It addresses the mediating/mechanistic role of obesity and body composition throughout the text where appropriate. The chapter authors all leading researchers in the field discuss fundamental nutritional principles applied to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes as well as applied behavioral studies on nutrition and diabetes for each subject area. The depth and breadth of this book includes aspects of the food synergy model for understanding the complicated pathways between nutrition dietary habits and risk for type 2 diabetes. It also examines the effects of artificially sweetened beverages and coffee. This reference provides a review of the science on the potential impact of many components of dietary behavior and nutritional properties on etiology and risk for this disease knowledge that is essential for formulating informed approaches to public health progress in this area. | Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

The contents of this book comprise an appropriate background to start working and doing research on mean-field-type control and game theory. To make the exposition and explanation even easier we first study the deterministic optimal control and differential linear-quadratic games. Then we progressively add complexity step-by-step and little-by-little to the problem settings until we finally study and analyze mean-field-type control and game problems incorporating several stochastic processes e. g. Brownian motions Poisson jumps and random coefficients. We go beyond the Nash equilibrium which provides a solution for non- cooperative games by analyzing other game-theoretical concepts such as the Berge Stackelberg adversarial/robust and co-opetitive equilibria. For the mean-field-type game analysis we provide several numerical examples using a Matlab-based user-friendly toolbox that is available for the free use to the readers of this book. We present several engineering applications in both continuous and discrete time. Among these applications we find the following: water distribution systems micro-grid energy storage stirred tank reactor mechanism design for evolutionary dynamics multi-level building evacuation problem and the COVID-19 propagation control. With such a demand from engineering audiences this book is very timely and provides a thorough study of mean-field-type game theory. The strenuous protagonist of this book is to bridge between the theoretical findings and engineering solutions. The book introduces the basics first and then mathematical frameworks are elaborately explained. The engineering application examples are shown in detail and the popular learning approaches are also investigated. Those advantageous characteristics will make this book a comprehensive handbook of many engineering fields for many years and I will buy one when it gets published.

The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type

The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type

Why have the great revolutionary leaders of modern times from Robespierre to Lenin and Mao Tse-tung‘so often been ascetics austere puritans with few emotional ties? What functions political as well as personal do these ascetic traits perform for the modern revolutionary leader and for his followers?Noted historian and author Bruce Mazlish is convinced that beginning in the nineteenth century the needs of modernizing revolutions have produced a distinct new type of political leader the revolutionary ascetic. This individual's denial of personal pleasures and commitments both enables him to perform politically necessary if personally repulsive revolutionary acts and to command the allegiance of his more worldly followers. Starting with Cromwell and the religious ascetics of the Puritan Revolution Mazlish shows in a series of fascinating personality sketches how this asceticism first became secularized with the French Revolution and then in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was put to the service of a new kind of total modernizing revolution in Russia China and elsewhere. In two remarkably vivid portraits of Lenin and Mao Tse-tung Mazlish shows us precisely how two of the century's best-known revolutionaries consciously and unconsciously used their personal asceticism to induce revolutionary change. | The Revolutionary Ascetic Evolution of a Political Type
