  • Food and Consumer Behavior

    A Comprehensive Reference
    • 1 Edición
    • Herbert L. Meiselman
    • Inglés
    What and how we eat has big implications for our health, our society and the environment. Therefore, it is crucial that we understand what people eat, the reasons why people eat the way they do, and how we can best change food consumer practices. Food is the biggest business in the world, but until recently the emphasis has been on food science and technology (the food product) and not on the food consumer. But there has been a lot of progress in the past 10-20 years on consumer research for foods. There is currently no reference that pulls together these developments. Food and Consumer Behavior: A Comprehensive Reference will emphasise methods for studying consumer responses to foods. The book will also emphasise cross-cultural approaches to studying consumer food behaviour, with the goal of extending the field to all parts of the globe, including Asia and Africa.

    Advances in Blood Flow Quantification Methods for Diagnosis, Monitoring, Prediction, and Personalized Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease explains how abnormal hemodynamics (blood flow dynamics) greatly alter the cardiovascular system’s ability to transport, control and maintain blood flow throughout the body. These deviations often lead to the initiation and progression of disease. Notably, hemodynamic quantification can be extremely useful for accurate and early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Particularly, the ability to monitor and predict hemodynamic effects following specific interventions can significantly broaden lifesaving options. However, image-based computational modelling of predictive hemodynamics analysis methods (and therefore new diagnostic tools) are rare. By extending quantitative methods of analysis, medical professionals can foresee effects of various cardiovascular interventions, allowing for optimized, situation-based care.Advances in Blood Flow Quantification Methods for Diagnosis, Monitoring, Prediction, and Personalized Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease posits that novel, image-based computational modelling hemodynamic analysis tools will enable the next generation of diagnosis, predictive, and treatment planning resources for cardiovascular disease. Readers will become well-versed in recent advances in hemodynamic approaches, while preparing themselves for the next wave of revolutions in cardiovascular health.
