Energy balance;

Abstract Man is an omnivore and originally met energy requirements by hunting and gathering. Man evolved in an environment of feast and famine: there were periods with either a positive or negative energy balance. As an introduction to human energetics, this book on energy balance in motion starts with a chapter on animal energetics. How do animals survive and reproduce in an environment with a variable food supply? The examples on animal energetics illustrate how animals grow, reproduce and survive periods of starvation.

Two of the main distinctions between chemical engineers and other engineering disciplines are the topics of mass and energy balances. Within these two topics there are a lot of underlying chemical principles that help chemical engineers to perform calculations to determine what is happening in a system, allowing better control of a process.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: TCM considers the patient as a microcosm of the universe, subject to the influences of the environment and internal harmony. Patients are subject to the interplay of external factors such as wind, heat, dryness, dampness and cold which act on the elemental qualities of the human body such as wood, fire, earth, metal and water.

Research, development and industrialisation of renewable energy are currently moving at a rapid pace worldwide. Biofuels play significant roles in decarbonisation of our future energy needs and act to mitigate deleterious impacts of greenhouse gas emissions. Liquid transportation biofuels (bioethanol and biodiesel) now represent key contributors to the bioenergy portfolios in many countries.

Energy and climate change are issues of critical importance for shaping a sustainable future, both in South Africa and globally. For South Africa, finding a policy approach which balances the increasing demand for energy with the need for sustainability, equity and climate change mitigation is a particular challenge. This book provides an innovative and strategic approach to climate policy, with local development objectives as its starting point.

Food engineering is usually a difficult discipline for food science students because they are more used to qualitative rather than to quantitative descriptions of food processing operations. Food engineering requires understanding of the basic principles of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer phenomena and application of these principles to unit operations which are frequently used in food processing, e.g., evaporation, drying, thermal processing, cooling and freezing, etc. The most difficult part of a course in food engineering is often considered the solution of problems.

Although metabolites and energy balance have long been known to play roles in the regulation of food intake, the potential role of fatty acid metabolism in this process has been considered only recently. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) catalyzes the condensation of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to generate long-chain fatty acids in the cytoplasm, while the breakdown of fatty acids (h-oxidation) occurs in mitochondria and is regulated by carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1), the rate-limiting step for the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria....

The history of quality is the history of human efforts to make things perfect in an imperfect world. The main purpose of the quality procedures is to reduce errors and increase customer satisfaction. Errors and mistakes are part of human nature, but so is the ability to create solutions and find better alternatives. By using modern quality management tools we can shift the balance from errors towards solutions and better alternatives.
