This newest addition to the Nutrition and Health series focuses on nutrition¿s key role in lifestyle interventions to prevent and manage diseases. The book pays particular attention to nutritional considerations related to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Edited by cardiologist, Dr. James Rippe, a well-known expert in the nascent specialty of Lifestyle Medicine, Nutrition in Lifestyle Medicine will also focus on a variety of specialized areas such as nutrition for athletes and physically active individuals, hydration, and nutrition throughout the life cycle (spanning from children to individuals over the age of 60). In addition, chapters will be included on controversies in nutrition, such as health effects of added sugars and saturated fatty acids in the diet. Finally, specialized chapters will be included in such areas as nutrition for women, nutrition for men, nutrition for latinos, the use of supplements, communication about nutrition, public policy issues, and the interface between nutrition and physical activity.Lifestyle Medicine, supported by the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Rippe¿s textbook Lifestyle Medicine (CRC Press, 2013) and American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), is a new national medicine specialty that stresses the use of lifestyle interventions in the treatment and management of disease. Its practitioners effectively manage medical treatments alongside the lifestyle interventions, for example lowering insulin treatment for patients with diabetes, reducing the dose of anti-hypertension medications for people with hypertension, and prescribing certain medical interventions that aid in smoking cessation.

In combination, maldigestion, malabsorption, and increased metabolic demands pose a high hurdle for the patient to overcome in order to maintain optimal nutritional status.Nutrition in Cystic Fibrosis: A Guide for Clinicians is an excellent resource for physicians, nurses and dietitians who deliver care for patients with cystic fibrosis.

Mit diesem Band über die am häufigsten verwendeten statistischen Methoden wenden wir uns an einen breiten Kreis von Wissenschaftern und Studenten. Biologen, Medizinern, Ingenieuren, Wirtschaftswissenschaftern und Soziologen wird gezeigt, in welcher Art und Weise Varianzanalyse und Regressionsrechnung beim Auswerten von Beobachtungen und Versuchen anzuwenden sind. Das Buch, als Statistische Methoden Il bezeichnet, schliesst an unsere Ausführungen in Elementare statistische Methoden (UTB 796) an; auf dieses 1979 veröffentlichte Buch nehmen wir jeweils als Band I Bezug. Die neue Nume­ rierung erscheint uns auch deshalb gerechtfertigt, weil für die multivariaten Methoden ein eigener Band III geplant ist; die­ ser wird bald erscheinen. Um das Buch, soweit dies sinnvoll ist, in sich abge­ schlossen zu halten, sind gewisse Teile aus Band I nochmals in knapper Weise entwickelt worden; davon betroffen sind vor allem die einfache Varianzanalyse und die einfache lineare Regression. Wir wiederholen auch die wichtigsten Tafeln. Im Kapitel 1 stellen wir einige Begriffe aus der Wahr­ scheinlichkeitsrechnung, die elementaren Tests und die Grundzüge des Schätzens von Parametern zusammen. Kapi­ tel 2 bringt die varianzanalytischen Methoden, von der einfa­ chen bis zur dreifachen Klassierung. Wir gehen dabei auch auf die Probleme bei ungleichen Besetzungszahlen ein. Die Regressionsrechnung im Kapitel 3 beginnt mit dem einfachen Fall einer einzigen unabhängigen Variablen, dann wird über zwei Regressoren zum allgemeinen Fall von p Regressoren er­ weitert. Anschliessend an diese Grundlagen betrachten wir verschiedene Formen der nichtlinearen Regression, sowie die Spezialfälle der periodischen Regression und der Regression mit Anteilen und Anzahlen.

Since publication of the initial papers in 2006, compressed sensing has captured the imagination of the international signal processing community, and the mathematical foundations are nowadays quite well understood.Parallel to the progress in mathematics, the potential applications of compressed sensing have been explored by many international groups of, in particular, engineers and applied mathematicians, achieving very promising advances in various areas such as communication theory, imaging sciences, optics, radar technology, sensor networks, or tomography.Since many applications have reached a mature state, the research center MATHEON in Berlin focusing on "Mathematics for Key Technologies", invited leading researchers on applications of compressed sensing from mathematics, computer science, and engineering to the "MATHEON Workshop 2013: Compressed Sensing and its Applications¿ in December 2013. It was the first workshop specifically focusing on the applications of compressed sensing. This book features contributions by the plenary and invited speakers of this workshop. To make this book accessible for those unfamiliar with compressed sensing, the book will not only contain chapters on various applications of compressed sensing written by plenary and invited speakers, but will also provide a general introduction into compressed sensing.The book is aimed at both graduate students and researchers in the areas of applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering as well as other applied scientists interested in the potential and applications of the novel methodology of compressed sensing. For those readers who are not already familiar with compressed sensing, an introduction to the basics of this theory will be included.
