ALWAYS HUNGRY? will be both a relief and a revelation to many who struggle with weight. We''re not getting fat because we''re overeating; we''re overeating because we''re getting fat. In other words, what makes us constantly hungry, overweight, and undernourished is not a lack of will power, but a biological reaction to our present-day diet and lifestyle. Our fat cells are hoarding the nutrients from the food we eat instead of releasing them into the bloodstream to be used, triggering a starvation response that sets us up for failure: if we eat more, we''ll gain weight; if we eat less, we''ll slow our metabolism down and (again) gain weight. HELP! ALWAYS HUNGRY shows us how to break out of this cycle that is keeping us overweight. It helps us to: - re-programme our fat cells - tame humger - boost our metabolism - lose weight In a clear, compassionate, and authoritative voice, Dr Ludwig debunks the calorie myth that losing weight is simply a matter of eating less. He explains the science and the research behind our epidemic of overweightness and presents a detailed, highly structured plan to help us conquer the cravings.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a safe and promising modality for non-invasive, longitudinal, and quantitative evaluation in higher risk populations including pediatrics and obstetrics. The overall goal of this thesis is to develop quantitative MRI techniques for pediatric and in utero studies of disease. Progress with expansion and activation of immune cells has revived interest in cellular-based treatments against incurable or relapsed pediatric cancers. One of the technological shortcomings of translating cellular-based therapies from animal models to clinical application is the inability to non-invasively image therapeutically delivered cells after infusion. Furthermore, several pregnancy complications are correlated to vascular functional deficiencies impeding nutrient exchange in placental tissue, including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), maternal gestational hypertensive disorders as well as adverse birth outcomes. There is a clear need for non-invasive, quantitative assessment of vascular function of the placenta in early pregnancy to identify any developing pathophysiologic conditions before their clinical manifestation. MRI methods of immune cell detection and blood perfusion measurement can improve sensitivity to novel therapies and early disease without using ionizing radiation. To this end, a chemical shift encoded (CSE) fluorine-19 (19F) MRI acquisition and reconstruction is developed and optimized for quantitative imaging of complex cellular labels used to track immune cells. The CSE approach is applied to a 19F cell tracking agent used to detect natural killer (NK) cells in vivo and validation is performed with fluorescence microscopy. This work demonstrates advancements in 19F MRI techniques to detect and accurately quantify 19F concentrations. Additionally, we evaluate arterial spin labeling (ASL) with flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery (FAIR) to measure placental intervillous perfusion in a pregnant rhesus macaque model and compare with ferumoxytol dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. Differences in contrast dynamics of the endogenous blood label versus the injected ferumoxytol are used to delineate fast and slow components of blood arrival time. Regions of fast and slow arrival appear to be associated with functional units of the placenta that may be useful for measuring and monitoring placental function. Overall, the dissertation provides the foundation for developing longitudinal and quantitative MR techniques to assess immune cell dynamics and measure placental vascular function in human pregnancies.

Eindelijk een boek dat allerlei voedingsdogma''s doorprikt. Iedereen zou het moeten lezen. - Kris Verburgh, auteur van De Voedselzandloper Je zult versteld staan hoe eenvoudig afslanken kan zijn. - Pacale Naessens, auteur van o.a. de bestseller Puur Pascale Overwin je snaaizucht, hertrain je vetcellen en val voorgoed af Je wordt niet dik omdat je te veel eet: juist het proces van dikker worden, veroorzaakt meer trek. De craving vanuit je vetcellen zorgt ervoor dat je lichaam vraagt om méér. Niet minder eten, maar anders eten is de oplossing, predikt Harvard-hoogleraar David Ludwig na twee decennia onderzoek in zijn boek Altijd trek?. Vet is niet de vijand. Een donut heeft misschien wel hetzelfde aantal calorieën als een handje noten, maar het effect op je lichaam is totaal anders. Ludwigs pakkende en praktische boek rekent af met het snakken naar snaaien: dankzij hem gaan we weer goed eten, de juiste vetten tot ons nemen, luisteren naar ons lichaam en eindelijk een gezond gewicht bereiken. David Ludwig is hoogleraar Kindergeneeskunde op Harvard Medical School en hoogleraar Voedingsleer op Harvard School of Public Health. Ook is hij directeur van het New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center in het Boston Children’s Hospital, waar hij zich met een team van medici bezig houdt met het onderzoeken en bestrijden van obesitas bij kinderen. Heb je het gevoel dat diëten voor jou niet werkt, dat je altijd vervalt in oude eetgewoontes en telkens weer aankomt? Denk je dat het probleem bij jouw gebrek aan wilskracht ligt? Dan is dit een boek voor jou. Dr. David Ludwig legt je uit dat slank zijn eigenlijk niets heeft te maken met wilskracht, maar met natuurlijke processen in je lichaam die je makkelijk kunt veranderen door anders, beter en zelfs meer te eten. Een manier van eten waar je gelukkig van wordt. Je zult versteld staan hoe eenvoudig afslanken kan zijn. - Pacale Naessens, auteur van de bestsellers Puur Pascale, Puur eten, Puur genieten en Puur genieten en toch gezond en slank Professor Ludwig legt heel helder uit waarom de angst coor calorieën en vet ongegrond is en hoe je je lekkere trek onder controle kunt krijgen. - Jacob Seidell, hoogleraar voeding en gezondheid en auteur van Het voedsellabyrint Als je dit jaar een dieetboek gaat kopen, zorg dan dat het dit boek is. - MindBodyGreen

This book challenges common debates in philosophy of mind by questioning the framework of placement problems in contemporary metaphysics. The author argues that placement problems arise when exactly one fundamental ontology serves as the base for all entities, and will propose a pluralist alternative that takes the diversity of our conceptual resources and ontologies seriously. This general pluralist account is applied to issues in philosophy of mind to argue that contemporary debates about the mind-body problem are built on this problematic framework of placement problems. The starting point is the plurality of ontologies in scientific practice. Not only can we describe the world in terms of physical, biological, or psychological ontologies, but any serious engagement with scientific ontologies will identify more specific ontologies in each domain. For example, there is not one unified ontology for biology, but rather a diversity of scientific specializations with different ontological needs. Based on this account of scientific practice the author argues that there is no reason to assume that ontological unification must be possible everywhere. Without this ideal, the scope of ontological unification turns out to be an open empirical question and there is no need to present unification failures as philosophically puzzling “placement problems”.

After Randy Newman is released from a Vietcong POW camp in 1969, The Homecoming that takes place back in America isn''t the one he expected. Thrust back to a world he hasn''t seen in six years, Randy is confused and begins having hallucinations. At a train station, he sees a poster of a boy and girl on the beach. The girl transforms into Natalie, his first love, and his search begins. Meanwhile, Natalie''s life hasn''t turned out the way she imagined either. In the years Randy was away in Vietnam, Natalie clings to the hope he will eventually return. But about the time he does set foot back in California, Natalie has just met another man and thinks she''s falling in love. As Randy watches war demonstrations and senses the dark mood of the nation, he turns to drink and other women, but Natalie is still in his heart. Not knowing that she is in an abusive relationship, he vows to leave California and start life anew elsewhere - until he and Natalie finally meet face to face. Author David Ludwig Eggert brings us back to the days of California surfer dudes and anti-war demonstrations. Raised in Long Beach, California, he now lives in Washington State. The author of several books, Eggert''s own favorite writers are Ian Fleming, James Michener, John Jakes, Steven King, John D. McDonald and Herman Wouk.

Herausgegeben von Barbara Hoster, Roman Malek und Katharina Wenzel-Teuber Der vorliegende Band stellt erstmals die im Shanghaier Exil (1940-1949) entstandenen Holzschnitte von David Ludwig Bloch gesammelt vor. Der seit seiner Kindheit gehorlose Kunstler (geb. 1910) stammt aus dem oberpfalzischen Floss. 1940 floh er, wie Tausende anderer europaischer Juden, vor den nationalsozialistischen Juden-verfolgungen in die ostchinesische Hafenstadt Shanghai. Trotz der schwierigen Lebensbedingungen als Fluchtling schuf David Ludwig Bloch dort ein reichhaltiges Werk von fast 300 Holzschnitten. Es vermittelt ein lebendiges und facettenreiches Panorama des chinesischen Alltags im Shanghai der vierziger Jahre und zeugt von der Anteilnahme des Kunstlers am Leben der "kleinen Leute" wie Rikschakulis und Bettler. Die Texte in diesem Band sind dreisprachig (deutsch, englisch, chinesisch). "Ein besonders eindruckliches und in dieser Intensitat wohl einmaliges Beispiel der kunstlerischen Auseinandersetzung eines Shanghai-Exilanten mit seiner chinesischen Umgebung stellen die Holzschnitte des gelernten Porzellanmalers uund Graphikers David Ludwig Bloch dar." Michael Philipp in Zwischenwelt. Zeitschrift fur Kultur des Exils und des Widerstands ..." l''ouvrage illustre parfaitement certains aspects socio-culturels du Shanghai des annees quarante." Francoise Kreissler in Revue Bibliographique de Sinologie"

The purpose of this report is to provide guidance for conducting ERAs for use by risk assessors at Navy, Air Force, and Army installations. Each of the three services has a support center which is available to provide guidance and programatic services. The three members are: U.S. Army Environmental Center (AEC), Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center, and the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence. Using this approach will provide the Tri- Service Centers with cost-effective, tiered procedures with which to direct and coordinate the scientific and technical efforts of contractors involved in ERA. Employing a common framework across sites will assure that the requirements of state and federal regulators are satisfied. The process described in this report follows the paradigm put forward in the 1992 Environmental Protection Agency Report entitled ''Framework for Ecological Risk Assessment.'' Volume 2 contains information on more than 100 environmental models and test methods.
