About this product: With a record number of overweight people and an alarming increase in degenerative diseases, many of us find ourselves turning to meds or fad diets in an effort to drop excess pounds or recover our health. Since most drugs come with dangerous side effects, modifying our diet would seem relatively safe and simple. But what if our foods were doing more harm than good, and fad diets only made matters worse? Deadly Harvest is a groundbreaking book that carefully examines how the foods we eat today have little in common with the foods of our ancestors, and why this fact is so important to our health. It also offers a proven program to enhance health, combat illness, and improve longevity. Author Geoff Bond is a nutritional anthropologist who has for years investigated both foods of the past and our prehistoric eating habits. Using the latest scientific research and studies of primitive tribal lifestyles, Bond first explains the actual diet that our ancestors followed--a diet that was and still is in harmony with the human species. He then describes how the foods in today's diets disrupt our biochemistry and digestive system, leading to health disorders such as allergies, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, obesity, and more. Most important, he explains the appropriate measures we can take to avoid these diseases--and even beat them back--through healthy eating. Contrary to what many people believe, the disorders that plague our society are not inevitable, but are the unfortunate result of modern dietary choices. Deadly Harvest not only explains why these problems have arisen, but offers a blueprint for improving our diet, our health, and our quality of life.

Description: The mobilization of an oil bank under the combined effect of Bond (N"B) and capillary (N"C) numbers, in a packed bed column of glass beads saturated with water, has been investigated. In order to reach the irreducible saturation the experiments have been run with sweeping water velocities outside the range of validity of the Darcy's law. The size of the glass beads was varied in the range between 2mm and 5mm. The oils used for the tests are hexadecane and hexane with viscosities different for an order of magnitude and densities smaller than that of water, and @a-methylnaphthalene, which has a density very close to that of water, in order to single out the effect of the capillary number on the mobilization process. The plots of oil saturation as function of the trapping number (N"T), which is the vectorial sum of N"B and N"C, are reported and a mobilization diagram is drawn. Furthermore, a few tests in a basin, simulating an aquifer at a laboratory scale, have proved that the results obtained in the packed column are useful for determining the fate of a spill of oil above an aquifer. For these experiments also perchloroethylene (PCE), which has a density greater than that of water, has been used.

From the supplier: The effect of taxes on interest earned upon capital accumulation and inflation is discussed within an overlapping generations model. It is shown that an increase in such a tax is likely to reduce both the capital stock and the inflation rate. The model is extended to include the case of a small open economy, where the effect on the external debt is discussed. Some simulation results demonstrate the magnitude of the effects. The model is used to discuss the macroeconomic effects of financial liberalization. (Printed by permission of the publisher.)

Description: This study investigates the announcement and issuance effects of offering convertible bonds and exchangeable bonds using data for the Swiss and German markets during January 1996 and May 2003. The analysis suggests that announcement effects of convertible bonds and exchangeable bonds are associated with significantly negative abnormal returns. German firms exhibit a stronger reaction than Swiss firms, possibly for institutional reasons. We also investigate the effect of the market return of the announcement effect and find that the negative abnormal returns are significantly more pronounced when previous market returns have been negative. Furthermore, we analyze the relation between the announcement effects and equity components by controlling for the equity signal sent to the market. We find the size of the equity component of an issue to have a strong influence on the announcement effect for convertible but not for exchangeable securities and offer an explanation for this difference.

From the author: In this study we confirm earlier theoretical research findings that differences in the rating scale are responsible for split ratings. We also document that rating scale differences are not the sole explanation for split ratings. The methodology, in measuring the magnitude and documenting of the problem, is new. We first develop an illustrative example by creating two different hypothetical grading scales across two universities and find the patterns in student grades at the two universities. We then compare these results with bond ratings to find of similar patterns exist. The prior empirical research on bond ratings provides strong validation to our analysis. We show that about one-third of the bond split ratings are due to the differences in ratings scales, while the remaining two-thirds are due to the other reasons.

Description: This study evaluated the effect of a number of chemicals on the internal bond (IB) strength and bond durability of phenolic-bonded structural fiberboard (medium density fiberboard) panels. Borax (BX), boric acid (BA), monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and phosphoric acid (PA) were sprayed onto the fibers made from 50% pine (Pinus nigra Arnold var. pallasiana) and 50% beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) woods at 2%, 4%, and 6% retention levels based on oven-dry fiber weight. The panels were tested for unaged IB strength (dry), and IB strength (aged), after cyclic-accelerated aging, according to the procedures defined by European Norm (DIN EN) 321 (1999). Unaged IB and aged IB values of all the treated specimens at three retention levels were significantly decreased when compared to untreated control values. The IB strength and bond durability of all the treated panels decreased with increasing chemical content. BX-treated specimens had the best IB strength and bond durability, followed by DAP-, MAP-, BA-, and PA-treated specimens, respectively.

Description: When calling its convertible bonds, a company must typically give bondholders a notice period of about 30 days to decide whether to convert the bonds. This notice period affects the optimal call policy for convertible bonds. After accounting for the notice period, convertible bonds in our sample would have been optimally called when the stock was at about an 11% premium (median) relative to the conversion price. We show that after properly accounting for the call notice period and other factors, the median excess call premium is less than 4%-substantially less than the 26-44% call premium previous researchers have documented.
