The final section reviews nutritional programs for both child and adolescent athletes.

When variables and parameters within differential equations are not defined exactly but are vague, imprecise or incomplete due to errors in measurement or other factors, one may use fuzzy environment in parameters, variables and initial conditions in place of crisp ones, turning the general differential equations into Fuzzy Differential Equations (FDEs). This book presents reliable and efficient numerical techniques for the solution of FDEs viz. fuzzy ordinary and partial, fuzzy linear and nonlinear and fuzzy arbitrary order differential equations.

Critics claim that science, including social science, is 'merely a social construction' that fallible humans have created with words and other symbols. This title explains why the edifice of science has robust properties that make it one of the most useful forms of knowledge that humans have ever created, although it is not perfect.

Seaweed is used in many countries for very different purposes - directly as food, especially in sushi, as a source of phycocolloids, extraction of compounds with antiviral, antibacterial or antitumor activity and as biofertilizers. About four million tons of seaweed are harvested annually worldwide. Of the various species known, less than 20 account for 90% of the biomass exploited commercially. This book details 147 species of edible seaweed, including scientific name and respective common names, geographic location, nutritional composition, uses and is extensively illustrated.

This book introduces the mathematical foundation of Bayesian statistics. It is well known that Bayesian inference is more accurate than the maximum likelihood method in many real-world problems: however, its mathematical foundations have been left unexplained. Recently, new research on Bayesian statistics uncovered the mathematical laws by which the behavior of Bayesian inference can be estimated and the advances of Bayes estimation have been clarified. This book introduces such mathematical foundations to students and researchers.
