Book Description
Anna Norton used to be fat. Correction: Anna Norton used to be a fat, nerdy, overeater with low self esteem. When she moves from suburban Ohio to Manhattan at age 23, her life does a total 180. With guidance from her boss, an unlikely Fairy Godmother in the form of a chic caterer and excellent cook, Anna loses all the weight and--though still not quite Kate Moss--finally drops her inferiority complex, brushes the crumbs off her skirt, and enters the world of feeling good, looking good, and...finally having sex. When Anna meets Ben, the man of her dreams (and of every other person's dreams who isn't blind) she almost can't believe she is dating the Ken Doll. Deep down, she is still the chubby nerd who wrote in a diary called Hello Fatty. But not everything is perfect; her hot boyfriend is a huge flirt, and every leggy blond who crosses his path is a threat to Anna. She just can't escape the feeling that Ben is way out of her league and that everyone thinks she is dating up and he's dating down. It gets so bad, she decides she will do anything to make these women go away. Enter the Makedown. The reverse makeover. As Anna was made up, so will Ben be made down. Where she went from shabby to chic, he will go from prince to frog. Anna will sabotage his hotness for the sake of her own sanity, and to bring this man into more of what she considers her own league. Enter Nair to induce premature balding, Sears catalogs to inspire bad dressing, and secret additions of cream to her cooking and SKOR bars in granola bar wrappers to induce weight gain. Hilarity ensues, but in the end, Anna must find out if Ben's makedown will save their relationship, or end it.

Agitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals
Author: Gregory T. Benz
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119815495
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Agitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals Comprehensive guide to the design, installation, selection, and maintenance of agitators in the biofuels and renewable chemicals industries Agitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals is a single-source reference on all the major issues related to agitator design for biofuel, written with the intention of saving the reader time by avoiding the need to consult multiple references or sift through many pages of text to find what is needed for agitator design in specific industries. The work presents a brief introduction of basic principles and relevant theory, then goes on to cover the real-world applications of these principles, including economic evaluations of alternatives as well as supplier evaluation principles. To aid in quick and seamless reader comprehension, each chapter has the symbols used in that chapter listed and defined at the end. Overall, the work is written more as a how-to book than an academic treatise. The highly qualified author has included plenty of brevity throughout the pages with the hopes that readers go through the entire book as a single unit, rather than just skimming an occasional page or chapter as is common with other resources in similar fields. Sample topics covered in the work include: Avoiding common problems, such as using impeller diameters and speeds that would not result in even minimal solids suspension or liquid motion Choosing the right impellers for the job, understanding how power draw and pumping are calculated, and becoming familiar with biofuel/biomass agitator sizing guidelines The principles and limitations of scale-up and the most common non-Newtonian rheology applicable to biofuel applications Designing lab tests and scale-up cellulosic hydrolysis agitation, plus the uses and limitations of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) As an easy-to-read and completely comprehensive resource to the subject, Agitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals is immensely valuable for professionals tasked with selecting agitation equipment or troubleshooting existing equipment, as well as those involved in planning activities and allocating resources related to project management.

Preservation of Surfactant Formulations
Author: F. Morpeth
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401106215
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
Microbes are known to live in an enormous range of environments. Their ability to survive and proliferate in diverse industrial systems is often a surprise to those not exposed to these problems in their work. These systems contain a range of potential carbon sources, one common theme being surfactants. Surfactants are often not the components most prone to spoilage since some systems contain highly susceptible natural components, such as starch and xanthum gum, but the surfactant is a key part of the formulation, and its extensive breakdown usually means that the material is beyond recovery. The aim of this book is to describe in detail all aspects of the preservation of surfactant containing materials. The book should be viewed as being in three discrete sections. • chapters 1-5 deal with and summarise essential background information • chapters 6-11 discuss in detail various end use applications • chapters 12-15 outline the regulatory and toxicology implication associated with the safe handling of preservatives Given the format of the book there is inevitably some duplication of information in the middle section with different authors describing essentially the same phenomena but on different substrates. I hope the reader will find that although different chapters touch on the same topics the information around these areas is sufficiently different to justify their inclusion in this book and to be of interest. It should also demonstrate what can be the most useful source of information, the hard practical experience of the authors.

Practical Dispersion
Author: R. F. Conley
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471186403
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
Ein Handbuch für die Praxis der Dispersionstechnologie: Weitverstreute Daten aus der Literatur, technische Details und ausgewählte theoretische Grundlagen wurden zu einer übersichtlichen, gut verständlichen Darstellung aufbereitet, die nicht mit Mathematik und komplizierten Zusammenhängen überfrachtet ist. An zahlreichen Beispielen wird erklärt, wie sich verschiedene Dispersionszustände in den Eigenschaften des Produkts widerspiegeln; die Wirkung eines Dispersionsmittels wird auf stoffliche Aspekte, nicht Handelsnamen zurückgeführt. Der Anwender wird in die Lage versetzt, 'seine' Dispersionen gezielt zu verändern, um mechanischen, chemischen und ökologischen Anforderungen der Kunden gerecht zu werden. Mit Herstellerlisten für die technische Ausrüstung! Geschrieben in erster Linie für die industrielle Praxis - weniger für akademische Forschung und Lehre.
