This book represents a valuable contribution to civil engineering, mechanical engineering, naval architecture and nanotechnology. It includes an analytical solution of Timoshenko beam response due to moving gravity and inertia force. The problem is solved by the modified Timoshenko beam theory, which deals with a 4th order partial differential equation in terms of pure bending deflection. A differential equation is transformed into modal equations by the Galerkin and the energy balance method. Gravity force excites linear vibrations which are solved in the frequency domain, while the inertia...

Seeds are exceptionally important in human nutrition because they contain a high percentage of proteins, minerals and vitamins, enzymes, fats and carbohydrates. The seed holds all the energy of a plant and a concentration of all the nutrients that the plant needs to grow and develop. They are very energy-rich and therefore highly recommended for periods of strenuous mental work and intellectual activity. Seeds contain very high amounts of phosphorus, as much as 20 times higher than fish meat which is known as a good source of this element. Seeds are a source of life and reproduction and the...
