This book represents a comprehensive and unique overview covering different aspects (raw materials, technological innovations, and potential applications) concerning waste and by-products of the food industry. Wastes and by-products of the agri-food chain represent a rich source of active molecules that can be usefully employed in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Eco-friendly extraction procedures able to isolate the different components of the agri-food by-products represent an attractive challenge to increase the waste's value, and, at the same time, solve the issues usually related to their disposal. Each of the 12 chapters in Nutraceutics from Agri-Food By-Products deeply analyses a specific agri-food chain, highlighting the main components recovered in the processing of food, seafood, and dairy wastes and by-products. Specifically, a green approach to the extraction of active molecules is described, as well as the industrial application of agri-food wastes and by-products, and their chemical, physical, and biological properties. Such properties are suitable for use in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical fields. This circular approach could be usefully employed in the industry to develop and commercialize new nutraceuticals and/or functional food that guarantee a considerable increase in the economic worth of the wastes, while producing beneficial effects on human health. Audience Food technologists and biotechnologists in research and industry as well as researchers in pharmaceutical sciences.

Advanced guidance for institutional investors, academics, and researchers on how to manage a portfolio of private capital funds. The Art of Commitment Pacing: Engineering Allocations to Private Capital provides a much-needed analysis of the issues that face investors as they incorporate closed ended-funds targeting illiquid private assets (such as private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate) into their portfolios. These private capital funds, once considered 'alternative' and viewed as experimental, are becoming an increasingly standard component of institutional asset allocations. However, many investors still follow management approaches that remain anchored in the portfolio theory for liquid assets but that often lead to disappointing results when applied to portfolios of private capital funds where practically investorsremain committed over nearly a decade. When planning for such commitments, investment managers and researchers are faced with practical questions such as: How to measure and control the real exposure to private assets? How to forecast cash-flows for commitments to private capital funds? What ranges for their returns and lifetime are realistic, and how can the investor's skill be factored in? Over which dimensions should a portfolio be diversified and how much diversification is enough? How can the impact of co-investments or secondaries be modelled? How to design pacing plans that lead to resilient and efficient portfolios? What stress scenarios should be considered and how can they be applied? These are just examples of the many questions for which answers are provided. The Art of Commitment Pacing describes established and new methodologies for building up and controlling allocations to such investments.This book offers a systematic approach for building up and controlling allocations to such investments. The Art of Commitment Pacing is a valuable addition to the libraries of investment managers, as well as portfolio and risk managers involved in institutional investment. The book will also be of interest to advanced students of finance, researchers, and other practitioners who require a detailed understanding of forecasting and portfolio management methodologies.

A practical approach to clinical interventions applicable to a range of mental health diagnoses Integrated Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) for Adults is a guide for practitioners looking for evidence-based clinical interventions that are portable across settings and diagnoses. Written in plain English and with an emphasis on step-by-step instructions, this valuable toolkit collects strategies and interventions that have been shown to be effective in substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, and beyond. This widely applicable treatment approach draws on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, mindfulness, functional analysis, and other methods that are strongly supported in the literature. With content reflecting emerging research findings and evolving social contexts, this book is both timely and firmly rooted in science. After presenting a set of proven techniques for motivational interviewing and CBT, this book details a 16-session course designed to fit within conventional models of therapeutic practice. Each session covers a cognitive behavioral skill (e.g., assertiveness, handling cravings, suicidality) and builds upon the previous sessions, but they also work as standalone interventions and do not have to be followed in a particular order. The book also offers additional tools to promote intervention quality and clinical supervision. Worksheets, handouts, and other materials are included in photocopiable format, making this a valuable guide in all outpatient mental health settings. Learn the fundamentals of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other evidence-based treatment modalities Get practical clinical tools, including step-by-step session guides on cognitive behavioral skills relevant to a range of diagnoses Access self-assessments, clinical supervision tools, and other resources to enhance clinical effectiveness Incorporate emerging research, changing social contexts, and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic into your practice Earlier editions of this guide focused on addressing substance use disorders and cooccurring disorders. This edition is applicable to those disorders but reflects that these clinical strategies are transdiagnostic.
