Tfn Presents Making Weight

Hello, and welcome to your personal nutrition guide for making weight! This e-book seeks to provide athletes of all levels with a basic understanding of nutrition and how a dietary program based on your physiology--and your fitness goals--can enhance how your body responds during training, how it performs amid competition, and how it recovers after a fight. The first chapter is an overview of fight camp and how to fuel appropriately for your training sessions, but also how to manage food intake in order to slowly decrease your body weight. In the second chapter you will become familiar with nutrition tactics used by health professionals to acutely, and safely, manipulate weight loss the week prior to weigh-ins. The last two chapters provide you with information on how to rehydrate and recover properly from weigh-ins and optimize energy levels for maximal performance for your fight! All the information included in this e-book is merely a guideline, and it should be noted that individual needs and circumstances can affect the nutrition tactics discussed in this book. As a registered sports dietitian, The Fight Nutritionist performs more detailed, in-depth analysis, such as body composition tracking, evaluation of total body water and glycogen stores, sweat rates, consistent diet monitoring, re-calculation of nutrient and supplement needs, and athlete response to weight cutting and rehydration protocols. The Fight Nutritionist does utilize the guidelines included in this book, and her athletes have enjoyed great success when following them. All the information included in this book is consistent with current, evidence-based research.

This book presents the application of system analysis techniques with case studies to help readers learn how the techniques can be applied, how the problems are solved, and which sustainable management strategies can be reached.

In order to ensure environmentally responsible production and disposal of products, local governments are imposing stricter environmental regulations, some of which even require manufacturers to take back their products at the end of the product's useful life. These government regulations, together with increasing environmental awareness, have forced manufacturers to invest in environment-conscious manufacturing. The multiple Criteria Decision Making Techniques presented in this book can be employed to solve the problems of environment-conscious manufacturers in product design, logistics, disassembly and remanufacturing.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) system selection is one of the most important topics in an ERP implementation program that ensures the success of the system. Because of the inherent complexity of ERP systems, it is difficult and time consuming for the organization to select the suitable ERP software.

“This book provides a fresh approach to building a fashion business. I believe that both academics and startup businesses would find this book useful.” Karen Edwards, University of South Carolina, USA “I think that this text will be very useful to anyone working in fashion. I would certainly recommend it as reference reading to MBA students and to undergraduates who are taking entrepreneurship courses.” Thomai Serdari, New York University, USA Learn how to protect your business through prevention with a fashion compliance program. The book takes a merchandise-centric “how-to” approach. It explains the laws related to fashion compliance including, labeling, marketing, testing, importing and exporting, record keeping, and more. Written by a fashion-law expert, the book includes interviews with professionals and discusses the European Union apparel label law, as well as relevant United States' laws, to help you run your fashion business.

Scholars from various disciplines address the ethical perspective of changing food habits in general, and the promotion of healthy eating in particular.

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) has gained vast popularity for its ability to help make decisions in the presence of various similar and conflicting choices.This new volume applies the MCDM theory to solving problems and challenges in manufacturing environments. It discusses using MCDM computational methods to evaluate and select the most optimal solution or method for real-world, real-time manufacutring engineering issues. It details the decision-making process in relation materials selection; identification, assessment, and evaluation of risk; sustainability assessment; selection of green suppliers; and more. The chapter authors demonstrate the application of myriad MCDM techniques in decision-making, including MADM (multiple attribute decision-making), DEA (data envelopment analysis), fuzzy TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarities to ideal solution), fuzzy-VIKOR (multicriteria optimization and compromise solution); MOORA (multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis), EWM (entropy weight method), (AHP) analytic hierarchy process, TODIM (TOmada de Decisao Interativa Multicriterio), and others. The volume illustrates these MCDM models in several industries and industrial processes, including for experimental analysis and optimization of drilling of glass fiber reinforced plastic, in the textile industries, for selection of refrigerants for domestic applications, and others.

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making for Renewable Energy: Methods, Applications, and Challenges brings together the latest fuzzy and soft computing methods, models, and algorithms as applied to the field of renewable energy and supported by specific application examples and case studies. The book begins by approaching renewable energy sources, challenges and factors that affect their development, as well as green renewable energy sites and the utilization of fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques in these broad contexts, as well as utilization in addressing the various environmental, economic, and social barriers to ensuring the sustainability of energy resources. Detailed chapters focus on the application of multi-criteria decision-making methods for planning, modeling and prioritization in specific areas of renewable energy, including solar energy, wind farms, solar-powered hydrogen production plants, biofuel production, energy storage, hydropower, and marine energy. Finally, future opportunities and research directions are explored. Provides a set of multi-criteria techniques to address challenges across renewable energy Reviews and analyzes the current state-of-the-art and identifies future opportunities and directions Offers clear examples, case studies and practical applications of the described concepts
