With the completion of sequencing projects and the advancement of
a- lytical tools for protein identification, proteomics-the study
of the expressed part of the genome-has become a major region of
the burgeoning field of functional genomics. High-resolution 2-D
gels can reveal virtually all p- teins present in a cell or tissue
at any given time, including posttranslationally modified proteins.
Changes in the expression and structure of most cellular proteins
caused by differentiation or external stimuli can be displayed and
eventually identified using 2-D protein gels. 2-D Proteome Analysis
Protocols covers all aspects of the use of 2-D protein
electrophoresis for the analysis of biological problems. The
contri- tors include many of the leaders in the fields of
biochemistry and analytical chemistry who were instrumental in the
development of high-resolution 2-D gels, immobilized pH gradients,
computer analysis, and mass spectromet- based protein
identification methodologies. This book is intended as a benchtop
manual and guide both for novices to 2-D gels and for those
aficionados who wish to try the newer techniques. Any group using
protein biochemistry-especially in the fields of molecular biology,
biochemistry, microbiology, and cell biology-should find this book
eminently useful. 2-D Proteome Analysis Protocols takes the
researcher through the c- plete process of working with 2-D protein
gels from making the protein - tract to finally identifying the
proteins of interest. It includes protocols for generating 2-D
protein extracts from most of the standard model organisms,
including bacteria, yeast, nematode, Drosophila, plants, mouse, and
human.
This open access book examines how the form of the list features as
a tool for meaning-making in the genre of detective fiction from
the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book analyzes how
both readers and detectives rely on listing as an ordering and
structuring tool, and highlights the crucial role that lists assume
in the reading process. It extends the boundaries of an emerging
field dedicated to the study of lists in literature and caters to a
newly revived interest in form and New Formalist approaches in
narratological research. The central aim of this book is to show
how detective fiction makes use of lists in order to frame various
conceptions of knowledge. The frames created by these lists are
crucial to decoding the texts, and they can be used to demonstrate
how readers can be engaged in the act of detection or manipulated
into accepting certain propositions in the text.

This dynamic text on human behavior takes a unique international
perspective to introduce students to the concepts of large social
systems and development. Social workers now practice in an
increasingly global context for reasons ranging from migration to
international adoptions to developments in technology.
Understanding these global connections is essential to social
workers today. Human Behavior in a Just World emphasizes the
"common human condition" between people, and encourages students to
see the powerful connections between environmental conditions and
behavior. The authors address key elements of human behavior
through a global lens, and discuss powerful global policy
instruments and resources, such as the United Nations. Engaging
North American and global case studies illustrate the theories in
practice.
Unique in its use of a sustainability framework, Social Welfare
Policy for a Sustainable Future goes beyond U.S. borders to examine
U.S. government policies-including child welfare, social services,
health care, and criminal justice-within a global context. Guided
by the belief that forces from the global market and globalization
affect all social workers in their practice, the book addresses a
wide range of relevant topics, including the refugee journey, the
impact of new technologies, war trauma, global policy instruments,
and restorative justice. A sustainability policy analysis model and
an ecosystems framework for trauma-informed care are also presented
in this timely text.
A new global history of Fordism from the Great Depression to the
postwar era As the United States rose to ascendancy in the first
decades of the twentieth century, observers abroad associated
American economic power most directly with its burgeoning
automobile industry. In the 1930s, in a bid to emulate and
challenge America, engineers from across the world flocked to
Detroit. Chief among them were Nazi and Soviet specialists who
sought to study, copy, and sometimes steal the techniques of
American automotive mass production, or Fordism. Forging Global
Fordism traces how Germany and the Soviet Union embraced Fordism
amid widespread economic crisis and ideological turmoil. This
incisive book recovers the crucial role of activist states in
global industrial transformations and reconceives the global
thirties as an era of intense competitive development, providing a
new genealogy of the postwar industrial order. Stefan Link uncovers
the forgotten origins of Fordism in Midwestern populism, and shows
how Henry Ford's antiliberal vision of society appealed to both the
Soviet and Nazi regimes. He explores how they positioned themselves
as America's antagonists in reaction to growing American hegemony
and seismic shifts in the global economy during the interwar years,
and shows how Detroit visitors like William Werner, Ferdinand
Porsche, and Stepan Dybets helped spread versions of Fordism abroad
and mobilize them in total war. Forging Global Fordism challenges
the notion that global mass production was a product of post-World
War II liberal internationalism, demonstrating how it first began
in the global thirties, and how the spread of Fordism had a
distinctly illiberal trajectory.

Global knowledge is increasingly essential for all aspects of
social work. Today's professionals respond to concerns including
permeable borders, the upheavals of war, displaced workers, natural
disasters, international adoption, and human trafficking.
Everywhere, social workers work with service users and colleagues
from diverse cultures and countries. Globally relevant concepts
such as human rights, development, and inclusion offer new
perspectives to enhance policy and practice and facilitate the
international exchange of ideas. This handbook is the first major
reference text to provide a solid foundation of knowledge for
students and researchers alike. The extensive collection of 73
chapters confirms the integral and necessary nature of
international social work knowledge to all areas of practice,
policy, and research. Chapters systematically map the key issues,
organizations, competencies, training and research needs, and
ethical guidelines central to international social work practice
today, emphasizing the linkages among social work, development, and
human rights practice. In-depth country case studies and policy
examples encourage readers to understand how their practice in
social work touches on international issues, regardless of whether
the work is done at home or abroad. Representing all regions of the
world, a wide range of contributors that are leaders in their
fields have put together an exhaustive collection that represents
the state-of-play of international social work today.

Unique in its use of a human rights framework, Social Work and
Social Welfare goes beyond U.S. borders to examine U.S. government
policies - including child welfare, social services, health care,
and criminal justice - within a global context. Guided by the
belief that forces from the global market and predominant political
ideologies affect all social workers in their practice, the book
addresses a wide range of relevant topics, including the refugee
journey, the impact of new technologies, war trauma, environmental
justice, and restorative justice. As a general textbook, the
content is organized to follow course outlines for basic,
introductory courses which examine social welfare programs,
policies, and issues.
This new publication is superb... the best book, even by the
standards of this publisher, in a very long time. - The Journal of
Laryngology & Otology The definitive resource on clinical
management of vestibular schwannoma from world renowned experts
Although a histologically benign and relatively uncommon tumor,
otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons have maintained a lasting and
deep-rooted fascination with vestibular schwannoma, also known as
acoustic neuroma. Advancements in microsurgical technique,
radiosurgery, and radiotherapy, coupled with an increased
understanding of the natural history of the disease, have made
modern management of this tumor considerably more complex.
Concurrently, new controversies have added to the original debates
among pioneering surgeons, with the pendulum swinging between
conservatism and definitive cure. Comprehensive Management of
Vestibular Schwannoma, by distinguished Mayo Clinic clinicians and
renowned international contributors, is a comprehensive textbook
covering all the clinical aspects of vestibular schwannoma
management. Eighty-four chapters written by multidisciplinary
experts including otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, radiation
oncologists, neurologists, neuroradiologists, and audiologists,
ensure a balanced view of all treatment modalities for sporadic and
neurofibromatosis type 2-associated vestibular schwannoma. Key
Features Evaluation, surgical and nonsurgical approaches,
rehabilitation, controversies, and long-term clinical outcomes
Detailed illustrations by Robert Morreale, senior medical
illustrator at the Mayo Clinic, highlight relevant anatomy and
surgical approaches Chapter summary tables provide readers with a
rapid clinical reference derived from the published world
literature The chapter "Anatomy of Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery"
by the late internationally renowned neurosurgeon Albert L. Rhoton
Jr. reflects his major contributions on this subject With inclusion
of fundamental principles to advanced concepts, this is a robust
resource for residents, fellows, and early attending physicians, as
well as mid- to later-career physicians who care for patients with
vestibular schwannoma. This book includes complimentary access to a
digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
