Public Economics: A Concise Introduction provides a concise and
non-technical overview of the role of government in the economy.
Using the questions 'why?', 'what for?' and 'how?', the text
initially surveys the place of the public sector in a market
economy. It then considers the possible reasons which could justify
government involvement. Next, the book examines the aims of state
economic activity, and the instruments which a government has at
its disposal. Lastly, the final chapter provides an illuminating
tour of economic history and history of economic thought in
relation to government economic activity. The book offers an
international focus throughout, with examples taken from all over
the globe. Readers are supported with a range of pedagogical
features, including example boxes, chapter objectives and
summaries, and end-of-chapter multiple choice and reflection
questions. Public Economics: A Concise Introduction will be a
valuable text for students on courses in public economics, welfare
economics, public finance, public policy and related areas.

Marine environment can be affected by several pollutants such as
the presence of elements and their chemical species,
pharmaceuticals, nanoparticles and other emerging contaminants.
Environmental monitoring can be assessed by genomics, proteomics
(i.e. redox proteomics), chemical speciation analysis and
metallomics, metabolomics as well as other advanced strategies. The
present book is a useful methodological tool for researchers and
specialists in the field of analytical chemistry, environmental
sciences, biochemistry, genomics and toxicology. The book includes
for the first time the methodological aspects and applications
related to chemical speciation and -omics strategies applied to
marine environment.
This introduction to cryptography employs a programming-oriented
approach to study the most important cryptographic schemes in
current use and the main cryptanalytic attacks against them.
Discussion of the theoretical aspects, emphasizing precise security
definitions based on methodological tools such as complexity and
randomness, and of the mathematical aspects, with emphasis on
number-theoretic algorithms and their applications to cryptography
and cryptanalysis, is integrated with the programming approach,
thus providing implementations of the algorithms and schemes as
well as examples of realistic size. A distinctive feature of the
author's approach is the use of Maple as a programming environment
in which not just the cryptographic primitives but also the most
important cryptographic schemes are implemented following the
recommendations of standards bodies such as NIST, with many of the
known cryptanalytic attacks implemented as well. The purpose of the
Maple implementations is to let the reader experiment and learn,
and for this reason the author includes numerous examples. The book
discusses important recent subjects such as homomorphic encryption,
identity-based cryptography and elliptic curve cryptography. The
algorithms and schemes which are treated in detail and implemented
in Maple include AES and modes of operation, CMAC, GCM/GMAC,
SHA-256, HMAC, RSA, Rabin, Elgamal, Paillier, Cocks IBE, DSA and
ECDSA. In addition, some recently introduced schemes enjoying
strong security properties, such as RSA-OAEP, Rabin-SAEP,
Cramer--Shoup, and PSS, are also discussed and implemented. On the
cryptanalysis side, Maple implementations and examples are used to
discuss many important algorithms, including birthday and
man-in-the-middle attacks, integer factorization algorithms such as
Pollard's rho and the quadratic sieve, and discrete log algorithms
such as baby-step giant-step, Pollard's rho, Pohlig--Hellman and
the index calculus method. This textbook is suitable for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students of computer science,
engineering and mathematics, satisfying the requirements of various
types of courses: a basic introductory course; a theoretically
oriented course whose focus is on the precise definition of
security concepts and on cryptographic schemes with reductionist
security proofs; a practice-oriented course requiring little
mathematical background and with an emphasis on applications; or a
mathematically advanced course addressed to students with a
stronger mathematical background. The main prerequisite is a basic
knowledge of linear algebra and elementary calculus, and while some
knowledge of probability and abstract algebra would be helpful, it
is not essential because the book includes the necessary background
from these subjects and, furthermore, explores the number-theoretic
material in detail. The book is also a comprehensive reference and
is suitable for self-study by practitioners and programmers.

Teaching content and measuring content are frequently considered
separate entities when designing teaching instruction. This can
create a disconnect between how students are taught and how well
they succeed when it comes time for assessment. To heal this rift,
the theory of meaningful learning is a potential solution for
designing effective teaching-learning and assessment materials.
em>Design and Measurement Strategies for Meaningful Learning
considers the best practices, challenges, and opportunities of

Las lectinas son glicoproteinas que reconocen monosacaridos u
oligosacaridos con una especificidad similar a los anticuerpos,
hecho que las hace una valiosa herramienta analitica en el estudio
de la glicosilacion de las proteinas de exportacion, a las que se
incorporan y/o modifican azucares durante su recorrido por el
reticulo endoplasmico rugoso y el Complejo de Golgi. Las
colinesterasas son glicoproteinas que requieren de la glicosilacion
en sitios potenciales, que es importante para la biosintesis,
secrecion, estabilidad termica y proteolitica, y para su vida media
en la circulacion sanguinea. La desnutricion calorico-proteinica
grave es una enfermedad incidente en Mexico, produce efectos
deletereos en la fisiologia de los organismos expuestos a esta. Los
modelos animales representan una cercania para el estudio de los
efectos en los niveles celulares y moleculares. Se presentan los
resultados del analisis de los efectos de la desnutricion
calorico-proteinica grave en la rata lactante sobre la
glicosilacion de las colinesterasas de varios tejidos, y su posible
repercusion a nivel fisiologico."
