The book is primarily concerned with DNA fingerprinting and DNA profiling in the context of forensic medicine and kinship testing. It concentrates on methods of determining the degree of relatedness of members of the same species, focusing on humans and occasionally glancing at other species.

This two volume set of books constitutes the proceedings of the 2014 7th IEEE International Conference Intelligent Systems (IS), or IEEE IS'2014 for short, held on September 24-26, 2014 in Warsaw, Poland. Moreover, it contains some selected papers from the collocated IWIFSGN'2014-Thirteenth International Workshop on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Generalized Nets.The conference was organized by the Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, Department IV of Engineering Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences, and Industrial Institute of Automation and Measurements - PIAP.The papers included in the two proceedings volumes have been subject to a thorough review process by three highly qualified peer reviewers.Comments and suggestions from them have considerable helped improve the quality of the papers but also the division of the volumes into parts, and assignment of the papers to the best suited parts.

This work presents current knowledge of the molecular genetics of the protein factors relevant to venous thrombotic disease, and describes the molecular basis of the various known deficiency states. It brings together all the relevant information required for the identification, study and analysis of the underlying gene/protein defects. It covers protein structure, function and biochemistry, gene structure and expression, as well as epidemiological and molecular aspects of the deficiency state. Molecular models of the proteins and their dysfunctional variants are presented wherever possible.
