Fabry disease is an X-linked inborn error of metabolism wherein
deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme results in systemic deposition of
glycosphingolipids. Storage deposition, and hence pathological
disease, occurs preferentially in renal glomerular and tubular
epithelial cells, myocardial cells, heart valve fibrocytes, neurons
of dorsal root ganglia, and in endothelial smooth muscle cells of
blood vessels. Thus, Fabry disease is a multi-system disorder,
albeit with considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in onset and in
severity; however, it is progressive, exhibits extensive morbidity,
and is life-threatening. Within the past two decades, there has
been a radical change in the natural course Fabry disease by virtue
of the availability of specific enzyme replacement therapy.
Moreover, there has been a concerted effort to better understand
the underlying pathology and equally to identify patients prior to
the onset of irreversible end-organ damage. It is to be hoped that
the future for patients with Fabry disease can be viewed with
greater, albeit guarded, optimism. This state-of-the-art textbook
attempts to bridge the span of pre-clinical studies, clinical
finding, and management options in a readable but comprehensive
manner for the medical practitioner as well as the interested
non-medical reader.
This open access book offers in depth knowledge on the challenges
and opportunities offered by the inclusion of minority teachers in
mainstream educational settings from an international perspective.
It aims to be a unique and important contribution for scholars,
policy-makers, and practitioners considering the complexities
brought about by global trends into national/local educational
systems and settings. It will also serve to guide future research,
policy, and practice in this important field of inquiry. The work
will contribute answers to questions such as: How do
immigrant/minority teachers experience their work in mainstream
educational settings?; How do mainstream shareholders experience
the inclusion of immigrant/minority teachers in mainstream
educational settings?; What is the effect of the successful (and/or
unsuccessful) integration of minority teachers and teacher
educators into mainstream education settings?.

The foundation stone for the exceptional collection of Gabriele and
Anna Braglia was laid by an exhibition of German Expressionism in
Venice. The collection will be made accessible to the public in
Lugano starting in September. Fascinated by the vivid colours and
great expressive power of the paintings, the Swiss couple acquired
select paintings, watercolours and drawings, in particular those by
Paul Klee, Emil Nolde and the Blauer Reiter artists. These are
accompanied by works of art by Lyonel Feininger and Max Pechstein.
This publication is the first to provide a comprehensive overview
of the approximately fifty works of art, which represent important
contributions to Expressionism.

The growing number of disaster declarations (a record 98 in fiscal
year 2011 compared with 65 in 2004) has contributed to increased
federal disaster costs. FEMA leads federal efforts to respond to
and recover from disasters and makes recommendations to the
President, who decides whether to declare a disaster and increase
the usual federal cost share of 75 percent. This book addresses the
number of declarations requested and approved from fiscal years
2004-2011 and associated Disaster Relief Fund obligations; the
criteria FEMA uses to recommend a declaration for public
assistance, and the extent that FEMA assesses whether an effective
response to a disaster was beyond the capabilities of state and
local governments; how FEMA determines whether to recommend cost
share adjustments, and their costs; and FEMA's administrative cost
percentages for declarations.

standard 802.3, Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM), approved this
July, standardizes broadband Ethernet, allowing service providers
to focus on providing critical broadband services without worrying
about interoperability conflicts. This book will annotate and
explain the dense language of the standard document, taking
particular care how to explain how the EFM dovetails with other
standards. For engineers struggling with the standard, this book
will show clearly how each piece is supposed to work in the real
world.
