With the advent of proteomics came the development of technologies,
primarily mass spectrometry, which allowed high-throughput
identification of proteins in complex mixtures. While the mass
spectrometer resides at the heart of proteomics, its ability to
characterize biological samples is only as good as the sample
preparation and data analysis tools used in any study. In
Proteomics for Biomarker Discovery, expert researchers in the field
detail many of the methods which are now commonly used to study
proteomics. These include methods and techniques include both
label-free approaches and those that utilize stable isotopes
incorporated both during cell growth or added via a chemical
reaction once the proteome is extracted from the cell. Written in
the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology (TM) series
format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics,
lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,
readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on
troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
practical, Proteomics for Biomarker Discovery seeks to aid
scientists in the further study the different sample preparation
and data analysis tools used in proteomics today.
This book provides in-depth description, explanation, and
discussion of goal frustration. It brings together a repertoire of
perspectives and strategies that educators and scholars from
diverse educational contexts have conceptualized and/or implemented
in order to monitor, control, or overcome the occurrence of
frustration. This book describes the new technologies can be
applied in the conceptualization and operationalization of goal
frustration. It also discusses the strategies and pedagogies we can
use to cope with this emotion. This book offers evidence-based
reports of goal frustration as well as data-driven approaches by
presenting both theoretical account and empirical evidence that are
grounded in educational and psychological research. This work will
appeal to a wider readership from practitioners, parents, to
educational researchers.
This book aims to incorporate an emerging successful business
model, i.e., sharing economy, into energy markets, thus digging out
the potential merits and applications in multi-energy sectors. With
the core idea "access over ownership", sharing economy enables the
collaborative consumption of idle resources through advanced
information and communications technology. One critical challenge
is to identify different market participants' occupation while
accordingly designing pricing mechanisms. This book begins with an
overview about the recent development of sharing economy in energy
fields, and summarizes two energy market-related issues that
sharing economy can hopefully address. One is how to quantify a
marginal generator's contribution and thereby elicit truthful
bidding under information asymmetry condition. The other is how to
distinguish renewable and distributed energy resources'
contribution and thus incentivize efficient aggregation considering
increasing scale and uncertainty. Then sharing economy mechanisms
are proposed and designed from a game theory perspective. On this
basis, the following chapters thoroughly investigate the specific
problems in spot markets, multi-area markets, renewable energy
aggregation and energy systems integration. Additionally, the
benefits brought by sharing economy are evaluated in terms of
regional market bidding and transmission expansion deferral.
Finally, the information and communications technologies related to
sharing economy are modeled and analyzed. Hopefully, this book can
greatly benefit the readers who are interested in energy economics
and engineering.

This book provides a timely review of the role of histone
modifications in epigenetic control of gene expression. Topics
covered include: basic mechanisms of molecular recognition of
histone post-translational modification (PTMs); combinatorial
readout of histone PTMs by tandem epigenome reader domains;
genome-wide profiling of histone PTM interactions; small molecule
modulation of histone PTM interactions and their potential as a new
approach to therapeutic intervention in human diseases. All
chapters were written by leading scientists who made the original
key discoveries of the structure and mechanism of evolutionarily
conserved reader domains, which serve to direct gene transcription
in chromatin through interactions with DNA-packing histones in a
PTM-sensitive manner.
Challenging Nobel economics laureate Theodore W. Schultz, Dr Zhou,
in this comparative and path-breaking work, presents a new model
for private land ownership or possession to overcome inefficient
land-holding, increase farm competitiveness, realize food
self-sufficiency and eliminate poverty. He aims to consolidate and
enlarge fragmented small farms persisting in Asia, the Pacific,
Africa, Latin America, and Central, Eastern and Southern Europe;
and to help preserve small farmers, while strengthening large
farmers, in the USA, OECD and EU. He introduces the means to
facilitate the transition of collectively operated large farms in
Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia; promote EU
enlargement; to prevent food overproduction; and to improve the
environment. He also analyzes China's experience with public land
ownership and makes important contributions to both new
institutional economics and evolutionary political economy.

TheAsiaInformationRetrievalSymposium(AIRS)wasestablishedbytheAsian
information retrieval community after the successful series of
Information - trieval with Asian Languages (IRAL) workshops held in
six di?erent locations in Asia, starting from 1996. While the IRAL
workshops had their focus on inf- mation retrieval problems
involving Asian languages, AIRS covers a wider scope of
applications, systems, technologies and theory aspects of
information retrieval in text, audio, image, video and multimedia
data. This extension of the scope re?ects and fosters increasing
research activities in information retrieval in this region and the
growing need for collaborations across subdisciplines. We are very
pleased to report that we saw a sharp increase in the number of
submissions and their quality, compared to the IRAL workshops. We
received 106papersfromninecountriesinAsiaandNorthAmerica,
fromwhich28papers (26%) were presented in oral sessions and 38
papers in poster sessions (36%). It was a great challenge for the
Program Committee to select the best among the excellent papers.
The low acceptance rates witness the success of this year's
conference. After a long discussion between the AIRS 2004 Steering
Committee and Springer, the publisher agreed to publish our
proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series,
which is SCI-indexed. We feel that this strongly attests to the
excellent quality of the papers.

The ethnological and anthropological significance of animals is
common to all cultures and periods. Given this fact, the book
essays a comparative study of the animal figures in the works of a
representative of Chinese literature - Pu Songling (1640-1715) -
and those found in the works of a German-speaking writer, Franz
Kafka (1883-1924). The first chapter establishes the basic
characteristics of the animal figures of the two authors and then
proceeds to place these in the broader context of categories such
as the grotesque, metamorphosis, animal parable and animal
comparison, with copious reference to the different cultural and
literary traditions. Jianming Zhou undertakes detailed textual
analyses and comparisons with a view to illuminating Kafkas
approach to Pus work and the development of his style in the
portrayal of animals and humans. In so doing he suceeds in pointing
up the influence of Pu Songling on Kafka and thus opening up new
perspectives for intercultural comparative research on Kafkas work.

Since the last edition of the Tumors of Prostate Gland, Seminal
Vesicles, Penis, and Scrotum, there have been numerous significant
developments in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate and penile
cancers. The new Fifth Series Fascicle of the AFIP Atlas of Tumor
and Non-tumor Pathology includes these developments as well as
abundant images and diagrams to depict the morphological spectrum
of disease entities. In this richly illustrated atlas, the authors
emphasize the gross and light microscopic diagnosis and
differential diagnosis, present immunohistochemistry and molecular
pathology studies that are of current value in diagnosis, and
discuss pathological diagnosis in terms of prognosis and treatment.
