This volume bridges the gap between the global promotion of the
Green Economy and the manifestation of this new development
strategy at the urban level. Green cities are an imperative
solution, not only in meeting global environmental challenges but
also in helping to ensure socio-economic prosperity at the local
level.

This third volume provides comprehensive protocols on
pre-analytical, analytical, plasma, and serum proteomics. New and
updated chapters are divided into nine sections, detailing blood
processing and handling strategies, discovery- and targeted-based
mass spectrometry, including workflows to aid in discovery and
targeted data analysis, in addition to software and bioinformatics
for the plasma proteome. This edition further integrates emerging
areas in the development of technologies for plasma proteomics and
assay platforms in biomarker discovery and translational
proteomics, enrichment and detection strategies to understand the
plasma proteome, and peptide, lipid and metabolite targeted assays.
We also detail the emerging analysis of extracellular vesicles
isolated from plasma. Written in the format of the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each of the 33
chapters includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary
materials and methods, includes hints and tips on troubleshooting
and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible
protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Serum/Plasma Proteomics:
Methods and Protocols, Third Edition aims to be comprehensive guide
for researchers.
This is the complete history of a building that began as a hunting
lodge, late in the eleventh century and that grew to be the
principal house of the manor of Theydon Mount in Essex, a small
country retreat within easy reach of London. In 1556, the house was
acquired by Sir Thomas Smith (1512-77), a man of humble origins but
precocious intellect who became Regius Professor of Civil Law at
Cambridge at the age of thirty and Chancellor of the University two
years later. He then forsook academic for political life, becoming
Master of Requests to the Lord Protector Somerset. From 1557, Smith
rebuilt the house in French-influenced classical style and
decorated it with wall paintings of Cupid and Psyche and King
Hezekiah, conveying complex messages of morality and affinity as
part of a coherent programme of images in paint, glass and tiles.
Four centuries on, the house was first used as an open prison,
then, in 1969, largely gutted by fire and finally, in 1980, taken
into the care of the Department of the Environment. Archaeological
excavation and detailed recording of the surviving fabric took
place prior to the restoration of the house and its mural
paintings, the results of which are now presented in this copiously
illustrated account of one of the most important and influential
houses to be built in Elizabethan England.
