Proteomics is a study which takes the existence and activities of all proteins in cells as the research object for a more in-depth understanding of the laws of life activity. Since the concept of proteome was proposed in 1995, proteomics has achieved rapid development during the past decades. As a significant part of post-genomics, proteomics has strengthened its position and also become the forefront of scientific research in this century. Magnetic nanomaterials in proteomics analysis is an interdisciplinary field combining magnetic nanomaterials science and proteomics. From the current research, magnetic nanomaterials have shown great potential in complex proteomics research.This book focuses on the application of magnetic nanomaterials in the forefront of proteomics research, and describes in details the synthetic methods, properties, principles and performance of magnetic nanomaterials in various branches of proteomics, which includes digestion studies, enrichment of low abundance peptides, as well as the analysis of phosphoprotein and glycoprotein. Past 10 years' research on magnetic materials in proteomics is integrated, and then the application of magnetic nanomaterials in proteomics analysis are stated systematically.This book can serve as reference book for teaching in the major of proteomics analysis, and also can be reference book for researchers who are studying materials for proteomics.

Mechanical Wave Vibrations An elegant and accessible exploration of the fundamentals of the analysis and control of vibration in structures from a wave standpoint In Mechanical Wave Vibrations: Analysis and Control, Professor Chunhui Mei delivers an expert discussion of the wave analysis approach (as opposed to the modal-based approach) to mechanical vibrations in structures. The book begins with deriving the equations of motion using the Newtonian approach based on various sign conventions before comprehensively covering the wave vibration analysis approach. It concludes by exploring passive and active feedback control of mechanical vibration waves in structures. The author discusses vibration analysis and control strategies from a wave standpoint and examines the applications of the presented wave vibration techniques to structures of various complexity. Readers will find in the book: A thorough introduction to mechanical wave vibration analysis, including the governing equations of various types of vibrations Comprehensive explorations of waves in simple rods and beams, including advanced vibration theories Practical discussions of coupled waves in composite and curved beams Extensive coverage of wave mode conversions in built-up planar and spatial frames and networks Complete treatments of passive and active feedback wave vibration control MATLAB® scripts both in the book and in a companion solutions manual for instructors Mechanical Wave Vibrations: Analysis and Control is written as a textbook for both under-graduate and graduate students studying mechanical, aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering. It will also benefit researchers and educators working in the areas of vibrations and waves.
By assessing the transition in enterprise-employee relations in China over the six decades since the founding of the nation and the three decades since the implementation of a reform and opening up policy, this book investigates these changes from three key perspectives: occupation, operation and governance. The book chiefly analyzes the unit system structure of enterprises and mechanisms such as apprentice systems inside organizations and proposes a combination of systematic governance and civic governance. Further, it investigates in detail the transition in labor relations in township, state-owned and private enterprises under the contract system, market system and project system, reviews the factors contributing to contradictions in labor relations at different periods, and puts forward options for modifying labor relations in various ways, including their system and structure.
This is the first book to introduce the major quantitative tools in risk management taking financial investments and logistics planning as the background: optimization and stochastic programming. Contained here are the fundamentals of portfolio selection theory from the point of view of risk control, and methods for risk control with new and popular risk measures such as VaR (Value-at-Risk) and CVaR (Conditional VaR). The book also introduces a new theory for risk management in more general investment situations such as flexible investment decisions, providing an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the interrelations between these fields of research. Basic concepts of stochastic programming are introduced, and their applications to risk management in inventory distribution and network design are covered as well. Illustrated by carefully chosen examples and supported by extensive data analyses, this book is highly recommended to readers who seek an in-depth and up-to-date integrated overview of the ever-expanding theoretical and quantitative fields of risk management in financial investment and logistics planning.
Based on the water footprint (WF) concept, this book reviews WF-based water stress evaluation methods at the city, provincial and river basin levels respectively. In addition, it explores the factors that influence regional water footprint in the spatial sequence via the extended STIRPAT model. Highlighting the utilization of WF accounting in sustainable water management, one of the book’s goals is to establish the optimization model of water allocation in various industrial sectors. Based on WF accounting, which thoroughly considers the water input for production, the relevant intermediate water inputs, and the water amount for wastewater discharge dilutions, the book provides a wealth of insights for scholars and practitioners with an interest in water resources and environmental management. In addition, it exhibits a scientific plan for regional water resource utilization and allocation, helping relieve regional water shortages.
This textbook systematically addresses why and how Circular Economy should be developed and practiced by employing a Discussion and Research (D&R) teaching method. This method allows us to show the whole process of academic research, from formulating the key questions, to methodology design, and ultimately to conclusions and applications. In addition, the suggested class discussions and group homework provide good opportunities for participant cooperation and exchange. In this textbook, all chapters and sections are intended to answer specific scientific key or sub-key questions, while all chapters are also internally structured logically and systematically, from question to final conclusion. This textbook may help to boost student performance in science and research and was selected for inclusion in the 13th Five-Year planning teaching materials for regular higher education in China.
