In this comprehensive resource the Editor draws together experts from the field and provides an insightful introduction into the technology and methodology.
There is much interest today in the essentiality of choline. The proceedings of the 7th International Congress on Phospholipids updates the nutrition, health, and medical research community on the latest work being done on phospholipids in health and disease. Both review papers and original research are included.
Authoring, its tools, processes, and design challenges are key issues for the Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) research community. The complexity of IDN authoring, often involving stories co-created by procedures and user interaction, creates confusion for tool developers and raises barriers for new authors. This book examines these issues from both the tool designer and the author’s perspective, discusses the poetics of IDN and how that can be used to design authoring tools, explores diverse forms of IDN and their demands, and investigates the challenges around conducting research on IDN authoring. To address these challenges, the chapter authors incorporate a range of interdisciplinary perspectives on ‘The Authoring Problem’ in IDN. While existing texts provide ‘how-to’ guidance for authors, this book is a primer for research and practice-based investigations into the authoring problem, collecting the latest thoughts about this area from key researchers and practitioners.
Lipidomics is one of the emerging ‘omics’ techniques with growing importance in bioscience. Discussing interesting standard and non-standard techniques relevant to the measurement and analysis of lipids by mass spectrometry, this book will provide a guide to the possibilities of the techniques. It will introduce the reader to exciting new methods that allow isomer differentiation, improve sensitivity, allow spatial location and go beyond annotation of simply matching a mass to a database entry. The book is written and edited by the some of the world leaders in the field of lipid mass spectrometry and will have international appeal in industry and academia for analytical chemists, biochemists and biotechnologists. Furthermore, it will provide a useful resource for anyone interested in lipid structure characterization particularly for graduates and postgraduates who require a starting point for their projects.
The advent of genome sequencing and associated technologies has transformed biologists' ability to measure important classes of molecules and their interactions. This expanded cellular view has opened the field to thousands of interactions that previously were outside the researchers' reach. The processing and interpretation of these new vast quantities of interconnected data call for sophisticated mathematical models and computational methods. Systems biology meets this need by combining genomic knowledge with theoretical, experimental and computational approaches from a number of traditional scientific disciplines to create a mechanistic explanation of cellular systems and processes.System...

Until recently, endocrinology and critical care medicine were two specialties in medicine that were rather uncomfortable with each other and hence quite i- lated. Fortunately, these two ‘alien’ disciplines have joined forces in successful attempts to perform high quality research in order to clarify the unknown. By integrating endocrinology in critical care medicine, or vice-versa depending on the specialty of the observer, new experimental and clinical data on the complex endocrine and metabolic derangements accompanying non-endocrine severe i- nesses came available which generated important novel insights with relevant clinical implications. In addition, the state of the art diagnosis ...
Lipids play an essential role in cell signaling and subcellular structure. Systematic analysis of the total lipid structure of a cell or organism, the lipodome, can reveal novel avenues of therapeutic intervention and diagnosis. This analysis is best modeled after the lessons learned from proteomics. With contributions from pioneering researchers f
Introduces the principles, practice, and application of mass spectrometric techniques in the study of natural substances in foods. Early chapters address the principles and practice of mass spectrometry, followed by applications in flavor analysis and the determination of non-nutrient, biologically-active, natural substances in foods. Also covered is the analysis and metabolic study of amino acids, peptides, proteins, lipids, sugars, carbohydrates, and vitamins, with separate chapters on mineral and micronutrient metabolism and techniques of pyrolysis mass spectrometry.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling, ICIDS 2016, held in Los Angeles, CA, USA, in November 2016. The 26 revised full papers and 8 short papers presented together with 9 posters, 4 workshop, and 3 demonstration papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on analyses and evaluation systems; brave new ideas; intelligent narrative technologies; theoretical foundations; and usage scenarios and applications.
