This book features the major research advances on integrated networking, caching, and computing. Information-centric networking-based caching is one of the promising techniques for future networks. The cloud computing paradigm has been widely adopted to enable convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. In addition, fog/edge computing is proposed to deploy computing resources closer to end devices. From the perspective of applications, network, cache and compute are underlying enabling resources. How to manage, control and optimize these resources can have significant impacts on application performance.

This book serves to introduce the technologies and applications of precision medicine. Beginning with a section on emerging experimental and bioinformatics technologies, the collection continues with chapters covering cancer studies, cardiovascular diseases, COPD and systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as the latest engineering and surgical developments in precision medicine.

This volume helps readers navigate the entire microbial ‘omics research pipeline—from sample collection to data interpretation, and from foundational protocols to cutting-edge applications, with the goal of unifying traditional experimental methods with modern computational tools and emerging technologies. The chapters in this book are organized into five parts. Part One (Foundational Overview) provides a historical context for microbial omics and outlines key methods. Part Two (Core Experimental Methods) focuses on standardized experimental protocols of microbial ‘omics research. Part Three (Data Analysis Tools) covers computational tools that transform processed data into meaningful insights. Part Four (Applied ‘Omics: From Health to Industry) discusses the broad applicability of microbial ‘omics, and Part Five (Cutting-Edge Technologies: AI and Virology) explores the integration of AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) in virology. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Comprehensive and thorough, Microbial ‘Omics: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both novice and expert researchers looking to expand their knowledge of microbial ‘omics. This book will inspire new discoveries and advance the field for the benefit of humanity and the planet.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9thInternational Conference on Cloud Computing, CloudComp 2019, and the 4th International Conference on Smart Grid and Innovative Frontiers in Telecommunications, SmartGIFT 2019, both held in Beijing, China, in December 2019.

These factors collectively contribute to a distinctive environment that cannot be fully understood through conventional theoretical frameworks.The major analytical points of the book revolve around the intricate triangular relationships among China's politics, financial market rules, and the financial markets themselves.

The book highlights several aspects with 'Chinese characteristics' that set the country's financial system apart. One key element is the significant influence of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the financial markets. The Party plays a crucial role in shaping and driving policies within the financial sector, reflecting a distinct interplay between politics and finance. Additionally, the book emphasizes the involvement of various authorities within the government, the court system, and the intricate relationship between the courts and the governments in influencing the dynamics of the financial markets. These factors collectively contribute to a distinctive environment that cannot be fully understood through conventional theoretical frameworks.The major analytical points of the book revolve around the intricate triangular relationships among China's politics, financial market rules, and the financial markets themselves. The authors argue that relying solely on any existing school of thoughts is insufficient for comprehending the complexities of China's financial landscape. Instead, the book explores the multifaceted connections between politics, courts, and the financial markets. It delves into how political forces drive the formulation, development, and enforcement of financial market rules, including the roles played by various government bodies and the legal system. Unlike a focus on regulations and rules merely 'on paper,' the book takes a grounded approach by investigating China's financial markets rules in practical terms. By doing so, it seeks to discover the underlying logic behind the unique features of China's financial system, providing a nuanced understanding of the interactions between political forces, legal frameworks, and the financial markets in the Chinese context.
