Genetic Variation: A Laboratory Manual is the first compendium of protocols specifically geared towards genetic variation studies, and includes thorough discussions on their applications for human and model organism studies. Intended for graduate students and professional scientists in clinical and research settings, it covers the complete spectrum of genetic variation-from SNPs and microsatellites to more complex DNA alterations, including copy number variation. Written and edited by leading scientists in the field, the early sections of the manual are devoted to study design and generating g

Based on original research, Japan’s Minorities provides a clear historical introduction to the formation of individual minorities, followed by an analysis of the contemporary situation. This second edition identifies and explores the six principal minority groups in Japan: the Ainu, the Burakumin, the Chinese, the Koreans, the Nikkeijin and the Okinawans. Examining the ways in which the Japanese have manipulated historical events, such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the contributors reveal the presence of an underlying concept of ‘Japaneseness’ that excludes members of these minorities

Drawing on the full range of materials published during the twentieth century, this set brings together the essential scholarship concerning the formation of racial identities in Japan, and social exclusion as experienced by the Ainu, Burakumin, Okinawans, and Chinese and Korean residents. It also includes material related to migration, both pre- and post-war, with special reference to the formation of Nikkeijin (Latin American national of Japanese descent) communities, and attitudes towards other minorities, such as those of African or Jewish descent. Includes an original introduction and ful

The Japanese have traditionally projected themselves as a culturally and racially uniform society, while in reality, Japan is home to diverse minority populations. Japan’s Minorities identifies and explores the six principal minority groups in Japan: the Ainu, the Burakumin, the Chinese, the Koreans, the Nikkeijin and the Okinawans.The themes addressed include the role of this ideology of "race" in the construction of the Japanese identity; historical memory and its suppression; contemporary labor migration to Japan; and the three-hundred year existence of Chinese communities in Japan.

Inspired by mathematical structures found by theoretical physicists and by the desire to understand the "monstrous moonshine" of the Monster group, Borcherds, Frenkel, Lepowsky, and Meurman introduced the definition of vertex operator algebra (VOA). An important part of the theory of VOAs concerns their modules and intertwining operators between modules. Feingold, Frenkel, and Ries defined a structure, called a vertex operator para-algebra (VOPA), where a VOA, its modules and their intertwining operators are unified. In this work, for each $n geq 1$, the author uses the bosonic construction (f
