The fast development of biosensors with high sensitivity through new functional materials introduced, or simplified the procedure in measurements, which is definitely important. However, more attentions should be paid for real applications, increasing tolerances against various matrix that potentially influence the performance of biosensors.

Research and technology developments in bioenergy and biochemical production systems are of the utmost importance for the development of next generation, highly efficient biomass conversion concepts, maximizing the total energy and chemical output. The utilization of non-conventional biomasses and unexploited residual resources (e.g., agriculture and agroindustry wastes), innovative solutions f…
A combination of dry lab bioinformatic analyses and wet lab molecular experiments seems to be a major trend for biological studies. The authors of the papers included in this reprint tried to elucidate the linkage between environmental stress and molecular response, and the species investigated in each of the articles are phylogenetically and agriculturally diverse. These exemplar studies will …
This volume takes up the challenge embodied in its predecessors, Alternative Shakespeares and Alternative Shakespeares 2, to identify and explore the new, the changing and the radically 'other' possibilities for Shakespeare Studies at our particular historical moment. Alternative Shakespeares 3 introduces the strongest and most innovative of the new directions emerging in Shakespearean scholars…
