Differential protein folding and chemical changes in lung tissues exposed to asbestos or particulates [PDF]
Environmental and occupational inhalants may induce a large number of pulmonary diseases, with asbestos exposure being the most risky. The mechanisms are clearly related to chemical composition and physical and surface properties of materials.

Monitoring of historical structural materials with computed tomography
Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is an excellent tool to solve certain engineering problems connected to material science (such as sulfate swelling, internal degradation due to freezing, and alkali silicate swelling) and to understand specific processes (frost peeling, acid action).

Traceability Support for Engineering Reviews of Horizontal Model Evolution
ABSTRACT At its very core, model‐based systems engineering uses models to enable a multidisciplinary view on a system design in the early stages. These early stage models evolve horizontally: new diagrams for further perspectives and disciplines are added, using the same notation and the same abstraction level.

Analysing policy success and failure in Australia: Pink batts and set‐top boxes
Abstract This article examines two Australian government programs from the Rudd/Gillard Labor government, the Home Insulation Program (HIP) and the Digital Switchover Household Assistance Scheme (HAS). Both became shibboleths of the Labor government's perceived waste and incompetence.
