The Wicked Machinery of Government: Malta and the Problems of Continuity under the New Model Administration [PDF]
This is a study focused on the early years of British rule in Malta (1800-1813). It explores the application to the island of the “new model” of colonial government, one based on direct rule from London mediated by the continuation of existing laws and ...

DNA damage stress: Cui prodest? [PDF]
DNA is an entity shielded by mechanisms that maintain genomic stability and are essential for living cells; however, DNA is constantly subject to assaults from the environment throughout the cellular life span, making the genome susceptible to mutation ...

On the alternative approaches to stability analysis in decision support for damaged passenger ships
A decision support system with damage stability analysis has been recognized as an important tool for passenger ships. Various software applications have been developed and taken into use over the years, without a direct link to any compelling ...

Stability of non-localized responses for damaging materials [PDF]
This work is devoted to the analysis of the stability of the homogeneous states of a bar made of a brittle strain softening material submitted to a tensile loading. We distinguish two types of damage models: local damage models and gradient damage models. We show that a local damage model necessarily leads to the unstability of the homogeneous response

Spectral-element simulations of long-term fault slip: Effect of low-rigidity layers on earthquake-cycle dynamics [PDF]
We develop a spectral element method for the simulation of long-term histories of spontaneous seismic and aseismic slip on faults subjected to tectonic loading.

Ensuring the Stability of the Genome: DNA Damage Checkpoints [PDF]
The cellular response to DNA damage is vital for the cell s ability to maintain genomic integrity. Checkpoint signalling pathways, which induce a cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage, are an essential component of this process. This is reflected by the functional conservation of these pathways in all eukaryotes from yeast to mammalian cells ...

Chromosomal integrity after UV irradiation requires FANCD2-mediated repair of double strand breaks [PDF]
Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypersensitivity to inter-strand crosslinks (ICLs). FANCD2, a central factor of the FA pathway, is essential for the repair of double strand breaks (DSBs) generated during fork ...

Advanced damage stability assessment for surface combatants [PDF]
One of the major contributors to survivability of a surface combatant is her vulnerability to weapon effects and as such the damage stability characteristics have a direct influence on vulnerability. There are serious concerns about the limitations of the current semi-empirical deterministic criteria in which a combatant’s damage stability is assessed ...
