On building and fitting a spatio-temporal change-point model for settlement and growth at Bourewa, Fiji Islands [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
The Bourewa beach site on the Rove Peninsula of Viti Levu is the earliest known human settlement in the Fiji Islands. How did the settlement at Bourewa develop in space and time? We have radiocarbon dates on sixty specimens, found in association with evidence for human presence, taken from pits across the site.

Macroalgae Inhibits Larval Settlement and Increases Recruit Mortality at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Globally, many coral reefs are degraded and demonstrate reduced coral cover and increased macroalgal abundance. While negative correlations between macroalgae and coral recruitment have commonly been documented, the mechanisms by which macroalgae affects

Justice in New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi settlement process. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper I examine how the New Zealand government, through the Treaty of Waitangi settlement process, is providing contemporary reparation for historical injustices against Maori tribes.

Vertical inhibition of p110α/AKT and N‐cadherin enhances treatment efficacy in PIK3CA‐aberrated ovarian cancer cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 1132-1154, April 2025.
PIK3CA amplification and PIK3CA mutation enhance ovarian tumorigenicity through an activation of AKT, which phosphorylates YAP at Ser127. This Ser127 phosphorylation leads to the retention of YAP in the cytoplasm and triggers RAC1 activity, promoting cell migration. Additionally, AKT activation increases expression of N‐cadherin, which further enhances

Stigmergy in Comparative Settlement Choice and Palaeoenvironment Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Decisions on settlement location in the face of climate change and coastal inundation may have resulted in success, survival or even catastrophic failure for early settlers in many parts of the world. In this study we investigate various questions related to how individuals respond to a palaeoenvironmental simulation, on an interactive tabletop device ...

Connecting Neighbors: The Role of Settlement Houses in Building Social Bonds With Communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Provides lessons learned from the model of service delivery provided by community settlement houses. Examines how the atmosphere, programs, and activities at settlement houses create, foster, and support relationships among ...

Loss of SETD2 in wild‐type VHL clear cell renal cell carcinoma sensitizes cells to STF‐62247 and leads to DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, and cell death characteristic of pyroptosis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 1244-1264, April 2025.
Vulnerability to the small molecule STF‐62247 is observed in SETD2‐inactivated VHL‐positive clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells. DNA damage and loss of CDC25A leads to cell cycle arrest in S phase. Cleavage of caspase‐3 (CASP3) and gasdermin E (GSDME) suggests cell death by pyroptosis.

Building Trust Takes Time: Limits to Arbitrage for Blockchain-Based Assets [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
A blockchain replaces central counterparties with time-consuming consensus protocols to record the transfer of ownership. This settlement latency slows cross-exchange trading, exposing arbitrageurs to price risk. Off-chain settlement, instead, exposes arbitrageurs to costly default risk.

Diffusion-driven demographics -- Turing model as a concept for the emergence of sedentism [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Sedentism was a decisive moment in the history of humankind. In a review article Kay and Kaplan quantified land use for early human settlements and found that sedentism and the emergence of farming go hand in hand. For these settlements two primary land use categories, farming and living, can be identified, whereas for hunter gatherer societies no ...

Population Distribution, Settlement Patterns and Accessibility across Africa in 2010

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The spatial distribution of populations and settlements across a country and their interconnectivity and accessibility from urban areas are important for delivering healthcare, distributing resources and economic development.
