Institutional Foundations for Cyber Security: Current Responses and New Challenges by Choucri, Nazli, Madnick, Stuart E., Ferwerda, Jeremy

“…We begin with (a) highlights of international institutional theory and an empirical “census” of the institutions-in-place for cyber security, and then turn to (b) key imperatives of information technology-development linkages and the various cyber processes that enhance developmental processes, (c) major institutional responses to cyber threats and cyber crime as well as select international and national policy postures so critical for industrial countries and increasingly for developing states as well, and (d) the salience of new mechanisms designed specifically in response to cyber threats.…”

Urban characteristics attributable to density-driven tie formation by Pan, Wei, Ghoshal, Gourab, Cebrian, Manuel, Pentland, Alex Paul, Krumme, Katherine Ann

“…Here we demonstrate that our model provides a robust and accurate fit for the dependency of city characteristics with city-size, ranging from individual-level dyadic interactions (number of acquaintances, volume of communication) to population level variables (contagious disease rates, patenting activity, economic productivity and crime) without the need to appeal to heterogeneity, modularity, specialization or hierarchy.…”

Clotting Mimicry from Robust Hemostatic Bandages Based on Self-Assembling Peptides by Tschabrunn, Cory M., Mehta, Manav, Perez-Cuevas, Monica B., Zhang, Shuguang, Hsu, Bryan Boen, Conway, William E., Hammond, Paula T

“…Uncontrolled bleeding from traumatic wounds is a major factor in deaths resulting from military conflict, accidents, disasters and crime. Self-assembling peptide nanofibers have shown superior hemostatic activity, and herein, we elucidate their mechanism by visualizing the formation of nanofiber-based clots that aggregate blood components with a similar morphology to fibrin-based clots. …”

Wulgarity and Witality: On Making a Spectacle of Oneself in Pickwick by Buzard, James

“…In Henry Mayhew’s London Labour and the London Poor (1861), a massive, four-volume survey of urban workers living on the economic margins of Victorian society, city streets offer up plenty of appalling working-class vulgarity – strident voices, coarse language, gaudy clothing, and brazen behavior undisciplined by bourgeois standards of decency and reticence.1 But even as these crimes against propriety sharpen the contrast between the privileged observer and “the poor,” they also disturb the power relations between Mayhew and the subjects of his investigations. …”
