Theory and simulation of DNA damage and supercoiling by Selby, M

“…This theory is then applied to several systems such as straight chains and solenoids, successfully reproducing some well-known results. Finally we apply the theory to a previously intractable system of non-trivial saddle points, with the general systematic methodology elucidated.…”

Immune approaches for the prevention of breast milk transmission of HIV-1. by Lohman-Payne, B, Slyker, J, Rowland-Jones, S

“…Although antiretroviral regimens and risk reduction counseling have been successfully used for pregnant women and their infants in many parts of the developing world, full implementation of these programs remains a challenge in many countries, especially where antenatal clinical attendance and HIV-1 screening is not yet widespread. …”

Legal and other fictions of civil recovery: is it possible to reconcile the civil recovery of the proceeds of grand corruption with criminal justice and human rights? by Virdi, A

“…Owing to corruption, between USD20 billion and USD40 billion is estimated to be in flight from developing countries annually - with only USD5 billion in stolen assets having been successfully repatriated in the past 15 years. The Arab Spring served only to strengthen the view that civil recovery is a helpful tool in the fight against the evils of corruption. …”
