Force transduction through the bacterial cell envelope by Williams-Jones, D

“…Through use of mutagenesis, fluorescence microscopy, and live cell assays, I demonstrate that system function can be modulated by altering the secondary structure of the periplasm spanning transducer protein, TolA. I also examine the cell-wide implications of reducing TolA function in such a manner, with respect to membrane stability and cell division (chapter three). …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…An examination of four historic reformulations of what it means to be private, spanning two thousand years of western history, confirms that privacy has shifted considerably over time and that attempts to essentialize it are misplaced. …”
