From the watching of shadows: the origins of radiological tomography
Virginia Berridge notes that, "the history of institutions and organizations has, by and large, had a bad press." Consequently, revisionist social historians have either given up writing about institutions or turned to writing chronicles of "total institutions". Well aware of the hazards of the enterprise, Berridge has taken up the challenge of writing a balanced and judicious history of the So...
متن کاملThe Implications of Multiple Circadian Clock Origins
Genetics has had an awesome impact on our understanding of basic processes like circadian rhythms, which were mysterious before the incredibly successful marriage between genetics and recombinant DNA technology about 30 years ago. Subsequent to the pioneering work of Konopka and Benzer [1], genetic screens and DNA sequencing in multiple systems (including but not limited to humans, mice, Drosop...
متن کاملWatching the Clock: Quantum Rotation and Relative Time
A consistent theory of nature must account for both microscopic quantum waves and macroscopic relativistic particle trajectories. In the recent "New Quantum Paradigm", locally realistic rotating vector fields comprise fundamental particles with spin. These same coherent quantum rotators constitute local clocks that define local time, in a way that agrees with general relativity to first order, ...
متن کاملCell Timer/Cell Clock
Like the biological clock in the body, replication of each cell type (even different cells of the same organism) follows a timing program. Abnormal function of this timer could be an alarm for a disease like cancer. DNA replication starts from a specific point on the chromosome that is called the origin of replication. In contrast to prokaryotes in which DNA replication starts from a single ...

As governments increasingly deliver services over the Internet, the opportunities for monitoring and surveillance of society increase. In public services to support the vulnerable, such as welfare, monitoring and surveillance functionality is often regarded by system designers as important components in defences against fraud and system misuse.
