Some early attempts at scientific or philosophical discussion of life were apparent in Greece. For example, Thales (the earliest of the identified Greek philosophers) argued that everything stemmed ultimately from water. He therefore had a somewhat vague idea that descent with modification was possible, since things had to diversify from a common origin. Aristotle suggested that in every thing ...

The EC funded CyClaDes research project is designed to promote the increased impact of the human element in shipping across the design and operational lifecycle of ships. It addresses the design and operation of ships and ship systems. One of the CyClaDes’ tasks is to create a crew‐centered design case‐study examination of the information that is shared between the Bridge and En...

Games like Myst, Civilisation and Anno 1602 are centred around the virtual travelling of the gamer through unknown worlds. The voyage s/he undertakes often hinges on notions of colonialist exploration, turning the gamer into a traveller who surveys and masters unknown domains and learns to control techno-scientific principles along the way. Since such games are related to a mentality of colonia...

fishing per somewhat longer voyage and more fish per day at sea and per ton of fuel. These two British pioneer experiments have indicated two possible ways of improving the exploitation of wide-ranging fisheries. 'Those who rely on supplies brought in by distant-water trawlers may before very long be freezing sizeable quantities at sea' (European Productivity Agency of the Organisation for Euro...

Reactive oxygen species are known to be potentially dangerous, but are also needed for signal-transduction pathways. Tumor cells have relatively low amounts of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which quenches superoxide anion (O2 •), and as a result of a higher level of aerobic metabolism, higher concentrations of O2 •, compared to normal cells. But this may not be true of all tumor cells. Some tumor...
