The goal of this paper is a first attempt to link the geology and mineral deposits of the Gondwana GIS, called GO-GEOID, to spatial statistics and map modelling. Such integration allows, for example, meaningful identification of the mineral potential of unexplored regions relative to those around them that are known to host major ore deposits. We use gold and tin deposits of Africa to derive pr...

Host compromise is a serious computer security problem today. To better protect hosts, several Mandatory Access Control systems, such as Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) and AppArmor, have been introduced. In this paper we propose an approach to analyze and compare the quality of protection offered by these different MAC systems. We introduce the notion of vulnerability surfaces under attack s...

Can different political ideologies explain policy preferences regarding asylum seekers? We focus on attitudes regarding governmental policy towards out-group members and suggest that perceptions of threat help to shape these policy attitudes. Study 1 compared public opinion regarding asylum policy in Israel (N = 137) and Australia (N = 138), two countries with restrictive asylum policies and wh...

The Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity found host rocks of basaltic composition and alteration assemblages containing clay minerals at Yellowknife Bay, Gale Crater. On the basis of the observed host rock and alteration minerals, we present results of equilibrium thermochemical modeling of the Sheepbed mudstones of Yellowknife Bay in order to constrain the formation conditions of its second...

Many concerns would find it useful to have a publicly available database recording exposures to particular substances, with contextual information. The European Union's Registration, Evaluations, Authorisation, and restriction of Chemicals regulation has increased interest in this. It has been suggested that journals should require detailed publication of exposure data with papers. But there ar...

As a commensal and opportunistic pathogen, Candida albicans possesses a range of determinants that contribute to survival, persistence and virulence. Among this repertoire of fitness and virulence attributes are iron acquisition factors and pathways, which allow fungal cells to gain this essential mineral in the iron-poor environment of the host. The aim of this review is to present the strateg...

Recent advances in distributed computing has lead software agents to be mobile and/or composed of distributed resources. In order to perform certain tasks, mobile agents may require access to resources available on remote systems. Although appealing in terms of system design and extensibility, mobile agents are a security risk and require strong access control. Further, the mobile code environm...

Scientific journals have a central place in protecting research integrity because published articles are the most visible documentation of research. We used SWOT analysis to audit (S)trengths and (W)eaknesses as internal and (O)pportunities and (T)hreats as external factors affecting journals' responsibility in addressing research integrity issues. Strengths include editorial independence, auth...

The Croatian Medical Journal (CMJ), as a small journal that is not part of any publishing group faces serious challenges to prosper in a multitude of diverse biomedical journals. In such a complex situation, adaptations are always necessary. They include changing the editorial policy, embracing new ideas, and introducing new members to the Managing Team. Besides selecting the right articles, ex...
