Managing distributed state is a di cult challenge for building scalable, distributed, wide-area applications. This project presents the design of an infrastructure, called Ivory, to simplify construction of distributed applications by automatically caching and replicating data structures and code. We illustrate the use of our infrastructure in service caches that replicate Web service code and ...

Previous imported cases of Lassa fever (LF) into the United Kingdom from the Ivory Coast and Mali, as well as the detection of Lassa virus (LASV) among the Mastomys natalensis population within Mali has led to the suggestion that the endemic area for LF is expanding. Initial phylogenetic analyses arrange isolates from Mali and the Ivory Coast separately from the classical lineage IV isolates ta...

The over-exploitation of African elephants for their ivory has led to a dangerous decline in their overall population. As a result, they were granted protection under the CITES international trade agreement and given an Appendix I listing, which completely bans their international trade. I investigate the following question: under what circumstances is the limited trade allowed under the CITES ...

Ivory shell toxin (IST) was first isolated by Hashimoto et al. (1967) from the Japanese ivory shell (Babylonia japonica) which causes sporadically food-poisoning in Japan. Hirayama et al. (1970) found that the toxin is extremely potent in blocking autonomic ganglia. Since the parasympathetic ganglia of the dog urinary bladder have been shown to possess both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors (T...
