Britain spends to secure scientific growth

Secure outsourcing of scientific computations

We investigate the outsourcing of numerical and scienti c computations using the following framework: A customer who needs computations done but lacks the computational resources (computing power, appropriate software, or programming expertise) to do these locally, would like to use an external agent to perform these computations. This currently arises in many practical situations, including th...

Secure Cloud Connectivity for Scientific Applications

Cloud computing improves utilization and flexibility in allocating computing resources while reducing the infrastructural costs. However, in many cases cloud technology is still proprietary and tainted by security issues rooted in the multi-user and hybrid cloud environment. A lack of secure connectivity in a hybrid cloud environment hinders the adaptation of clouds by scientific communities th...

Economic Growth in Britain Since 1870

This chapter examines technological change in Britain over the last 140 years. It analyzes the effects of patent laws and innovation prizes that were designed to promote technical progress. It explores the challenge associated with the changing organizational structure of innovation and the shift from independent invention to R&D activity taking place inside the boundaries of firms. And it also...

Necessary torture? Vivisection, suffragette force-feeding, and responses to scientific medicine in Britain c. 1870-1920.

One of the primary aims of late nineteenth-century laboratory experimentation was to ground understandings of illness and disease within new regimes of science. It was also hoped that clinical practice would become increasingly complemented by discoveries and technologies accrued from emergent forms of modern medical enquiry, and that, ultimately, this would lead to improved diagnostic and ther...
