Internationalizing Working-Class History since the 1970s: Challenges from Historiography, Archives, and the Web

In this essay the communication practices of labor migrants and their evolution from nineteenth-century print media to late twentiethcentury electronic media provide the frame for a discussion of the limitations of national approaches to collection and interpretation. Multiple languages and knowledge of cultures of origin are required, cooperative library and research projects are necessary. On...

Why the Western Pacific Subtropical High Has Extended Westward since the Late 1970s

The western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) is closely related to Asian climate. Previous examination of changes in the WPSH found a westward extension since the late 1970s, which has contributed to the interdecadal transition of East Asian climate. The reason for the westward extension is unknown, however. The present study suggests that this significant change of WPSH is partly due to the atm...

Cohabitation and marriage in Britain since the 1970s.

The article presents an overview of trends in cohabitation and marriage in Britain over several decades, using a consistent set of retrospective histories from the General Household Survey 1979-2007. Time-trends are presented, for men and women, of: the experience of different types of partnership by specified ages, the frequency of premarital cohabitation, the average time spent in different t...

Modeling conformational transitions in kinases by molecular dynamics simulations: achievements, difficulties, and open challenges

Protein kinases work because their flexibility allows to continuously switch from inactive to active form. Despite the large number of structures experimentally determined in such states, the mechanism of their conformational transitions as well as the transition pathways are not easily to capture. In this regard, computational methods can help to shed light on such an issue. However, due to th...
