Dissecting the Barbarian

Session title: THE BARBARIAN IN THE HISTORY OF EUROPEAN ARCHAEOLOGY

The concept of the barbarian has been an enduring presence in the antiquarian and archaeological study of European societies. Indeed the idea of the barbarian as an adjective and concept continues to influence both scholarly and popular perceptions of Prehistory, the Ancient World and Early Medieval societies. Moving beyond studies of the shifting attitudes to the barbarian within successive an...

Barbarian thoughts: imperialism in the philosophy of John Stuart Mill

Mill’s political and his international theory rest on a philosophy of history drawn in turn from the experience of nineteenth century imperialism. And yet, this philosophy of history remains unexamined in Political Theory and International Relations (IR) alike, largely because of the peculiar division of labour between the two disciplines. In this article I will argue that this omission results...

Greatwall kinase protects mitotic phosphosites from barbarian phosphatases.

T he basic outline of the events controlling entry into mitosis has been clear for more than 20 y: the essential mitotic driver Mphase promoting factor [MPF; a cyclindependent kinase (CDK) composed of CDK1 and cyclin B] becomes rapidly activated and phosphorylates a wide variety of targets, creating mitotic phosphoproteins that contribute to nuclear membrane breakdown, chromosome condensation, ...

Dissecting the Mechanism

Select members of the bovine pancreatic noonuclease (RNase A) superfamily are toxic to tumor cells. RNase A. itself. is not normally cytotoxic. but Onconasee (ONC). an amphibian homologue. is a potent cytotoxin. This thesis examines the molecular basis of nDonucleasemediated cytotoxicity. The steps for ribonuclease cytotoxicity are: (1) cell-surface binding. (2) internalization. (3) translocati...
