Infrastructural Inaccessibility

Apoptotic inaccessibility with maturity

A bacterial protein that looks like actin but acts like micro-tubules makes a Sisyphean effort to push plasmids apart, as revealed in videos by Campbell and Mullins. The prokaryotic actin look-alike is ParM, which forms a fi lament that, like microtubules, is dynamically unstable. ParM is encoded by plasmid operons that also contain centromeric sequences and the gene for a DNA-binding protein t...

Meteorology as Infrastructural Globalism

This chapter explores the history of a global governance institution, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), from its nineteenth-century origins through the beginnings of a planetary meteorological observing network, the WMO’s World Weather Watch (WWW), in the 1960s. This history illustrates a profoundly important transition from voluntarist internationalism, based on shared interests, to...

Critical Utility Infrastructural Resilience

The problem of security and dependability, or generically speaking, resilience [1] of Internet-oriented infrastructure systems, such as web server compounds, is reasonably well understood. Although it is not completely mastered (for example, denial of service is still a research subject), it is receiving adequate attention. However, such is not the case with the problem of resilience of critica...

Infrastructural Map for Information Security

Abstract—The threat modeling process starts with the phases of identifying critical assets, creating an architecture overview, and decomposing to identify possible points of attack. Data flow diagrams and sequence diagrams are used in this process. This paper proposes an alternative flow-based methodology for building an architectural map for the system. It provides a high-level methodology for...
