Tapped out: how can cities secure their water future?

How Cities Can Plan For Automated Vehicles

Ion channelopathies: a tapped-out mine?

THE STUDY OF ION CHANNELS shifted paradigms when Keating and colleagues (3) struck silver in the Utah hills. In the early days of the molecular biological era, they were able to describe a genetic linkage between the long QT syndrome, a form of inherited sudden death associated with a particular electrocardiographic finding, and ion channel DNA mutations. They went on to describe a plausible me...

How Small Groups Can Secure Interdomain Routing

Although the Internet’s routing system has serious security vulnerabilities, none of the existing proposals for a secure variant of BGP has been successfully deployed in practice. This is not surprising since deploying protocols that require the cooperation of tens of thousands of independentlyoperated networks is problematic. Instead, we argue that small groups should be the basis for securing...

How can secure software be trusted?

The security of software applications is a major concern, especially for information owners, software developers and users. Increasingly, these stakeholders need to be confident that the software applications being developed are secure and can be trusted when used in the intended environment. However, a problem exists in terms of how to confidently address the security of software applications ...

Urban water management in cities: historical, current and future regimes.

Drawing from three phases of a social research programme between 2002 and 2008, this paper proposes a framework for underpinning the development of urban water transitions policy and city-scale benchmarking at the macro scale. Through detailed historical, contemporary and futures research involving Australian cities, a transitions framework is proposed, presenting a typology of six city states,...
