Borders and Boundaries: these terms appropriately describe a certain tendency prevailing in Irish and Scottish Studies which delineates and thus delimits their field in terms of national concerns. While postcolonial criticism shows the potential to adhere to national boundaries whilst embedding them in an international context, this paper aims to shift its relevance from questions about the nat...

Pili are hairlike filamentous appendages which extend several micrometers from the bacterial surface and have long had an important role in the pathogenesis of gonococcal infections. Pioneering studies by Kellogg et al. demonstrated that a loss of virulence was observed when gonococci were subjected to repeated laboratory subculture and that this change was associated with a change in colony mo...

Feeding behavior of the invasive bivalve Limnoperna fortunei in the presence of single-celled, colonial, and filamentous cyanobacteria was tested in laboratory experiments to evaluate the effects of size and shape on mussel feeding. The first hypothesis holds that golden mussel filters more efficiently smaller particles, such as single cells of Microcystis, which could be more easily assimilate...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how the library management of the Raffles Library and Museum (the former name of the National Library of Singapore) positioned the library in relation to the wider colonial society of which it was a part. More widely, the aim is to explore the role of libraries within a colonial setting. Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes the form of his...

Today, historical research on health and society in nineteenth-century Australia, as elsewhere, is focused on three main areas: the effects ofparticular epidemic diseases on the social fabric, the politics of public health, and the relationship between living standards, sanitary reform, and mortality. By far the greatest attention has been paid to the first, notably by historical epidemiologist...

Anthropology in general has colonial roots and these influences are still in existence. British colonial policy in Africa and Asia began to change in the 1930s thus, it was suddenly decided to “develop” the colonies. This paper is aimed at objectively studying the process of change without committing itself to any particular policy. The skepticism of colonialism and its arrogant assumption of o...

This article analyses the impact of the rinderpest animal disease outbreak on human populations in early colonial Zimbabwe. It is informed by the realisation that, while animal diseases may not infect human beings directly, they may cause untold damage to both the health and the economy of human beings and influence human institutions and policies in a variety of ways. By using the rinderpest p...

As XML data becomes central to business-critical applications, there is a growing need for efficient and reliable XML storage. Two main approaches have been proposed for storing XML data: native and colonial systems. Native systems (e.g., [9, 20]) are designed from the ground up specifically for XML and XML query languages. Colonial systems (e.g., [5, 7, 19]), on the other hand, attempt to reus...
