International law on the use of force has become increasingly contested. Such contestation also happens in form technologically-mediated state practices, for example via designing and using drones or weapon systems integrating autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Over time, such practices can deliberatively tacitly shape new norms. To make sense dynamics, article differentiates...

In the context of the Index Thomisticus Treebank project, we have recently enhanced the entire text of Bellum Catilinae by Sallust with a layer of semantic annotation. By exploiting the results of semantic role labeling, ellipsis resolution and coreference analysis, this paper presents a study of the main Actors and Actions (and their relations) in Bellum Catilinae.

Abstract In this essay, I reflect on the divergent arguments about limited force made by Daniel R. Brunstetter and Samuel Moyn in their respective monographs. Arguing that positions can be reconciled, agree with has a role to play establishing maintaining just world order. At same time, however, am mindful of Moyn's warning may lead perpetual war. The way ensure both works toward justice does n...

The bang-sensitive (BS) mutants of Drosophila are an important model for studying epilepsy. We recently identified a novel BS locus, julius seizure (jus), encoding a protein containing two transmembrane domains and an extracellular cysteine-rich loop. We also determined that jussda iso7.8, a previously identified BS mutation, is an allele of jus by recombination, deficiency mapping, complementa...
