Physiologic Consequences of Housing Adult Male Cynomolgus Monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis ) in Heterosexual Pairs
Facilities may forgo attempting to socially house adult males due to fear of animal injury, study disruptions, and confounding data results. To leverage the potential advantages of male–female pairs, and to understand the impact on measures typically used in safety pharmacology studies, we measured activity as well as physiologic parameters in vasectomized male‐female pairs: heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. Seven singly housed ma…
E-dentification, the use of teledentistry for remote personal forensic identification in forensic odontology
Dental comparison is recognized by the International Criminal Police Organization as one of three primary forensic identification techniques that can provide conclusive findings. Queensland is a large Australian state with a centralized forensic odontology service located at Queensland Health's Coronial and Public Health Sciences (CPHS) in Brisbane, which sits in the state's South-Eastern corner. Almost half of the Queensland population is locate…
Two Cheers for Biden’s Ukraine Policy
US President Joe Biden's approach to Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been a qualified success. Under his leadership, the United States helped to ensure that Kyiv did not fall to Russia during the early stages of the war while also avoiding a catastrophic horizontal or vertical escalation of the conflict. These are non-trivial successes for which the president and his team of advisers deserve credit. However, Biden has fallen short when it comes …
Strategic clarity or calamity? Competing logics of deterrence in the Taiwan Strait
What is the best way to restore or uphold deterrence when an existing deterrent is perceived to have decayed? One common answer is that deterrers should simply add more of the ingredients that generally make for strong deterrents: more certainty that threats will be carried out, more capabilities to inflict severe punishments upon an adversary, and greater capacity to carry out threats with celerity (speed). This answer draws upon an intuitive qu…
The Chagos dispute
Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia is one of the most important US bases in the world, from which the US military can support operations in East Africa, the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, and as far afield as the South China Sea. However, recent events mean that the base on Diego Garcia faces political and legal uncertainty. It is housed inside one of 14 remaining British Overseas Territories, the British Indian Ocean Territory. The vast majority o…
Land transpiration-evaporation partitioning errors responsible for modeled summertime warm bias in the central United States
Earth system models (ESMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) experiment exhibit a well-known summertime warm bias in mid-latitude land regions – most notably in the central contiguous United States (CUS). The dominant source of this bias is still under debate. Using validated datasets and both coupled and off-line modeling, we find that the CUS summertime warm bias is driven by the incorrect partitioning of evapotrans…
The Hobbled Peacemaker
The United States (US) cannot reach an agreement with North Korea because US domestic politics will not support the magnitude of concessions that would be required to turn Pyongyang into a denuclearised yet satisfied regional power. While domestic constraints on the US side are not the only (or even the primary) reason for the non-materialisation of a peace agreement between the US and North Korea, they are an overlooked contributing factor. If f…
American Primacy and US–China Relations
Does today’s US–China relationship resemble the bygone rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union? In this article, we suggest that there are some instructive similarities between US–China and US–Soviet relations, but the Cold War analogy works best when the contemporary United States is cast in the role of the historical Soviet Union. Specifically, the United States (1991–present) has in common with the Soviet Union (1945–91) the fac…
Broken Nest
Deterring a Chinese invasion of Taiwan without recklessly threatening a great-power war is both possible and necessary through a tailored deterrence package that goes beyond either fighting over Taiwan or abandoning it. This article joins cutting-edge understandings of deterrence with empirical evidence of Chinese strategic thinking and culture to build such a strategy
Encountering the military-environmental complex
This Encounter describes some of the events that led up to the creation of the Chagos Marine Protected Area (MPA) on 1 April 2010. It reflects on the role of social scientists in opposing militarism and the military-environmental complex
The end of the American century? Slow erosion of the domestic sources of usable power
Can the United States continue to shape international politics as it has done for the past 70 years, or is the era of US preponderance coming to an end? Most attempts to answer this question focus on the concept of relative power—that is, the balance of material capabilities between the US and its geopolitical competitors. From this perspective, the ‘American era’ will be over when rival powers are able to muster the military capability to counte…

China in British Politics
How is the rise of China affecting world politics? Among Western International Relations scholars, most studies of China’s rise have focused on international-level implications—the balance of power between leading states, the future of regional and global orders, prospects for hegemonic war, and so forth—or the domestic politics of states along the periphery of the international system, especially in Central Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. In this a…
American Pendulum
It is impossible to understand contemporary or future international politics without a firm comprehension of U.S. foreign policy. Even in a supposed era of relative decline, the United States remains the wealthiest, most militarily powerful, and most influential country in the world. Simply put, how the United States chooses to discharge itself is of enduring relevance for all inhabitants of planet Earth. In American Pendulum: Recurring Debates i…
Development of theory-based health messages
Online health behaviour interventions have great potential but their effectiveness may be hindered by a lack of formative and theoretical work. This paper describes the process of formative research to develop theoretically and empirically based health messages that are culturally relevant and can be used in an online intervention to promote healthy lifestyle behaviours among new university students. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, a …
The Imminent US Strategic Adjustment to China
How can leaders in the United States and China ensure that future relations between their two countries are marked by peaceful cooperation and not conflict over the organization of world politics? Whereas most scholarly writing on the topic of China's 'peaceful rise' has dwelt upon the ways and means by which Chinese leaders can steer their ship of state towards harmonious relations with the outside world, this article attempts to shift the focus…
Britannia rules the waves? (Respond to this article at https
An international arbitration tribunal recently found the United Kingdom to have breached its obligations under international law in declaring a Marine Protected Area in the Chagos Islands (British Indian Ocean Territory). The ruling has potential implications for the indigenous people of the islands, the Chagossians, who continue to wage a political campaign for the restoration of their right of abode in Chagos. In this comment, I update readers …
When states appease
When do states appease their foes? In this article, we argue that governments are most likely to favour appeasing a foreign threat when their top leaders are severely cross–pressured: when the demands for increased security conflict sharply with their domestic political priorities. We develop the deductive argument through a detailed analysis of British appeasement in the 1930s. We show that Neville Chamberlain grappled with a classic dilemma of …
America's Other Guantánamo
The British Indian Ocean Territory ( BIOT ) is one of Britain's most controversial Overseas Territories. Its indigenous people, the Chagossians, were exiled from their homes in the 1960s and 1970s so that BIOT could play host to a US military base on the island of Diego Garcia. Meanwhile, Diego Garcia has been tarnished by revelations regarding its role in the CIA 's ‘extraordinary rendition’ programme and by allegations of torture. And earlier t…
Militarism in Environmental Disguise
What is the relationship between militarized landscapes, especially overseas military bases, and the natural environment? Scholars have noticed that militarized spaces—permanent bases, demilitarized zones, live fire ranges, training areas, historical battlefields and so forth—are often accompanied by de facto nature reserves. Thus, the unparalleled seclusion that militarization imposes upon delineated geographic spaces can create safe havens for …
Fortress, safe haven or home? The Chagos MPA in political context
Environmental protection as international security
Island bases are integral to US grand strategy in the Asia-Pacific. In this article, I discuss the increasingly common practice of using environmental protection initiatives to secure the Pentagon's hold on these prized assets. I argue that nature reserves on or around militarized sites on Guam, the Central Pacific islands, and Diego Garcia serve to buttress US political control over the territory concerned. In short, nature reserves in the Pacif…

Decolonising the special relationship
In this article, I challenge the prevailing concept of the UK-US ‘special relationship’ with a view to improving the concept as an analytic tool for researchers. As it stands, the special relationship draws attention to an uncommonly close bond between two state actors in the post-Second World War period, especially in terms of military cooperation. This conception imposes analytic costs – namely, an elision of imperialism as a feature of Anglo-A…
Ecology and Culture in the Communication of Precedent Among State Supreme Courts, 1870-1970
State supreme courts frequently cite each other as authorities. These citations constitute the interstate communication of precedent. The major direct predictors of this inter-court communication are the legal capital of the cited court, the difference in legislative innovativeness between the two states, and contemporaneous interstate migration. After 1940, inter-court communication is more strongly related to interstate migration than to any ot…

The origins of modern citizenship in China
This paper considers the emergence in China from the 1890s onwards of several distinct but interrelated interpretations of citizen and citizenship. It shows how these differing interpretations have drawn on a variety of political influences and traditions, some relating to the cultural and political worldview of late Qing and early Republican China, and some absorbed from Europe and Japan. It notes that they have acquired renewed potential during…

The four studies reported in this paper utilised similar methods to examine how students’ approaches to learning ch…
The impact of perceived experience on likelihood judgments for self and others
This study examines the effect of an experimental manipulation of perceived experience on self and others' likelihood ratings for a set of relatively commonplace misfortunes. Participants were randomly assigned to a condition in which they were asked whether they had ever experienced the events (designed to induce higher perceived experience) or whether they had done so frequently, typically, etc. (designed to induce lower perceived experience). …

Industrial workers in Rhodesia, 1946-1972
The emergence, over time, of class stratifications within the black communities of African States has been widely debated by academics working in the field of development economics.1 Most of the analyses are set in an historical perspective, and attempt to define the causal origins of the observed emergence of a labour aristocracy within the underdeveloped indigenous populations. In essence, these theses argue that the flow of capital into politi…

The Formulation of Public Policy in the Absence of Democracy
The formulation of public policy in nations of a non-democratic nature takes different forms and depends on whether the nations govern from the left or the right. Both have command style governments. I review how policies affect the family; arts, education and language; land, property and possessions; nuclear energy and economic development. Some conclu sions are drawn about states without a tolerated opposition
Hong Kong Confronts 1997
I N1841 the British Empire was enlarged in minute degree through the addition by conquest of Hong Kong, a tiny remote island in a remote corner of the Chinese Empire. Further enlargements took place as Kowloon (1860) and the New Territories (1898) came under British control, the latter being ceded on a ninety-nine-year lease which will run out on June 30, 1997.' In 1841, Hong Kong was inhabited by 5,500 fishermen and smugglers; in 1985 it was a c…

The typical student as an in-group member
While demonstrations of optimistic bias are plentiful, successful attempts at eliminating the bias (debiasing) are rare. The current study attempted to debias by reducing the perceived social distance between the self and the typical own university student. Using self-categorisation theory, it was predicted that rating the out-group target (the typical student at another university) before the in-group one would reduce the perceived social distan…

Democracy and Deep-Rooted Conflict
The nature of violent conflict in the world has changed in recent decades, both in its actual subject-matter and in the form of its expression. One of the most dramatic changes has been the trend away from traditional inter-state conflict (that is, a war between sovereign states) and towards intra-state conflict (that is, one which takes place between factions within an existing state). Whereas most violent conflicts over the course of the twenti…

Income Tax in Common Law Jurisdictions
This book was first published in 2006. Many common law countries inherited British income tax rules. Whether the inheritance was direct or indirect, the rationale and origins of some of the central rules seem almost lost in history. Commonly, they are simply explained as being of British origin without more, but even in Britain the origins of some of these rules are less than clear. This book traces the roots of the income tax and its precursors …

Competency-based medical education
Although competency-based medical education (CBME) has attracted renewed interest in recent years among educators and policy-makers in the health care professions, there is little agreement on many aspects of this paradigm.

We engaged in a multi-stage group process and held a consensus conference with the aim of revi…
