First person - Ivo de Vos
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Ivo de Vos is first author on 'The novel zebrafish model pretzel demonstrates a central role for SH3PXD2B in defective collagen remodelling and fibrosis in Frank-Ter Haar syndrome', published in BiO. Ivo conducted the research described in this article while a Research Fellow in Professor Maurice van Steensel's lab at the Skin Research Institute of Singapore (SRIS), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore. He is now a Postgraduate House Officer in Clinical Genetics, currently working in patient care in the Department of Genetics, at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), The Netherlands, investigating pathophysiological mechanisms underlying common skin conditions by studying rare genetic skin disorders, ultimately improving patient care

Introduction: The Multiple Challenges and Layers of Water Justice Struggles
No full textIntroduction Water is a resource that triggers profound conflicts and close collaboration, a source of deep injustices, and fierce struggles for life. In many regions of the world, rising demand and declining availability of adequate-quality water foster severe competition and ferocious clashes among different water uses and users. People also suffer from flooding; contamination caused by industry and mining; privatization of public water utilities; corruption; and displacement by large dam projects. Climate change intensifies most human-made water problems. In struggles for water security, the poor tend to lose (e.g. Crow et al., 2014; Escobar, 2006; Harvey, 1996; Perreault et al., 2011). Through exemplary cases, the chapters in this book show how new competitors - including megacities, mining, forestry, and agribusiness companies - demand and usurp a mounting share of available surface and groundwater resources (e.g., Donahue and Johnston, 1998; GRAIN, 2012). Water deprivation and water insecurity affect marginalized urban households, and rural smallholder families and communities. In many regions, this poses profound threats to environmental sustainability and local and national food security (e.g., Escobar, 2008; Mehta et al., 2012; Mena et al., 2016). Such proliferating problems of material and social “water injustices” provide the backdrop for this book. Distribution of access water rights and water-related decision-making is extremely skewed. Smallholder communities’ water-based livelihoods and rights in many countries of the global South are constantly threatened by bureaucratic administrations, market-driven policies, and top-down project intervention practices. Despite the fact that water injustices have existed throughout human history, water justice problems and related policy interventions have changed rapidly over recent decades (Zwarteveen and Boelens, 2014). For instance, rather than focusing on simply enlarging water flows through new hydraulic engineering projects, new perspectives focus on water saving and conservation (Vos and Marshall, 2017; Zwarteveen, 2015). New scientific fields and water professionals have entered the water policy-making and intervention worlds to accompany (increasingly high-tech) hydraulic engineering (Buscher and Fletcher, 2015; Goldman, 2007, 2011). Also, climate change threats and water-related disasters have changed science and policy debates and water funding projects related to issues such as “mitigation and adaptation,” flood control and drought prevention (Heynen et al., 2007; Lynch, 2012; Martínez-Alier, 2002). Further, global neoliberalism has assured that water development and governance are no longer seen as the exclusive realm of the state, with water knowledge and authority concentrated in powerful public agencies (Hommes et al., 2016; Loftus, 2009; Zwarteveen, 2015)

T. S. Eliot’s Ara Vos Prec: The Maker’s Pages in Order
No full textThere are two versions of T. S. Eliot’s second complete volume of poems: the US edition, Poems (1920), and the UK edition, Ara Vos Prec (The Ovid Press). While Ezra Pound arranged the poems of the American Poems (1920), Eliot himself determined the sequence of poems for Ara Vos Prec. This paper examines the history and the material form of Ara Vos Prec in order to understand how Eliot, while not under the influence of Pound, read his own poetry in 1920, and how he envisioned and guided his different audiences — public and coterie — in reading it.Il existe deux versions du second volume de poèmes de T. S. Eliot : l’édition américaine des Poems (1920) et l’édition britannique d’Ara Vos Prec (The Ovid Press). Si Ezra Pound décida de l’ordre des poèmes pour la première, c’est Eliot lui-même qui détermina celui de la seconde. Cet article se penche sur l’histoire et la forme matérielle d’Ara Vos Prec, pour éclairer la façon dont Eliot, sans l’influence de Pound, lisait sa propre poésie en 1920, et la manière dont il percevait et guidait ses différents lectorats – grand public et coterie – dans ce contexte

On the application of network theory in naval engineering: Generating network topologies
No full textNetwork topology of technical systems (i.e. the way in which components of technical systems are connected to each other through connections like pipes, cables, shafts, etc.) in naval vessels is quickly fixed in current design methods. This means the vulnerability of these systems is also quickly fixed. Variation in network topology may lead to new, unknown topologies that have better survivability characteristics. Therefore a new approach to designing technical systems is explored in this paper. This approach applies mathematical network theory in a naval engineering context. Basic concepts of network theory are explained and then used to make automatic network topology generation possible. Preliminary results using a first version of a network topology generation algorithm are presented and discussed. Future work within the PhD research of which this network topology generation is one aspect is then described.Accepted Author Manuscript.
