Summary: This paper critically analyses from a political sociology standpoint the international conceptualization of war-affected populations as traumatized and in need of therapeutic interventions. It argues for the importance of looking beyond the... Read More about Psychosocial interventions and the demoralisation of humanitarianism.

War on the couch: the emotionology of the new international security paradigm (2004)
Journal Article
Pupavac, V. (2004). War on the couch: the emotionology of the new international security paradigm. European Journal of Social Theory, 7(2), 149-170. https://doi.org/10.1177/1368431004041749

The emotional state of war-affected populations has become a central concern for international policy-makers over the last decade. Growing interest in war trauma is influenced by contemporary Anglo-American emotionology, or emotional norms, which ten...

We present a novel approach to the dynamics of reactions of diffusing chemical species with species fixed in space e.g. by binding to a membrane. The non-diffusing reaction partners are clustered in areas with a diameter smaller than the diffusion length... Read More about Stability of membrane bound reactions.

Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect (2004)
Journal Article
Wattis, J. A. (2004). Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 362,

Recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of Cubero et al (1999) of
a DNA duplex containing the 'rogue' base difluorotoluene (F) in place of a
thymine (T) base show that breathing events can occur on the nanosecond
timescale, whereas breathing ev... Read More about Nonlinear breathing modes at a defect.

How to reply to referees’ comments when submitting manuscripts for publication (2004)
Journal Article
Williams, H. C. (2004). How to reply to referees’ comments when submitting manuscripts for publication. Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 51(1),

Background: The publication of articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals is a fairly complex and stepwise process that involves responding to referees’ comments. Little guidance is available in the biomedical literature on how to deal with such c... Read More about How to reply to referees’ comments when submitting manuscripts for publication.

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) that infect the genital tract can be divided into two groups: high-risk HPV types, such as HPV 16 and HPV 18, are associated with cancer, low-risk HPV types, such as HPV 6, are associated with benign warts. In both high-... Read More about Comparison of the structure and DNA-binding properties of the E2 proteins from an oncogenic and a non-oncogenic human papillomavirus.
