Contrary to longstanding of predictions of nuclear tipping points, the number of states interested in nuclear weapons has sharply declined in recent decades. In contrast to existing explanations, this dissertation argues that the decline is largely attributable to US nonproliferation policies, in particular the threat of sanctions that was instituted in the late 1970s. By credibly threatening to cut off economic and military support to countries pursuing nuclear weapons, I argue that this threat of sanctions deters states within the US sphere of influence from proliferating, reducing the overall rate of proliferation and also explaining why recent nuclear aspirants have exclusively been "rogue" states outside the US sphere of influence. Because states that depend on the United States have been deterred from proliferating in recent decades, the observed success rate of sanctions should be low, since they will generally be targeted at states that do not rely on US resources. This dissertation also offers a theory of the sources of US nonproliferation policy, arguing that fears of nuclear domino effects are necessary to explain (1) why US policy strengthened so dramatically in the wake of Chinese and Indian nuclear tests in the 1960s and 1970s, and (2) why the US abandoned a selective nonproliferation policy and decided to enforce nonproliferation across the board. To test these two arguments, this dissertation employs a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. First, I draw on archival documents to show that fears of nuclear domino effects motivated US nonproliferation policy advances in the 1960s and 1970s, and that this motivation was prominent in individual cases of nonproliferation. Second, I show quantitatively that states dependent on the United States have been less likely to pursue nuclear weapons since sanctions policies were instituted in the late 1970s, that observed cases of sanctions have been largely ineffective, and that the deterrent effect of sanctions largely accounts for the temporal decline in proliferation. Case studies of US policy toward Pakistan and Taiwan demonstrate that a credible threat of sanctions can arrest ongoing nuclear programs when the proliferator is dependent on the United States and underestimated the likelihood of sanctions.

Full textIn summary, my studies have shown that parathyroid cells respond to selected growth factors. This proliferative response involves increased expression of c-myc, c-fos, c-jun and PTHrP. 1,25-(OH)$ rm sb2D sb3$ inhibits the expression or c-myc, and cell proliferation is inhited. The differentiated parathyroid cell expresses high levels of CgA and PTH. However, during proliferation these high levels are not sustained.

Full textErroneously arising tetraploid mammalian cells are chromosomally unstable and may facilitate cell transformation. An increasing body of evidence suggests that the propagation of mammalian tetraploid cells is limited by a p53-dependent arrest, however, the triggers of this arrest have thus far not been identified. To elucidate the timing and causes of this arrest, time-lapse live cell imaging was performed to track the fate of individual cells immediately after tetraploidization. Newly formed tetraploid cells can progress through one cell cycle, but the majority of cells arrest or die in the subsequent G1 stage, with the fate of these tetraploid cells determined by the preceding mitosis. Daughter cells arising from defective mitosis accumulated p53 in the nucleus, which led to irreversible cell cycle arrest or death. Furthermore this p53 accumulation coincides and correlates with an increase of the oxidative DNA damage marker 8-OHdG, suggesting an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), but does not coincide with the phosphorylation of H2AX (γ-H2AX), a marker for canonical DNA damage. Using RNA interference and chemical genetics, several p53 activating kinases were tested for their contribution to the cell cycle arrest of tetraploid cells. Of the tested kinases, only ATM was shown to play a role in the activation of p53 after defects in mitosis. ATM kinase is a DNA damage-responsive kinase, however, it has been shown that increased ROS levels activate ATM in a non-canonical way. To gain further insights into arrest of tetraploid cells, an unbiased genome-wide esiRNA screen was performed to analyze cell proliferation after induced tetraploidization. Using FUCCI cell cycle probes, combined with DNA content cell cycle profiling, allowed an image-based assay to examine tetraploid and diploid cells side-by-side. This novel approach enabled us to screen for genes that specifically restricts or enhances cell proliferation after tetraploidization, if inhibited by esiRNA mediated knockdown. From the primary screen we identified 1159 genes that decreased and 431 genes that increased the cell proliferation after tetraploidization, if knocked down by esiRNA. From the 431 genes that increased proliferation upon knockdown, 374 were selected and subjected to a re-screen. Of these 374 genes, we were able to confirm the results for 158 of the genes. A bioinformatics analysis of the 158 genes for which the phenotype were confirmed by the re-screen revealed a significant enrichment of genes involved in DNA replication, the canonical Wnt signaling pathway and in pathways linked to cancer. Among the latter, CCDC6 is particularly interesting, because its gene product is a target of the ATM kinase and an upstream regulator of the tumor suppressor 14-3-3σ. Moreover, by comparing the results of the primary screen with the data of the “Project Archilles”, which measured the proliferation in genome wide pooled-shRNA screens for 108 cancer cell lines, 18 genes were identified that are essential for the proliferation of cells after tetraploidization, as well as for the proliferation of cancer cell lines that derive from cancer types with a high incidence for chromosomal instability (CIN). Taken together, the presented data builds an excellent resource not only for elucidating how the arrest after tetraploidization is mediated, but also to identify novel potential therapeutic targets against tumors with CIN, which are frequently resistant to many of today’s anti-cancer therapies.

Full textU.S. policy makers claim that nuclear weapons are needed to guarantee security commitments and discourage the international spread of nuclear weapons. This thesis evaluates the link between security guarantees and efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation. It draws three conclusions based on case studies of the use of conventional security commitments and nuclear security guarantees to prevent nuclear weapons development in South Korea and Taiwan. First, nuclear security guarantees alone are not sufficient to prevent proliferation. Second, strong conventional commitments made credible by visible presence of forces are sufficient to prevent nuclear proliferation when the direct security threat is conventional. Third, when the security threat being faced includes nuclear weapons, nuclear proliferation prevention requires both a nuclear security guarantee and a physically evident conventional military guarantee. Two implications for security policy follow from these findings. First, nuclear weapons are necessary in the modem security environment. Second, nuclear security guarantees are not credible without the stationing of conventional forces
