Structural determinants of mutability across cancer genomes
… between each of those non-B DNA motifs and mutability was performed across thousands of whole genome sequenced tumours from different tissues. Non-B DNA motifs were more mutable than the surrounding regions and were found to be determinants of mutability across cancer types. Additionally, …

Connotational Subtyping and Runtime Class Mutability in Ruby
<p>Connotational subtyping is an approach to typing that allows an object's type to change dynamically, following changes to the object's internal state. This allows for a more precise representation of a problem domain with logical objects that have variable behavior. Two approaches to supporting …

Object evolution : adding runtime class mutability to the JVM
… designed to verify the new runtime class mutability capability.

Ritualization - Hybridization - Fragmentation : The Mutability of Roman Vessels in Germania Magna AD 1–400
This PhD thesis deals with the transformation of imported vessels of Roman origin in Germania Magna during the Roman Iron Age, 1-400 AD. The concept of transformation in this context refers to the various ways these objects were interpreted, physically altered and consequently changed with regard …

Distribution of mutant cells in human skin : exploration of the fetal-juvenile mutability hypothesis
The multiple "hits" carcinogenesis models are extensions of the cancer incidence theory developed by researchers from Nordling (1953), Armitage-Doll (1954 and 1957), Knudson (1971), Moolgavkar and Verzon (1979), to Moolgavkar and Knudson (1981), among others. These studies relate to the …

The Mutability of the Score: An Examination of the Value of Score Alteration in Virtuosic Piano Repertoire
<p>This dissertation is a defense of the value of score alteration in virtuosic piano repertoire. Score alteration is a performance practice, much heard during the so-called “Golden Age” of pianism, in which pianists would freely modify the score in order to suit their interpretation and make their …

Speciation dynamics of an agent-based evolution model in phenotype space
… offspring distance from their parent(s) (mutability, which is the only heritable trait) along each coordinate in phenotype space. As mutability is varied, a non-equilibrium phase transition is shown to occur for populations reproducing by assortative mating and asexual fission. …

Javari : adding reference immutability to Java
… that is capable of expressing and enforcing immutability constraints. The specific constraint expressed is that the abstract state of the object to which an immutable reference refers cannot be modified using that reference. The abstract state is (part of) the transitively reachable state: that …

Mutable mechanics in biomaterials : a study of trichocyte keratin and Nvjp-1 protein
… These mechanisms are responsible for protein mutability, enabling distinct biological functions. Understanding the bonds' chemistry and mechanics is important for our knowledge of molecular, cellular and tissue level properties of biological materials that contain high ratios of disulfide …

Javarifier : inference of reference immutability in Java
… an extension of Java that supports reference immutability constraints. Programmers write Javari type qualifiers, such as the readonly type qualifier, in their programs, and the Javari typechecker detects mutation errors (incorrect side effects) or verifies their absence. While case studies have …

German Identity in the Court Festivals of the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth century Holy Roman Empire
… ‘Mortality, Masculinity, Femininity, and Mutability’. At festivals both the mortality of members of dynasties and gendered roles, ideals, and identities as noble men and women were visible. This chapter argues that the evidence of these festivals complicates any stark delineation between …
