    The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function

    No full text
    This thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

    Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation

    No full text
    Simulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

    Diffusivity of point defects in the passive film on Fe

    Diffusivity of point defects (DO) in the passive film formed on Fe in deaerated pH 8.5 buffer solution at ambient temperature was estimated by the Mott-Schottky analysis based on the Point Defect Model and surface charge approach assuming that donors are oxygen vacancies and/or iron interstitials. From the exponential decay of the concentration of donors with film formation potential, Do was calculated to be 1.69 x 10(-20) cm(2) s(-1). (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

    Fabrication of CIGS solar cells with a Na-doped Mo layer on a Na-free substrate

    No full text
    The photovoltaic properties of CIGS cells on an alumina substrate were improved through the use of Na-doped Mo as the bottom layer of a Mo back contact. Na was supplied to the CIGS bulk region from an alumina/Na-doped Mo/Mo structure, similar to the Na diffusion from soda-lime glass. The diffusion of Na from the Na-doped Mo was controlled effectively compared to that from Soda-lime glass (SLG). The present results indicate that Na-doped Mo acts as a Na source material and that the Na amount can be controlled by adjustment of thickness of Na-doped Mo layer, without the use of an alkali barrier layer. The highest conversion efficiency of 13.34% (J(sc) = 34.62 mA/cm(2), V-oc = 0. 5 8 V and FF = 66%) for an active area of 0.45 cm 2 on an alumina substrate was obtained for 100 nm Na-doped Mo/1000 nm Mo.
