Domain Names in Turkey
No full textTurkey faces both unique and common domain name regulatory issues. In this paper, the author focuses on the challenges ahead for Turkey, with especial focus on the regulation of IDNs
Plagiarism: concepts and contexts
No full textAfter outlining the key difficulties in modern literature on academic plaigarism, the author suggests that these may be resolved by a new model of plaigarism (whilst noting that this new model does raise additional uncertainties, e.g. as to the status of 'self plagiarism') that she has developed
Dictionary of Acoustics
No full textThe science and technology of acoustics embraces an unusually wide range of disciplines, from aircraft noise reduction to ultrasonics in medicine, from psychoacoustics to signal processing. The student of acoustics has to become familiar with a corresponding range of specialist terms in order to communicate with others and to understand the literature. Here, in one informative dictionary, for the first time, are listed accurate and helpful definitions to provide the student - or the specialist from another discipline - with a point of entry into the world of acoustics. The dictionary's 2,800 entries cover most of the essential concepts and terminology that the practicing acoustician needs to understand, outside the subfields of music and speech communication. The author has drawn on experience gained during a long career spent mostly at Southampton University's multidisciplinary Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, supplemented by the expertise and perspective of a team of subject specialists
Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
Memorial service at the grave of Patrick F. Healy, S.J., in the Jesuit Community Cemetery at Georgetown University
No full textMembers of the Georgetown community gathered at the grave of Patrick F. Healy, S.J. (1834-1910) in the Jesuit cemetery on March 27, 1974 for a memorial service. Fr. Healy's weathered grave had been restored by the Patrick Healy Commemorative Committee, established by the University president to observe the 100th anniversary of Fr. Healy's appointment as Georgetown president in 1874. C.L. Stankiewicz, S.J. (far right), rector of the Jesuit Community, and Joseph T. Durkin, S.J. (second right), member of the Committee, conducted the service.Repository: Booth Family Center for Special Collections. For more information about this collection please email: [email protected]
Modelling of turbulent jets and wall layers: extensions of Lighthill's acoustic analogy with application to computational aeroacoustics
No full textTwo extensions to Lighthill’s aeroacoustic analogy are presented. First, equivalent sources due to initial conditions are derived that supplement those due to boundary conditions, as given by Ffowcs Williams & Hawkings. The resulting exact inhomogeneous wave equation is then reformulated with pressure rather than density as the wave variable, and the right-hand side is rearranged using the energy equation with no additional assumptions. Applications to computational aeroacoustics are discussed, and illustrated with examples based on 2D and 3D simulations
Coauthor prediction for junior researchers
No full textResearch collaboration can bring in different perspectives and generate more productive results. However, finding an appropriate collaborator can be difficult due to the lacking of sufficient information. Link prediction is a related technique for collaborator discovery; but its focus has been mostly on the core authors who have relatively more publications. We argue that junior researchers actually need more help in finding collaborators. Thus, in this paper, we focus on coauthor prediction for junior researchers. Most of the previous works on coauthor prediction considered global network feature and local network feature separately, or tried to combine local network feature and content feature. But we found a significant improvement by simply combing local network feature and global network feature. We further developed a regularization based approach to incorporate multiple features simultaneously. Experimental results demonstrated that this approach outperformed the simple linear combination of multiple features. We further showed that content features, which were proved to be useful in link prediction, can be easily integrated into our regularization approach. © 2013 Springer-Verlag
Modernism and empire:Writing and British coloniality, 1980-1940
No full textThis is the first book to explore the relationship between literary modernism and the British Empire. Contributors look at works from the traditional modernist canon as well as extending the range of work addresses - particularly emphasising texts from the Empire. A key issue raised is whether modernism sprang from a crisis in the colonial system, which it sought to extend, or whether the modern movement was a more sophisticated form of cultural imperialism. The chapters in Modernism and empire show the importance of empire to modernism.Patrick Williams theorises modernism and empire; Rod Edmond discusses theories of degeneration in imperial and modernist discourse; Helen Carr examines Imagism and empire; Elleke Boehmer compares Leonard Woolf and Yeats; Janet Montefiore writes on Kipling and Orwell, C.L. Innes explores Yeats, Joyce and their implied audiences; Maire Ni Fhlathuin writes on Patrick Pearse and modernism; John Nash considers newspapers, imperialism and Ulysses; Howard J. Booth addresses D.H. Lawrence and otherness; Nigel Rigby discusses Sylvia Townsend Warner and sexuality in the Pacific; Mark Williams explores Mansfield and Maori culture; Abdulrazak Gurnah looks at Karen Blixen, Elspeth Huxley and settler writing; and Bill Ashcroft and John Salter take an inter-disciplinary approach to Australia and 'Modernism's Empire'
