No full textDataset: A. pisonii: sun-shadeThis dataset includes the proportion of time the mangrove crab, A. pisonii, spent in sun and shade in a mangrove, under a dock, and in a nearby salt marsh for a study of Aratus pisonii behavior. These data are presented in Cannizzo et al, (2018) Ecol & Evol.

On the occurrence of dwarf nova outbursts in post novae
No full textWe show that irradiation of the accretion disc by the white dwarf limits the occurrence of dwarf nova outbursts in post nova accretion discs. After the nova explosion, the white dwarf has to cool for up to similar to 100 yr - depending on the orbital period (i.e., disc size) and the temperature of the white dwarf after the nova-eruption - before the disc can begin producing dwarf nova outbursts. During this time the inner disc is maintained in a hot, ionised state. Using these calculations, we interpret the long-term photometric variability of the post nova V446 Her (Nova Her 1960) which shows today regular dwarf nova outbursts. As the white dwarf in V446 Her continues to cool over the next similar to 10-20 yr, we predict an increase in the amplitude of outbursts and a decrease of the outburst frequency, because the decreasing irradiation of the accretion disc should allow an increasing annular extent of the accretion disc to participate in limit cycle oscillations
A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing
No full textIn this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
GRB 110328A/Swift J164449.3+573451 : The Tidal Obliteration of a Deeply Plunging Star?
No full textWe examine the tidal disruption event (TDE) scenario to explain Sw 1644+57, a powerful and persistent X-ray source which suddenly became active as GRB 110328A. The precise localization at the center of a z = 0.35 galaxy argues for activity of the central engine as the underlying cause. We look at the suggestion by Bloom et al. of the possibility of a TDE. We argue that Sw 1644+57 cannot be explained by the traditional TDE model in which the periastron distance is close to the tidal disruption radius—three independent lines of argument indicate the orbit must be deeply plunging or else the powerful jet we are observing could not be produced. These arguments stem from (1) comparing the early X-ray light curve to the expected theoretical fallback rate, (2) looking at the time of transition to disk-dominated decay, and (3) considering the TDE rate. Due to the extreme excess in the tidal force above that which would be required minimally to disrupt the star in a deeply plunging orbit at periastron, we suggest this scenario might be referred to more descriptively as a tidal obliteration event (TOE) rather than a TDE
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
