A scientometric analysis of 15 years of CHINZ conferences
No full textCHINZ is the annual conference of the New Zealand Chapter of the Special Interest Group for Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) of the ACM. In this paper we analyse the history of CHINZ through citations, authorship and online presence. CHINZ appears to compare well with the larger APCHI conference on citation-based measures. 42% of CHINZ papers were found as open access versions on the web
Finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over dual Radford algebras
No full textFor n, m ∈ N, let Hn,m be the dual of the Radford algebra of dimension n 2m. We present new finite-dimensional Nichols algebras arising from the study of simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over Hn,m. Along the way, we describe the simple objects in Hn,m Hn,m YD and their projective envelopes. Then, we determine those simple modules that give rise to finite-dimensional Nichols algebras for the case n = 2. There are 18 possible cases. We present by generators and relations the corresponding Nichols algebras on five of these eighteen cases. As an application, we characterize finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over indecomposable modules for n = 2 = m and n = 2, m = 3, which recovers some results of the second and third author in the former case, and of Xiong in the latter.Fil: Bagio, D..

Metadata Quality for Digital Libraries
No full textThe quality of metadata in a digital library is an important factor in ensuring access for end-users. Several studies have tried to define quality frameworks and assess metadata but there is little user feedback about these in the literature. As collections grow in size maintaining quality through manual methods becomes increasingly difficult for repository managers.
This research presents the design and implementation of a web-based metadata analysis tool for digital repositories. The tool is built as an extension to the Greenstone3 digital library software.
We present examples of the tool in use on real-world data and provide feedback from repository managers. The evidence from our studies shows that automated quality analysis tools are useful and valued service for digital libraries

Higher memory effects and the post-Newtonian calculation of their gravitational-wave signals
No full textA new hierarchy of lasting gravitational-wave effects (the higher memory effects) was recently identified in asymptotically flat spacetimes, with the better-known displacement, spin, and center-of-mass memory effects included as the lowest two orders in the set of these effects. These gravitational-wave observables are determined by a set of temporal moments of the news tensor, which describes gravitational radiation from an isolated source. The moments of the news can be expressed in terms of changes in charge-like expressions and integrals over retarded time of flux-like terms, some of which vanish in the absence of radiation. In this paper, we compute expressions for the flux-like contributions to the moments of the news in terms of a set of multipoles that characterize the gravitational-wave strain. We also identify a part of the strain that gives rise to these moments of the news. In the context of post-Newtonian theory, we show that the strain related to the moments of the news is responsible for the many nonlinear, instantaneous terms and 'memory' terms that appear in the post-Newtonian expressions for the radiative multipole moments of the strain. We also apply our results to compute the leading post-Newtonian expressions for the moments of the news and the corresponding strains that are generated during the inspiral of compact binary sources. These results provide a new viewpoint on the waveforms computed from the multipolar post-Minkowski formalism, and they could be used to assess the detection prospects of this new class of higher memory effects

Secondary accretion of dark matter in intermediate mass-ratio inspirals: Dark-matter dynamics and gravitational-wave phase
No full textWhen particle dark matter is bound gravitationally around a massive black
hole in sufficiently high densities, the dark matter will affect the rate of
inspiral of a secondary compact object that forms a binary with the massive
black hole. In this paper, we revisit previous estimates of the impact of
dark-matter accretion by black-hole secondaries on the emitted gravitational
waves. We identify a region of parameter space of binaries for which estimates
of the accretion were too large (specifically, because the dark-matter
distribution was assumed to be unchanging throughout the process, and the
secondary black hole accreted more mass in dark matter than that enclosed
within the orbit of the secondary). To restore consistency in these scenarios,
we propose and implement a method to remove dark-matter particles from the
distribution function when they are accreted by the secondary. This new
feedback procedure then satisfies mass conservation, and when evolved with
physically reasonable initial data, the mass accreted by the secondary no
longer exceeds the mass enclosed within its orbital radius. Comparing the
simulations with accretion feedback to those without this feedback, including
feedback leads to a smaller gravitational-wave dephasing from binaries in which
only the effects of dynamical friction are being modeled. Nevertheless, the
dephasing can be hundreds to almost a thousand gravitational-wave cycles, an
amount that should allow the effects of accretion to be inferred from
gravitational-wave measurements of these systems.Comment: 24 pages, 6 figures; v2: fixed typos, matches version published in

Bathyraja microtrachys Osburn & Nichols 1916
No full textBathyraja microtrachys (Osburn & Nichols, 1916) Description: The egg cases of Bathyraja microtrachys (Figure 5) are small, 79 to 81 mm in length, with MAW about 63–64 % of ECL. The egg case surface is coarsely striated, with irregular rasplike denticles, making its texture very rough to the touch. LKW is very narrow, <5 % of MAW and not extending onto horns. Anterior apron border of egg case broad, deeply concave, anterior horns robust at base, but flattening towards tips and becoming threadlike, tips curving dorsally and back towards egg case. Posterior apron is nearly straight, broad, and transverse, width similar to anterior. Posterior horns robust at base, very long, about 66 % length of anteriors and about 1.1 times ECL, curved inwards, each tapering to a threadlike tip. Attachment fibers present, extending length of lateral keel. Egg cases removed from a single preserved specimen were a dark golden brown. Remarks: This is the first confirmed record, and description, of the egg case of this species. The egg cases described here were removed in utero from a 62.8 cm TL specimen (SIO 8780). Cox (1963: Figure 7) suggested that the egg case he described and illustrated as B. trachura may eventually prove to be this species. However, the term embryo that was removed from that egg case (CAS 25617), and described below, appear to be that of B. spinossisima (Ebert, 2005). Until recently this species had been considered a synonym of B. trachura (Ebert, 2003). However, examination of the holotypes of B. microtrachys and B. trachura by the senior author, plus additional material confirm that these species are distinct. To further separate these two species their egg cases can be used to distinguish them from each other. The egg case of B. microtrachys differs from that of B. trachura in that the former has very narrow lateral keels and a coarsely striated surface texture that is rough to the touch, while the latter has very broad lateral keels and is smooth to the touch. Bathyraja microtrachys is one of the deepest occurring skate species, known to occur down to at least 3,100 m (unpublished data). The shallowest record of this species is the holotype known from 1,995 m. All other records of it have come from depths greater than 2,000 m. Material examined: SIO 8780, 62.8 cm TL, off Waldport, Oregon (44.4130 N, 125.3410 W), 2850 m, 6 February 1987.Published as part of Ebert, David A. & Davis, Chante D., 2007, Descriptions of skate egg cases (Chondrichthyes: Rajiformes: Rajoidei) from the eastern North Pacific, pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 1393 on pages 6-7, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17529
That's 'é' not 'þ' '?' or '☐': a user-driven context-aware approach to erroneous metadata in digital libraries
No full textIn this paper we present a novel system for user-driven integration of name variants when interacting with web-based information systems. The growth and diversity of online information means that many users experience disambiguation and collocation errors in their information searching. We approach these issues via a client-side JavaScript browser extension that can reorganise web content and also integrate remote data sources. The system is illustrated through three worked examples using existing digital libraries
