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
Does the Duncan-Ely test predict abnormal activity of the rectus femoris in stroke survivors with a stiff knee gait?
No full textObjective: To determine the diagnostic value of the Duncan-Ely test in predicting abnormal rectus femoris activity during gait in stroke survivors walking with a stiff knee gait. Design: Cross-sectional diagnostic study. Subjects: A total of 95 patients with chronic stroke. Methods: During physical examination, the Duncan-Ely test was performed and scored. Surface electromyography of the rectus femoris was then recorded during dynamic gait. To determine the diagnostic value, the results of the Duncan-Ely test and surface electromyography recordings (gold standard) were compared. Results: The Duncan-Ely test had a sensitivity of 73%, a specificity of 29%, a positive predictive value of 60%, and a negative predictive value of 42%. The area under the curve was 0.488 ([AQ1] CI 0.355–0.621, p = 0.862), showing that the Duncan-Ely test is not better than random guessing. Conclusion: The Duncan-Ely test has no predictive value for determining abnormal activity of the rectus femoris during gait. Using this test can lead to incorrect identification of abnormal rectus femoris activity, which might hamper the selection of optimal treatment options. We recommend stopping use of the Duncan-Ely test to predict rectus femoris overactivity during swing, and instead use surface electromyography

Simulating Dye-Sensitized TiO2 Heterointerfaces in Explicit Solvent: Absorption Spectra, Energy Levels, and Dye Desorption
No full textDye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) represent a valuable,
efficient, and low-cost alternative to conventional semiconductor
photovoltaic devices. A deeper understanding of the dye/semiconductor
heterointerface and of the dye-sensitized semiconductor/
electrolyte interactions are fundamental for further progress in
DSC technology. Here we report an ab initio molecular dynamics
simulation of a dye-sensitized TiO2 heterointerface “immersed” in an
explicit water environment for an efficient organic dye, followed by
TDDFT excited state calculations of the coupled dye/semiconductor/
solvent system. This new computational protocol and the extended model system allows us to gain unprecedented insight into
the excited state changes occurring for the solvated dye-sensitized heterointerface at room temperature, and to provide an atomistic
picture of water-mediated dye desorption
