The distribution of climatic characteristics of snowstorms - the number of days and duration in the territory of Adjara and Guria over the past 30 years is analyzed. A corresponding table has been compiled. Graphs have been constructed showing the change in the number and duration of snowstorms depending on the height of the area above sea level. The corresponding quadratic equations and the coefficient of determination (R2) are given

    In Georgia, in the Guria region, the territory with signs of radioactive contamination was surveyed by the GPR method. Interpretation of crossed GPR profiles for possible subsurface underground objects revealed the existence of simple and mixed burial grounds

    A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams

    No full text
    We create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Seasonal prevalence of Nosema maddoxi infection in Halyomorpha halys, an invasive pest of hazelnut orchards in Georgia

    The prevalence of the microsporidium Nosema maddoxi in populations of brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) from three sites in Guria and eight sites in Samegrelo, Georgia is described. Investigations were conducted on adults collected in fall and spring from fall 2020 to spring 2022. The prevalence of infection differed by both region and season. Total prevalence of N. maddoxi in adults from the Guria region was significantly higher than the Samegrelo region. Infection levels in fall were higher than in the spring in the Guria region, but inconsistent over seasons in the Samegrelo region. Infection levels did not differ by sex. We hypothesize that higher population densities and more adult aggregation in Guria compared with Samegrelo helps to explain the higher infection levels in Guria

    The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law

    No full text
    Abstract 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
