A two-parameter wind speed algorithm for Ku-band altimeters
No full textGlobally distributed crossovers of altimeter and scatterometer observations clearly demonstrate that ocean altimeter backscatter correlates with both the near-surface wind speed and the sea state. Satellite data from TOPEX/Poseidon and NSCAT are used to develop an empirical altimeter wind speed model that attenuates the sea-state signature and improves upon the present operational altimeter wind model. The inversion is defined using a multilayer perceptron neural network with altimeter-derived backscatter and significant wave height as inputs. Comparisons between this new model and past single input routines indicates that the rms wind error is reduced by 10%–15% in tandem with the lowering of wind error residuals dependent on the sea state. Both model intercomparison and validation of the new routine are detailed, including the use of large independent data compilations that include the SeaWinds and ERS scatterometers, ECMWF wind fields, and buoy measurements. The model provides consistent improvement against these varied sources with a wind-independent bias below 0.3 m s?1. The continuous form of the defined function, along with the global data used in its derivation, suggest an algorithm suitable for operational application to Ku-band altimeters. Further model improvement through wave height inclusion is limited due to an inherent multivaluedness between any single realization of the altimeter measurement pair [?o, HS] and observed near-surface winds. This ambiguity indicates that HS is a limited proxy for variable gravity wave properties that impact upon altimeter backscatter
Campus Open Access Funds: Experiences of the KU “One University” Open Access Author Fund
No full textINTRODUCTION: In the summer of 2012, librarians from the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses of the University of Kansas (KU) proposed the creation of a KU “One University” Open Access Fund (OA Author Fund) to support open access publishing for its faculty, students, and staff. KU is a major public research and teaching institution of 28,000 students and 2,600 faculty on five campuses (Lawrence, Kansas City, Overland Park, Wichita, and Salina) (http://ku.edu/about), and has been a leader in open access initiatives for many years. A working group of librarians came together to create and implement a pilot project to explore the administration and impact of an open access publishing fund on KU authors, and the fund was launched in October 2012.
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: This report documents the group’s experience in developing eligibility criteria and administering the OA Fund. Here we provide insight into our efforts implementing the project, funding results, and plans for continuation. We share the results of the first two years of the OA Author Fund pilot and the lessons learned about open access fund administration.
NEXT STEPS: At the close of the pilot in May 2014, the OA fund review team solicited feedback from a faculty advisory group regarding grant recipients, allocation of funds by discipline, and the application process. Based on our findings, we revised eligibility criteria to create a more equitable funding opportunity for the second pilot. The fund was re-launched using these new criteria in Fall of 2014

Os papéis de Harry Laus: um perfil do crítico de arte no jornalismo brasileiro
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2009Este trabalho tem por objetivo inventariar o conjunto documental pertencente ao escritor catarinense Harry Laus. O acervo encontra-se depositado no Núcleo de Literatura e Memória (NULIME), do curso de Pós-Graduação em Literatura da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. O levantamento destes itens documentais arrolados nesta pesquisa, consiste num sistema organizacional arranjado em séries, conforme segue: 01) Correspondência pessoal; subséries: correspondência passiva e correspondência ativa; 02) Correspondência de terceiros; 03) Correspondência familiar; 04) Produção intelectual do titular; subséries: Originais, e Cadernos/diários; 05) Produção intelectual de terceiros; subséries: Em revistas e jornais; e Encontro de escritores; 06) Documentos pessoais; 07) Diversos; subséries: Catálogos de exposições, e Outros documentos; 08) Produção na Imprensa; subséries: artigos do Correio da Manhã; artigos do JB; revista Veja; artigos do Diário de São Paulo; artigos do jornal A Notícia; artigos do Diário Catarinense; artigos do jornal O Estado; e De Autoria de terceiros. Trata-se, portanto, da busca do material já catalogado e a anexação de outros. Dessa forma, a existência do catálogo do acervo de Harry Laus constituir-se-á em importante fonte de consulta para pesquisas literárias, elaborações de edições críticas, sobretudo os estudos universitários, sendo que o rol de documentos que compõem este catálogo constitui-se em importante subsídio para trabalhos acadêmicos. E ainda a ampla divulgação da obra do escritor. Utilizamos como reflexão teórica Mal de arquivo, expressão cunhada por Jacques Derrida (2001) em seu livro homônimo, fazendo um recorte diante desta compulsão, desse desejo de memória, na busca incessante do arquivável, selecionando e recalcando as marcas deixadas na superfície ou na espessura de uma inscrição em um suporte.This work aims at cataloguing the entirety of extant documentation pertaining to the Brazilian writer (born in Santa Catarina state), Harry Laus. The state is kept at Nucleo de Literatura e Memória (NULIME) the center of literare memory of the post-graduation course in literature at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina(Brazil). The assembled documentation comprised in this research work is set down in series, as follows: 1) Personal correspondence comprising the subserials; 2) Received correspondence, sent correspondence, correspondence of the writer; 3) Familial correspondence; 4) Intelelctual production of the writer: subseries: Unpublished, and Notebook/diary; 5) Published intellectual production of third parties; subseries: in weekly magazines and newspapers and in Writers meeting; 6) Personal papers; 7) Productions of the newspaper: subseries: Catalogues of exhibitions, and others documents; 8) press clippings. articles at the newspapers Correio da Manha, Jornal do Brasil JB, the weekly magazine Veja, weekly articles at the Diario de Sao Paulo, at A Notícia; at Diário Catarinense; at O Estado; and Autorship of third parties. The work comprises material both already catalogued and new one. So being, the availability of a catalogue comprising the Harry Laus state will become an important source for both literary research work, and elaboration of critical editions and, above all, for collegial work. The entirety of the extant documentation may assist academic works. Not to mention a more comprehensive acquaintanceship with the writers works. The work has started with a theoretical reflection on the archive sickness, an expression coined by Jacques Derrida (2001) in his homonymous book. Underlining the existing compulsion, hunger for memories, the constant search of the fileable, both selecting and strengthening the marks left on the surface or on the bulk of a registered fact
SparrKULee: A Speech-evoked Auditory Response Repository of the KU Leuven, containing EEG of 85 participants

Researchers investigating the neural mechanisms underlying speech perception often employ electroencephalography (EEG)
to record brain activity while participants listen to spoken language. The high temporal resolution of EEG enables the study of
neural responses to fast and dynamic speech signals. Previous studies have successfully extracted speech characteristics
from EEG data and, conversely, predicted EEG activity from speech features.
Machine learning techniques are generally employed to construct encoding and decoding models, which necessitate a
substantial amount of data.
We present SparrKULee: A Speech-evoked Auditory Repository of EEG, measured at KU Leuven,
comprising 64-channel EEG recordings from 85 young individuals with normal hearing, each of whom listened to 90-150
minutes of natural speech. This dataset is more extensive than any currently available dataset in terms of both the number of
participants and the amount of data per participant. It is suitable for training larger machine learning models. We evaluate the
dataset using linear and state-of-the-art non-linear models in a speech encoding/decoding and match/mismatch paradigm,
providing benchmark scores for future research.
