A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe 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 textWe 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
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
Physiculus lakshadeepa Idrees Babu & Ho & Mariyambi & Sureshkumar 2022, sp. nov.
No full textPhysiculus lakshadeepa sp. nov. Common name: Lakshadweep codling Figs. 3‒5, Table 1 Holotype. MTRLDST 00112, 164 mm SL, 192 mm TL, India, Lakshadweep, East Coast of Kavaratti Island, 10°33’49.9”N, 72°39’4.0”E, from 350 m depth, 9 April 2018. Paratypes. MTRLDST 00113, 125 mm SL, 143 mm TL; MTRLDST 00114, 183 mm SL, 224 mm TL; both collected with holotype. Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality, Lakshadweep. Diagnosis. A species of Physiculus with light organ situated at about the middle of pelvic-fin base and anus; light organ small, anus rather forward in position, closer to the light organ; gular region smooth without scales; Physiculus lakshadeepa differs from the Indian congeners in having relatively high first dorsal fin, with first ray filamentous, except for that of P. capensis, P. beckeri and P. roseus; P. lakshadeepa differs from P. capensis in having scales on snout (vs snout smooth) and teeth in equally sized (vs in graded series); from P. beckeri in having 84‒95 scales in longitudinal series (vs 115‒130) and less tall first dorsal fin; and from P. roseus in having fewer second dorsal-fin rays and more gill rakers. Compared with the other species in the Pacific Ocean, P. lakshadeepa resembles only P. chigodarana, which has the first dorsal fin distinctly higher than the second. However, P. lakshadeepa differs from the latter in lacking gular scales (vs present in P. chigodarana), fewer second dorsal-fin rays; fewer anal fin rays; light organ situated rather backward; anus situated rather backward (InV-An 41.7‒58.2% InV-af vs 38.7‒43.7%); more gill rackers, and fewer vertebrae. Description. The morphometric data given in Table 1 is for the holotype, followed by the range of measurements from the paratypes in parentheses, except when otherwise indicated. Body slender and long, compressed posteriorly; head moderately small, depressed anteriorly; eye large 24.7% (19.1‒28.5%) in HL; interorbital space broad, 30.1% (25.4‒30.7%) in HL; snout broad and rounded, length 24.7% (24.7‒25.9%) in HL, protruding slightly beyond the upper jaw.

Abdominal cavity reaching the 13th pterygiophore of the anal fin. Scales small and deciduous, 90 (84‒95) in longitudinal series; 7 (6‒7) scale rows between the first dorsal-fin base and lateral line. Cycloid scales cover the head and body, except for the branchiostegal membrane and the gular region are completely scaleless. Continuous tube of lateral line reaching 10th ray of the second dorsal fin, followed by discontinuous short tubes on the lateral line reaching caudal peduncle. Caudal fin rounded and fan-shaped, well separated from dorsal and anal fins. Caudal peduncle short than orbit diameter, its length 17.1% (17.1‒19.7%) HL. First dorsal fin higher than second, first dorsal-fin ray elongated and filamentous, its length 62.8% HL (51.7% in 1 paratype and broken in another one). A very small gap separates the first from the second dorsal fins. Origin of first dorsal fin slightly behind a vertical through the pectoral-fin base; the origin of the second dorsal fin at a vertical through 4th anal-fin ray. Pelvic fin slender, two outermost rays slightly filamentous, extending to 7th ray of the anal fin. The pectoral fin extends up to the 7th ray of the second dorsal fin.

Vertebrae: 12 (11‒12) precaudal, 37 (37‒38) caudal, and 49 (49) in total. Colouration. When fresh, head and body dark brown, slightly reddish on tail, caudal fin base dark brown and abdomen silvery blue. Branchiostegal membranes black; first dorsal fin pink, with broad black margin; second dorsal fin pink, gradually becoming red posteriorly, with narrow black margin; pectoral fin red with black base; pelvic fin dark brown; anal fin red with black margin; caudal fin deep red with posterior third black. Colour when preserved, head and body light brown and abdomen silvery.Published as part of Idrees Babu, K. K., Ho, Hsaun-Ching, Mariyambi, P.

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)

Dissipative Range Scaling of Higher Order Structure Functions for Velocity and Passive Scalars
No full textDifferently to Kolmogorov's second similarity hypothesis, we find that the 2n-th order velocity and scalar structure functions scale with n-th order moment of the energy dissipation and the scalar dissipation, respectively. The origins of this scaling are analyzed by the transport equations of the fourth order velocity and scalar increment moments and by direct numerical simulations
