Meta Organizational Influences on Scientific IT Infrastructure Development
No full textBy taking an organizational communication approach to examine the meta influences on scientific IT infrastructure development, a preliminary analysis reveals that existing practices in a field with the Internet and computer technologies, the agenda of the funding agency, and the competing theories and methodologies held by participating scientists and groups are three such meta organizational influences. Instead of presenting key findings in the form of statements, the student author instead raises meta questions to be asked as we develop and design large-scale scientific IT infrastructure in the early 21st century.Submitted by Heekyung Choi ([email protected]) on 2010-02-26T16:21:51Z

Stratigraphy and reservoir properties, Devonian Kee Scarp Formation, Norman Wells, Northwest Territories
No full textThe Kee Scarp Formation in the subsurface at Norman
Wells, Northwest Territories, forms an elongate, northeast
trending, flat-topped mound. Oil is produced on
the up-dip northeast edge. The formation consists of
two distinct members; a lower, argillaceous, bedded coralline
limestone referred to as the platform member and an overlying,
massive member of variable facies referred to as
the reef complex. Cores were examined from the Norman
Wells oil field, underlying the Mackenzie River, and
from outcrops a few miles to the northeast. Reconstructions
suggest that the oil field cores are from one atoll-like
structure and the outcrop carbonates from another.
These structures may have been moditied by pre-Canol
erosion.
Stromatoporoids are the most abundant fossils found
in the Kee Scarp reef complex, and were the principal
reef builders. The shape and size of the coenostea are
useful in making environmental interpretations, since
individuals commonly assume a variety of environmentallycontrolled
shapes.
The petrographic and palaeontologie characteristics
of the sediments are used to define six major facies within
the Kee Scarp. These are the Amphipora packstone facies, the massive stromatoporoid grainstone facies, the stromatoporoid
packstone facies, the fine pellet packstone facies,
the dendroid stromatoporoid packstone facies, and the coral
packstone facies. Division of the Kee Scarp reef complex
into fore-reef, organic reef and back-reef zones is based
on the environmental interpretation of the six main facies.
In general, the fore-reef zone is characterized by the
stromatoporoid packstone and fine pellet packstone facies,
the organic reef by the massive stromatoporoid grainstone
facies, and the back-reef zone by the fine pellet packstone
and Amphipora packstone facies.
Three pore types are recognized in the Kee Scarp;
interparticle pores (mainly interpelletal), pores
associated with stylolites, and pores associated with
spar cement. Interparticle matrix pores are quantitatively
the most important pore type.
Reservoir properties were determined using an air
displacement porometer and a mercury injection apparatus.
They are most favorable in the fine pellet packstone and
stromatoporoid packstone facies. In these facies, the
average porosity is 20 per cent, the average permeability
is 2 millidarcies, and the average pore size is 0.1
millimeters in diameter. Porosities and permeabilities
are better in the subsurface than in the outcrop, for comparable lithologies. At best, the reservoir properties
of the Kee Scarp are only fair when compared to the
reservoir properties of other western Canada Devonian
reservoirs.

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
A model on knowledge and endogenous growth
No full textThe authors present a model of endogenous growth in which the main engine of economic development is knowledge. Using a two-sector closed economy model that comprises of a conventional goods-producing sector and a research and development sector, their model incorporates two key aspects of knowledge: technology and human capital. Steady-state equilibrium conditions show that the growth rate of per capita income hinges on the growth rate of human capital. While the growth rate of human capital has been previously shown to affect the growth of the economy in transition between steady states or balanced growth paths, the authors are the first to link the growth rate of human capital to the steady-state growth rate of productivity and output per worker. Furthermore, this result does not exhibit scale effects or policy invariance, both of which have been longstanding concerns with the predictions of endogenous growth models developed in the 1990s.Economic Growth,Achieving Shared Growth,Economic Theory&Research,Governance Indicators,Health Monitoring&Evaluation

Being Immersed in Social Networking Environment: Facebook Groups, Uses and Gratifications, and Social Outcomes
No full textA Web survey of 1,715 college students was conducted to examine Facebook Groups users' gratifications and the relationship between users' gratifications and their political and civic participation offline. A factor analysis revealed four primary needs for participating in groups within Facebook: socializing, entertainment, self-status seeking, and information. These gratifications vary depending on user demographics such as gender, hometown, and year in school. The analysis of the relationship between users' needs and civic and political participation indicated that, as predicted, informational uses were more correlated to civic and political action than to recreational uses.Communication Studie

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
