    Turkey faces both unique and common domain name regulatory issues. In this paper, the author focuses on the challenges ahead for Turkey, with especial focus on the regulation of IDNs

    Plagiarism: concepts and contexts

    No full text
    After outlining the key difficulties in modern literature on academic plaigarism, the author suggests that these may be resolved by a new model of plaigarism (whilst noting that this new model does raise additional uncertainties, e.g. as to the status of 'self plagiarism') that she has developed

    Combined search for the Higgs boson with the D0 experiment

    Full text link
    We perform a combination of searches for standard model Higgs boson production in ppˉp\bar{p} collisions recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at a center of mass energy of s=1.96\sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. The different production and decay channels have been analyzed separately, with integrated luminosities of up to 9.7 fb1^{-1} and for Higgs boson masses 90MH20090\leq M_H \leq 200 GeV. We combine these final states to achieve optimal sensitivity to the production of the Higgs boson. We also interpret the combination in terms of models with a fourth generation of fermions, and models with suppressed Higgs boson couplings to fermions. The result excludes a standard model Higgs boson at 95% C.L. in the ranges $90 M_HM_

    Dictionary of Acoustics

    No full text
    The science and technology of acoustics embraces an unusually wide range of disciplines, from aircraft noise reduction to ultrasonics in medicine, from psychoacoustics to signal processing. The student of acoustics has to become familiar with a corresponding range of specialist terms in order to communicate with others and to understand the literature. Here, in one informative dictionary, for the first time, are listed accurate and helpful definitions to provide the student - or the specialist from another discipline - with a point of entry into the world of acoustics. The dictionary's 2,800 entries cover most of the essential concepts and terminology that the practicing acoustician needs to understand, outside the subfields of music and speech communication. The author has drawn on experience gained during a long career spent mostly at Southampton University's multidisciplinary Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, supplemented by the expertise and perspective of a team of subject specialists

    Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation

    No full text
    The 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

    Modelling of turbulent jets and wall layers: extensions of Lighthill's acoustic analogy with application to computational aeroacoustics

    No full text
    Two extensions to Lighthill’s aeroacoustic analogy are presented. First, equivalent sources due to initial conditions are derived that supplement those due to boundary conditions, as given by Ffowcs Williams & Hawkings. The resulting exact inhomogeneous wave equation is then reformulated with pressure rather than density as the wave variable, and the right-hand side is rearranged using the energy equation with no additional assumptions. Applications to computational aeroacoustics are discussed, and illustrated with examples based on 2D and 3D simulations

    Coauthor prediction for junior researchers

    Full text link
    Research collaboration can bring in different perspectives and generate more productive results. However, finding an appropriate collaborator can be difficult due to the lacking of sufficient information. Link prediction is a related technique for collaborator discovery; but its focus has been mostly on the core authors who have relatively more publications. We argue that junior researchers actually need more help in finding collaborators. Thus, in this paper, we focus on coauthor prediction for junior researchers. Most of the previous works on coauthor prediction considered global network feature and local network feature separately, or tried to combine local network feature and content feature. But we found a significant improvement by simply combing local network feature and global network feature. We further developed a regularization based approach to incorporate multiple features simultaneously. Experimental results demonstrated that this approach outperformed the simple linear combination of multiple features. We further showed that content features, which were proved to be useful in link prediction, can be easily integrated into our regularization approach. © 2013 Springer-Verlag
