Guidelines for Measuring and Reporting Environmental Parameters for Experiments in Greenhouses
No full textThe importance of appropriate, accurate measurement and reporting of environmental parameters in plant sciences is a significant aspect of quality assurance for all researchers and their research. There is a clear need for ensuring research across the world can be compared, understood and where necessary replicated by fellow researchers. A common set of guidelines to educate, assist and encourage comparativeness is of great importance. On the other hand, the level of effort and attention to detail by an individual researcher should be commensurate with the particular research being conducted. For example, a researcher focusing on interactions of light and temperature should measure all relevant parameters and report a measurement summary that includes sufficient detail allowing for replication. Such detail may be less relevant when the impact of environmental parameters on plant growth and development is not the main research focus. However, it should be noted that the environmental experience of a plant during production can have significant impact when subsequent experiments investigate plants at a molecular, biochemical or genetic level or where species interactions are considered. Thus, researchers are encouraged to make a critical assessment of what parameters are of primary importance in their research and these parameters should be measured and reported.© 2015 Both et al.

The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
Get PDFAbstract
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
Judith Marcus and Zoltán Tarr collection 1903-2011 1950-2011
No full textThis collection encompasses the life and work of married Hungarian sociologists Judith Marcus and Zoltán Tarr, and their contributions to the work of the German sociologist Werner J. Cahnman after his death in 1980. The bulk of the material primarily dates after Marcus’ and Tarr’s immigration to the United States around 1960. It is comprised of their own research material in subject areas such as the Frankfurt School of Social Research, as well as primary source material from the estate of Werner J. Cahnman. The Cahnman material was used to publish some of his unpublished books and also for use in Marcus’ and Tarr’s unfinished Cahnman biography project.Judith Marcus (born as Lenke Bóta in Celldömölk, Hungary on August 9, 1929) and Zoltán Tarr (born on July 10, 1929) were Hungarian sociologists. Both served as secretary of the Rashi Association for the Preservation of Jewish Cultural Monuments in Europe, founded by Werner J. Cahnman around 1978. Marcus and Tarr were married around 1956 in Hungary. After the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 they moved from Budapest, Hungary, to Germany and then immigrated to the US in around 1963, settling in New York City in 1971. - Both worked on a biography of their friend and fellow refugee scholar, sociologist Werner J. Cahnman, with generous funding from the Cahnman Foundation. Cahnman’s unpublished manuscripts were preserved by Dr. Gisella Levi Cahnman, Werner Cahnman’s widow, in shared executorship with Marcus and Tarr. Both wrote or edited together and individually a number of books in their lifetime. Judith Marcus passed away in New York City on March 19, 2015, followed shortly after by her husband Zoltán Tarr.See also The Library of Judith Marcus and Zoltán Tarr, LBI Library call number: st Tarr*.Finding aid available onlineThe Cahnman Foundation provided funds for processing the collection in 2018.Processe
Ernst Marcus, Breslau, Collection 1908-1983 Bulk dates: 1954-1980
No full textThis collection contains materials relating to Breslau lawyer Ernest Frederick (Ernst Friedrich) Marcus. Correspondence is mostly personal, primarily with family and friends originally from Breslau, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Other materials include documents pertaining to his work in Breslau, and general documents and correspondence relating to the Jews of Breslau. Also included are photographs and some educational, military, and vital records. Materials relating to Marcus' wife Lucie Ritter Marcus include samples of commercial and personal artwork, professional correspondence, and ephemera.Ernest Frederick Marcus (September 20, 1890, Breslau - December 31, 1982, San Francisco) was born to Leopold Marcus (d. 1910) and Isidore (Doris) née Gomma (1867-circa 1942) in Breslau. He attended the gymnasium "Zum Heiligen Geist" in Breslau and studied law at the universities of Munich and Breslau. He served in the German army during World War One, earning an Iron Cross, second class in 1917. In 1919 he became an attorney in Breslau. In 1921, he married Lucie Ritter (1895-1967), daughter of Gustav (Moses Gerschel) Ritter and Luise née Salamonski. Marcus was able to keep practicing law despite the 1933 anti-Semitic laws barring Jews from the professions due to the exemption for World War One veterans. He and his wife emigrated to Holland in September 1938 and then to New York. They soon left for Los Angeles, and in the 1950s settled in San Francisco. He worked as a bookkeeper and accountant in the United States.
