Drilling is not boring : geoarchaeological research at Abu Tbeirah
No full textThis chapter presents the outcomes
of the geo-archaeological research at the ancient
Sumerian site of Abu Tbeirah, spanning from
the third to the early second millennia bc. In
collaboration with Sapienza University of Rome,
the University of Qadisiyah, and Milano University,
this study focuses on of the site’s urban water-
management system, offering insights into
Sumerian hydraulic engineering. Employing
field analysis and satellite imagery, the research
focuses on the natural channels surrounding the
city, artificial canals, and water-related structures
within the Tell. Additionally, the chapter delves
into the site’s environmental context, elucidating
the evolution of the palaeo-channel crossing Abu
Tbeirah and its historical significance. Practical
challenges encountered during fieldwork, and
the solutions devised, are also highlighted. This
research underscores the pivotal role of fluvial
dynamics in shaping the city’s development and
the ramifications of environmental adaptations on the settlement. Notably, the study reveals how the
Sumerians leveraged natural elements such as river
bends and oxbow lakes to engineer sophisticated
water-management systems, facilitating urban
expansion

Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
Get PDFFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
Structural Analysis of a Micro-Former Based on Results from the Forming Analysis of Milli-Component
Get PDFVerona, ItalyManufacturing process for milli-components has recently gained researcher’s focus with the increasing tendency toward highly integrated and micro-scaled parts for electronic devices. This process, however, requires high production cost and more accurate final shapes than the conservative forming process technique. In order to fulfill this requirements, the numerical analysis must be preceded in design of the dies and dimensions for components. This paper is concerned with the forming analysis and the structural analysis of milli-components. Forming analysis of milli-components has been studied with a new micro-former with progressive dies. Multi-stage forming sequence has been analyzed with finite element method by LS-DYNA3D. The analysis considers the effect of elastic dies on the dimensional accuracy of the formed parts in order to enhance the forming accuracy and productivity. The analysis result demonstrates that the elastic analysis in the milli-forming process is indispensable for accurate forming analysis. And then, structural analysis for a micro-former has been carried out using the forming analysis results such as punch loads and die pressure. The result provides useful information in design of a new micro-former and milli-components
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
"Once Upon a Time There was a Poor but Proud Young Man!": The Legacy of Oral Culture in Turkish Television Series
No full textIn spite of the Ottoman modernization that started in the 19th century and the reforms of the Republic, Turkey has not yet evolved into a society of literate culture. Yesilcam Cinema, which has made people get in touch with life, leans on the legacy of oral culture products in a society that has a weak literate culture. The TV series maintain the oral culture tradition with their protagonists that look like Keloglan in the folk tales, repeating themes, everlasting plots, concentrating on external conflict rather than internal conflict and dramatic structures that are largely based on dialogs just like Yesilcam Cinema does. This study, taking recourse to Walter J. Ong's (1999) concepts of primary and secondary orality, aims to trace back the oral culture in television series produced in Turkey. Television series that are considered as the products of secondary oral culture are alike the products of primary oral culture in terms of speech patterns, archetypal heroes and audience types. Authors such as Barry Sanders (1999), Marshall McLuhan (2001), Robert Fulford (2014) and Walter Benjamin (1995) all point out the transformation of oral tradition in mass culture. Joseph Campbell (2000) analyzes oral cultures in terms of the hero's mythological journey. The characters, the theme and the plot of the TV series Kara Seuda, which was chosen for purposeful sampling, are being analyzed by using the mentioned authors' arguments in this study. Turkish TV series are watched widely in the Balkans, the Central Asia, the Arab Peninsula, the North Africa and the South America states that are still dominated by oral culture as well. The secret of this international commercial success should be sought in the historical, sociological, political, cultural and economic common ground of Turkey and the states watching Turkish TV series. This mentioned common ground can be subsumed under three categories: Experiencing a belated modernity process, being considered a third-world country and having a strong oral culture tradition. Eventually, the people of countries that suffer from similar pains find solace in similar stories
