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

A kinetics and mechanistic study of the atmospherically relevant reaction between molecular chlorine and dimethyl sulfide (DMS)
No full textA gas-phase kinetics study of the atmospherically important reaction between Cl2 and dimethyl sulfide (DMS)Cl2 + CH3SCH3 → products has been made using a flow-tube interfaced to a photoelectron spectrometer. The rate constant for this reaction has been measured at 1.6 and 3.0 torr at T = (294 ± 2) K as (3.4 ± 0.7) × 10–14 cm3 molecule–1 s–1. Reaction (1) has been found to proceed via an intermediate, (CH3)2SCl2, to give CH3SCH2Cl and HCl as the products. The mechanism of this reaction and the structure of the intermediate were investigated using electronic structure calculations. A comparison of the mechanisms of the reactions between Cl atoms and DMS, and Cl2 and DMS has been made and the relevance of the results to atmospheric chemistry is discussed
Morris Lessmore für den Oscar nominiert
No full text<![CDATA[Die iPad-App „The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore“ ist ja nicht direkt ein Buch, sondern mehr ein interaktives Erlebnis. Neben dem Lesen kann man noch kleine Aufgaben lösen, mit einigen Extras herumspielen, das ganze ist ein netter Zeitvertreib, besonders natürlich für Kinder. Das nebenstehende Bild stammt auch auch von einem einem einfachen Spiel in Form einer Buchstabensuppe aus der App. Während das Buch Our Choice von Al Gore, das ja im Prinzip auf dem iPad genauso funktioniert, eher (populär)wissenschaftlich daher kommt, ist Morris Lessmore auf dem iPad mehr als Spiel (man braucht auch nicht selbst zu lesen, sondern kann den Vorleser ab- und zuschalten), denn als Buch zu zu nutzen und ist sehr attraktiv gestaltet. Der nominierte Film hier: The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore from Moonbot Studios on Vimeo. [via Nerdcore]]]

Investigation of the interaction of water with the calcite {1014} surface using ab-initio simulation
No full textDensity functional theory calculations were employed to explore the interaction between
water and the {1014} surface of calcite. In addition a defective {1014} surface
and stepped surfaces in contact with water were investigated. A series of percentage
water coverages and water con�figurations were explored, including dissociated water
states. Static relaxations found associated water to be favourable on the {1014}
surface, although a metastable dissociated state 1.77eV higher in energy was found.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of low water coverage reveal fluctuations in
the H-O water bond when the H atom is directed towards a surface CO3 ion. Desorption
of an H2O molecule was observed in simulations above 900K. Water was found
to be strongly bound to the perfect {1014} surface, with an adsorption energy of
-0.91eV. MD simulations of a defective {1014} surface found water to favour dissociation
at CO3 vacancies. However, water at Ca vacancies di�used across the surface
to form a bond with the nearest surface Ca ion. Water was also found to favour
an associated state at both acute and obtuse steps. On all these imperfect surfaces
water was found to adsorb strongly to the surface, with adsorption energies ranging
from -0.99eV to -1.60eV
Ab Initio Prediction of Metal-Organic Framework Structures
No full textMetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as highly versatile materials with applications in gas storage and separation, solar light energy harvesting and photocatalysis. The design of new MOFs, however, has been hampered by the lack of computational methods for ab initio crystal structure prediction, which could be used to direct experimental synthesis. Here we report the first ab intio method for MOF structure prediction, and test it against a diverse set of MOFs, with differences in topology, metal coordination geometry and ligand binding sites. In all cases our calculations produced structures which match experiment, proving the versatility of our procedure for MOF structure prediction. With our new methodology for ab initio structure prediction, current approaches to MOF design are set to change towards a more sustainable theory-driven materials development.<br /
Automotive teaching aid with instrumentation for Morris Marina (3L engine part 3) / Azman Mohd Said, Mohamed Noor Baba and Mohd Nasir Ab. Manaf
No full textThe aim of this project is to get a better engine with good petrol consumption and with the add of a electrical wiring with instrumental for a 1970 Morris Marina 1.3 cc four stroke engine. To achieved better consumption the cylinder chamber, inlet part and intake manifold have been carefully and thoroughly grounded and polished and engine should) properly tunned according to specification. When this project was completely done it can be used for teaching practically for a subject of Automobile Technology
Ab initio pair potentials at metal-ceramic interfaces
No full textA systematic approach is proposed to obtain the interfacial interatomic potentials. By inverting ab initio adhesive energy curves for the metal-MgO ceramic interfaces, We derive interfacial potentials between Ag and O2-, Ag and Mg2+, Al and O2-, Al and Mg2+. The interfacial potentials, obtained from this method, demonstrate general features of bondings between metal atoms and ceramic ions
