Domain Names in Turkey
No full textTurkey 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 textAfter 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
Dictionary of Acoustics
No full textThe 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 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
Modelling of turbulent jets and wall layers: extensions of Lighthill's acoustic analogy with application to computational aeroacoustics
No full textTwo 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
No full textResearch 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
The Language of Colour : Neurology and the Ineffable
No full textIt is often claimed, following Joseph Levine, that there is an ‘explanatory gap’ between ordinary physical facts and the way we perceive things, so that it is impossible to explain, among other things, why colours actually look the way they do. C.L. Hardin, by contrast, argues that there are sufficient asymmetries between colours to traverse this gap. This paper argues that the terms we use to characterize colours, such as ‘warm’ and ‘cool’, are not well understood, and that we need to understand the neurological basis for such associations if we are even to understand what is fully meant by saying, for example, that red is a warm colour. This paper also speculates on how Hardin’s strategy can be generalized. A PowerPoint presentation that depicts inverted colour qualia is attached as an appendix
Cooperative Equilibria in Iterated Social Dilemmas
No full textThe implausibility of the extreme rationality assumptions of Nash equilibrium has been attested by numerous experimental studies with human players. In particular, the fundamental social dilemmas such as the Traveler’s dilemma, the Prisoner’s dilemma, and the Public Goods game demonstrate high rates of deviation from the unique Nash equilibrium, dependent on the game parameters or the environment in which the game is played. These results inspired several attempts to develop suitable solution concepts to more accurately explain human behaviour. In this line, the recently proposed notion of cooperative equilibrium, [5], [6], based on the idea that players have a natural attitude to cooperation, has shown promising results for single-shot games. In this paper, we extend this approach to iterated settings. Specifically, we define the Iterated Cooperative Equilibrium (ICE) and show it makes statistically precise predictions of population average behaviour in the aforementioned domains. Importantly, the definition of ICE does not involve any free parameters, and so it is fully predictive
Search for dark matter annihilation signals from the fornax galaxy cluster with H.E.S.S.
No full textThe Fornax galaxy cluster was observed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System for a total live time of 14.5 hr, searching for very high energy (VHE; E > 100GeV) γ -rays from dark matter (DM) annihilation. No significant signal was found in searches for point-like and extended emissions. Using several models of the DM density distribution, upper limits on the DM velocity-weighted annihilation cross-section _σv_ as a function of the DM particle mass are derived. Constraints are derived for different DM particle models, such as those arising from Kaluza–Klein and supersymmetric models. Various annihilation final states are considered. Possible enhancements of the DM annihilation γ -ray flux, due to DM substructures of the DM host halo, or from the Sommerfeld effect, are studied. Additional γ -ray contributions from internal bremsstrahlung and inverse Compton radiation are also discussed. For a DM particle mass of 1 TeV, the exclusion limits at 95% of confidence level reach values of _σv_95% C.L. ∼ 10−23 cm3 s−1, depending on the DM particle model and halo properties. Additional contribution from DM substructures can improve the upper limits on _σv_ by more than two orders of magnitude. At masses around 4.5 TeV, the enhancement by substructures and the Sommerfeld resonance effect results in a velocityweighted annihilation cross-section upper limit at the level of _σv_95% C.L. ∼10−26 cm3 s−1.A.
