In the ‘Data custodians’ section, the words, ‘and Queensland’ should be omitted from the sentence, ‘Conditional approval of data requests by the custodian is necessary before ethics submission in all jurisdictions, except in the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland where the data custodians will only review data requests after ethics approval.’
The sentence should thus read: ‘Conditional approval of data requests by the custodian is necessary before ethics submission in all jurisdictions, except in the Australian Capital Territory where the data custodians will only review data requests after ethics approval.’
The authors apologise for the error.No Full Tex
Melanterius vinosus Pascoe 1872
No full textMelanterius vinosus Pascoe, 1872 Melanterius vinosus Pascoe, 1872: 141 The identity of this species is unclear, as the specimens in the ANIC identified as M. vinosus by A. Lea and E. C. Zimmerman comprise a number of closely similar species. Careful study of Pascoe’s type, in the collection of the Natural History Museum in London, is required to establish the precise identity of M. vinosus. It was described from South Australia (probably Adelaide), and no host records are available for it.Published as part of Pinzón-Navarro, Sara V., Jennings, Debbie & Oberprieler, Rolf G., 2017, Host associations of Melanterius Erichson (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Cleogonini), with a diagnosis and delimitation of the genus and description of five new species, pp. 1-77 in Zootaxa 4298 (1) on page 24, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4298.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/84035

Distribution. West Papua: Manokwari, Epomani, Wapoga River, Japen Isl., Cyclops Mts.. Papua New Guinea: Fly River, Crater Mt. Notes. Pascoe (1885) did not designate a holotype nor specify the number of specimens examined. Four syntypes found at BMNH and MCDG belong to different species and different genera. A lectotype is designated to achieve stability of nomenclature. The species appears to range over wide areas of New Guinea and neighboring islands and specimens from distant localities show little morphological differences. Sequence data are available only from two populations, i.e. from Cyclops Mountains and from Crater Mountain—their COI-sequences show an astonishing uncorrected p-distance of 12.5 %. This is an indication for the presence of cryptic species. However, sequence data from additional localities would be needed to clarify this situation.Published as part of Riedel, Alexander, 2017, The weevil genera Nyphaeba Pascoe and Pantiala Pascoe and the problems of an unstable nomenclature in orphaned taxa, pp. 377-389 in Zootaxa 4244 (3) on pages 384-387, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4244.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/42873

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
Damping of kink waves by mode coupling. II. Parametric study and seismology
No full textContext: Recent observations of the corona reveal ubiquitous transverse velocity perturbations that undergo strong damping as they propagate. These can be understood in terms of propagating kink waves that undergo mode coupling in inhomogeneous regions. Aims: The use of these propagating waves as a seismological tool for the investigation of the solar corona depends upon an accurate understanding of how the mode coupling behaviour is determined by local plasma parameters. Our previous work suggests the exponential spatial damping profile provides a poor description of the behaviour of strongly damped kink waves. We aim to investigate the spatial damping profile in detail and provide a guide to the approximations most suitable for performing seismological inversions. Methods: We propose a general spatial damping profile based on analytical results that accounts for the initial Gaussian stage of damped kink waves as well as the asymptotic exponential stage considered by previous authors. The applicability of this profile is demonstrated by a full parametric study of the relevant physical parameters. The implication of this profile for seismological inversions is investigated. Results: The Gaussian damping profile is found to be most suitable for application as a seismological tool for observations of oscillations in loops with a low density contrast. This profile also provides accurate estimates for data in which only a few wavelengths or periods are observed.Peer reviewe

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
