Field measurements of mercury deposition in Pullman and Puyallup, WA
No full textThe overarching objective of this study was to evaluate mercury deposition in two locations in Washington State: Pullman, WA in the rural east side of the state and Puyallup, WA on the populated west side of the state. Measurements were made from late summer to early fall of 2011 using a wet surface sampler for dry deposition and a precipitation collector for wet deposition. Puyallup was hypothesized to have higher rates of mercury deposition due to its proximity to substantial anthropogenic sources including intensive urban activities and atmospheric influxes from Asia. Dry deposition fluxes were 55.0 ± 34.5 ng/m2 /d (average plus/minus standard deviation; n = 4) in Pullman and 29.7 ± 7.0 ng/m2 /d in Puyallup (n = 6). Wet deposition fluxes were 166 ± 112 ng/m2 /d (n = 4) in Pullman and 25.3 ± 5.1 ng/m2 /d in Puyallup (n = 3). In contrast to our hypothesis, deposition levels were higher in Pullman, particularly during one dry deposition sampling event in late August (103 ng/m2 /d) and three wet deposition sampling events in late June (303 ng/m2 /d) and mid July (112 and 206 ng/m2 /d). The high deposition rates in Pullman were likely a result of local anthropogenic activities that enhance mercury depositing including summertime agricultural harvesting and field burning. Field results were also compared to mercury depositional fluxes predicted by the numerical air quality forecast system AIRPACT-3. Modeled deposition results were lower than measured deposition results for both Pullman and Puyallup during the comparable sampling duration. A likely reason for lower modeled deposition rates compared to measured deposition rates is the lack of agricultural field burning emissions data available for the AIRPACT-3 model. This study, while limited in its scope, adds to the data set of mercury deposition in Washington, which has little data for the east side of the state and mainly consists of wet deposition on the west side of the state
Pullman Employee Records - N
No full textThis index of employee names was created from the original personnel cards housed at Indiana University Northwest’s Calumet Regional Archives from the Indiana locations. Although the records are not complete from the Michigan City plant for the entire period from 1912 to the 1970’s, there may be information that will assist researchers with finding key details of a family member. The Hammond Pullman plant was merged with the Haskell Barker Company of Michigan City in 1922

A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

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

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
