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
Letter from Joseph R. Goodman to Agnes Inouye, June 4, 1942
No full textLetter from Joseph R. Goodman to Agnes Inouye, responding to a letter Inouye sent to Lincoln Kanai from Pomona Assembly Center. Goodman responds that he is not certain of Kanai's whereabouts, but "to the best of my knowledge he is heading eastward with a desire to try to help formulate American public opinion."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Solutions of the Bogomolny Equation on R^3 with Certain Type of Knot Singularity I
No full textModuli space of the Bogomolny equation on R^3 with certain asymptotic
conditions at infinity has been well studied for a long time. This paper
studies the moduli space of solutions to the Bogomolny equation on R^3 with a
knot singularity. The author hopes such kind of moduli spaces have potential
applications in low-dimensional topology and knot theory in the future
spcadjust: an R package for adjusting for estimation error in control charts
No full textIn practical applications of control charts the in-control state and the corresponding chart
parameters are usually estimated based on some past in-control data. The estimation error then
needs to be accounted for. In this paper we present an R package,
spcadjust
, which implements a
bootstrap based method for adjusting monitoring schemes to take into account the estimation error.
By bootstrapping the past data this method guarantees, with a certain probability, a conditional
performance of the chart. In
spcadjust
the method is implement for various types of Shewhart,
CUSUM and EWMA charts, various performance criteria, and both parametric and non-parametric
bootstrap schemes. In addition to the basic charts, charts based on linear and logistic regression
models for risk adjusted monitoring are included, and it is easy for the user to add further charts. Use
of the package is demonstrated by examples
On spectral measures for certain unitary representations of R. Thompson's group F
No full textThe Hilbert space H of backward renormalisation of an anyonic quantum spin chain affords a unitary representation of Thompson’s group F via local scale transformations. The group F is discrete and mysterious in many ways so the obvious questions of irreducibility and distinctness of these representations appear difficult and in a first step towards solving them we calculate the spectral measures of group elements in the representation. Given a vector in the canonical dense subspace of H we calculate the corresponding spectral measure and illustrate with some examples. To do this calculation we introduce the “essential part” (intimately related to the conjugacy class) of an element. The spectral measure for any vector in H is, apart from possibly finitely many eigenvalues, absolutely continuous with respect to
Lebesgue measure. The same considerations and results hold for the Brown-Thompson groups Fn (for which F = F2)
R-boundedness of smooth operator-valued functions
No full textIn this paper we study -boundedness of operator families \mathcal{T}\subset \calL(X,Y), where and are Banach spaces. Under cotype and type assumptions on and we give sufficient conditions for -boundedness. In the first part we show that certain integral operator are -bounded. This will be used to obtain -boundedness in the case that is the range of an operator-valued function T:\R^d\to \calL(X,Y) which is in a certain Besov space B^{d/r}_{r,1}(\R^d;\calL(X,Y)). The results will be applied to obtain -boundedness of semigroups and evolution families, and to obtain sufficient conditions for existence of solutions for stochastic Cauchy problems.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
CerFix: A System for Cleaning Data with Certain Fixes
No full textWe present CerFix, a data cleaning system that finds certain fixes for tuples at the point of data entry, i.e., fixes that are guaranteed correct. It is based on master data, editing rules and certain regions. Given some attributes of an in-put tuple that are validated (assured correct), editing rules tell us what other attributes to x and how to correct them with master data. A certain region is a set of attributes that, if validated, warrant a certain x for the entire tuple. We demonstrate the following facilities provided by Cer-Fix: (1) a region finder to identify certain regions; (2) a data monitor to find certain fixes for input tuples, by guiding users to validate a minimal number of attributes; and(3) an auditing module to show what attributes are fixed and where the correct values come from

The C*-algebras of certain Lie groups
No full textIn this doctoral thesis, the C*-algebras of the connected real two-step nilpotent Lie groups and the Lie group SL(2,R) are characterized. Furthermore, as a preparation for an analysis of its C*-algebra, the topology of the spectrum of the semidirect product U(n) x H_n is described, where H_n denotes the Heisenberg Lie group and U(n) the unitary group acting by automorphisms on H_n. For the determination of the group C*-algebras, the operator valued Fourier transform is used in order to map the respective C*-algebra into the algebra of all bounded operator fields over its spectrum. One has to find the conditions that are satisfied by the image of this C*-algebra under the Fourier transform and the aim is to characterize it through these conditions. In the present thesis, it is proved that both the C*-algebras of the connected real two-step nilpotent Lie groups and the C*-algebra of SL(2,R) fulfill the same conditions, namely the “norm controlled dual limit” conditions. Thereby, these C*-algebras are described in this work and the “norm controlled dual limit” conditions are explicitly computed in both cases. The methods used for the two-step nilpotent Lie groups and the group SL(2,R) are completely different from each other. For the two-step nilpotent Lie groups, one regards their coadjoint orbits and uses the Kirillov theory, while for the group SL(2,R) one can accomplish the calculations more directly.The C*-algebras of certain Lie group
