No full textThis dataset contains observations of ice thicknesses, snow depths, and air and surface temperatures measured from a Snow and Ice Mass Balance Apparatus (SIMBA) thermistor chain deployed in Landing Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada (62.561°N, -114.408°W). Mean daily ice thicknesses and snow depths provided in this dataset were derived from 15-minute measurements of air, snow, ice, and water temperatures between 2021-2023 (October-December) inclusively
Simulations and in-situ measurements of ice evolution in Lake Orajärvi (October 2019- June 2020)
No full textThis dataset contains simulations of ice evolution and energy balance components in Lake Orajärvi (67.35°N, 26.84°E) located in the Finnish Arctic and the associated model forcing data. Simulations were conducted using two thermodynamic ice models: the Canadian Lake Ice Model (CLIMo) and the High-Resolution Snow and Ice Model (HIGHTSI). In-situ measurements of wind speeds, air temperatures, relative humidity, cloudiness, and precipitation intensity measured ~10 km away from Lake Orajärvi at the Finnish Arctic Space Centre in Sodankylä were used to force the models. Model simulations were run assuming 100%, 50% and 0% of measured precipitation values to investigate the effect of snowfall on ice evolution. In-situ measurements of snow and ice evolution on Lake Orajärvi were obtained using a Snow and Ice Mass Balance Apparatus (SIMBA). Simulated and SIMBA-measured surface temperatures are provided. Data is presented in tabulated form and is the research output from a model intercomparison study conducted in Lake Orajärvi
Russia's presence in the Caribbean: Towards a new regional balance of power
Get PDFEl propósito de este artículo es mostrar cuáles han sido los efectos de la influencia rusa en el Caribe. Específicamente, se intentará demostrar que el incremento de las actividades económicas y militares de Rusia en países como Venezuela y Nicaragua está generando una nueva distribución del poder en la región y un comportamiento político internacional basado en la política del equilibrio del poder. Esta tendencia se manifiesta en varios sentidos: a. Rusia busca equilibrarse con Estados Unidos; b. países como Nicaragua y Venezuela aprovechan esta nueva distribución del poder para generar mecanismos de contención frente a Estados Unidos o sus aliados regionales, como Colombia; y c. el Estado colombiano ha tenido que adoptar una estrategia defensiva o equilibrista para gestionar sus intereses con esos países.This article aims to show what have been the effects of Russian influence in the
Caribbean. Specifically, it will try to demonstrate that increasing economic and
military activities of Russia in countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua is
creating a new distribution of power in the region and an international political
behavior based on political balance of power. This trend is echoed in diverse
ways: a. Russia seeks balance with the United States; b. countries like
Nicaragua and Venezuela take advantage of this new distribution of power to
generate mechanisms of containment opposite to the United States or its
regional allies such as Colombia; and c. the Colombian State has adopted a
defensive or balancing strategy to manage his interests with those countries
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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFAbstract
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)
Responsibility to Protect (interests). The Case of NATO Intervention in Libya
Get PDFEl régimen libio fue intervenido en el 2011 por la OTAN, luego de haber sido acusado de estar preparando una “masacre” contra su propia población. Esa intervención, liderada por Francia y Estados Unidos, se hizo en nombre de la responsabilidad de proteger, de acuerdo con un mandato de la ONU que instaba a sus miembros a usar “todos los medios necesarios” para evitar “ataques generalizados y sistemáticos contra la población civil”. ¿Estuvo en realidad esa intervención impulsada por valores morales y la responsabilidad de proteger a la población libia? El propósito de este artículo es demostrar que la intervención de la OTAN se asemeja a una clásica operación de “cambio de régimen” mediada por consideraciones “materiales” y que poco tuvo que ver con consideraciones humanitarias. La intervención de la OTAN, asimismo, desestructuraría las propuestas para implementar un cambio pacífico, arrasando consigo a centenares de miles de personas, convirtiendo a Libia en un Estado fallido y provocando la aparición de múltiples facciones armadas islamistasThe Libyan regime was intervened in 2011 by NATO, after being accused of preparing a “massacre” against its own population. This intervention, led by France and the United States, was made in the name of Responsibility to protect, according to a UN mandate urging its members to use “all necessary means” to avoid “widespread and systematic attacks on the civilian population”. Was this intervention, in fact, driven by moral values and the responsibility to protect the Libyan population? The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that NATO´s intervention resembles a classical “regime change” operation mediated by “material” considerations, and that has little to do with humanitarian considerations. The intervention of NATO would also disrupt the proposals to implement a peaceful change, sweeping away hundreds of thousands of people, making Libya a failed state and provoking the emergence of multiple Islamist armed faction

Dissipative Range Scaling of Higher Order Structure Functions for Velocity and Passive Scalars
No full textDifferently to Kolmogorov's second similarity hypothesis, we find that the 2n-th order velocity and scalar structure functions scale with n-th order moment of the energy dissipation and the scalar dissipation, respectively. The origins of this scaling are analyzed by the transport equations of the fourth order velocity and scalar increment moments and by direct numerical simulations
