    The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law

    No full text
    Abstract 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

    Ab initio pair potentials at metal-ceramic interfaces

    No full text
    A systematic approach is proposed to obtain the interfacial interatomic potentials. By inverting ab initio adhesive energy curves for the metal-MgO ceramic interfaces, We derive interfacial potentials between Ag and O2-, Ag and Mg2+, Al and O2-, Al and Mg2+. The interfacial potentials, obtained from this method, demonstrate general features of bondings between metal atoms and ceramic ions

    Perceptions of pre- and post-event impacts of PEI 2014 year-long celebrations

    No full text
    This study examines Canadian perceptions of pre- and post-event impacts of the PEI 2014 Celebrations using the 2013 and 2015 surveys of PEI residents and other Canadians conducted by the Centre for Tourism Research. Overall, results indicate that Canadians’ awareness of, knowledge about, and attitudes toward the 1864 Charlottetown Conference and the PEI 2014 Celebrations increased and positively changed over time. The research also suggests that event organizers and/or destination tourism managers need to put greater emphasis on the “socio-cultural aspects” of the event such as community participation and cultural identity, and make an effort to increase tourism volume and value in order to obtain strong support from residents and be successful

    Rendimiento de madera de cordia Alliodora (Ruiz Y Pav.) Oken, usando motosierra en el aserrío de plantaciones agroforestales de San Ignacio

    Este estudio tuvo por objetivo determinar el rendimiento del aserrío de madera de Cordia Alliodora (Ruiz & Pavon) Oken, usando motosierra en plantaciones agroforestales de San Ignacio. La metodología contempló una población de 273 árboles de la especie Cordia Alliodora de los cuales se seleccionó una muestra de 37, los que fueron apeados y procesados para obtener 105 trozas de madera. Los resultados obtenidos fueron 125 cuartones equivalente a 0.29 m3 y con rangos entre 0.048 m3 y 0,751 m3. Con respecto al coeficiente de rendimiento, el mejor modelo de regresión lineal que se ajusta es el modelo 1, obteniendo un coeficiente de determinación (R2) de 0.918 y una ecuación lineal: V: V=1.02194*AB*F*H. Los resultados indican un coeficiente de rendimiento de 92.10% para madera rolliza y un promedio de 35.51% para madera aserrada

    Ultra-low-power, class-AB, CMOS four-quadrant current multiplier

    No full text
    A class-AB four-quadrant current multiplier constituted by a class-AB current amplifier and a current splitter which can handle input signals in excess of ten times the bias current is presented. The proposed circuit operation is based on the exponential characteristic of BJTs or subthreshold MOSFETs. The multiplier is designed using the latter devices and achieves very low power consumption. Simulation results show that from a 0.65 V supply, the proposed circuit consumes 12.4 nW static power while less than 30 dB total harmonic distortion is achieved for an input modulation index up to 10.Microelectronics & Computer EngineeringElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    Records of Empire, Monarchy, or Nation? The Archival Heritage of the Habsburgs in East Central Europe

    No full text
    This contribution to Ab Imperio's forum on the archives of empires examines the history of central government archives in the Habsburg Monarchy of East Central Europe from the sixteenth through twentieth centuries. The court, financial, and military archives in the imperial capital at first only served official purposes, but by the nineteenth century also supported historical research. Later the provinces and emerging national states also developed archives and made them accessible to historians. The multinational empire dissolved in 1918 and its successor states competed for possession of the central archives. National archives were considered essential for the creation of national states and histories
