RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open-archiving
Get PDFThis is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
A reformulated approach to attribute-aware sampling on large networks
Get PDFSampling has long been an important tool for extracting subsets of data for data mining tasks. As the scale of information produced has increased, efficient sampling is only becoming more important. Uniform sampling is often the preferred technique of choice, due to its simplicity and speed. However, many network based data sources prevent random access, necessitating a different way to sample. Algorithms like Breadth first search, Random walk, Expansion sampling, or other related strategies fulfill this role currently. But these algorithms are focused mainly on ensuring properties based on the structure of the graph, without consideration for the attributes of each node.
In this study, we take an existing attribute aware sampler and propose a natural reformulation of the algorithm. We present a new surprise function that avoids some drawbacks of a previous work and take advantage of the submodularity property to reduce the computation that needs to be done when selecting a node and make some arguments about the efficiency and effectiveness of such a strategy. We test our algorithm on some real world data sets and found that our algorithm had increases in sample attribute coverage by up to 4 times when compared to techniques like random walk while still taking time approximately linear in the size of the sampleSubmission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

No full textLetter from Dr. Charles F. Blankenship recounting his participation in the medical component of the forced evacuation of 120,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans from the West Coast to internment camps early in 1942.In 1942, Charles Blankenship, a physician with the U. S. Public Health Service and medical consultant for the Service Command, United States Army in the San Francisco Regional Office, was given the assignment to inspect all Japanese American incarcerees from the Southern California sector for medical conditions before or as they entered the Santa Anita Racetrack Assembly Center, and later Manzanar, Gila River, and Rohwer incarceration camps

The Relative Pronoun d- and the Pronominal Suffixes in Mandaic, in Journal of Semitic Studies 52.1 (2007): 71–78 (Manchester)
No full textThe enclitic pronominal suffixes in Neo-Mandaic are affixed to nouns and prepositions via two separate strategies. Nearly all nouns and prepositions inherited directly from Classical Mandaic take pronominal suffixes directly. All loanwords, and an extremely circumscribed set of original Mandaic words, receive pronominal suffixes after an enclitic particle, –d-. Rudolph Macuch suggested in his Handbook of Classical and Modern Mandaic that this particle is derived from the Classical Mandaic relative pronoun, d-. The evidence, however, suggests that this particle is an innovation, which ultimately derives from the metathesis of the final two root consonants of Classical Mandaic qam / qadmia ‘to, for’ (Neo-Mandaic qam / qamdi-), from which it spread by analogy to new lexical items.This is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in The Journal of Semitic Studies following peer review.

The Neo-Mandaic Dialect of Khorramshahr
No full textNeo-Mandaic is the only surviving dialect of Aramaic to be recognized as a direct descendant of any of the classical dialects of Late Antiquity. The Mandaeans who speak it are adherents of a pre-Islamic Gnostic sect, the only such sect to survive to the present day. As such, Mandaic may be considered as both a living language of the modern Middle East and also the vehicle of one of the great religious traditions of that region, along with Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian. Unfortunately, Neo-Mandaic is severely endangered, and all signs indicate that the current generation of speakers is likely to be the last. As a description of an endangered language, this work addresses one of the chief concerns of linguists in the 21st century, namely the impending loss of the majority of the world's languages and the immense threat to both linguistic and cultural diversity that it represents. This grammar is the first account of a previously undocumented dialect of Neo-Mandaic, and the most thorough description of any Neo-Mandaic dialect. In addition to a description of its phonology, inflectional paradigms, and morphosyntax, it includes a collection of ten texts, transcribed and translated, as well as a concise lexicon of the vocabulary found within these texts
