Methods for visualising complex water quality data
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 157-173).The quality of South Africa’s over-stretched water resources is a matter of concern for all who depend on them for their survival and prosperity, so access to the relevant monitoring data is essential. Visualisation is a powerful method for analysing these data and communicating the results, because it unloads complex cognitive processes from the fairly restricted human numerical processing structures onto the highly developed visual perception system. Developments in the field of visualisation during the past two decades have yielded many practical methods that are applicable to the analysis and presentation of water quality data. Judicious use of visualisation aids aquatic scientists, water resource managers and ordinary consumers in assessing the quality of their water and deciding on remedial measures. To provide some insight into the possibilities of visualisation techniques, I analyse and discuss five visual methods that I have developed or contributed to: multivariate time-series inventory plots; multivariate map symbols; spatially-referenced inventory of water quality data; mass transfer summary plots; and the use of visual methods in communicating the ecological status of rivers to a wide audience

The evaluation of pulmonary vein isolation and wide-area left atrial ablation to treat atrial fibrillation in patients with implanted permanent pacemakers
No full textNew diagnostic criteria for identifying left-sided ventricular ectopy using non-contact mapping and virtual unipolar electrogram analysis
No full textAIMS: To assess the efficacy of non-contact mapping for outflow tract premature ventricular contraction (PVC) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in patients without structural heart disease and a precordial transition at V3 or later and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of new virtual unipolar electrogram criteria for distinguishing left from right-sided foci using a multi-electrode array positioned within the right ventricular outflow tract. METHODS AND RESULTS: Virtual unipolar electrograms at early activation (EA) and break out (BO) sites in 100 patients (36 left-sided foci) who underwent acutely successful outflow tract ablation were analysed and voltage and timing-based criteria measured. The best performing parameters were then re-assessed in 41 patients (14 left-sided) prospectively. Of the candidate criteria for determining a left from right-sided focus, the voltage at 20 ms after EA (EA-V20) and the time from BO to QRS onset (BO-QRS) were the best discriminators with area under the curve (AUC) values based on receiver operator characteristics (ROCs) of 0.947 (0.905-0.989), P < 0.001, and 0.951 (0.907-0.995), P < 0.001, respectively. These two parameters were subsequently assessed prospectively in a further 41 patients (14 left-sided) using the pre-specified cut-off values of -2 mV for EA-V20 and 10 ms for BO-QRS which demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy and sufficient inter-beat and inter-observer reproducibility. CONCLUSIONS: This large single-centre experience demonstrates that a strategy for outflow tract PVC/VT ablation using non-contact mapping allows for excellent success rates. Furthermore, detailed analysis of virtual unipolar electrograms allows accurate and reproducible determination of left from right-sided foci that may be used to guide mapping and ablation

Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
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
