    A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1

    Spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

(Studi Kasus : Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Pusat No : 1056/Pid.B/2005/PN JKT PST). (C) Halaman: viii+72+Lampiran+2009 (D) Kata Kunci: Pembebanan, Penyertaan, Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang. (E) Isi: Penyertaan adalah mereka yang melakukan, menyuruh lakukan dan yang turut serta melakukan perbuatan. Doenpleger adalah seseorang yang menyuruh orang lain untuk melakukan suatu peristiwa pidana. Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang adalah perbuatan menempatkan, mentransfer, membayarkan, membelanjakan, menghibahkan, menyumbangkan, menitipkan, membawa ke luar negeri, menukarkan, atau perbuatan lainnya atas Harta Kekayaan yang diketahuinya atau patut diduga merupakan Hasil Tindak Pidana dengan maksud untuk menyembunyikan, atau menyamarkan asal-usul Harta Kekayaan yang sah. Dalam KUHP mengenai penyertaan tercantum dalam Pasal 55 sampai Pasal 60, penyertaan dalam arti sempit (Pasal 55) dan pembantuan (Pasal 56 dan Pasal 59). Sanksinya dikenakan ancaman pidana penjara paling singkat 5 tahun dan paling banyak 15 tahun dan denda paling sedikit lima miliar rupiah dan paling banyak lima belas miliar sesuai dengan Pasal 3 UU No. 25 tahun 2003 tentang Perubahan Atas UU No. 15 tahun 2002 tentang TPPU. Dalam skripsi ini, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dan empiris. Penulis menggunakan data sekunder, dan didukung hasil wawancara dengan penasehat hukum terdakwa Ie Mien Sumardi. Dari hasil penelitian, menyimpulkan bahwa keputusan Majelis Hakim tidak tepat karena penyerahan uang milik PT. Bank Global Internasional oleh terdakwa atas perintah Lisa Santoso sebagai DPO bukan merupakan pembantuan (medeplichtige), melainkan merupakan menyuruh lakukan (doen plegen). Dari rangkaian fakta-fakta hukum yangg terungkap di persidangan sebagaimana pertimbangan di atas, terdakwa menurut Majelis Hakim patut menduga atau mengetahui bahwa uang yang berada dalam kardus-kardus gudang garam tersebut berasal dari hasil TPPU.

    The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy

    No full text
    PhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin, this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being, specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature

    "A Lesson on a Tortoise" and D. H. Lawrence\u27s earliest crisis of social identity

    No full text
    The short story "A Lesson on a Tortoise", written by D. H. Lawrence in 1909, has traditionally been disregarded by criticism as a very minor piece of work. This paper aims to show that the story has a threefold importance: firstly as an autobiographical portrait of Lawrence\u27s activities as a teacher in Croydon; secondly as an example of Lawrence\u27s ability to use realistic techniques; and thirdly as a reflection of the author\u27s crisis of social identity. The paper concentrates on the last aspect and traces the personal and intellectual facets which came to shape Lawrence\u27s ideas on the subject

    The Life of the Author: D. H. Lawrence

    No full text
    The Life of the Author: D. H. Lawrence is a focused exploration of the whole of the author’s life and writing career. Combining biographical detail and close readings of works in different genres, the book illuminates the complexities of Lawrence’s writing through a careful, questioning approach to biographical sources and recent scholarship. Andrew Harrison provides original insights into Lawrence’s relationship to working-class experience, his anti-suffragist feminist views, his reaction to the Great War, his responses to racial and cultural difference, his attitudes towards sex, sexuality, and sexual identity, and much more

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
