El diario de Priscilla Scott-Ellis: enfermera en tiempo de guerra
No full textIntroduction:The use of letters, diaries and other sort of personal documents in historical research is a common andsolidly accepted practice among historians.Objective: To study the development of nursing in Spain during the Civil War, within the national zone, through the analysis the diary of Priscilla Scott-Ellis, as well as to analyse Priscilla's extraordinary personality within her personal-historical context.Methodology: A qualitative-descriptive research method was adopted, which facilitated the discovering, selection and classification of historical data, whose interpretation will help to enlighten the history of war nursing during the Spanish Civil War.Results: The information obtained though the analysis of the diary was classified within two main categories: a) Data related to the study of war nursing during the Spanish Civil War, and b) data concerning the life of Priscilla Scott-Ellis in Spain, both in the front and in the rearguard. In addition, a number of specific subcategories were established in order to assist the process of data codification and interpretation.Conclusions: The diary of Priscilla Scott-Ellis, edited by Raymond Carr, constitutes a valuable source of information on war nursing in Spain during the Civil War, revealing the exceptional personality of its young author
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

Penyelidikan kereta elektrik / Syafri Zainal dan Ab. Karim Mokhtar
No full textPengangkutan ialah subjek yang menarik, salah satu daripadanya ia ialah sentiasa menarik kecenderungan dan usaha manusia. Makna perkataan kenderaan elektrik adalah sangat luas. Ianya termasuklah mengawal , perjalanan jisim kenderaan elektrik dengan sebaik mungkin dari pelbagai aspek. Pembuatan kereta elektrik adalah satu langkah kedepan yang logik dalam perkembangan automotive. Ianya merupakan pengganti semulajadi untuk tradisi kereta hari ini. Kekurangan bekalan fosil minyak dan masalah pencemaran adalah merupakan faktor utama kearah penyelidikan dan perkembangan kereta elektrik. Pada tahun 1977, seorang jurutera dalam bidang elektrik iaitu Ernest H. Wakefield (Ph.D) dari Evanston Illinois pernah berkata bahawa kereta elektrik akan menjadi salah satu sistem pengangkutan yang penting pada masa hadapan. Tetapi beliau tidak menyatakan dengan pasti bila kereta elektrik akan menjadi kenyataan. Dalam Laporan Projek Tahun Akhir ini kadang-kadang kami akan menulis kereta atau kenderaan yang mebawa maksud yang sama atau diringkaskan menjadi EV (Electric Vehicle)
Ab initio pair potentials at metal-ceramic interfaces
No full textA 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 textThis 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
Ultra-low-power, class-AB, CMOS four-quadrant current multiplier
No full textA 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
