Improved space-time forecasting of next day ozone concentrations in the eastern U.S.
No full textThere is an urgent need to provide accurate air quality information and forecasts to the general public and environmental health decision-makers. This paper develops a hierarchical space–time model for daily 8-h maximum ozone concentration (O3) data covering much of the eastern United States. The model combines observed data and forecast output from a computer simulation model known as the Eta Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) forecast model in a very flexible, yet computationally fast way, so that the next day forecasts can be computed in real-time operational mode. The model adjusts for spatio-temporal biases in the Eta CMAQ forecasts and avoids a change of support problem often encountered in data fusion settings where real data have been observed at point level monitoring sites, but the forecasts from the computer model are provided at grid cell levels. The model is validated with a large amount of set-aside data and is shown to provide much improved forecasts of daily O3 concentrations in the eastern United State
Tooth erosion : prevention and treatment
No full text"Erosion frequently coexists to varying extents with other tooth wear processes, such as abrasion and attrition, but erosion is often not recognized as being present or is confused withother wear mechanisms." "The aim of this book is to inform ... of the causes and treatment of tooth surface loss from erosion. Chapters are presented as a series of extensively-referenced articles, which include information on the importance of the oral environment and lifestyle behaviors in influencing tooth erosion, and practial information on the preventionof tooth erosion and the restoration of lost tooth substance." --pref.Kevin HK Yip, Roger J Smales, John A Kaidoni
An investigation into Chinese cybercrime and the underground economy in comparison with the West
No full textWith 420 million Internet users, China has become the world’s largest Internet population. Yet, the Internet penetration rate in China is only 31.6%, which means that the Chinese Internet population has the potential to triple in size in the foreseeable future. With cybercrimes transcending national boundaries, the security of the Internet in China is becoming increasingly significant to the global Internet. As in the West, organised cybercrimes are flourishing in China. With a rapidly expanding Internet population, China is fast becoming a giant hub of cybercrime activities. Therefore, it is in the interest of Western cyber-security experts to increase their attention to China’s cyber-security
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

The rise of Chinese cyber warriors: towards a theoretical model of online hacktivism
No full textChina is frequently reported as the source of many transnational cyber-attacks. Yet, there have been very few studies on the people behind such attacks. In this paper, we have studied some of the reasons behind the rise of a specific form of hacking: hacktivism emanating from China. Using various criminological theories, as well as political and sociological approaches, a novel theoretical framework behind Chinese hacktivism is proposed in this paper. This is supported by an empirical analysis that was carried out on the membership growth patterns of online Chinese hacktivist forums and the observed patterns are used to support the proposed framework.</p
