    The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function

    No full text
    This thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

    jDHBenelux Author Template

    No full text
    This repository contains the latest official GitHub hosted versions of the LaTeX template that authors are required to use when they finalize their contribtions to the DH Benelux Journal. The repository synchronises with the corresponding easy-to-use and well-documented Overleaf Template that provides authors with a low threshold environment for writing LaTeX – but can be used with any LaTeX compiler. About this Release: Apart from some minor changes to the .cls, v2.0 introduces a number of new files to improve open source development with git and GitHub, including a README, a CC-BY 4.0 License, and a .gitignore file. It also prepares the repository for synchronisation with Zenodo, to improve sustainability. Full Changelog: https://github.com/DHBenelux/jDHBenelux-author-template/compare/v1.1...v2.

    The relationship between electricity and economic activity, and the saturation level of the electricity share in the secondary energy usage

    No full text
    Bibliography: leaves 108-110.The consumption of electric power is pervasive in the lives of all of us. Electricity heats and cools homes, offices and factories. Electricity helps preserve and prepare food. It powers office machinery, and in manufacturing establishments provides energy to utilize the capital stock. In some processes electricity is a direct input into the production process

    Searching for doubly charmed tetraquark candidates TccT_{cc} and TccsˉT_{cc\bar{s}} in BcB_c decays

    Full text link
    In this work, we propose to search for the exotic doubly charmed meson Tcc+T_{cc}^+ and its analog Tccsˉ+T_{cc\bar{s}}^+ in Bc+B_c^+ decays, which provide a good environment for the formation of the exotic state containing double charm quarks. Within the molecular scheme, the production of Tcc+T_{cc}^+ and Tccsˉ+T_{cc\bar{s}}^+ through various rescattering processes with different intermediate states are investigated. For the moderate values of model parameters, the branching ratios of Bc+B_c^+ decaying into Tcc+Dˉ0T_{cc}^+ \bar{D}^{0}, Tcc+Dˉ0T_{cc}^+ \bar{D}^{*0}, Tccsˉ+Dˉ0T_{cc\bar{s}}^+ \bar{D}^{0} and Tccsˉ+Dˉ0T_{cc\bar{s}}^+ \bar{D}^{*0} are estimated to be of the order of 10710^{-7}, 10510^{-5}, 10610^{-6} and 10410^{-4}, respectively, which may be tested by future experiments.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figure

    CC journals are an abbreviation for journals included into the Current Contents (CC) bibliographic base. CC is the most popular bibliographic database in Croatia. Its popularity is due to relatively strict criteria of journal selection, coverage of all scientific fields, frequent updates, paper abstracts/summaries, author addresses, publisher names and addresses, possibility to review content of journal issues, and additional key words which facilitate searches (On line databases, Manual, http://www.online-baze.hr/ob/novosti; link on the right side of the title page).CC-časopisi je skraćeni naziv za časopise uvrštene u bibliografsku bazu Current Contents (CC). CC je u Hrvatskoj najpopularnija bibliografska baza. Razlozi njezine popularnosti relativno su visoki kriteriji odabira časopisa, pokrivenost svih područja znanosti, učestalost ažuriranja, sažetak rada, adrese autora, nazivi i adrese izdavača, mogućnost pregleda sadržaja pojedinog broja časopisa, te dodatne ključne riječi koje unapređuju pretraživanje (On line baze podataka, Priručnik, http://www.onlinebaze. hr/ob/novosti; poveznica na desnoj strani naslovne stranice)
