title: policy-making in information technology: a decisional analysis of the Alvey Programme
Creators: name: Keliher, Leo
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 1987

description: In June 1988 the five-year, £350 million Alvey programme for advanced information technology is scheduled to terminate. This study is a critical appraisal of the decision-making associated with all aspects of the formulation, approval, implementation and operation of the Alvey policy programme. The study analyses why a government that preaches public sector disengagement from the market has channelled funds into one of the fastest growing sectors of British industry, why a government committed to competition endorsed a programme based on collaboration between firms, and why a government opposed to picking 'winners' implemented a programme aimed at a few selected technologies. It describes the intricate advisory mechanisms which support decision-making by powerful but technologically ill-informed government departments and the British core executive. The study questions the wisdom of the government insisting that industry should frame industry policy - for when a sector dominated by defence contractors did so, the result was an increased dependence on government. When the government engaged in a meso-corporatist policy-making arrangement with Industry, it did so from a position of weakness. Industry had the technical expertise, operational control of major projects, and a dominant role within the Alvey directorate. The result was a pattern of self-interested and short-sighted policy-making biased towards the interests of large firms In the defence and telecommunications fields. By divorcing itself from the mainstream of information technology developments and concentrating on selected narrow niches, the British information technology industry has set itself a difficult task for survival in the years ahead.

description: My heartfelt thanks to June M. Besek for organizing this Symposium at the Kernochan Center, and inviting me to participate on a panel as a representative of graphic artists. Usually the people who are invited to speak on panels or testify at hearings are aggregators or distributors of copyrighted works (publishers, production companies, stock image companies, etc.), IP attorneys representing large trade associations of corporate rights holders and law professors. Rarely are working professional artists invited to explain what we do in the marketplace and how we work with our clients. I am honored and very grateful for this opportunity, as well as the opportunity to write for the Journal. June prepared those of us she invited on her panel by giving us some questions to discuss. In addition to our shared time at the Symposium, she suggested that we could write more for the Journal. There is so much more that I’d like to elaborate on for her first question to us: “What is it like to earn a living in the current environment (obstacles and advantages, whether it’s harder or easier than when you got into your field, etc.)?”

The Next Great Copyright Act, or a New Great Copyright Agency?
Creators: name: Aistars, Sandra M.
Publisher: name: The Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts
Year: 2015

description: In March 2013, U.S. Register of Copyrights Maria Pallante gave the Horace S. Manges Lecture at Columbia Law School. Settling into her role as Register, she compared some of the issues of the day to issues that had faced previous Registers, and urged Congress, the copyright bar, the creative community and the public at large to consider beginning work on “The Next Great Copyright Act.” Now, after more than a year of comprehensive review hearings before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet, and simultaneous inquiries into various copyright topics by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and by the Copyright Office itself, it is possible to explore whether a “Next Great Copyright Act” is the best approach to address the challenges facing authors and their audiences, or whether other bold approaches, such as a restructuring of the Copyright Office, might better serve the public interest. As an advocate for artists and authors, I believe that the Copyright Act must first and foremost serve the public interest, which, as Register Pallante aptly noted in her remarks, is inextricably linked with promoting the well-being of authors and artists. Put simply, if the public believes that art matters, then its authors matter. Consequently, a Copyright Act that encourages and empowers artists and authors in the creation and dissemination of works of authorship to the public best serves the public interest. These principles have been at the heart of copyright law in the United States since the beginning. Because copyright law is now more than ever also intertwined with the advancement of new technologies, we also cannot ignore the need to ensure a Copyright Act that is as “future proof’ as possible. This suggests that a nimble approach to addressing the issues of the day is needed.

description: Using e+e- collision data taken with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have investigated the direct photon spectrum in the decay psi(2S)->gamma+gluon+gluon. We determine the ratio R of that inclusive direct photon decay rate to that of the three-gluon decay rate psi(2S)->3-gluon to be R(z>0.4)=0.070+/-0.002+/-0.019+/-0.011, with z defined as the scaled photon energy relative to the beam energy. The errors shown are statistical, systematic, and that due to the uncertainty in the input branching fractions used to extract the ratio, respectively. This R value is approximately 2/3 of the comparable value for the J/psi(1S), both in the region z>0.4, and also when extrapolated to the full range z>0.

description: BACKGROUND: Population-based linked datasets are vital to generate catchment area and population health research. The novel Cancer Information & Population Health Resource (CIPHR) links statewide cancer registry data, public and private insurance claims, and provider- and area-level data, representing more than 80% of North Carolina's large, diverse population of individuals diagnosed with cancer. This scoping review of articles that used CIPHR data characterizes the breadth of research generated and identifies further opportunities for population-based health research.
METHODS: Articles published January 2012 - August 2023 were categorized by cancer site and outcomes examined across the care continuum. Statistically significant associations between patient-, provider-, and system/policy-level factors and outcomes were summarized.
RESULTS: Among 51 articles, 42 reported results across 23 unique cancer sites and 13 aggregated across multiple sites. The most common outcomes examined were treatment initiation and/or adherence (n = 14), mortality/survival (n = 9), and health care resource utilization (n = 9). Few articles focused on cancer recurrence (n = 1) or distance to care (n = 1) as outcomes. Many articles discussed racial, ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic inequities in care.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate the value of robust, longitudinal, linked, population-based databases to facilitate catchment area and population health research aimed at elucidating cancer risk factors, outcomes, care delivery trends, and inequities that warrant intervention and policy attention. Lessons learned from years of analytics using CIPHR highlight opportunities to explore less-frequently studied cancers and outcomes, motivate equity-focused interventions, and inform development of similar resources.

description: Ultraviolet radiation is a double-edged sword to life. If it is too strong, the terrestrial biological systems will be damaged. And if it is too weak, the synthesis of many biochemical compounds can not go along. We try to obtain the continuous ultraviolet habitable zones, and compare the ultraviolet habitable zones with the habitable zones of host stars. Using the boundary ultraviolet radiation of ultraviolet habitable zone, we calculate the ultraviolet habitable zones of host stars with masses from 0.08 to 4.00 \mo. For the host stars with effective temperatures lower than 4,600 K, the ultraviolet habitable zones are closer than the habitable zones. For the host stars with effective temperatures higher than 7,137 K, the ultraviolet habitable zones are farther than the habitable zones. For hot subdwarf as a host star, the distance of the ultraviolet habitable zone is about ten times more than that of the habitable zone, which is not suitable for life existence.

Neural activation associated with the reporting of spontaneous thoughts in experienced mindfulness meditators
Creators: name: Zamani, Andre Reza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Thoughts are pervasive in our conscious experience, arising from sources of deliberate intention, habitual pattern, or even out of the blue. Thoughts of the lattermost category, referred to as spontaneous thoughts, have become the subject of a growing number of experimental investigations. An aspect of spontaneous thought that has remained difficult to study is the neural mechanisms supporting their initial generation. This is largely due to how the generation of spontaneous thoughts is neither deliberate nor conscious, making it difficult to collect self-report data as to their timing. However, past research has shown it is possible to use self-reports about the conscious onset of spontaneous thoughts as a benchmark for analyzing neural activations in the time before their conscious onset. This depends, however, on participants being able to report on a thought’s arising both quickly and accurately. Experienced mindfulness meditators have proven a useful participant sample to use when conducting such research, given their extensive practice in noting the arising of subtle mental events into conscious experience. Picking up where previous research left off, the present thesis examined the neural correlates of spontaneous thought by combining self-reports made by a sample of experienced mindfulness meditators with neural measurements collected via fMRI. Participants were instructed to report on the initial arising of spontaneous thoughts into their conscious experience, allowing us to analyze neural activations in the time leading up to their reports when the mechanisms supporting thought generation are believed to unfold. Unlike previous research, we did not observe neural activation associated with generation in the time leading up to participants self-reports. We instead observed widespread neural activation across brain systems involved in task monitoring, decision making, action planning, and semantic processing. These results suggest participants may have had difficulty reporting on the arising of spontaneous thoughts and thus relied upon semantic decision-making to evaluate their experience more rigorously. This raises the possibility that information about internal states, like thoughts, is at least partially stored as semantic knowledge. Our findings also provide important methodological guidelines to consider in future research examining the onset of subtle mental events.

description: At the recent Columbia Law School Kernochan Center Symposium Creation Is Not Its Own Reward: Making Copyright Work for Authors and Performers, a diverse group of creators, academics, lobbyists and practicing attorneys presented their views on how copyright law succeeds or fails in providing the creators of copyrighted works with appropriate rights and protections in the ever-changing digital copyright ecosystem. Speakers disagreed not only on whether or not the copyright system was working in favor of or against the interests of creators, but also on fundamental copyright principles. This is not surprising; while most academics and practitioners seem to accept, to one extent or another, that creators are not treated well in the digital age, there is no consensus on the 200-year-old constitutional threshold question: should copyright be viewed as a property interest or an economic theory? If a property interest, then copyright might actually work better for authors and performers in the future. But if an economic theory, the chance for authors and performers to thrive and prosper in the digital era decreases dramatically.

description: Overview This directory contains the PyTorch deep learning classification model trained to detect fresh impact craters on the surface of Mars in images collected by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Context Camera (CTX). The dataset used to train the model is located in a separate Zenodo repository [1]. The model expects a list of grayscale image tiles that are each 301x301 pixels in size, and returns a list of confidence values with the same length as the input list corresponding to how likely each image tile is to contain a fresh impact candidate.
 Archive Contents There are three files included in this directory that can be used to instantiate the classifier. First is the model itself, located in fresh_impacts_model.pt. The second is classifier.py, which can be used to load the model into Python with appropriate calibration parameters. Finally, the classifier_parameters.yaml file contains the keyword arguments that should be passed into the instantiate_classifier function to load the classifier instance.

description: Let $f_1,...,f_s \in \mathbb{K}[x_1,...,x_m]$ be a system of polynomials generating a zero-dimensional ideal $\I$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is an arbitrary algebraically closed field. Assume that the factor algebra $\A=\mathbb{K}[x_1,...,x_m]/\I$ is Gorenstein and that we have a bound $δ>0$ such that a basis for $\A$ can be computed from multiples of $f_1,...,f_s$ of degrees at most $δ$. We propose a method using Sylvester or Macaulay type resultant matrices of $f_1,...,f_s$ and $J$, where $J$ is a polynomial of degree $δ$ generalizing the Jacobian, to compute moment matrices, and in particular matrices of traces for $\A$. These matrices of traces in turn allow us to compute a system of multiplication matrices $\{M_{x_i}|i=1,...,m\}$ of the radical $\sqrt{\I}$, following the approach in the previous work by Janovitz-Freireich, Rónyai and Szántó. Additionally, we give bounds for $δ$ for the case when $\I$ has finitely many projective roots in $\mathbb{P}^m_\CC$.

description: We perform a semi-automated survey for tau>=2 Lyman Limit systems (LLSs) in quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Data Release 7. From a starting sample of 2473 quasars with zem=3.6-4.4, we analyze 469 spectra meeting strict seletion criteria for a total redshift path Dz=93.8 and identify 192 intervening systems at z>3.3. The incidence of tau>=2 LLSs per unit redshift, l(z), is well described by a single-power law at these redshifts: l(z) = C_LLS [(1+z)/(1+z_*)]^gamma, with z_*=3.7, C_LLS = 1.9+/-0.2, and gamma = 5.2+/-1.5 (68% c.l.). These values are systematically lower than previous estimates (especially at z<4) but are consistent with recent measurements of the mean free path to ionizing radiation. Extrapolations of this power-law to z=0 are inconsistent with previous estimations of l(z) at z<1 and suggest a break at z~2, similar to that observed for the Lya forest. Our results also indicate that the systems giving rise to LLS absorption decrease by ~50% in comoving number density and/or physical size from z=4 to 3.3, perhaps due to an enhanced extragalactic ultraviolet background. The observations place an integral constraint on the HI frequency distribution f(N_HI,X) and indicate that the power-law slope beta= dln[f(N,X)]/dln[N] is likely shallower than beta = -1 at N_HI=10^18 cm^-2. Including other constraints on f(N_HI,X) from the literature, we infer that beta is steeper than beta = -1.7 at N_HI~10^15 cm^-2, implying at least two inflections in f(N_HI,X). We also perform a survey for proximate LLSs (PLLSs) and find that l(z)_PLLS is systematically lower ~25% than intervening systems. Finally, we estimate that systematic effects impose an uncertainty of 10-20% in the l(z) measurements; these effects may limit the precision of all future surveys.

Copyright Policy and the Problem of Generalizing
Creators: name: Subotnik, Eva E.

description: Today we have heard a variety of concerns expressed by professional authors, artists and performers. But one of the toughest aspects of determining how to make the copyright system work better is generalizing about what is and is not working. In these brief remarks, I would like to identify three areas that demonstrate this difficulty. At the outset, a disclaimer: I took the animating theme of this Symposium to be the improvement of the financial stake of individual authors in some kind of direct way. This mode of analysis should be distinguished from other approaches, equally valid, that would seek out ways of benefitting individual creators by improving the financial position of Hollywood studios, record labels, publishers and the like. With that assumption stated, here are the three contexts that reflect the difficulty in generalizing: (1) the issue of identifying the kinds of creative activity that should properly be the focus of the copyright system; (2) the issue of evaluating copyright law’s application to the Internet, which is both a catalyst for and detractor from profitable authorship; and (3) the issue of framing the costs of enforcing copyright interests.

Making Copyright Work for Authors Who Write to Be Read

Year: 2015

description: As I prepared to speak on the topic of “academic perspectives” at the 2014 Kemochan Center Symposium Creation Is Not Its Own Reward: Making Copyright Work for Authors and Performers, I realized that the panel’s billing had multiple meanings for me. As a legal academic, I study the impact of copyright law on individual authors and the way that individual authors deploy copyright to manage their works. So that is one aspect of my academic perspective-that of an outsider observing authors’ relationships with copyright. But I also consider myself an author, as do other academics for whom writing scholarly books and articles is a job requirement. Most of us do not make money from selling copies of our works of authorship. But control over our works is nonetheless key to our professional endeavors, and copyright can be an important source of that control. Thus my second “academic perspective” is that of an academic author who wants copyright to work for her. In my capacity as an academic author, I have joined with several of my Berkeley colleagues to establish an organization called Authors Alliance. We aim to represent fellow academics and other authors concerned with managing their rights in ways that ensure that their works are accessible to today’s readers and preserved for generations to come. Hence our motto: promoting authorship for the public good by supporting authors who write to be read. This is not a mission that is at odds with authors making money from their works. But it recognizes that whether a book or article makes money or not, we want it to be accessible now and in the future and thereby to contribute to our intellectual legacies.

It is the Great Virtual Library, available at your local caf6 and everywhere else. It makes cultural products not only easier to access but also to modify (and to disseminate the modified versions). Because the Internet allows access and easy reuse, the Internet is the Global Meme Factory–it makes possible a great cycle of: (1) access to existing works; (2) copying them; (3) modifying them and (4) disseminating them, which repeats endlessly in various directions. The Internet offers major advantages for authors (though there are downsides, and I will discuss those later), users and new intermediaries.

Copyright Industry Perspectives: The Pivotal Role of TPMs in the Evolution of the Video Game Industry

description: The story of the video game industry, like that of many other creative art forms, is in part a testament to the power of copyright law. Compared with many other industries that rely on copyright protection, however, the video game industry is relatively young. Although there is considerable debate about the industry’s precise birthdate, most point to the early- to mid- 1970s as the point at which video games entered into the mainstream consciousness. Coming of age around the same time that the 1976 Copyright Act was being debated and later implemented, an initial challenge for the industry was simply ensuring that authors of video games received the same scope of copyright protection as authors of more traditional forms of media. Given that the defining characteristic of video game software was its interactivity, with the audiovisual output controlled in part by user interaction, there was initially some uncertainty about the extent to which early video games could be protected by copyright. Indeed, the Register of Copyrights once famously declined to register a copyright claim in the audiovisual components of a video game in part because the content was not an original work of authorship due to its interactive nature. In denying the claim for copyright, the Register noted that the audiovisual components of the game could not be registered because “they are created randomly by the player and not by the author of the video game.” Of course, the Register was subsequently persuaded to register the work, and questions about the copyrightability of video games have faded. Unsurprisingly, however, other copyright challenges have emerged.

description: The blue emission of polyfluorene (PF) based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is known to degrade due to a low energy green emission, which hitherto has been attributed to oxidative defects. By studying the electroluminescence from ethyl-hexyl substituted PF LEDs in the presence of oxygen and in an inert atmosphere, and by using trace quantities of paramagnetic impurities (PM) in the polymer, we show that the triplet states play a major role in the low energy emission mechanism. Our time-dependent many-body studies show that there is a large cross-section for the triplet formation in the electron-hole recombination process in presence of PM, and intersystem crossing from excited singlet to triplet states.

description: We present an absorption line analysis of the Lyman limit system (LLS) at z=3.55 in our Magellan/MIKE spectrum of PKS2000-330. Our analysis of the Lyman limit and full HI Lyman series constrains the total HI column density of the LLS (N_HI = 10^[18.0 +/- 0.25] cm^{-2} for b_HI >= 20 km/s) and also the N_HI values of the velocity subsystems comprising the absorber. We measure ionic column densities for metal-line transitions associated with the subsystems and use these values to constrain the ionization state (>90% ionized) and relative abundances of the gas. We find an order of magnitude dispersion in the metallicities of the subsystems, marking the first detailed analysis of metallicity variations in an optically thick absorber. The results indicate that metals are not well mixed within the gas surrounding high $z$ galaxies. Assuming a single-phase photoionization model, we also derive an N_H-weighted metallicity, = -1.66 +/- 0.25, which matches the mean metallicity in the neutral ISM in high z damped Lya systems (DLAs). Because the line density of LLSs is ~10 times higher than the DLAs, we propose that the former dominate the metal mass-density at z~3 and that these metals reside in the galaxy/IGM interface. Considerations of a multi-phase model do not qualitatively change these conclusions. Finally, we comment on an anomalously large O^0/Si^+ ratio in the LLS that suggests an ionizing radiation field dominated by soft UV sources (e.g. a starburst galaxy). Additional abundance analysis is performed on the super-LLS systems at z=3.19.

description: After fifteen-year-old Audrie Pott hanged herself, student reporters on her high school’s newspaper began investigating the circumstances leading up to the tragedy. The newspaper staff at Saratoga High School conducted over fifty interviews regarding Audrie’s sexual assault and the photos of her attack that classmates had circulated before her suicide. After weeks of research, three reporters published their findings on April 14, 2013, in an article involving five anonymous student sources. In August, when the three student reporters went back to school for the first day of a new academic year, they found subpoenas waiting for them. The subpoenas required them to name the confidential sources in their article. The reporters chose to protect the names of their confidential student sources, for whom exposure could carry harsh social, disciplinary and legal ramifications.

We (Still) Need to Talk About Aereo

Year: 2015

description: Recent judicial interpretations of U.S. copyright law have prompted businesses to design technologies in ways that enable the making and transmission of copies of works to consumers while falling outside the scope of the owner’s exclusive rights. The archetypal example was Aereo, Inc.’s system for providing online access to broadcast television. Aereo allowed users to tune into individual antennae to stream near-live TV to themselves, online. If this activity fell within the scope of the exclusive right of public performance, then it required the permission of right holders. The “Transmit Clause” of the U.S. Copyright Act’s definition of “to perform publicly” brings within the scope of the public performance right: [T]ransmitting or otherwise communicating a performance or display of the work . . . to the public, by means of any device or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the performance or display receive it in the same place or in separate places and at the same time or at different times. Holdings from the Second Circuit that the relevant performance was the specific transmission from each copy, and that those performances could not be public if made to only a single user, gave Aereo a blueprint for avoiding liability. It took up the invitation by designing a system incorporating thousands of dime-sized antennas. By temporarily assigning one to each user, from which she could access only the signals she could freely pick up from her own rooftop, Aereo’s service enabled individual copies to be made of each program and then transmitted on request to the user. Since each transmission was directed only to the single requesting user, Aereo argued it could not be considered made “to the public.”

Geodesic scattering and Lorentz invariance in stochastic gravity
Creators: name: Waterfield, Conor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Stochastic gravity is an extension of semiclassical gravity in which general relativity and quantum field theory are combined using the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. This approach opens up the ability to study problems where quantum fluctuations are important in semiclassical gravity. This framework has been used to demonstrate the possibility of parametric resonance between fluctuating quantum fields and spacetime causing an accelerated expansion of the universe. This may be one possible solution to the cosmological constant problem. In this thesis, I focus on both understanding the consequences of stochastic gravity models and developing consistent calculation methods. Fluctuating spacetime may indicate the possibility of scattering. Regularization techniques must be used in quantum field theory calculations. A method that involves a UV cutoff and maintains Lorentz invariance may be one useful approach. Scattering is studied through various approaches; as a form of Rayleigh scattering, as a result of interacting field theories, and as a direct influence on geodesics. Quantum field theory approaches to the scattering of geodesics are determined to be a small effect and are not predicted in the framework of semiclassical gravity or stochastic gravity. The study of geodesic deviation in interferometer experiments gives some indication that parametric resonance effects could have a significant role in stochastic gravity. The possibility of using Pauli-Villars as a Lorentz invariant approach to regularize quantum fields in stochastic gravity calculations is explored. The Pauli-Villars regularization scheme is shown to have significant problems when applied to stochastic gravity, such as failures in second-order stress-energy tensor terms and restrictions due to the kinematic properties of negative-norm fields.

description: The propagation invariance of Bessel beams as well as their transversal structure are used to perform a comparative analysis of their effect on cold atoms for four different configurations and combinations thereof. We show that, even at temperatures for which the classical description of the atom center of mass motion is valid, the interchange of momentum, energy and orbital angular momentum between light and atoms yields efficient tools for all-optical trapping, transporting and, in general, manipulating the state of motion of cold atoms.

description: Due to non-homogeneous mass distribution and non-uniform velocity rate inside the Sun, the solar outer shape is distorted in latitude. In this paper, we analyze the consequences of a temporal change in this figure on the luminosity. To do so, we use the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) as an indicator of luminosity. Considering that most of the authors have explained the largest part of the TSI modulation with magnetic network (spots and faculae) but not the whole, we could set constraints on radius and effective temperature variations (dR, dT). However computations show that the amplitude of solar irradiance modulation is very sensitive to photospheric temperature variations. In order to understand discrepancies between our best fit and recent observations of Livingston et al. (2005), showing no effective surface temperature variation during the solar cycle, we investigated small effective temperature variation in irradiance modeling. We emphasized a phase-shift (correlated or anticorrelated radius and irradiance variations) in the (dR, dT)-parameter plane. We further obtained an upper limit on the amplitude of cyclic solar radius variations, deduced from the gravitational energy variations. Our estimate is consistent with both observations of the helioseismic radius through the analysis of f-mode frequencies and observations of the basal photospheric temperature at Kitt Peak. Finally, we suggest a mechanism to explain faint changes in the solar shape due to variation of magnetic pressure which modifies the granules size. This mechanism is supported by our estimate of the asphericity-luminosity parameter, which implies an effectiveness of convective heat transfer only in very outer layers of the Sun.
