Key words: copyright, work, artificial intelligence, computer program In the article, the problemsof legislation of Ukraine regarding the issues of copyright on works created due to artificialintelligence were analyzed. Particularly, who is the owner of copyright ofworks created due to artificial intelligence. On the one hand, it could be a developer ofa computer program, from the other hand, it could be a client or an employer. Because,it could happen that there is a situation when robots created something newand original, e.g., how it happened with the project “New Rembrandt”. In this case,computers created a unique portrait of Rembrandt. And here is a question, where isin this portrait original and intellectual works of developers of these computers andprograms. In the contrast, this portrait could be created without people who developedspecial machines, programs, and computers. The article’s author proposes to addinto Ukrainian legislation with following norm: the owner of the copyright createddue to artificial intelligence should be a natural person who uses artificial intelligencefor these purposes within the official relationship or on the basis of a contract. In caseof automatic generation of such work by artificial intelligence, the owner of copyrightshould be the developer.Also, another question arises, particularly, who will be responsible for the damagecaused by the artificial intelligence. As an example, of the solution for this issue Resolution2015/2103 (INL) was given, where is mentioned that human agent could be responsiblefor the caused damage. Because, it is not always a developer is responsiblefor the damage.Also, the legislation and justice practice of foreign countries was explored. Theways of overcoming mentioned problems in legislation of Ukraine were proposed.Such as changing our legislation and giving the exact explanation in who is the ownerof copyright on works created due to artificial intelligence and in which cases this personcould become an owner of the copyright. However, probably, these issues shouldbe resolved at international level regarding globalization.

Pleurobrachia Pileus

Patterns of water flow around steadily beating comb plates of Pleurobrachia pileus were tracked using suspended plastic beads. The positions of the beads and the comb plates in the plane of the central longitudinal axis of the comb row were digitised from high-speed cine films covering several beat cycles. All of the data from each sequence were combined using a computer program which integrated them into a standard cycle, and the resulting data were plotted by a second computer program to produce charts for different stages in the beat cycle showing the flow velocity at a grid of points. On these charts, contour maps were drawn to indicate the speed and direction of the water flow. Water is drawn towards each comb row from ahead and from the sides and accelerates strongly backwards in a fairly narrow stream which joins those from the other seven comb rows at the rear of the animal. At a beat frequency of 10 Hz the comb plates move with a tip speed of up to 70 mm s-1 in their effective stroke; they have an estimated Reynolds number of 9 in this stroke. Changes in inter- plate volume between adjacent antiplectically coordinated plates are very important in propulsion, particularly near the end of the effective stroke when pairs of adjacent plates close together and cause the high-speed water from around the ciliary tips to be shed into the overlying stream as a series of jets at speeds of 50 mm s-1 or more. The antiplectic coordination of the comb plates makes a major contribution to the efficiency of propulsion.

The Given

A method for the calculation of multiple critical depths in compound and natural channels, using an adaptive cubic polynomials algorithm (ACPA), is presented in this paper. The algorithm is based on the approximation of the specific energy with multiple cubic polynomials. The roots of these polynomials’ derivatives are determined to calculate all local minima and maxima. These extremities yield the critical depths. Furthermore, the Froude number can be calculated at any elevation by applying a simple formula after calculating the derivative of the corresponding polynomial, which contains the given elevation. The algorithm developed was tested on various compound and natural channels. Its results were then compared with the results provided by the HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center – River Analysis System) computer program, proving that in some cases ACPA results were more accurate than those of HEC-RAS. This has to do with the fact that HEC-RAS algorithm determines a single critical depth and is better fitted to simple prismatic channels. On the other hand, the ACPA algorithm is able to calculate all critical depths of a natural or compound channel, providing thus more accurate results.

Pages H2117–H2136: Nordin, Charles. “Computer model of membrane current and intracellular Ca2+ flux in the isolated guinea pig ventricular myocyte.” Figure 13: Units of time in Fig. 13B are seconds (not milliseconds). The output for concentration, using the equations of the appendix, is in units of 10−3 mol/l (millimolar). Equation A29 should read (See PDF) Equations A30a and A31a should read (See PDF) Note: All errors in equations, except for the term with asterisk in Eq. A31a and removal of the term (0.1 x iCa) from Eq. A30a, were made in transcribing the computer program to the set of printed equations and therefore do not involve any simulations of the paper. The other changes are refinements of the program that slightly reduce the rise in [Na+]myo and fall in [K+]myo with increasing stimulation rate (Fig. 5A) but do not affect other aspects of the behavior of the model in any significant way.

AbstractThis paper describes a computer program used to compute equivalent widths via an IBM 2250 attached to an IBM 360/75J.The measurement of stellar equivalent widths is a long tedious procedure and the final results depend to a large extent on where the stellar continuum is drawn. Therefore, a method which permits the continuum to be redrawn and the equivalent width remeasured quickly is desirable. An interactive CRT display device is an ideal instrument for allowing an astronomer to adjust the continuum level and the other parameters that are involved in equivalent width measurements. The display device discussed in this paper is an IBM model 2250 used in conjunction with a IBM 360/75J.The “2250” consists of a 12 inch (30 cm) square CRT display tube plus a 32 function key box, an alphanumeric keyboard and a light pen which can be pointed at any illuminated spot on the screen. Thus, there are 34 interrupts that can be sensed by the program controlling the “2250”. The program that has been used communicates with the astronomer via messages and questions displayed on the CRT screen. The main program remains in a wait state until one of the 34 possible interrupts occurs, whereupon it branches to the designated subroutine and executes the procedures necessary to satisfy the interrupt.

The performance comparison of water as a refrigerant (R718) with some prevailing refrigerants including R717, R290, R134a, R12, R22, and R152a is presented. A computer program simulating an actual vapor compression refrigeration cycle including subcooling was developed to calculate the coefficient of performances (COPs) for the different refrigerants. Evaporator temperatures above which water yields a better COP over the other refrigerants are investigated for subcooling case. The effect of degree of subcooling on the COPs is elaborated. For most of the refrigerants (R290, R134a, R12, R22, and R152a) the COP increases by around one percent (1%) per one Kelvin (1K) subcooling, while the COP for R718 and R717 increases by around 0.2 % and 0.5 % per one Kelvin (1K) subcooling. At constant evaporator temperature, increasing the degree of subcooling results in decrease of the relative COP gain of R718. R718 gives the highest relative COP increase at constant condenser temperature and polytropic efficiency. The effect of polytropic efficiency on the performance is also investigated. It is observed that the evaporator temperature range at which R718 presents a better COP than other refrigerants increases with increasing values of polytropic compressor efficiency if the degree of subcooling is kept constant.

Authorship Analysis

This paper presents an investigation into the extent to which the lexical choices made by different poets are distinctive. When a writer, writes, s/he makes lexical choices that make them different from other writers and the writing to some extent can be considered as their fingerprint or in the other word their signature. Authorship analysis by means of textual measurements has been the interest of so many linguists. Authors have their own styles and the stylometrist is interested in finding units which can distinct authors from each other. Statistical analysis has provided different tools for this attempt, by different scholars. Over the past 3 centuries many types of textual tools has been introduced to discriminate different authors objectively that developing in computer programing has played the important role for using these models. In this study by writing a computer program, the styles of different Iranian poets, Attar and Molavi, and Nezami, are investigated in terms of their word length and word richness. Result shows differences between their styles in terms of these parameters. This way of analyzing writing of different authors has some implications in different field of sociolinguistic and TOEFL.

Willingness To Cooperate

According to an influential hypothesis, people imitate motor movements to foster social interactions. Could imitation of language serve a similar function? We investigated this question in two pre-registered experiments. In Experiment 1, participants were asked to alternate naming pictures and matching pictures to a name provided by a partner. Crucially, and unknown to participants, the partner was in fact a computer program which in one group produced the same names as previously used by the participant, and in the other group consistently produced different names. We found no difference in how the two groups evaluated the partner or the interaction and no difference in their willingness to cooperate with the partner. In Experiment 2, we made the task more similar to natural interactions by adding a stage in which a participant and the partner introduced themselves to each other and included a measure of the participant's autistic traits. Once again, we found no effects of being imitated. We discuss how these null results may inform imitation research.
