This article, a follow-up to an Opinion published by the E.I.P.R. in 2016 (‘Interrogating Copyright History’ by E. Cooper and R. Deazley), surveys recent developments in copyright history scholarship and argues that, as well as a form of scholarly enquiry in its own right, histor … | Continue reading
Lisp is the second oldest programming language, and the first one to value productivity more than raw execution speed. This initial disregard for performance has indeed led to some mind-bogglingly slow implementations, especially in the early days, but modern Lisp compilers such … | Continue reading
Geographical clustering of the earliest known COVID-19 cases and the proximity of positive environmental samples to live-animal vendors suggest that the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was the site of origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. | Continue reading
The Origins of SARS-CoV-2: A Critical Review Holmes et al. Since the first reports of a novel SARS-like coronavirus in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, there has been intense interest in understanding how SARS-CoV-2 emerged in the human population. Recent debate has coalesced aroun … | Continue reading
The COVID-19 pandemic has suddenly raised the need for technological solutions capable to trace contacts of people and provide location-based analytics. Several countries have adopted proximity-based (short- range) technologies, such as Bluetooth, which however appear hindered by … | Continue reading
Abstract This dataset, composed of 440 sounds, contains meows emitted by cats in different contexts. Specifically, 21 cats belonging to 2 breeds (Maine Coon and European Shorthair) have been repeatedly exposed to three different stimuli that were expected to induce the emission o … | Continue reading

This dataset contains limits to the inland diffusion of terminus-initiated thinning along 141 Greenland Ice Sheet outlet glaciers. The data is separated in 187 files and each file contains data for an individual outlet glacier or a branch of an outlet glacier. Shapefiles and NetC … | Continue reading
Two possibilities should be considered for the origin of SARS-CoV-2: natural evolution or laboratory creation. In our earlier report titled “Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of … | Continue reading
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has led to over 910,000 deaths worldwide and unprecedented decimation of the global economy. Despite its tremendous impact, the origin of SARS-CoV-2 has remained mysterious and controversial. The natural origin theo … | Continue reading

How a sidekick scripting language for Java, created at Netscape in a ten-day hack, ships first as a de facto Web standard and eventually becomes the world’s most widely used programming language. This paper tells the story of the creation, design, evolution, and standardization o … | Continue reading
World ships are hypothetical, large, self-contained spacecraft for crewed interstellar travel, taking centuries to reach other stars. Due to their crewed nature, size and long trip times, the feasibility of world ships faces an additional set of challenges compared to interstella … | Continue reading

This is data going back to 1896 that shows how the Dow Jones performed during times when Mars was within 30 degrees of the lunar node. The data contains the daily percentage changes of the Dow Jones since 1896. This information was extrapolated from sources believed to be reliabl … | Continue reading
Emacs Lisp (Elisp) is the Lisp dialect used by the Emacs text editor family. GNU Emacs can currently execute Elisp code either interpreted or byte-interpreted after it has been compiled to byte-code. In this work we discuss the implementation of an optimizing compiler approach fo … | Continue reading

Today, science involves software. And although many scientists understand that their work stands on the shoulders of others, they may not know how copyright affects their rights to use others' software, or how they can publish their software tools so others can use or cite it.
