What Makes Persistent Identifiers Persistent? [PDF]
This essay sketches technical and non-technical issues around persistent identifiers (henceforth PIs) in a manner which makes no attempt to be complete. Our goal is to rescue the core notions from the obscurity which detail and completeness burdens them with.

On the Persistence of Persistent Identifiers of the Scholarly Web [PDF]
Scholarly resources, just like any other resources on the web, are subject to reference rot as they frequently disappear or significantly change over time. Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are commonplace to persistently identify scholarly resources and have become the de facto standard for citing them. We investigate the notion of persistence of DOIs

The persistence of position [PDF]
I describe a signal coined position persistence that stores information about the last seen position of an object. Position persistence is not the same as visible persistence, although some of its properties are similar. The duration of position persistence is such that objects visible briefly always generate a position signal for at least 180 ms.

Is dishonesty persistent? [PDF]
We study if (dis)honest behavior is persistent. We investigate this by exposing participants to different incentives to lie over time. Some participants are first exposed to high incentives and then to lower incentives; for others the reverse. If (dis)honest behavior is persistent, the propensity to lie depends on past incentives.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...
