This theft impacts many areas of US life including increased cost of goods, diffculty participating in international trade, and increased national security concerns. This paper looks at three areas of intellectual property theft: patent theft, copyright theft, and trade secret theft, using specifc examples of each. In examining each of these examples, we discuss the implications of this theft for US citizens as well as the relationship between the United States and Chinese governments. This paper concludes that Chinese intellectual property theft has a signifcant negative impact on the relationship

This wall is a collaboration between two Latin American artists, Abstrk from Miami and Entes from Peru. The artists combine fictional characters with portraits of locally and nationally renown graffiti writers like Lady Pink, Reds, Verse, and the curator of the Museum of Graffiti, Mare139. The faces are so cohesive that only a trained eye can differentiate between Abstrk’s vampire style and Entes’ signature characters. Be sure to grab a pamphlet inside the Museum so you can play “What’s the difference?”. 2. Artist Ezo has been painting aerosol art since 1979. His interest in documenting the ephemeral graffiti artform led him to founding one of the first internet graffiti directories in 1997. Fast forward to 2020, Ezo still focuses on preserving graffiti history as evidenced by him painting this portrait of Phase II who is considered to be a legend in the graffiti art movement and is generally credited with originating the "bubble letter" style of aerosol writing. Phase II passed away on December 20, 2019, two weeks after the opening of the Museum of Graffiti.

  • Statistical Characteristics of Convective Storms in Darwin, Northern Australia
    Examensarbete vid Institutionen för geovetenskaper ISSN 1650-6553 Nr 125 Statistical Characteristics of Convective Storms in Darwin, Northern Australia Andreas Vallgren Abstract This M. Sc. thesis studies the statistical characteristics of convective storms in a monsoon regime in Darwin, northern Australia. It has been conducted with the use of radar. Enhanced knowledge of tropical convection is essential in studies of the global climate, and this study aims to bring light on some special characteristics of storms in a tropical environment. The observed behaviour of convective storms can be implemented in the parameterisation of these in cloud-resolving regional and global models. The wet season was subdivided into three regimes; build-up and breaks, the monsoon and the dry monsoon. Using a cell tracking system called TITAN, these regimes were shown to support different storm characteristics in terms of their temporal, spatial and height distributions. The build-up and break storms were seen to be more vigorous and particularly modulated diurnally by sea breezes. The monsoon was dominated by frequent but less intense and vertically less extensive convective cores. The explanation for this could be found in the atmospheric environment, with monsoonal convection having oceanic origins together with a mean upward motion of air through the depth of the troposphere. The dry monsoon was characterised by suppressed convection due to the presence of dry mid-level air. The effects of wind shear on convective line orientations were examined. The results show a diurnal evolution from low-level shear parallel orientations of convective lines to low-level shear perpendicular during build-up and breaks.
