Evaluation of ECG: comparison of decision tree and fuzzy rules induction

2004

This paper compares two different approaches to computer-aided analysis of ECG signals. ECG records are preprocessed by the wavelet transform, and the machine learning method of decision trees and fuzzy rules induction are used for classification. The wavelet transform allows good localisation of QRS complexes, P and T waves in time and amplitude. The average accuracy of detection of all events is above 87 per cent. For learning and further classification we use Quinlan's See5 application and FURL (FUzzy Rule Learner). We used the MIT-BIH database for experiments. Diverse settings of the parameters for decision tree generation (tree pruning, attribute selection, class sets) were examined. T…

La juste valeur satisfait-elle les qualités essentielles de l’information financière ? Le point de vue des analystes financiers français

2010

The primary purpose of the application of fair value accounting is to provide financial informations that investors find most helpful in their decision making. To help better understand this issue, this research project examines the decision usefulness of fair value information to investors. Using a survey of French financial analysts, this study investigates the principal qualitative characteristics of fair value information. We examine especially whether this information is relevant, reliable and comparable. The results document that financial analysts consider fair value as an approach able to r eflect the current economic reality of the firm and to ameliorate the assessment of financial…

50 years of capital mobility in the eurozone: breaking the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle

2021

AbstractThis paper assesses capital mobility for the Eurozone countries by studying the long-run relationship between domestic investment and savings for the period 1970-2019. Our main goal is to analyze the impact of economic events on capital mobility during this period. We apply the cointegration methodology in a setting that allows us to identify endogenous breaks in the long-run saving-investment relationship. Precisely, the breaks coincide with relevant economic events. We find a downward trend in the saving-investment retention since the 70s for the so-called “core countries”, whereas this trend is not so evident in the peripheral, where the financial and sovereign crises have had a …

Dynamics and Topology

Topology and Dynamics unite key fields of research that have recently spurred intense scientific interest but also cover the key functionalities of devices that require stable properties combined with ultra-fast and/or low power operation. The concept of topology plays an important role in nature and has implications in many fields of science as diverse as cosmology, particle physics, quantum manybody systems, superfluidity, liquid crystals, and metallurgy. The topology of a system is described by a topological charge, which emerges from the winding of an order parameter that lives in a space characterizing the eigenstates of the system. Topological properties of states of diverse nature no…

Christiani Matrimonii Institutio per Des. Erasmum Roterodamum, opus nunc primum & natum, & excusum

The author re-evaluates the concept of conjugal love: marriage is the mystical union of two souls, the expression of an emotional understanding between spouses. He also suggests a mitigation of the norms on the indissolubility of marriage: if there is conflict between the spouses, for the salvation of their souls he considers the possibility, as extrema ratio, of dissolving their marriage.

Zentrum für Schul-, Bildungs- und Hochschulforschung

The Center for School, Education, and Higher Education Research is a central research facility of Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz that is supported by the Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Weiterbildung und Kultur des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz (Ministry of Science, Further Education, and Culture of Rhineland-Palatinate). The center combines the different expertises of JGU in three pillars: School, education, and higher education research. It supports strategic networking, academic exchange among researchers and scholars, and thus contributes to profile building of the three pillars.

Asthma diagnosis in infants and preschool children: a systematic review of clinical guidelines.

2019

Background and aim: The definition and diagnosis of asthma are the subject of controversy that is particularly intense in the case of individuals in the first years of life, due to reasons such as the difficulty of performing objective pulmonary function tests or the high frequency with which the symptoms subside in the course of childhood. Since there is no consensus regarding the diagnosis of asthma in preschool children, a systematic review has been carried out. Materials and methods: A systematic search was made of the clinical guidelines published in the last 10 years and containing information referred to the concept or diagnosis of asthma in childhood - including the first years of l…

“Grande Abatellis” and the “Quadreria della Regia Università

In the "Sala Gerbasi” (also called “Sala delle Capriate”) at the Steri has been set up the new picture gallery of the University, thanks to the “Grande Abatellis” Project within the Valorization Agreement, which aims to make available part of the collections in the deposits of the Regional Gallery of Palazzo Abatellis.

Laboratory for the Study of Learning and Development

The LEAD is a cognitive psychology laboratory that studies the modifications of information processing processes following learning (implicit, didactic and professional) and development. The theoretical originality of the unit is to defend a parsimonious approach to cognition that differs from the dominant theoretical models. Basic research is complemented by research with direct implications in the field of health, and to a lesser extent, education and business. An increasing place is given to interdisciplinary studies. LEAD studies the mental activities that regulate our behavioural interactions with the environment. The development of these mental activities as well as their dysfunctions…

Quia non ascendit suma : la riqueza del clero de la ciudad de Zaragoza durante la Baja Edad Media (1272-1456)

2021

[ES] El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar la riqueza y la desigualdad socioeconómica del clero zaragozano a través de las fuentes fiscales durante la Baja Edad Media. Mediante el análisis de los libros de décimas pontificias conservados en el Archivo de la Corona de Aragón y en el Archivo Apostólico Vaticano es posible documentar la tasa contributiva de los clérigos aragoneses, en general, y de los zaragozanos, en particular. En concreto, a través de un estudio cronológico amplio, se puede definir la estructura y la jerarquía de la Iglesia zaragozana, comprobar cómo evolucionó la riqueza de los eclesiásticos y cómo afectaron a este grupo heterogéneo las diferentes coyunturas económicas …
