GPCALMA: A Grid-based tool for mammographic screening
2005
The next generation of High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments requires a GRID approach to a distributed computing system and the associated data management: the key concept is the Virtual Organisation (VO), a group of distributed users with a common goal and the will to share their resources. A similar approach is being applied to a group of Hospitals which joined the GPCALMA project (Grid Platform for Computer Assisted Library for MAmmography), which will allow common screening programs for early diagnosis of breast and, in the future, lung cancer. HEP techniques come into play in writing the application code, which makes use of neural networks for the image analysis and proved to be useful…
Which Test Artifacts Testing Service Providers should Reuse and How? Experiences from a Case Study in the Chinese ICT Sourcing Market
2011
Software testing service providers are facing new requirements to shorten service times, lower costs, and increase service customization and quality. Reuse of test artifacts is a possible solution that can help providers to meet the requirements because reuse can improve software quality and productivity. However, the extant literature does not explain in depth which test artifacts should be reused and how. This paper focuses on ICT-enabled sourcing of software testing services in the Chinese market to identify the most important reusable test artifacts. There are two reasons for this research. First, most Chinese service providers are small or medium-sized and have to overcome obstacles su…
Issues in Software Inspection Practices
2005
The motivation for this research comes from a need to improve software inspection practices in software organizations. Even if inspections are well defined and regularly used in an organization, there may be some problems which can greatly reduce inspection effectiveness. The paper presents a list of inspection related problems which are known in the literature. It also relates some experiences from two case organizations. In addition, this paper provides an approach which helps identifying problems of this kind and directing limited improvement resources effectively.
Il Servizio Idrico Integrato: governance e gestione
2017
La materia del governo delle acque, in considerazione dei diversi aspetti coinvolti, ci pone con particolare forza di fronte al tema dei rapporti tra ordinamento europeo e ordinamento interno e, nell'ambito dell'ordinamento interno, al riparto di competenza legislativa tra lo Stato e le Regioni. La disciplina del SII può considerarsi distinta in tre diversi ambiti: l'assetto organizzativo e quindi la disciplina degli ambiti territoriali ottimali (ATO) e degli enti di governo (EGA) - c.d. governance del SII - di competenza legislativa delle Regioni; la disciplina relativa alle forme di gestione del servizio e alle modalità di affidamento al soggetto gestore nonché la disciplina della tariffa…
A nicely behaved singular integral on a purely unrectifiable set
2001
We construct an example of a purely 1-unrectifiable AD-regular set E in the plane such that the limit
The Kp Hierarchy
1989
As an application of the theory of infinite-dimensional Grassmannians and the representation theory of gl1 we shall study in this chapter certain nonlinear “exactly solvable” systems of differential equations. Exactly solvable means here that the nonlinear system can be transformed to an (infinite-dimensional) linear problem. A prototype of the equations is the Korteweg-de Vries equation $$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}} = \frac{3}{3}u\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}} + \frac{1}{4}\frac{{{\partial ^3}u}}{{\partial {x^3}}}$$ . It turns out that it is more natural to consider an infinite system of equations like that above, for obtaining explicit solutions. The set of equations is called th…
Set valued integrability in non separable Fréchet spaces and applications
2016
AbstractWe focus on measurability and integrability for set valued functions in non-necessarily separable Fréchet spaces. We prove some properties concerning the equivalence between different classes of measurable multifunctions. We also provide useful characterizations of Pettis set-valued integrability in the announced framework. Finally, we indicate applications to Volterra integral inclusions.
Oviposition deterrence and repellent activities of selected essential oils against Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): laboratory and g…
2022
AbstractTuta absoluta, an invasive pinworm characterized by high reproductive potential and adaptation to different agroecological conditions, cause serious damage to tomato crops. Chemical control with synthetic insecticides is widely used to control this pest, although pesticides exhibit side effects on non-target organisms and negatively impact the environment, with the occurrence of resistance to some active substances in the target pest. The use of essential oils (EOs) from aromatic or officinal plants could represent an environmentally safe control method, alternative to synthetic insecticide application. In this work we investigated the effect of EOs from Spanish oregano, laurel, bas…
Pesticides: Chemical and Biological.
2013
There is a requirement by World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other International Organizations to develop environmentally sustainable systems for controlling pests that are less reliant on chemical pesticides as the primary management tool. However biological control alone cannot at the moment solve all pest problems and must be considered instrument to be used in combination with other methods. Compatibility of chemical pesticides (CP) and biological pesticides (BP) is one of the key for the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Testing the compatibility of CP and BP is necessary if these two agents are to be applied together…
