Representing and Reasoning for Spatiotemporal Ontology Integration
2004
International audience; The World-Wide Web hosts many autonomous and heterogeneous information sources. In the near future each source may be described by its own ontology. The distributed nature of ontology development will lead to a large number of local ontologies covering overlapping domains. Ontology integration will then become an essential capability for effective interoperability and information sharing. Integration is known to be a hard problem, whose complexity increases particularly in the presence of spatiotemporal information. Space and time entail additional problems such as the heterogeneity of granularity used in representing spatial and temporal features. Spatio-temporal ob…
HiGeoMes: Distributed Geodatabases in an archaeological joint research project
2013
International audience; The project 'HiGeoMes' seeks to connect knowledge about archaeological sites in the Near East with place names in ancient sources of the 2nd millennium BC. The paper describes the digital approach to integrate textual and geographical information by emphasizing the impact of interfaces linking diverse datasets. Several OGC-based Web services provide reviewed archaeological information in a Web GIS with query capabilities. Place-related philological data are stored in an OWL-store to model the topological relations of unidentified sites. An interface integrates a graph-viewer with the Web GIS by invoking both WFS- and REST-services to spatially integrate the datasets.…
Semantic Mappings in Description Logics for Spatio-temporal Database Schema Integration
2005
International audience; The interoperability problem arises in heterogeneous systems where different data sources coexist and there is a need for meaningful information sharing. One of the most representive realms of diversity of data representation is the spatio-temporal domain. Spatio-temporal data are most often described according to multiple and greatly diverse perceptions or viewpoints, using different terms and with heterogeneous levels of detail. Reconciling this heterogeneity to build a fully integrated database is known to be a complex and currently unresolved problem, and few formal approaches exist for the integration of spatio-temporal databases. The paper discusses the interope…
Using cross-modal interactions to counterbalance salt reduction in solid foods
2011
International audience; We investigated odour-induced saltiness enhancement (OISE) in a solid model cheese with the aim of evaluating the influence of cross-modal interactions (odour-texture-taste) on saltiness perception and assessing the efficacy of using OISE to counterbalance salt reduction. Four model cheeses, varying in texture, were flavoured with three commercial tasteless aromas (comte cheese, sardine and carrot) differently associated with salty and cheesy food products. Twenty-seven consumers evaluated taste intensity, aroma intensity and its congruence with the product flavour, and the overall pleasantness of 12 flavoured and four unflavoured samples. The comparison of the perce…
Incertitudes et effets pervers de l'inflation scolaire
2006
06044http://ep.inrp.fr/EP/colloques/colloque_repenser_justice/communication_marie_duru_bellat/view; La méritocratie s'impose comme la seule voie à la fois juste et efficace de répartir les places (inégales) dans les sociétés démocratiques. Dès lors que la méritocratie fait l'objet d'une forte valorisation, et qu'on place toute confiance en l'école pour la faire advenir, tout développement de l'éducation ne peut aller que dans le sens du progrès : C'est un vecteur de réduction des inégalités sociales et d'accroissement de la mobilité sociale, les effets économiques et sociaux plus généraux en sont forcément positifs. Est-ce si sûr ? Sans balayer ici toutes ces questions, on pointera quelques…
Frequency Stability Measurement of Cryogenic Sapphire Oscillators with a Multichannel Tracking DDS and the Two-Sample Covariance
2018
This article shows the first measurement of three 100 MHz signals exhibiting fluctuations from 2E-16 to parts in 1E-15 for integration time tau between 1 s and 1 day. Such stable signals are provided by three Cryogenic Sapphire Oscillators (CSOs) operating at about 10 GHz, also delivering the 100 MHz output via a dedicated synthesizer. The measurement is made possible by a 6-channel Tracking DDS (TDDS) and the two-sample covariance tool, used to estimate the Allan variance. The use of two TDDS channels per CSO enables high rejection of the instrument background noise. The covariance outperforms the Three-Cornered Hat (TCH) method in that the background converges to zero "out of the box," wi…
Accreditation and validation of professional qualifications: Monitoring of the process by insertion companies.
2019
People at risk for exclusion and vulnerable populations have serious difficulties in accessing the ordinary labour market. Their work insertion is more complicated than that of people with high employability capacities. People's social exclusion risk could be reduced if, among other measures, their access would be facilitated to the accreditation and validation of their professional competences. This work shows how Work Integration Social Enterprises support people at risk for exclusion in obtaining the accreditation and validation of their professional qualifications. We critically describe and analyse the process, concluding that the initiative breaks with the perception of accreditat…
Szkoła - w stronę wielozmysłowego i wielointeligentnego poznawania świata
2019
Artykuł dotyczy teorii inteligencji wielorakich a także kompetencji zawodowych współczesnego nauczyciela jest interdyscyplinarnym ujęciem zagadnienia z pogranicza - : psychologii, neurobiologii – a umiejscowionych kontekstach współczesnej pedagogiki. Teoria o istnieniu wielu niezależnych od siebie inteligencji Howarda Gardnera kwestionująca traktowanie inteligencji jako „jednolitej konstrukcji” jest bazą wyjściową do deliberacji nad osobniczymi predylekcjami sensorycznymi ucznia. Zdobyta wiedza takiej proweniencji pozwala nauczycielowi na bardziej kreatywną interakcje edukacją i wychowawczą z uczniem
Convergence of prices on the pig market in selected European Union countries. Case study
2022
Due to its specificity, animal production depends to a lesser extent than plant production on agrometeorological conditions. Interdependence between the prices of animal products and climatic conditions manifests itself primarily through the fodder markets, which determine the profitability of animal breeding and keeping. The process of economic integration should contribute to a decline in price differentiation between European Union (EU) countries. In the case of the pig market, however, it is necessary to bear in mind the pig cycle, which particularly affects the supply of livestock and their prices. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) currently implemented is not adapted to the turbule…
The Sea Urchin sns Insulator Blocks CMV Enhancer following Integration in Human Cells
2001
Insulators are a new class of genetic elements that attenuate enhancer function directionally. Previously, we characterized in sea urchin a 265-bp-long insulator, termed sns. To test insulator activity following stable integration in human cells, we placed sns between the CMV enhancer and a tk promoter up-stream of a GFP transgene of plasmid or retroviral vectors. In contrast to controls, cells transfected or transduced with insulated constructs displayed a barely detectable fluorescence. Southern blot and PCR ruled out vector rearrangement following integration into host DNA; RNase protection confirmed the enhancer blocking activity. Finally, we demonstrate that two cis-acting sequences, p…
