Movie Script Similarity Using Multilayer Network Portrait Divergence
2020
International audience; This paper addresses the question of movie similarity through multilayer graph similarity measures. Recent work has shown how to construct multilayer networks using movie scripts, and how they capture different aspects of the stories. Based on this modeling, we propose to rely on the multilayer structure and compute different similarities, so we may compare movies, not from their visual content, summary, or actors, but actually from their own storyboard. We propose to do so using “portrait divergence”, which has been recently introduced to compute graph distances from summarizing graph characteristics. We illustrate our approach on the series of six Star Wars movies.
Polysemy and Search for Meaning in Dea Loher’s Adam Geist
2018
En el presente trabajo se analizan tanto el desmoronamiento del sentido como la búsqueda subsiguiente de este en relación con el protagonista de la obra teatral de la dramaturga alemana Dea Loher, Adam Geist (1998). Al desmoronarse el sentido, la realidad del protagonista deviene indeterminable y polisémica. El personaje adopta una variedad de identidades para contraponerse a esta nueva realidad. La lógica espacio-temporal se destruye y, a causa de ello, se genera una expansión espacial y una compresión temporal a las que debe adaptarse el protagonista.
Software tools for using a personal computer as a timer device to assess human kinematic performance: a case study.
1995
Frequently, the assessment of the physical condition of a sportsman depends on the evaluation of different tests, based on biomechanical performance. The data acquisition in these tests is usually hand made, because its automatization is difficult. But when movements are constrained by means of their specific nature, simple tools can be used to achieve that data acquisition. In this paper, a simple and inexpensive system is described to make use of the timing capabilities of a personal computer (PC) to use it as a timer, with applications in biomechanics and sport training. The data acquisition method is based on a PC that, using a specific programming dealing with event timing, gets signal…
Interneta iepazīšanās platformas: motivācija un lietošanas paradumi
2022
Bakalaura darbs “Interneta iepazīšanās platformas: motivācija un lietošanas paradumi” pēta lietotāju paradumus, izmantojot iepazīšanās portālus, platformas. Potenciālie portālu lietotāji mūsdienās atturas no iepazīšanās portālu lietošanas, par iemeslu minot, ka gan motivācija tos izmantot zūd, jo ļoti maza daļa sabiedrības negūst rezultātus, kā arī ne visi izmanto iepazīšanās portālu pilno potenciālu un izmantošanas iespējas. Darba mērķis: Iegūt padziļinātu priekštatu par iepazīšanās portāliem, to darbības principiem, kā arī izpētīt, kā tās palīdz vai otrādi – traucē kvalitatīvi un droši cilvēkiem iepazīties vai komunicēt internetā. To sākotnējais mērķis ir iepazīstināt cilvēkus, radīt vidi…
Status of ITER TBM port plug conceptual design and analyses
2014
The test blanket module port plug (TBM PP) consists of a TBM frame and two TBM-sets. However, at any time of the ITER operation, a TBM set can be replaced by a dummy TBM. The frame provides a standardized interface with the vacuum vessel (VV)/port structure and provides thermal isolation from the shield blanket. As one of the plasma-facing components, it shall withstand heat loads while at the same time provide adequate neutron shielding for the VV and magnet coils. The frame design shall provide a stable engineering solution to hold TBM-sets and also provide a mean for rapid remote handling replacement and refurbishment. This paper presents main design features of the conceptual design of …

The Best Hedging Strategy in the Presence of Transaction Costs
2009
Considerable theoretical work has been devoted to the problem of option pricing and hedging with transaction costs. A variety of methods have been suggested and are currently being used for dynamic hedging of options in the presence of transaction costs. However, very little was done on the subject of an empirical comparison of different methods for option hedging with transaction costs. In a few existing studies the different methods are compared by studying their empirical performances in hedging only a plain-vanilla short call option. The reader is tempted to assume that the ranking of the different methods for hedging any kind of option remains the same as that for a vanilla call. The …
Optimal Index Tracking Under Transaction Costs and Impulse Control
1998
We apply impulse control techniques to a cash management problem within a mean-variance framework. We consider the strategy of an investor who is trying to minimise both fixed and proportional transaction costs, whilst minimising the tracking error with respect to an index portfolio. The cash weight is constantly fluctuating due to the stochastic inflow and outflow of dividends and liabilities. We show the existence of an optimal strategy and compute it numerically.
Infrastructure as Interface: Thinking the Urban and the High-speed Railway Station: Italian Case-studies
2013
The recent launching in Italy of a number of large scale urban operations centered around High Speed Railway (HSR) stations has added a wealth of examples and themes to the overall European picture; these go to make up a global point of reference for other countries that are, in this period, undertaking the construction of their own HSR networks. Above and beyond the territorial questions often linked to the issue, further research investigating the architectural aspect of these operations would be highly relevant, but is rather lacking. Instead, we shall be focusing on current HSR stations in Italy, such as Turin Porta Susa, Florence Belfiore and Rome Tiburtina, and comparing them briefly,…
Progetti di rigenerazione nella città-porto di Saint-Nazaire. Strategie di tutela e trasformazione del patrimonio bellico / Plans of regeneration in …
2008
The European city represents today an extraordinary skill for the innovation and transformation of the relationship between architectural design and the built environment. During the last few years many great cities and smaller cores have started regeneration plans throughout design review process that covers namely the waterfronts as well as protection and preservation of built artefacts. A variety of conditions in many European cities – changes in urban structures, new economical and industrials arrays – affecting today the relation between town and infrastructures. The case-study of St. Nazaire shows in particularly a strategy to re-link town and harbour area. The projects developed at t…
