Synthetic Biology in Action

2014

Last decade has witnessed remarkable advances towards the engineering of life. The examples range from the design of an efficient cellular factory for the semi-synthesis of the antimalarial drug artemisinin, to the chemical synthesis of chromosomes, both bacterial and eukaryotic. In parallel, advances in the deep characterization of cell machineries in the simplest cells show that we are very far of fully understanding the regulation of metabolic and genetic circuits. Biological emergent properties and noise may suppose an obstacle for predictive design. Besides the obvious biotechnological benefits of synthetic biology, the path towards the artificial cell will report new insights on the e…

Using System Dynamics modelling to frame environmental voluntary commitment programs: the French experience

2021

This study stems from a research project aimed at investigating the factors facilitating and hampering the success of the EVE (Engagements Volontaires pour l’Environnement) program recently launched in France. Similarly to other countries, in which successfully environmental voluntary commitment programs are currently in place (SmartWay in the USA), EVE program aspires to improve transport operators efficiency and to reduce CO2 emissions in the environment. However, the multiple relationships between public and private actors involved in the program (ranging from the program coordinator to transport organisations), the complexity of transport and logistics sector (including the differences …

Infrastructure and system programming for digital ecosystems used in natural disaster management

2009

Researchers in most fields of activity must concentrate their efforts to eradicate or at least to mitigate the negative effects of “global warming”, which affect the entire planet. Within this context, we strongly believe that IT&C specialists should also approach the issue. Therefore, this paper presents the results and solutions obtained during the development of a research contract dealing on the one hand with real-time data collection and data centralization in a decision making system, and on the other with the dissemination of information among the people exposed to the effects of natural disasters such as: floods, storms, tsunamis, or other natural disasters which may destroy propert…

epiModel: A system to build automatically systems of differential equations of compartmental type-epidemiological models

2011

In this paper we describe epiModel, a code developed in Mathematica that facilitates the building of systems of differential equations corresponding to type-epidemiological linear or quadratic models whose characteristics are defined in text files following an easy syntax. It includes the possibility of obtaining the equations of models involving age and/or sex groups. © 2011.

Uz nestriktās matemātikas balstīta pieeja daudzkritēriju lineārām programēšanas problēmām

2022

Uz nestriktās matemātikas balstīta pieeja daudzkritēriju lineārām programēšanas problēmām. Šmits E., vadītāja Grigorenko O. Bakalaura darbs, 31 lappuses, 12 attēli, 4 literatūras avoti. Latviešu valodā. Vienas funkcijas maksimizēšana pie dotiem ierobežojumiem ir salīdzinoši vienkāršs un pašsaprotams process, savukārt, brīdī, kad ir nepieciešams maksimizēt divas vai vairāk mērķa funkcijas, uzdevuma atrisinājums var nebūt vairs tik skaidrs, jo dotās mērķa funkcijas var būt savstarpēji pretējas. Līdz ar to ir nepieciešams izstrādāt metodes, kas ļautu šāda tipa uzdevumus risināt. Darbā tika apkopota un pasniegta informācija par nestriktu pieeju vairāku mērķa funkciju lineārās programmēšanas uzd…

Šaha taktikas treniņprogramma

2017

Kvalifikācijas darba mērķis ir izstrādāt programmatūru, kas palīdzēs šahistiem uzlabot savas šaha taktiskās domāšanas spējas interaktīvi risinot šaha uzdevumus. Projekta ietvaros tika izveidota programmatūras prasību specifikācija un programmatūras projektējuma apraksts, tika veikta testēšana un tā tika aprakstīta dokumentācijā. Programma tiek veidota lai šahisti varētu trenēt sava taktiskās domāšanas spējas ar datora palīdzību, tādejādi papildinot savu trenēšanās iespēju klāstu un paātrinot treniņu procesu, jo atšķirībā no ierastās šahistu trenēšanās metodes, kur šahist izpēta jau izspēlētas šaha spēles reāla galdiņa, šaha situācijas tiek veidotas grafiskajā vidē, aiztaupot laiku, kas tiek…

<strong>Nomenclatural notes on Fabaceae described from Sicily</strong>

2021

A note about some taxa in Anthyllis and Trifolium (Fabaceae) described from Sicily is presented. Concerning Trifolium, we provide the lectotypification of the name T. pratense var. semipurpureum (≡ T. pratense subsp. semipurpureum), using a specimen preserved at PAL (Todaro’s collection). Concerning the Lojacono-Pojero’s name Vulneraria heterophylla var. parvula, it is lectotypified by a specimen at G. A neotype at NAP is proposed for the Gussone’s name Vulneraria heterophylla var. albiflora. As this latter name is applied to a taxon accepted here at specific rank, a new combination is validated. On the contrary, A. heterophylla var. parvula is considered as a new heterotypic synonym of Ant…

Calculus Artefacts in Chinese Textbooks: Variational Approaches with Prospective Primary Teachers

2022

The first part of the paper presents some theoretical reflections and some methodological notes about a Professional Development (PD) path worked out during the last two years by Italian researchers for prospective primary teachers. The theoretical construct of Cultural Transposition defines the framework of the PD path’s activities and the related research. It was used to define an interesting cultural lens to delineate possible new approaches for effective pre-service teacher education programs in particular for the primary level. The defined methodology was based on the possibility to reflect on the he decentralization of didactic practices based on a specific cultural context through on…

Report summarizing the Work Package 4 of the postdoctoral research

2020

The aim of the postdoctoral research programme ‘ARETE school’ was the modernization of general education in Latvian schools, with a focus on character education, by providing research-grounded basis for modelling the ‘Arete school’ programme and scientifically monitoring its piloting and implementation. This report includes information about the organization of the scientific monitoring of the ‘Arete school’ programme, which, following the conclusions of the preliminary research and the recommendations of the mid-term report, was implemented in two steps: 1) scientific monitoring of ‘Arete catalyst’ pilot programme (a teacher training programme for character education); and 2) scientific mo…
