Benchmarking open data efforts through indices and rankings: Assessing development and contexts of use
2022
Abstract This paper aims to provide a broad perspective on the development of benchmarking open data efforts through indices and rankings over the years, both at the level of countries and allowing for a cross-country comparison. The methodology follows a systematic search for the relevant resources, their classification and identification of six open data benchmarks to be further analyzed, the identification of their key components through decomposition, their description, and identifying the similarities and differences. Three major groups of indices and four periods that characterize the efforts to benchmark and measure the development of open data are identified, where the first measure…
XPL, a Presentation Language based on User Interface Design Pattern
2007
The great diversity of presentations in software applications deals with fulfillment of various type of graphic interface constructions related to different programming Languages. Moreover, in the Internet era html pages play a main role because of the increasing complexity of Web applications. In Software Engineering, the use of design patterns is proven remarkable for the design and reuse of software components. Visual Design. Patterns (ViDP) are useful to define interaction schemas between. user and computer. By the some token, visual design. patterns are useful to incorporate common interfaces of interaction, schemas between user and computer. This paper describes the eXtensible Present…
The Lecture-Performance: Implementing Performative Pedagogy in Literature Class
2020
In recent years the performative has gained importance within the pedagogical field and has opened new perspectives in educational research. Experience has shown that the integration of performative elements in the learning process allow teachers to involve learners emotionally and cognitively. The present paper deals with a learning experience performed with students in the course “German Literature (2nd language)” at the University of Valencia. From the perspective of Performative Pedagogy, students are asked to carry out a research project and then transfer the acquired knowledge to the theatrical format that must be didactic: a Lecture-Performance. This activity highlights the benefits …
Magnetic resonance imaging of the siliceous skeleton of the demosponge Lubomirskia baicalensis
2005
The skeletal elements (spicules) of the demosponge Lubomirskia baicalensis were analyzed; they are composed of amorphous, non-crystalline silica, and contain in a central axial canal the axial filament which consists of the enzyme silicatein. The axial filament, that orients the spicule in its longitudinal axis exists also in the center of the spines which decorate the spicule. During growth of the sponge, new serially arranged modules which are formed from longitudinally arranged spicule bundles are added at the tip of the branches. X-ray analysis revealed that these serial modules are separated from each other by septate zones (annuli). We describe that the longitudinal bundles of spicule…
Developing the "next generation" of genetic association databases for complex diseases
2012
Tens of thousands of genetic association studies investigating the influence of common polymorphisms on disease susceptibility have been published to date. These include similar to 1,000 genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This vast amount of data in the field of complex genetics is becoming increasingly difficult to follow and interpret. It can be expected that the situation will become even more complex with the advent of association projects using next-generation technologies. One of the aims of the Human Variome Project is to concatenate such data in meaningful ways, for example, within the context of publicly available field synopses. Here, we present various examples of online gen…
Fuzzy Metric Approach to Aggregation of Risk Levels
2019
In this paper we propose a special construction of a general aggregation operator. The construction allows to aggregate fuzzy sets taking into account the distance between elements of the universe. We consider the case when fuzzy sets to be aggregated represent the risk level evaluation by several experts. We describe how the proposed construction could be applied for risk level assessment in the case when a strong fuzzy metric is used to characterize the similarity of objects under evaluation.
Does size matter? Entrepreneurial orientation and performance in Spanish sports clubs
2021
Despite its importance, entrepreneurship in organizations has not been widely addressed in the sports association sector (sports clubs). In this context, this study analyses the relationships of en...
Optimal placement of 3D sensors considering range and field of view
2017
This paper describes a novel approach to the problem of optimal placement of 3D sensors in a specified volume of interest. The coverage area of the sensors is modelled as a cone having limited field of view and range. The volume of interest is divided into many, smaller cubes each having a set of associated Boolean and continuous variables. The proposed method could be easily extended to handle the case where certain sub-volumes must be covered by several sensors (redundancy), for example ex-zones, regions where humans are not allowed to enter or regions where machine movement may obstruct the view of a single sensor. The optimisation problem is formulated as a Mixed-Integer Linear Program …
Weyl Asymptotics and Random Perturbations in a One-Dimensional Semi-classical Case
2019
We consider a simple model operator P in dimension 1 and show how random perturbations give rise to Weyl asymptotics in the interior of the range of P. We follow rather closely the work of Hager (Ann Henri Poincare 7(6):1035–1064, 2006) with some input also from Bordeaux Montrieux (Loi de Weyl presque sureet resolvante pour des operateurs differentiels nonautoadjoints, these, CMLS, Ecole Polytechnique, 2008) and Hager–Sjostrand (Math Ann 342(1):177–243, 2008). Some of the general ideas appear perhaps more clearly in this special situation.
