Calculation of voltammetric peaks by the transformed Heyrovsky-Ilkovi? equation
1990
Calculating real polarographic or voltammetric peaks is rather difficult. A new possibility to compute such peaks is the use of the transformed Heyrovsky-Ilkovic equation. The calculation allows to simulate polarograms or voltammograms by computer. Furthermore, it is possible to smooth voltammetric peaks without loss of peak height or separation of overlapping peaks.
Motivations behind citizen aid: Norwegian initiatives in The Gambia
2019
Little is known about citizen aid initiatives originating in Norway, and they are not recognised as part of the official Norwegian development aid. Citizen aid initiatives are personal and small, a...
Vingt ans de réformes des systèmes éducatifs dans les pays en développement
2005
La situation politique, économique et sociale des pays en développement est difficile alors que pratiquement tous, depuis maintenant plus de vingt ans, ont mis en œuvre des réformes très importantes élaborées en fonction des plans d'ajustement structurel initiés par le FMI, et financées par des projets soutenus par les grands bailleurs de fonds internationaux (multilatéraux ou bilatéraux). Panvi ces pays, cinquante et un ont été identifiés par la Banque mondiale comme présentant un niveau de développement tellement faible, associé à un taux d'endettement tellement élevé, qu'ils sont susceptibles de bénéficier de l'initiative dite PPTE (Pays Pauvres Très Endettés). L'objectif prioritaire de …

Incentives, criminal defence lawyers and plea bargaining
2008
Plea bargaining has become a central feature of criminal procedure in Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions. This paper explores an area seldom discussed in the economic literature on plea bargaining: the influence of the defence lawyer's fee contract on the terms of the bargain. In particular, it uses data from one jurisdiction of the impact on case trajectories of changes in publicly funded defence lawyers’ contracts to test the proposition that the nature of the lawyer's contract influences how cases are managed. An event study methodology on a pooled time-series cross-section data set of case trajectories before and after the change in the nature of the contract is used to examine whether the new p…
Negotiation mechanisms for capacity allocation in distributed enterprises
2003
Abstract The paper proposes an agent based approach for the capacity allocation in distributed enterprises, characterized by complex and articulated organizations and by geographically distributed production capacities contended by many product families. In such a scenario the process of allocating the production capacity to the single customer order is one the major bottlenecks of the production planning activity as far as many organizational decisional levels are involved and market turbulence implies a continuous retuning of the capacity allocation plan. A high grade of reactiveness is needed. Agent based approaches and negotiation models, by decentralizing the decisional control and sim…
Aims vs. technology: Pedagogical view to the use of educational applications in safety critical contexts
2011
Interactive technology for education has formed into a relatively independent domain of research and development. Interactive technology is often seen as a context independent tool. However, we argue that education in different contexts may have so different and incommensurable aims that no single technology can be announced as good or bad per se in terms of learning. The development of educational application should not be based on the technology to be applied, but by careful analysis of learning aims. When formulated in an appropriate way, learning aims work as a relevant basis in all stages of the design process of an educational application. The formulation of aims is therefore critical…
Sérologie discordante du VIH/sida et vie des couples en République du Congo : profil sociodémographique, comportements, facteurs de survie et prise e…
2020
For more than two decades, the health of populations has been at the heart of developmental issues. Population health issues fall within the "health, population and development" paradigm. It is in this spirit that experts demonstrated at the 1994 Cairo Conference on Population and Development that HIV/AIDS affects both population growth and sustainable development. Likewise, HIV infection is a source of discrimination, social inequalities, and the weakening of couples and families to the point where some individuals are even ostracized because of their HIV-positive status. In these conditions, how do people of different serological status live their married lives and their procreation despi…
Supporting public decision process in buildings energy retrofitting operations: the application of a Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding model to a cas…
2020
Abstract The challenge of promoting sustainable cities and reaching the objectives developed by the European Green Deal includes the renovation of the building sector, as it is responsible for 40% of energy consumption in Europe. Regional or local public administrations have to allocate their financial resources for improving the energy performances of their building stock and to face a multidimensional problem, where different aspects – such as energy efficiency, financial-economic feasibility and environmental protection – have to be harmonized. The present study proposes a Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding model, which includes the ELECTRE TRI-nC method, for supporting the public decisio…
