On FE-grid relocation in solving unilateral boundary value problems by FEM
1992
We consider FE-grid optimization in elliptic unilateral boundary value problems. The criterion used in grid optimization is the total potential energy of the system. It is shown that minimization of this cost functional means a decrease of the discretization error or a better approximation of the unilateral boundary conditions, Design sensitivity analysis is given with respect to the movement of nodal points. Numerical results for the Dirichlet-Signorini problem for the Laplace equation and the plane elasticity problem with unilateral boundary conditions are given. In plane elasticity we consider problems with and without friction. peerReviewed
The radio antipodal and radio numbers of the hypercube
2011
International audience; A radio k-labeling of a connected graph G is an assignment f of non negative integers to the vertices of G such that |f(x) − f(y)| \ge k + 1 − d(x, y), for any two vertices x and y, where d(x, y) is the distance between x and y in G. The radio antipodal number is the minimum span of a radio (diam(G) − 1)-labeling of G and the radio number is the minimum span of a radio (diam(G))-labeling of G. In this paper, the radio antipodal number and the radio number of the hypercube are determined by using a generalization of binary Gray codes.
CUDA-BLASTP: Accelerating BLASTP on CUDA-enabled graphics hardware
2011
Scanning protein sequence database is an often repeated task in computational biology and bioinformatics. However, scanning large protein databases, such as GenBank, with popular tools such as BLASTP requires long runtimes on sequential architectures. Due to the continuing rapid growth of sequence databases, there is a high demand to accelerate this task. In this paper, we demonstrate how GPUs, powered by the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), can be used as an efficient computational platform to accelerate the BLASTP algorithm. In order to exploit the GPU's capabilities for accelerating BLASTP, we have used a compressed deterministic finite state automaton for hit detection as wel…
Drogas y salud familiar
2000
Las familias son el grupo social sobre quien recaen más directamente las consecuencias negativas de las adicciones de sus miembros. Estas consecuencias no sólo abarcan as¬pectos económicos y sociales, sino que se extienden a los ámbitos de la salud psíquica y física de cada uno de los miembros no drogadictos.En nuestro trabajo, hemos pretendido describir las variaciones en conductas, senti¬mientos, sensaciones, imaginaciones, cogniciones, relaciones interpersonales y salud (si¬guiendo el modelo BASIC.ID de A.A. Lazarus) que han experimentado los padres y madres de heroinómanos a partir del conocimiento de la adicción de sus hijos. Hemos pasado una entrevista semiestructurada, elaborada por …

How Do QR Codes Enhance Customer Experience? : Omnichannel Customer Experiences in a Brick-and-Mortar Fashion Store
2023
In this qualitative study, we investigate how customers perceive QR codes enhancing their customer experience (CX) in the brick-and-mortar (B&M) store environment. Introducing QR codes to B&M stores is a part of the larger phenomenon of retailers creating omnichannel CXs by utilizing digital and cyber-physical elements in B&M stores. To collect data from real customers’ CXs, we displayed QR codes in a Finnish fashion brand’s B&M store and interviewed customers who had authentically visited the store. The QR codes displayed in the store were linked to a product information page on the brand’s online store, a brand ambassador’s Instagram posts, and an online survey. The data consist of 15 ind…
Customers’ QR Code Usage Barriers in a Brick-and-Mortar Store : A Qualitative Study
2023
The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that hinder customers from utilizing QR codes when they visit brick-and-mortar (B&M) stores. The research was conducted at a Finnish fashion retailer, where three types of QR codes were displayed for customers to use. In order to identify the barriers that customers face, two different sets of data were collected and analyzed: open-ended survey data (n = 101) and interview data (n = 16). The findings showed two main categories of barriers,customer and company related, with seven sub-barriers. The customer-related barriers included lack of interest in QR codes, user-related usage issues, desire for a device-free B&M store, and dislike towar…
Helping lecturers address and formulate teaching challenges: an exploratory study
2018
International audience; In this paper we present an exploratory study on the kind of questions or difficulties lecturers point out at the beginning of an educational course – to be addressed in it. These questions happen to be very general and are poorly connected to the knowledge to be taught. We suggest a twofold interpretation of this phenomenon. On the one hand, and in the line of the didactic transposition theory, teachers do not allow themselves to raise questions about the knowledge that is supposed to be their main field of expertise. On the other hand, the prevailing institutional pedagogy does not provide teachers with a fruitful enough conceptual frame to formulate this kind of q…
Multilingualism in the Banat : A Focus on Intellectual Perspectives through the Analysis of Literary Works
2022
The Banat has been one of Europe’s most multilingual regions since the 18th century. From the 19th century European intellectuals have been engaged in building nations, which has resulted in the marginalization of multilingualism in many forms. The monolingual literary novel has been described as one of the important instruments in this process. Phenomena remaining resistant to this idea are brought into focus through the analysis of multilingualism in four novels written by authors from the Banat. In this manner, the chances of multilingualism in the context of national cultures and intellectuals are examined. As a conclusion, it is argued that the multiplicity of languages in literature p…
