Continuum: A spatiotemporal data model to represent and qualify filiation relationships
2013
International audience; This work introduces an ontology-based spatio-temporal data model to represent entities evolving in space and time. A dynamic phenomenon generates a complex relationship network between the entities involved in the process. At the abstract level, the relationships can be identity or topological filiations. The existence of an identity filiation depends on whether the object changes its identity or not. On the other hand, topological filiations are based exclusively on the spatial component, like in the case of growth, reduction, merging or splitting. When combining identity and topological filiations, six filiation relationships are obtained, forming a second abstrac…

Methods for territorial intelligence
2006
Quantitative methods which are used by social sciences for thirty years can provide tools to help territorial actors better managing their territories. This short paper outlines an inventory of the kinds of methods that are usable within this framework.
Joint second-order parameter estimation for spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox processes
2018
We propose a new fitting method to estimate the set of second-order parameters for the class of homogeneous spatio-temporal log-Gaussian Cox point processes. With simulations, we show that the proposed minimum contrast procedure, based on the spatio-temporal pair correlation function, provides reliable estimates and we compare the results with the current available methods. Moreover, the proposed method can be used in the case of both separable and non-separable parametric specifications of the correlation function of the underlying Gaussian Random Field. We describe earthquake sequences comparing several Cox model specifications.
Stāstu izmantošana runāšanas prasmju attīstīšanā
2015
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Stāstu izmantošana runāšanas prasmju attīstīšanā” Darbs veltīts mācīšanas metodēm un aktivitātēm, kas ar stāstījumu palīdzību veicina runāšanas prasmju attīstību. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai skolēni ar stāstījumu palīdzību var attīstīt savas runāšanas prasmes. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no divām daļām. Pirmā daļa veltīta teorijas diskusijai, kas sastāv no trim nodaļām. Pirmā nodaļa veltīta diskusijai par valodas attīstību, tās apguvi, kā arī metodēm un veidiem, kā iespējams mācīt valodu skolēniem. Otrā nodaļa attiecas uz runāšanas prasmēm, to mācīšanas un novērtēšanas teoriju izpēti. Savukārt trešā nodaļa veltīta stāstu un stāstījumu izmantošanai angļu valodas kā…
Periodismo especializado y especialización política
2015
En este artículo se revisa la bibliografía sobre periodismo especializado y se analizan los rasgos normalmente aducidos para identificar la especialización periodística, que apuntan por lo general al contenido de los textos: la especificidad temática, el enfoque en profundidad, la metodología de investigación, el recurso a fuentes expertas, la necesidad de formación complementaria a la pro-piamente periodística, la orientación a audiencias segmentadas, el uso de géneros textuales con-cretos, o la adecuación lingüística. La aplicación de estos mismos factores a la especialización políti-ca pone de manifiesto la necesidad de cuestionar los rasgos aducidos y considerar otros criterios en el co…
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey
2012
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey has begun and will obtain high quality spectroscopy of some 100000 Milky Way stars, in the field and in open clusters, down to magnitude 19, systematically covering all the major components of the Milky Way. This survey will provide the first homogeneous overview of the distributions of kinematics and chemical element abundances in the Galaxy. The motivation, organisation and implementation of the Gaia-ESO Survey are described, emphasising the complementarity with the ESA Gaia mission. Spectra from the very first observing run of the survey are presented.
Characterization of a CZT focal plane small prototype for hard X-ray telescope
2005
The promise of good energy and spatial resolution coupled with high efficiency and room temperature operation has fuelled a large international effort to develop cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) for hard X-ray applications. We are involved on the development of a hard X-ray telescope based on multilayer optics and focal plane detector operative in the 10-80 keV energy range. This telescope requires a high efficiency focal plane providing both fine spatial resolution and spectroscopy with a compact and robust design. This paper reports preliminary results on the characterization both in spectroscopic and spatial response of two small pixellated CZT detectors (10times10times1 mm3 and 10times10tim…
Optical Monitoring of Microplastics Filtrated from Wastewater Sludge and Suspended in Ethanol.
2021
The abundance of microplastics (MPs) in the atmosphere, on land, and especially in water bodies is well acknowledged. In this study, we establish an optical method based on three different techniques, namely, specular reflection to probe the medium, transmission spectroscopy measurements for the detection and identification, and a speckle pattern for monitoring the sedimentation of MPs filtrated from wastewater sludge and suspended in ethanol. We used first Raman measurements to estimate the presence and types of different MPs in wastewater sludge samples. We also used microscopy to identify the shapes of the main MPs. This allowed us to create a teaching set of samples to be characterized …
Technical, tactical and spatial indicators related to goal scoring in European elite soccer
2020
The aim of this study was to describe the technical, tactical and spatial indicators related to goal scoring in elite European soccer, considering the type of defence and the positioning of the opponent. For the analysis, 8 tactical dimensions related to the final actions in 380 sequences that led to goal during the UEFA Champions League were evaluated by observational methodology. 75.9% of the goals were scored from open play and 24.1% were scored from set pieces. Collective actions produced 51.6% of the total goals while individual actions produced 10.5% of goals. Regarding the penultimate action, crosses were more frequent against organized defences, while passes in behind the defence, o…
