ON SOME GENERALIZATION OF SMOOTHING PROBLEMS
2015
The paper deals with the generalized smoothing problem in abstract Hilbert spaces. This generalized problem involves particular cases such as the interpolating problem, the smoothing problem with weights, the smoothing problem with obstacles, the problem on splines in convex sets and others. The theorem on the existence and characterization of a solution of the generalized problem is proved. It is shown how the theorem gives already known theorems in special cases as well as some new results.
Chasing writers’ ghosts through a modern city : Augmenting urban space with literary connections during the Tove Jansson walk in Helsinki
2019
The article employs the theme of a literary walk (Watson 2009), a practice of encountering places with literary associations on foot. Urban areas present especially suitable settings for such themed walks, as cities can have multiple literary connections, and literary places are located within a short distance from one another. In this paper, I focus on the sites associated with Tove Jansson (1914– 2001), a Finnish-Swedish artist and writer, internationally known for her books about the Moomins. The study utilises an autoethnographic approach and draws on observations at the sites with connections to Jansson in Helsinki, organised spatially into a walk around the city. I analyse how urban s…
Analysis and synthesis with a three-component inferential system : Augmenting the explanatory scope of Conceptual Spaces
2017
The study introduces a model of analysis and synthesis, respective abductive and deductive reasoning, using the three-component inferential system, which is constituted by a perspective-relative augmentation of Gärdenfors’s theory of Conceptual Spaces (CS). A general formulation of Perspective, based on our earlier work, corresponds to prioritization among property dimensions. Instead of assuming one conceptual space as in the CS, a distinction is made between the high-dimensional description of the discourse/domain termed Ontospace, and the two-dimensional perspectival space onto which a Perspectiverelative hierarchical conceptualization is projected, referred to as the Perspectival Space.…
Knowledge of managerial competencies: cross-cultural analysis between American and European students
2019
This paper reports on the differences of managerial competencies among MBA students from American and European business schools. The results of this research suggest that there are certain differences of not only nationality but also gender. The study also points out the need for different managerial competency profiles to better assess MBA students looking for future career development. The results of this study indicate that there is a difference at the national level between assessed managerial competencies of American and European MBA students that can be attributed to cultural factors. This conclusion confirms the findings of Chong (2008) and Akinola, Martin, and Phillips (2018). Secon…
Association of Arthroscopically-Assisted Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer with Implantation of a Subacromial Balloon Spacer for Patients with Irrepar…
2022
Purpose. Massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in an active population, resulting in a pseudo-paralytic shoulder, pose a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. In an effort to avoid or delay arthroplasty surgery, other surgical strategies such as arthroscopically-assisted latissimus dorsi transfer (aLDT) or the implantation of a subacromial spacer (SAS) can be considered. The aim of the present study is to associate, for the first time, these two surgical procedures in order to demonstrate the surgical feasibility and the effectiveness of their synergistic biomechanical effect. Methods. The study group consisted of patients who underwent aLDT for a massive irreparable poste…
Făgăraș as Jerusalem? Interethnic and interreligious ethos in Transylvania
2017
The study presents Transylvania as a space of ethnic-religious tolerance, having as a case studythe image of the town Făgăraș, as depicted in Eginald Schlattner’s novels. This space appearsas one of a heavenly nuance, based on a long tradition of coexistence of the members ofdifferent ethnic groups and religions. However, the inter-war and post-war period means theemergence of new challenges posed by the confrontation with the harmful effects of the twoideologies: Nazism and Communism. In this way, the dramas of the socio-historical contextinterweave with elements forming young Eginald. They will remain a constant in the writer’slife, offering Făgăraș the role of a forming educational array…
Op art et roman virtuel : correspondances entre Escher et Perec
2012
Op art et roman virtuel : correspondances entre Escher et Perec Les structures mathématiques, la notion de réalité comme « humaine illusion », le défi à l’infini et la structure énigmatique qui donne aux œuvres eschériennes la même structure que celle d’un roman policier permettent d’établir des convergences significatives entre le graveur hollandais et Georges Perec. Dans certaines œuvres de Perec, en effet, il est possible de remarquer des références explicites au graveur bien qu’elles constituent la traduction visuelle de l’angoisse du « retour du semblable », du « retour involontaire au même point ». Mais Perec ne se limite pas seulement à citer Escher, puisque certaines de ses œuvres c…
Parametric uncertainty or hydrological changes?
2014
Abstract. The model calibration is the way of hydrologists for searching also a physical interpretation of complex interactions acting within a basin. Actually, it can be frequently noticed how model calibration performed on a given time-window may converge to a point in the parameter space that could be distant from another obtainable calibration of the model in the same basin but considering a different time window. Is that again parametric uncertainty or does the trajectory in the parametric space relate about to a slow hydrological basin change? This paper depicts a possible path for detecting changes' signatures in a streamflow time series. In particular, the paper seeks to draw a way …
Quantitative Prediction of the Landscape of T Cell Epitope Immunogenicity in Sequence Space
2019
Immunodominant T cell epitopes preferentially targeted in multiple individuals are the critical element of successful vaccines and targeted immunotherapies. However, the underlying principles of this "convergence" of adaptive immunity among different individuals remain poorly understood. To quantitatively describe epitope immunogenicity, here we propose a supervised machine learning framework generating probabilistic estimates of immunogenicity, termed "immunogenicity scores," based on the numerical features computed through sequence-based simulation approximating the molecular scanning process of peptides presented onto major histocompatibility complex (MHC) by the human T cell receptor (T…
Semiótica da cidade: corpos, espaços, tecnologias
2015
Resumo:A cidade é feita de espaços, corpos, tecnologias. A semiótica tem estudado há tempos todos estes três fenômenos de significação. Todavia, o estudo semiótico do espaço urbano quase nunca foi articulado pela semiótica dos objetos técnicos, nem pela do corpo. Entrelaçar estes três âmbitos, como este artigo busca fazer, aparece, portanto, como um gesto teórico tão urgente quanto necessário. Nestas páginas analisa-se um velho desenho animado de Walt Disney em que o personagem de Pateta muda radicalmente os próprios programas de ação e paixão, condicionado por estar no espaço urbano, como pedestre ou automobilista. Um ator, dois actantes, e consequentemente, dois espaços de significação di…
