A gearbox model for processing large volumes of data by using pipeline systems encapsulated into virtual containers
2020
Software pipelines enable organizations to chain applications for adding value to contents (e.g., confidentially, reliability, and integrity) before either sharing them with partners or sending them to the cloud. However, the pipeline components add overhead when processing large volumes of data, which can become critical in real-world scenarios. This paper presents a gearbox model for processing large volumes of data by using pipeline systems encapsulated into virtual containers. In this model, the gears represent applications, whereas gearboxes represent software pipelines. This model was implemented as a collaborative system that automatically performs Gear up (by using parallel patterns…
Computable majorants of the limit load in Hencky’s plasticity problems
2018
Abstract We propose a new method for analyzing the limit (safe) load of elastoplastic media governed by the Hencky plasticity law and deduce fully computable bounds of this load. The main idea of the method is based on a combination of kinematic approach and new estimates of the distance to the set of divergence free fields. We show that two sided bounds of the limit load are sharp and the computational efficiency of the method is confirmed by numerical experiments.
Traditional or structured abstract, or how to persuade the reader
2018
This paper studies the abstract, both traditional and structured, in order to assess its persuasive content through its five information units, as well as the presence of additional information in the Methods unit, in order to determine the abstract pattern that best persuades the reader. The research is based on a corpus of 320 abstracts from Spanish Nursing journals. Among the most significant results, abstract structure variability is highlighted. Also significant is the increase of information provided by structured abstracts, although an increase in size is also observed. From these results we can conclude that it is necessary to unify criteria for a better writing of abstracts, with c…
Le giuste operazioni
2019
The relationship between abstract art and architecture is briefly commented as against the research work of Lorenzo Degli Esposti's book Operazioni in arte ed in architettura. especially the conceptual work of Sol LeWitt, and Smythson is focused commenting upon its use in architectural design and namely in compositional methods.

El peligro como elemento vertebrador de los delitos contra la seguridad vial
2019
La presente tesis doctoral tiene por objeto el estudio del elemento del peligro como vertebrador de algunos delitos contra la seguridad vial, concretamente los recogidos en los artículos 379 a 382 del Capítulo IV del Título XVII del CP, que es además pieza diferencial de los ilícitos administrativos comprendidos en los artículos 75 y siguientes del RDL 6/2015. Los delitos contra la seguridad vial pueden ser definidos como el conjunto de infracciones, caracterizadas por la creación un riesgo para los bienes jurídicos de una doble tipología, difuso e individual. El primero de los peligros que tratan de conculcar es de lesión a la seguridad vial -anteriormente denominada seguridad del tráfico-…
La dirigenza pubblica: criteri di identificazione e specialità della disciplina.
Nel tentativo di far luce sui maggiori coni d’ombra che emergono dalla relativa disciplina speciale del rapporto di lavoro, la tesi riflette l’esigenza di un ripensamento sistematico della figura del dirigente pubblico, nell’ottica di prospettare de iure condendo possibili correttivi. A tal fine, sono analizzate le peculiarità ed attribuzioni della dirigenza pubblica, in chiave storico-evolutiva, alla luce dei principi costituzionali e del processo riformatore che ha contrassegnato la magmatica materia, a tutt’oggi in atto. E’, altresì, rivolto uno sguardo comparativistico alla disciplina del personal directivo español, rivelandosi la stessa, speculare a quella del dirigente italiano quanto…
On the spatial spread of a pattern
1980
A simple process is considered for the spread of a pattern in a spatially distributed population. Expressions are given for the stochastic means, variances and covariances. Central limit theorems are obtained for the number of individuals that have the pattern, and the time needed for the pattern to reach the n-th subpopulation.
Modeling of female human body shapes for apparel design based on cross mean sets
2014
This paper is concerned with a method to build prototypes of human bodies that can be used for apparel design. One of the most important issues in the apparel development process is to define a sizing system to provide a good fitting for the majority of the population. Since anthropometric measures do not present the same linear growth with size in each dimension, it is very important to find a prototype that represents as accurately as possible each class in the sizing system. In this paper we propose a method based on the concept of random compact mean set to define prototypes in apparel design. From a cloud of 3D points obtained with a 3D scanner a solid that represents the human body is…
On determining unknown functions in differential systems, with an application to biological reactors.
2003
In this paper, we consider general nonlinear systems with observations, containing a (single) unknown function φ . We study the possibility to learn about this unknown function via the observations: if it is possible to determine the [values of the] unknown function from any experiment [on the set of states visited during the experiment], and for any arbitrary input function, on any time interval, we say that the system is “identifiable”. For systems without controls, we give a more or less complete picture of what happens for this identifiability property. This picture is very similar to the picture of the “observation theory” in [7]: Contrarily to the case of the observability property, i…
