Exploiting Data Analytics and Deep Learning Systems to Support Pavement Maintenance Decisions
2021
Road networks are critical infrastructures within any region and it is imperative to maintain their conditions for safe and effective movement of goods and services. Road Management, therefore, plays a key role to ensure consistent efficient operation. However, significant resources are required to perform necessary maintenance activities to achieve and maintain high levels of service. Pavement maintenance can typically be very expensive and decisions are needed concerning planning and prioritizing interventions. Data are key towards enabling adequate maintenance planning but in many instances, there is limited available information especially in small or under-resourced urban road authorit…
Financial Stress and Basis in Energy Markets
2021
We investigate the relationship between energy commodities bases, inventory and financial stress from 1994 to 2018. We find that, from the 1998 Asian crisis the effect of financial stress on energy commodities bases gradually increased and from the 2008 crisis became positive, while the effect of inventory showed a gradual decline over time. The reactions of bases to changes in financial stress is nonlinear, as they are higher in the high financial stress periods. This is more profound in crude oil market than heating oil and natural gas. Moreover, the reactions of bases to the changes in inventory is nonlinear, as the reactions are lower when the inventory level is high confirming the theo…
Innowacyjne kształcenie artystyczno - pedagogiczne nauczycieli szkoły podstawowej
2015
The article deals with the problem of the artistic and p edagogical training of the primary school teachers in the modernization of educational system in Ukraine and integration into the global educational community. A scientific explanation of the functional-content features of the artistic and educational activities is argued, the original interpretation of the content and the forms of classes is provided, the pedagogical conditions and the ways of optimization of the artistic and pedagogical training are revealed.
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…
Iodine(I) and Silver(I) Complexes of Benzoimidazole and Pyridylcarbazole Derivatives
2021
The synthesis of iodine(I) complexes with either benzoimidazole or carbazole-derived sp 2 N -containing Lewis bases is described, as well as their corresponding silver(I) complexes. The addition of elemental iodine to the linear two-coordinate Ag(I) complexes produces iodine(I) complexes with a three-center four-electron (3c-4e) [N — I — N] + bond. The 1 H and 1 H- 15 N HMBC NMR studies unambiguously confirm the formation of the complexes in all cases via the [N — Ag — N] + → [N — I — N] + cation exchange, with the 15 N NMR chemical shift change between 94 to 111 ppm when compared to the free ligand. The single crystal X-ray crystallographic studies on four I + complexes revealed highly sym…
La investigación bibliométrica en historia de la educación. Situación actual, desarrollo de bases de datos específicas y propuestas desde la intelige…
2023
La presente tesis parte de la cuestión de si es posible analizar cuantitativamente la complejidad contenida en las investigaciones en Historia de la Educación. Para responderla, el trabajo de investigación ha realizado un recorrido que ha partido, en primer lugar, de la cienciometría, sus orígenes, evolución y problemáticas. Posteriormente se han identificado las particularidades que tienen las investigaciones en el campo, como son las temáticas y las épocas estudiadas, y que quedan al margen de la información bibliográfica contenida en los registros de las bases de datos generalistas. Esto ha llevado a otra dificultad: ¿cómo se pueden almacenar estos datos específicos junto con la informac…

Relationship between authors’ keywords in journal papers and indexing terms in databases ISOC, IME and ICYT
2005
The keywords provided by authors in their scientific articles and the descriptors assigned to those articles in various databases are analysed to find out the role played by these keywords during the indexing process. In order to do that, 108 periodical publications proportionally distributed between Social Sciences and Humanities (36 journals), Science and Technology (36) and Medical and Health Sciences (36) were selected. Ten articles were selected from each of the 108 journals from different years, so that we worked altogether on 1080 articles meeting two conditions: including keywords and being indexed in the databases ISOC, ICYT or IME. Then, we proceeded to draw a comparison between t…
Acidic Co-Catalysts in Cationic Gold Catalysis.
2016
A systematic study on the effects of Lewis or Bronsted acid co-catalysts in gold-catalyzed reactions was undertaken using representative reactions (O-, N-, and C-nucleophilic additions to alkynes). Through these reactions, it was demonstrated that an acidic co-catalyst can increase the catalyst turnover significantly, enabling practical reaction rates at competitive catalyst loadings (<1 mol %). Further investigation is currently underway to improve the understanding of the subtle principles underlying these experimental observations.
A DFT study of the Diels–Alder reaction between methyl acrolein derivatives and cyclopentadiene. Understanding the effects of Lewis acids catalysts b…
2006
Abstract The effects of Lewis acid catalysts based on sulfur containing boron heterocycles on the Diels–Alder reactions of two methyl acroleins with cyclopentadiene have been studied using DFT methods. These reactions take place along highly asynchronous concerted processes. While the reaction with crotonaldehyde leads to the expected endo adduct, the reaction with methacrolein leads to exo one in agreement with the experiments. The catalytic effect can be explained through the analysis of the electrophilicity index (ω) of the reagents, and the molecular structure of the corresponding transition structures.
