The Power of Word-Frequency Based Alignment-Free Functions: a Comprehensive Large-Scale Experimental Analysis
2021
Abstract Motivation Alignment-free (AF) distance/similarity functions are a key tool for sequence analysis. Experimental studies on real datasets abound and, to some extent, there are also studies regarding their control of false positive rate (Type I error). However, assessment of their power, i.e. their ability to identify true similarity, has been limited to some members of the D2 family. The corresponding experimental studies have concentrated on short sequences, a scenario no longer adequate for current applications, where sequence lengths may vary considerably. Such a State of the Art is methodologically problematic, since information regarding a key feature such as power is either mi…
Completeness number of families of subsets of convergence spaces
2016
International audience; Compactoid and compact families generalize both convergent filters and compact sets. This concept turned out to be useful in various quests, like Scott topologies, triquotient maps and extensions of the Choquet active boundary theorem.The completeness number of a family in a convergence space is the least cardinality of collections of covers for which the family becomes complete. 0-completeness amounts to compactness, finite completeness to relative local compactness and countable completeness to Čech completeness. Countably conditional countable completeness amounts to pseudocompleteness of Oxtoby. Conversely, each completeness class of families can be represented a…
Phenomenological-Semantic Investigations into Incompleteness
2000
When today the phenomenologist surveys the history of the philosophical comprehension of Godel’s theorems, he is confronted with the realization that the decisive publications come almost exclusively from the sphere of analytic philosophy.1 But does phenomenology in the spirit of Husserl not mean to keep in step with the epochal results of the special sciences by working on the phenomenological understanding of them? Phenomenological research of this kind means the same as development of phenomenological theory of science (Wissenschaftstheorie). In connection with the incompleteness theorems, the latter would be confronted with fundamental questions such as, “To what extent can mathematical…
Predictive models in assessment of macroinvertebrates in boreal rivers
2009
Jukka Aroviita tutki väitöskirjassaan jokien ja purojen biologisen tilan mittaamismenetelmiä. Aroviita osoitti, että ihmistoiminnan aiheuttamat biologiset muutokset voivat jäädä havaitsematta, jos eliöyhteisöjen luonnollista taustavaihtelua ei oteta kunnolla huomioon.- Tällöin vesistöjen saatetaan arvioida olevan paremmassa kunnossa kuin ne todellisuudessa ovatkaan. Muutosten tunnistamistarkkuuden tulisi olla mahdollisimman hyvä, sillä tila-arvioilla on myös juridisesti määräytyviä yhteiskunnallisia ja taloudellisia seuraamuksia, Aroviita toteaa. Vielä 1990-luvulla järvien ja jokien tilaa arvioitiin suurelta osin ihmisen näkökulmasta ja veden kemian perusteella. Nykylainsäädäntö edellyttää …
Scattering resonances and Pseudospectrum : stability and completeness aspects in optical and gravitational systems
2022
The general context of this thesis is an effort to establish a bridge between gravitational andoptical physics, specifically in the context of scattering problems using as a guideline concepts andtools taken from the theory of non-self-adjoint operators. Our focus is on Quasi-Normal Modes(QNMs), namely the natural resonant modes of open leaky structures under linear perturbationssubject to outgoing boundary conditions. They also are referred to as scattering resonances.In the conservative self-adjoint case the spectral theorem guarantees the completeness andspectral stability of the associated normal modes. In this sense, a natural question in the non-self-adjoint setting refers to the char…
A note on best approximation in 0-complete partial metric spaces
2014
We study the existence and uniqueness of best proximity points in the setting of 0-complete partial metric spaces. We get our results by showing that the generalizations, which we have to consider, are obtained from the corresponding results in metric spaces. We introduce some new concepts and consider significant theorems to support this fact.
THE MAXWELL–DIRAC EQUATIONS: ASYMPTOTIC COMPLETENESS AND THE INFRARED PROBLEM
1994
In this article we present an announcement of results concerning: a) A solution to the Cauchy problem for the M-D equations, namely global existence, for small initial data at t = 0, of solutions for the M-D equations. b) Arguments from which asymptotic completeness for the M-D equations follows. c) Cohomological interpretation of the results in the spirit of nonlinear representation theory and its connection to the infrared tail of the electron in M-D classical field theory. The full detailed results will be published elsewhere.

Logic, Computing and Biology
2015
Logic and Computing are appropriate formal languages for Biology, and we may well be surprised by the strong analogy between software and DNA, and between hardware and the protein machinery of the cell. This chapter examines to what extent any biological entity can be described by an algorithm and, therefore, whether the Turing machine and the halting problem concepts apply. Last of all, I introduce the concepts of recursion and algorithmic complexity, both from the field of computer science, which can help us understand and conceptualise biological complexity.
¿Qué papel juegan la evitación del daño y la sensación de inacabado en los síntomas obsesivos de orden y comprobación?
2020
Numerosas investigaciones han intentado determinar las variables implicadas en la génesis y mantenimiento del Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo (TOC). Recientemente, se han propuesto la evitación del daño y la sensación de inacabado como dos dimensiones nucleares motivadoras de la sintomatología obsesivo-compulsiva. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el papel de la evitación del daño y la sensación de inacabado en su relación con los síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos. Para ello, se realizó un Path analysis en una muestra de 267 personas de la población general (74,5% mujeres; edad media 27,29 años). Los resultados mostraron que la asociación entre evitación del daño y los síntomas de orden y …
