Turing pattern formation in the Brusselator system with nonlinear diffusion.
2013
In this work we investigate the effect of density dependent nonlinear diffusion on pattern formation in the Brusselator system. Through linear stability analysis of the basic solution we determine the Turing and the oscillatory instability boundaries. A comparison with the classical linear diffusion shows how nonlinear diffusion favors the occurrence of Turing pattern formation. We study the process of pattern formation both in 1D and 2D spatial domains. Through a weakly nonlinear multiple scales analysis we derive the equations for the amplitude of the stationary patterns. The analysis of the amplitude equations shows the occurrence of a number of different phenomena, including stable supe…
A new approach for critical resources allocation
2009
This paper presents a solution based on Artificial Intelligence using Multi-objective Genetic Algorithms to optimize the allocation of teachers and classrooms. The implementation was created in order to optimize the process in both cases, allowing them to compete so as to establish a balance and arrive at a feasible solution quickly and efficiently.
Dynamic Coalitional TU Games: Distributed Bargaining among Players' Neighbors
2013
We consider a sequence of transferable utility (TU) games where, at each time, the characteristic function is a random vector with realizations restricted to some set of values. The game differs from other ones in the literature on dynamic, stochastic or interval valued TU games as it combines dynamics of the game with an allocation protocol for the players that dynamically interact with each other. The protocol is an iterative and decentralized algorithm that offers a paradigmatic mathematical description of negotiation and bargaining processes. The first part of the paper contributes to the definition of a robust (coalitional) TU game and the development of a distributed bargaining protoc…

La location de l'usage : une interprétation écoresponsable du service ? : cas des biens en partage
2013
Offers of sharing services are springing up in cities: Vélib’, Autolib’, carsharing.... Using up involves sharing the service with multiple users and agreeing to separate oneself from all materialism in favor of functionality. This is also an argument towards a more responsible consumption. Hiring or buying, what does the consumer think about it? The value lies in the benefits of use rather than in its possession. It is also a new meaningful experience accepted, tinkered, refused or reinterpreted by the consumers. According to the Grounded Theory principles, a data collection based on life stories, it provides us new information on the attractiveness of this offer of service; and according …
Sejas un žokļu traumas Paula Stradiņa Klīniskajā Universitātes slimnīcā
2020
Sejas un žokļu traumu ietekme uz hospitalizācijas ilgumu un neiroloģisko simptomātiku Paula Stradiņā Klīniskajā Universitātes slimnīcā. Viena no plašākajām traumu kategorijām, kas tieši pieder pie jebkuras valsts galvenajām sociālekonomiskajām problēmām un skar visus pasaules iedzīvotāju slāņus, un ir galvaskausa, sejas un apakšžokļu traumas. Sejas traumas ir bieži izplatītas, jo seja ir visatklātākā un neaizsargātākā ķermeņa daļa ar nelielu aizsargpārklājumu. Mutes dobuma un augšžokļa sejas traumas, papildus sejas estētikai, ietekmē tādas funkcijas kā elpošana, košļāšanas, rīšanas un runas funkcijas. Darba mērķi: noskaidrot FISS skalas ietekmi uz pareģojošo pacientu hospitalizācijas ilgumu…
Tulkošanas kvalitātes vērtēšanas platforma
2022
Mašīntulkošanas modeļa izstrādē ir svarīgi noteikt, vai jaunizstrādātais modelis ir labāks par iepriekšējo versiju. Visprecīzākais veids, kā to noteikt, ir ļaut cilvēkvērtētājiem vērtēt katra modeļa tulkošanas kvalitāti, bet cilvēkvērtēšana ir dārgs un laikietilpīgs process, tāpēc šī novērtēšana ir jāveic pēc iespējas efektīvi. Kvalifikācijas darba mērķis ir izstrādāt māšīntulkošanas kvalitātes vērtēšanas platformu, kas ļautu efektīvi un ātri cilvēkvērtētājiem novērtēt mašīntulka tulkotos teikumus un ar šīs informācijas palīdzību uzlabot mašīntulkošanas kvalitāti. Izstrādātā platforma ļauj pārvaldīt novērtēšanas kopas, veikt tiešo cilvēkvērtēšanu, analizēt, un eksportēt rezultātus. Izstrādā…
The effect of meal size on the rate of gastric evacuation of burbot, Lota lota (L.)
1999
– The effect of meal size on the gastric evacuation rate of burbot Lota lota (L.), was determined at a constant temperature of 1.5°C. Burbot were fed vendace Coregonus albula (L.), in varying amounts from 1.0% to 12.6% of burbot weight. Although gastric evacuation rate decreased exponentially with increasing meal size, the absolute amount of food evacuated per day (g. day−1 increased when meal size increased. The estimated maximum daily gastric evacuation rates were 0.8, 1.3 and 1.6 g/day with meal sizes 1%, 5% and 10% of burbot weight (200 g). No difference in gastric evacuation rate was observed between meals of the same size (8 g) but which consisted of either one or three vendace.
The effect of intermittent feeding on feed intake and compensatory growth of whitefish Coregonus lavaretus L.
2009
Abstract Groups of juvenile whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus , were exposed for 6 weeks to three different feeding regimes: control (fed every day); 2 + 5 (fed during weekdays); and 2 + 2 (fed 2 days, starved 2 days). The fish in the 2 + 2 group ate and grew less than the controls but the 2 + 5 group was intermediate and did not differ statistically significantly from either of the other two groups. The fish in both treatment groups exhibited clear compensation for the reduced number of feeding days by increasing intake and consequently weight gain during the days when they were fed, and the compensation increased towards the end of the experiment. Feeding treatments induced clear changes in …
