Zabójstwo Wincentego Aleksandra Gosiewskiego w relacjach dyplomatów francuskich

2020

29 listopada 1662 r. zastrzelony został hetman polny litewski i jednocześnie podskarbi wielki litewski Wincenty Aleksander Korwin Gosiewski. Był on członkiem partii francuskiej i politycznie związał się z królową Ludwiką Marią Gonzagą. Z tego też powodu popierał plany elekcji vivente rege. Zbrodni dokonali skonfederowani żołnierze litewscy pod dowództwem Konstantego Kotowskiego, choć obwiniano o to hetmana wielkiego litewskiego Pawła Jana Sapiehę, który jako przeciwnik polityczny Gosiewskiego miał rzekomo inspirować wojskowych do popełnienia zbrodni. W związku z funkcjonowaniem Wincentego Aleksandra w profrancuskim ugrupowaniu politycznym interesujące będzie, jak dyplomaci Ludwika XIV relac…

Penalized logistic regression for small or sparse data: interval estimators revisited

2015

This paper focuses on interval estimation in logistic regression models fitted through the Firth penalized log-likelihood. In this context, many authors have claimed superiority of the Likelihood ratio statistic with respect to the (wrong) Wald statistic via simulation evidence. We re-assess such findings by detailing the inferential tools also including in the comparisons the (right) Wald statistic and other statistics neglected in previous literature. In particular, we assess performances of the CIs estimators by simulation and compare them in a real data set. Differently from previous findings, the Likelihood ratio statistic does not appear to be the best inferential device in Firth pena…

Imaging of Located Buried Defects in Metal Samples by an Scanning Microwave Microscopy

2011

Abstract A non-destructive method is proposed to detect the located buried defects using scanning microwave microscopy. Based on the “skin effect”, our recent developments authorize 3D tomography with nanometric resolution. This technique associates the electromagnetic microwave measurement using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) with the nanometer-resolution positioning capabilities of an Atomic Force Microscope. At each used frequency, an incident electromagnetic wave is send to the sample and the reflected wave gives information on a specific depth layer in the material. With a large bandwidth of frequencies, a 3D tomography is allowed inside the material. With characteristic tools of nano…

Dissemination protocol for Heterogeneous Cooperative Vehicular Networks

2012

International audience; The difficulties associated with network connectivity, unreliable channels, and city environment characteristics make data dissemination task in vehicular urban networks a real challenge. Recently, some interesting solutions have been proposed to perform data dissemination in this environment. Starting from the analysis of these solutions, we present a new dissemination protocol named DHVN (Dissemination protocol for Heterogeneous Cooperative Vehicular Networks) that considers: (i) roads topology, (ii) network connectivity and possible partitioning in case of low traffic density, and (iii) heterogeneous communication capabilities of the vehicles. We compare our proto…

Gradient Scheduling Algorithm for Fair Delay Guarantee in Logarithmic Pricing Scenario

2008

In this paper we propose a packet scheduling scheme for ensuring delay as a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. For customers, fair service is given while optimizing revenue of the network service provider. Gradient type algorithm for updating the weights of a packet scheduler is derived from a revenue-based optimization problem in the logarithmic pricing scenario. Algorithm is simple to implement. We compared algorithm with optimal brute-force method. The weight updating procedure is independent on the assumption of the connection's statistical behavior, and therefore it is robust against erroneous estimates of statistics.

Performance evaluation of differentiated access mechanisms effectiveness in 802.11 networks

2005

The IEEE 802.11e draft specification aims to extend the original 802.11 MAC protocol by introducing priority mechanisms able to manage bandwidth and resource allocation according to the QoS needs of real-time applications. Different strategies based on MAC parameter diversifications, such as contention window limits, contention window updating factor and silence monitoring time, can be pursued in order to provide service differentiation, also in the case of distributed access. In this paper, we investigate on the behaviour of each differentiation possibility under different load conditions and traffic requirements. Our results show that the most powerful mechanisms which provide service dif…

Graph-based minimal path tracking in the skeleton of the retinal vascular network

2012

This paper presents a semi-automatic framework for minimal path tracking in the skeleton of the retinal vascular network. The method is based on the graph structure of the vessel network. The vascular network is represented based on the skeleton of the available segmented vessels and using an undirected graph. Significant points on the skeleton are considered nodes of the graph, while the edge of the graph is represented by the vessel segment linking two neighboring nodes. The graph is represented then in the form of a connectivity matrix, using a novel method for defining vertex connectivity. Dijkstra and Floyd-Warshall algorithms are applied for detection of minimal paths within the graph…

ANALISI DEL COMPORTAMENTO MECCANICO DI SANDWICH ECO-COMPATIBILI RINFORZATI CON FIBRE NATURALI

2015

The increasing environmental sensitivity in many industrial fields, from automotive to aeronautics to naval field, has led to an increasing demand of new bio-materials or renewable structural materials. In order to give a contribution to the design of eco-compatible structural materials, in this work new sandwich materials constituted by a core made by balsa and skins made by a composite material made by a “green” epoxy reinforced by agave fibers extracted from striated and americana agave obtained in Sicily by a proper research program financed by European founds. Previous theoretical analysis followed by systematical experimental analysis of the core, of the skins and the of the sandwich,…

Analysys and optimization of an end double-lap bonded joint for GFRP composite sandwich panels

2022

Although the best configuration of the joints used to connect a common GFRP sandwich panel with the main structures is the adhesively bonded one, that permit high static and fatigue performances as well as to avoid stress concentrations, mechanical or hybrid joints are still widely used in the industrial field. After a preliminary theoretical design, the optimal configuration of an end adhesively bonded double-lap joint constituted by a simple insert as internal adherent and the same face sheets as external adherent, has been researched. In detail, several experimental tests and successive numerical simulations under tensile and bending loading, performed by varying the main influence para…
