LightSleepNet: A Lightweight Deep Model for Rapid Sleep Stage Classification with Spectrograms.
2021
Deep learning has achieved unprecedented success in sleep stage classification tasks, which starts to pave the way for potential real-world applications. However, due to its enormous size, deployment of deep neural networks is hindered by high cost at various aspects, such as computation power, storage, network bandwidth, power consumption, and hardware complexity. For further practical applications (e.g., wearable sleep monitoring devices), there is a need for simple and compact models. In this paper, we propose a lightweight model, namely LightSleepNet, for rapid sleep stage classification based on spectrograms. Our model is assembled by a much fewer number of model parameters compared to…
Controverses autour du choix de l'école : les leçons de l'étranger
2001
Cet article présente les débats autour du choix de l'école qui prennent place aujourd'hui, de plus en plus souvent, dans les pays étrangers, ainsi que les politiques qui ont été mises en place. Ces politiques, autant que les justifications idéologiques et théoriques qui les fondent, apparaissent de fait très variées. On examine également ce que l'on sait, au vue des recherches disponibles, de l'effet de ces politiques, sur l'efficacité et l'équité des systèmes éducatifs, résultats assez contrastés, et très dépendants des dispositifs concrets de choix retenus dans les divers pays. La spécificité de la situation française est alors soulignée. Enfin, les enjeux du choix de l'école sont discuté…
La integración de la Atención a la Dependencia en los Servicios Sociales Municipales del Ayuntamiento de Sagunto
2011
El cuarto Pilar del Bienestar Social es el sistema de Servicios Sociales, la atención a la dependencia debería ser considerada un subsistema del sistema de Servicios Sociales, el catalogo de prestaciones que recoge la Ley de Autonomía Personal y Atención a las Personas en Situación de Dependencia (Ley 39/2006) se corresponde con las prestaciones reconocidas en las leyes de servicios sociales de las diferentes Comunidades Autónomas, todas ellas aprobadas con anterioridad a la Ley 39/2006. La implantación por parte de la Generalitat Valenciana de la Ley de atención a la dependencia puede vulnerar el principio de Autonomía Local recogido en varios marcos normativos. La visión de atención integ…
Degree Days and Building Energy Demand
2015
Degree-days (DD) are a climatic indicator that can be used in the assessment and analysis of weather related to energy consumption of buildings. Essentially, degree-days are a summation of the differences between the outdoor temperature and some reference (or base) temperature over a specific time period. In literature, different method can be used for determining the DD value and generally the choice depends on the availability of climatic data of each location. In this paper, after a review and comparison of the most common approaches used to determine DD, the Italian procedure was deeply analyzed. The application of Italian technical rules is based on weather data calculated on a monthly…
Experimentation of sustainable energy microsystems: The DE.DU.ENER.T. research project
2015
The paper focuses on an energy sustainable prototype micro-system installed upon a roof of a building in Valderice (Italy). This micro-system has been conceived in the ENPI (European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument) cross-border cooperation Italy - Tunisia 2007–2013 DE.DU.ENER.T. (Le DEveloppement DUrable dans la production ENERgetique dans le Territoire) research project framework. The main aim of this project is the construction of a sustainable energy micro-system prototype suitable for the optimal integration and management of renewable energy resources (photovoltaic, wind and solar thermal) and to reduce the building's energy consumption. In the paper the project and the protot…

URBANISATION ET RESSOURCE EN EAU : VERS UNE GESTION « DURABLE » ?
2004
International audience; A l'échelle internationale comme sur un plan local, les rapports entre la ville et l'eau se placent dans un nouveau contexte : la prise de conscience de la fragilité de cette ressource, bien collectif et élément indispensable à la vie des sociétés. Or, la croissance urbaine et l'instauration de normes sanitaires plus rigoureuses ont entraîné une multiplication des équipements de circulation, de collecte et de traitement de l'eau dont l'efficacité est mise à mal lors des phénomènes climatiques extrêmes, en dépit de leur coût de plus en plus élevé. Dès lors, des expériences nouvelles en matière de politiques urbaines orientent désormais la gestion de l'eau dans le sens…
Streaming era digital media piracy : an integration of three theoretical perspectives
2018
Consumer digital piracy in media contexts is one of the most publicized adverse developments brought on by the Internet and digitization of data. Since the turn of the millennium, it has irrevocably changed the business environment for the creative industries. The sharp decrease of recorded music sales, especially in the physical album format, is perhaps the best example of the negative effects digital piracy. However, the growth of legal services in digital music and video is balancing this trend, as consumers have found that piracy is no longer the obvious solution to acquiring music and video content. This also calls for new approaches to piracy research. We sought them by integrating th…
On the Visual Distraction Effects of Audio-Visual Route Guidance
2016
This is the first controlled quantitative analysis on the visual distraction effects of audio-visual route guidance in simulated, but ecologically realistic driving scenarios with dynamic maneuvers and self-controlled speed (N = 24). The audio-visual route guidance system under testing passed the set verification criteria, which was based on drivers’ preferred occlusion distances on the test routes. There were no significant effects of an upcoming maneuver instruction location (up, down) on the in-car display on any metric or on the experienced workload. The drivers’ median occlusion distances correlated significantly with median incar glance distances. There was no correlation between driv…
Real-Time Minimization Power Losses by Driven Primary Regulation in Islanded Microgrids
2020
Islanded microgrids are small networks that work independently from the main grid. The frequency and voltage in islanded microgrids are affected directly by the output power of distributed generators and power demand variations. In this work, a real-time driven primary regulation, which relies on optimized P-f droop coefficients, is proposed. In all operating conditions, it minimizes the power losses for islanded microgrids. The proposed configuration will allow the optimization modules to interact with each other and adjust parameters producing a suitable power sharing among generators. The methodology is tested based on a hardware-in-the-loop experimental set-up where distributed generato…
