Empirical Study on Cyber Range Capabilities, Interactions and Learning Features
2021
Emerging technologies and the globalization require constant investment in people and their performance in actual and virtual environments. New technologies such as autonomous systems, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) radically re-contextualize the human dimension of the organization. Technological developments are changing the ways people experience the physical and the virtual environments. Strategic changes have revealed new critical vulnerabilities such as social media-based disinformation campaigning with impact on the human aspects at state, societal, organizational and individual levels. Scenarios of gathering information, committing fraud or getting access to critic…
The role of caregiver in inclusion processes of separated children: linguistic and psycho-pedagogical reflections.
2016
Great attention has been paid to human rights protection of separated children. One example is given by the several editions of Statement of Good Practice (SCEP) that provide a straightforward account of the policies and practices required to implement and protect the human rights of separated children. Nevertheless, when coming into terms with the various needs of separated children, various difficulties are experienced linked to the unawareness of the implications linguistic and cultural diversity may have. In building a framework for action and advocacy not only one has to be linguistically skilled but also aware of how a particular society works and that language implies culture, societ…
An Empirical Study Of Service Quality Dimensions On Customer Satisfaction And Customer Loyalty In Nepalese Commercial Banking Sector
2016
Master thesis Business Administration - University of Agder 2016 The main purpose behind of this study is to find out the major factors that have impact in customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in case of commercial banks of Nepal. The thesis tries to explore whether there exists any relationship between service quality dimensions, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty depending upon various situational factors. Various concepts such as consumer buying behavior, buyer’s decision process, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, service quality, SERVQUAL model have been discussed along with relevant relationship between them in the literature review and based upon it, a conceptual …
The HITRAN2016 molecular spectroscopic database
2017
This paper describes the contents of the 2016 edition of the HITRAN molecular spectroscopic compilation. The new edition replaces the previous HITRAN edition of 2012 and its updates during the intervening years. The HITRAN molecular absorption compilation is composed of five major components: the traditional line-by-line spectroscopic parameters required for high-resolution radiative-transfer codes, infrared absorption cross-sections for molecules not yet amenable to representation in a line-by-line form, collision-induced absorption data, aerosol indices of refraction, and general tables such as partition sums that apply globally to the data. The new HITRAN is greatly extended in terms of …
Navigated percutaneous screw fixation of the pelvis with O-arm 2: two years' experience.
2020
Aim To evaluate the case series of the patients operated with percutaneous fixation by the navigation system based on 3D fluo-roscopic images, to assess the precision of a surgical implant and functional outcome of patients. Methods A retrospective study of pelvic ring fractures in a 2-year period included those treated with the use of the O-Arm 2 in com-bination with the Stealth Station 8. Pelvic fractures were classifi-ed according to the Tile and the Young-Burgess classification. All patients were examined before surgery, with X-rays and CT scans, and three days after surgery with additional CT scan. The positioning of the screws was evaluated according to the Smith score, the outcome wi…
Biologic response of inguinal hernia prosthetics: a comparative study of conventional static meshes versus 3D dynamic implants.
2015
Despite improvements in prosthetics and surgical techniques, the rate of complications following inguinal hernia repair remains high. Among these, discomfort and chronic pain have become a source of increasing concern among surgeons. Poor quality of tissue ingrowth, such as thin scar plates or shrinking scars-typical results with conventional static implants and plugs-may contribute to these adverse events. Recently, a new type of 3D dynamically responsive implant was introduced to the market. This device, designed to be placed fixation-free, seems to induce ingrowth of viable and structured tissue instead of regressive fibrotic scarring. To elucidate the differences in biologic response be…
Combinatorial solid-phase synthesis using D-galactose as a chiral five-dimension-deversity scaffold
1999
Abstract All five hydroxy groups of galactose as the scaffold are used for selective coupling of side chains in a combinatorial methodology by application of a set of orthogonally stable protecting groups in combination with a thioglycoside anchor.
Nonsymmetric conical upper density and $k$-porosity
2017
We study how the Hausdorff measure is distributed in nonsymmetric narrow cones in R n \mathbb {R}^n . As an application, we find an upper bound close to n − k n-k for the Hausdorff dimension of sets with large k k -porosity. With k k -porous sets we mean sets which have holes in k k different directions on every small scale.
Fast apparent oscillations of fundamental constants
2019
Precision spectroscopy of atoms and molecules allows one to search for and to put stringent limits on the variation of fundamental constants. These experiments are typically interpreted in terms of variations of the fine structure constant $\alpha$ and the electron to proton mass ratio $\mu=m_e/m_p$. Atomic spectroscopy is usually less sensitive to other fundamental constants, unless the hyperfine structure of atomic levels is studied. However, the number of possible dimensionless constants increases when we allow for fast variations of the constants, where "fast" is determined by the time scale of the response of the studied species or experimental apparatus used. In this case, the relevan…
Snowball ICA: A Model Order Free Independent Component Analysis Strategy for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data
2020
In independent component analysis (ICA), the selection of model order (i.e., number of components to be extracted) has crucial effects on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain network analysis. Model order selection (MOS) algorithms have been used to determine the number of estimated components. However, simulations show that even when the model order equals the number of simulated signal sources, traditional ICA algorithms may misestimate the spatial maps of the signal sources. In principle, increasing model order will consider more potential information in the estimation, and should therefore produce more accurate results. However, this strategy may not work for fMRI because …
