Open data and digital morphology

2017

International audience; Over the past two decades, the development of methods for visualizing and analysing specimens digitally, in three and even four dimensions, has transformed the study of living and fossil organisms. However, the initial promise that the widespread application of such methods would facilitate access to the underlying digital data has not been fully achieved. The underlying datasets for many published studies are not readily or freely available, introducing a barrier to verification and reproducibility, and the reuse of data. There is no current agreement or policy on the amount and type of data that should be made available alongside studies that use, and in some cases…

Validation of the Satisfaction Questionnaire with physical education classes (CSCEF) in the Latin American context

2020

The objective of this study was to validate the Satisfaction Questionnaire in Physical Education Classes (CSCEF) in the context of Latin America (Dominican Republic). 1298 students aged between 15 and 21 participated. The psychometric properties of the instrument were analysed. The results demonstrated that the best factor solution would be a multidimensional model represented by nine dimensions for the satisfaction construct, as well as a higher-order model. According to Cronbach's alpha and omega index, values between .66 and .99 were obtained. The Latin American version of the CSCEF was invariant with respect to gender. Although the results of this study support the validity and reliabil…

Assessing Future Expectations and the Two-Dimensional Model of Affect in an Italian Population

2017

Future-directed thinking has been described as part of two underlying systems that integrate dimensions of affect, motivational systems, orientation to the future, and future expectations, which are initiated at the cognitive, affective, biological, behavioral, and motivational levels. The main aim of the present study is to test the two underlying frameworks model and explore future expectations in a general Italian-speaking population (N=345). Therefore, the second aim of the present paper is to confirm the factorial structure of the Subjective Probability Task (SPT; MacLeod et al., 1996), a questionnaire designed to assess specific positive and negative orientations towards the future. R…

Evolution-Oriented User-Centric Data Warehouse

2011

Data warehouses tend to evolve, because of changes in data sources and business requirements of users. All these kinds of changes must be properly handled, therefore, data warehouse development is never-ending process. In this paper we propose the evolution-oriented user-centric data warehouse design, which on the one hand allows to manage data warehouse evolution automatically or semi-automatically, and on the other hand it provides users with the understandable, easy and transparent data analysis possibilities. The proposed approach supports versions of data warehouse schemata and data semantics.

Los fenómenos disociativos: una revisión conceptual

2003

En el presente trabajo se lleva a cabo una revisión del concepto de disociación y de los fenómenos asociados, haciendo un recorrido desde las posturas clásicas, como la de Janet, hasta los planteamientos que actualmente se centran en el estudio de los fenómenos disociativos. Se aborda, además el planteamiento acerca de la existencia de un continuo de experiencias disociativas, o modelo dimensional, que actualmente se formula conjugado con un modelo tipológico, y se hace una breve revisión de los estudios que se han centrado en las relaciones entre la variable disociación y ciertas variables que tradicionalmente han sido asociadas a este concepto, como la hipnotizabilidad o la represión. Fin…

Stars or constellations?: implications of cognitive studies for the dimensional model of emotion

2016

Uno de los principales debates dentro del estudio de la psicología de la emoción concierne a la concepción de las emociones como constructos psicológicos unificados (categoriales/discretos) en contraposición con el enfoque dimensional del episodio emocional. En este marco, el modelo dimensional de Russell (2003) destaca en el panorama académico al constituir una propuesta integradora que da cuenta de una serie de problemas históricos del ámbito de estudio. Con este fin, se realiza una aproximación analítica a dicho modelo y se argumenta su viabilidad. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo revisar la evidencia empírica a favor de cuatro hipótesis que sostiene el modelo dimensional de Russ…

Integrated three-dimensional models for noninvasive monitoring and valorization of the Morgantina silver treasure (Sicily)

2016

The Morgantina silver treasure belonging to the Archaeological Museum of Aidone (Sicily) was involved in a three-dimensional (3-D) survey and diagnostics campaign for monitoring the collection over time in anticipation of their temporary transfer to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for a period of 4 years. Using a multidisciplinary approach, a scientific and methodological protocol based on noninvasive techniques to achieve a complete and integrated knowledge of the precious items and their conservation state, as well as to increase their valorization, has been developed. All acquired data, i.e., 3-D models, ultraviolet fluorescence, x-ray images, and chemical information, will be…

Static and dynamic policies with RFID for the scheduling of retrieval and storage warehouse operations

2013

Warehouses are essential components of logistics and supply chains. The performance of warehouse operations significantly affects the efficiency of the whole chain it belongs to. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an emerging technology capable of providing real-time information about the location and properties of tagged object(s), such as people, equipment or products. The objective of this article is threefold, to propose and compare different offline and online policies for the scheduling of warehouse operations, to design a tool that allows the decision maker to compare policies and environments without putting them into practice, and to study the benefits that can be obtained if…

Optimization of the contact surface shape of a shrinkage fit

1998

Amongst many processes existing today for the assembly of two cylindrical parts, the shrinkage fit is commonly used. However, in the calculation methods, the contact surfaces are assumed to be perfect. Therefore, in order to apply these, the standards necessitate very small geometrical tolerances. The objective of the present paper is to show that it is possible to take into account form defects by closely conformed contact modelling and to have a good representation of reality: form defects always exist to an increasing extent and are inherent in all kinds of manufacturing processes. Finally, it is shown that the presence of defects can be beneficial, allowing optimization from both a mech…
