Locally Supported Wavelets on Manifolds with Applications to the 2D Sphere

1999

Abstract In this paper we present a construction principle for locally supported wavelets on manifolds once a multiresolution analysis is given. The wavelets provide a stable (or unconditional) basis for a scale of Sobolev spaces H s , 0 ≤ s ≤ s . We examine a fast wavelet transform with almost optimal complexity. For the two-dimensional sphere we construct a multiresolution analysis generated by continuous splines that are bilinear with respect to some special spherical grid. In our approach the poles are not exceptional points concerning the approximation power or the stability of the wavelet basis. Finally we present some numerical applications to singularity detection and the analysis o…

Ranking-based Ties Social Networks : an illustration based on a system of Fashion Capital Cities in the world.

2012

Our paper aims to apply a non-conventional Social Network Analysis to a network generated from an initial sorting of data with mere order. The aim is to test whether and how one relationship set 'conveniently' generated by the ranking is able to provide a coherent system of interactions with possible practical and theoretical utility. We consider a system of city distributions where we focus on ¿Ranking-Based Ties¿ social networks, considering a system of 'objects' of the same class that would be able to interact. The objects in question are ordered according to their 'performance' in a particular ranking. According to a survey developed by Global Langu…

Facilitating Team Reflexivity About Communication

2016

This article explores how team facilitation can promote team reflexivity about communication. We present a case study that was conducted within a participatory action research framework with a Top Management Team for an international manufacturing company. We identify and analyze five key interventions that promoted team reflexivity. These interventions included activities such as (a) framing the facilitation, (b) inquiring into the key issues, (c) role modeling feedback, (d) positive storytelling, and (e) reflecting on concrete communication actions. The findings suggest that reflexivity can be enhanced through positive storytelling and emotion, framing and contextual sensitivity, and add…

Siamo l'esercito del Selfie e non abbiamo più contatti

2017

Le tecnologie mobili influenzano profondamente il modo di pensare e di organizzare il sapere: tendenze, potenzialità e criticità. Le persone sviluppano un’adeguata concezione dei processi cognitivi implicati dagli strumenti multimediali e sono in grado di controllare tali processi in maniera funzionale. L'utilizzo di social media online, come Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, ecc., Sta diventando un fenomeno psicologico e sociale. Oltre il 55 per cento dei "Millennials" hanno preso un selfie e lo hanno condiviso sui social media e oltre 93 milioni di selfies vengono utilizzati ogni giorno con il rischio di condurre all'ossessione. Il Selfie è un'attività non così nuova ma popolare nella cultura …

A new perspective of innovation toward a non-contact society - Amazon's initiative in pioneering growing seamless switching

2022

This paper elucidates the inside of the black box of Amazon's unique research and development (R&D) dynamism that made it the world's top R&D leader by transforming “routine or periodic alterations” into “significant improvement” during the R&D process. This dynamism also succeeded in transforming the COVID-19 pandemic period into a springboard for new innovation, leading to Amazon's notable growth notwithstanding the pandemic. An empirical analysis using a techno-economic approach focusing on Amazon's endeavor to develop a series of advanced digital fashions (ADFs) and online-based luxury brands (neo-luxury) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic was conducted. Amazon became a global appa…

Primeros pasos de la neuroimagen en el proceso penal estadounidense

2020

espanolEn el presente estudio se efectua una revision de la aportacion de las pruebas de neuroimagen en el proceso penal estadounidense, cuya contribucion varia en gran medida en funcion de la etapa del proceso en la que sean alegadas: mientras los datos neurocognitivos no tienen practicamente relevancia en la fase de determinacion de la competencia o de culpabilidad, en la de sentencia se estan convirtiendo en una poderosa arma para la mitigacion, sobre todo en aquellos casos en los que se discute la pena capital. No obstante, como se concluira, seria en esta fase de culpabilidad, como fundamento de la defensa incompleta de capacidad disminuida cuando se discuten trastornos mentales, espec…

Fast-growing willow (Salix viminalis) as a filler in polyethylene composites

2018

Abstract The study investigated the possibility of using wood flour obtained from fast-growing willow chips (Salix viminalis) as an alternative for standard hard- and softwood flours used in the production of wood polymer composites (WPCs). The composites contained willow flour and polyethylene matrix (OPCs) were prepared, characterized and compared with other WPCs which had been filled with hard- or softwood flours. Moreover, the structural and functional properties were investigated and discussed. Greater hemicellulose contents and lower lignin contents in OPCs resulted in better impact strength values of those materials. Which is interesting, the chemical composition of OPCs was found si…
