Smart Assistance for Students and People Living in a Campus
2019
Being part of one of the fastest growing area in Artificial Intelligence (AI), virtual assistants are nowadays part of everyone's life being integrated in almost every smart device. Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, and Cortana are just few examples of the most famous ones. Beyond these off-the-shelf solutions, different technologies which allow to create custom assistants are available. IBM Watson, for instance, is one of the most widely-adopted question-answering framework both because of its simplicity and accessibility through public APIs. In this work, we present a virtual assistant that exploits the Watson technology to support students and staff of a smart campus at the University of Pa…
Tehnoloģiju attīstības ietekme uz vadīšanas efektivitāti komercbankā.
2018
Darba ietvaros pētāmā problēma ir AS LPB Bank izmantotās lietvedības sistēmas ieviešanas procesa nepilnīga izpilde, kā arī tendence pārāk lēni ieviest jauno tehnoloģiju risinājumus AS LPB Bank ikdienas darbībā. Darba mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz AS LPB Bank darbības un ikdienas procesu analīzi, identificēt galvenās problēmas AS LPB Bank, kas radušās no ieviestās sistēmas un izstrādāt priekšlikumus šo problēmu atrisināšanai. Darbā iegūtie rezultāti ir konkrētu priekšlikumu izstrāde, lai novērstu kā esošās, tā potenciālās problēmas ar ieviesto sistēmu nākotnē, kā arī veicinātu vispārēju AS LPB Bank attīstību IT virzienā. Darbs sastāv no ievada, 4 nodaļām, secinājumiem, priekšlikumiem un izmanto…
Comparison of anterior cingulate vs. insular cortex as targets for real-time fMRI regulation during pain stimulation
2014
© 2014 Emmert Breimhorst Bauermann Birklein Van De Ville and Haller. Real time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt fMRI) neurofeedback allows learning voluntary control over specific brain areas by means of operant conditioning and has been shown to decrease pain perception. To further increase the effect of rt fMRI neurofeedback on pain we directly compared two different target regions of the pain network notably the anterior insular cortex (AIC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Participants for this prospective study were randomly assigned to two age matched groups of 14 participants each (7 females per group) for AIC and ACC feedback. First a functional localizer using bloc…
Les macrophytes pour estimer l'état écologique des cours d'eau : l'Indice Biologique Macrophytique en Rivière et la Directive Cadre sur l'Eau
2005
Les macrophytes sont explicitement désignés par la Directive européenne et les textes français de son application comme éléments biologiques à considérer pour évaluer l`état écologique des cours d`eau dans le cadre de la DCE. A l`issu de tests comparatifs d`indices pré-existants et de différents travaux et tests nationaux, le premier protocole formalisé (indices GIS, Haury et al., 1996) a évolué vers l`Indice Biologique Macrophytique en Rivière (IBMR), normalisé par l`AFNOR en 2003. Quelles réponses ce protocole d`évaluation de l`état écologique des cours d`eau peut-il apporter aux besoins liés à l`application de la DCE en France, et comment complète-t-il les outils développés actuellement …
Analysis of E2F1 by clAP1
2017
The cellular inhibitor of Apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) behaves as an E3 ubiquitin ligase and has oncogenic properties. Previously, our team has shown that cIAP1 can regulate the E2F1 transcription factor activity. My research project has been focused on deepening our current knowledge on this interaction. Firstly, we characterized the E2F1-cIAP1 interaction, then we analyzed the regulation of E2F1 by cIAP1 and finally assessed the importance of the cIAP1-E2F1 interaction for the oncogenic properties of cIAP1. I have demonstrated a interaction of E2F1 with the hydrophobic pocket of the BIR3 domain of cIAP1. Moreover, I highlighted that the alpha 1 helix of the BIR3 domain is mandatory for the stabili…

Pico: A data acquisition program for picosecond laser spectroscopy
1992
Abstract A data acquisition and control program for picosecond pump and probe experiments has been developed. The program PICO is written in C-programming language for maximum efficiency. The software which runs on an IBM PC compatible microcomputer controls a stepper motor driven optical delay, and at the same time collects data from a digital lock-in amplifier. PICO can be used to control any experiment utilizing two-beam pump probe technique. The modular structure of the software allows for easy implementation with different hardware configurations. The program includes: measurement option, manual control of the delay line using a joystick and functions for file retrieval and editing. Ad…
Stroke Cognitive Medical Assistant (StrokeCMA)
2018
Stroke is the number two killer after heart disease since it is responsible for almost 10% of all deaths worldwide. The main problem with a stroke is a significant delay in treatment that happened mainly due to inappropriate detection of stroke symptoms or inability of a person to perform further necessary actions, and might cause death, permanent disabilities, as well as more expensive treatment and rehabilitation. Nowadays assessment of a stroke is done by human, following widely adopted FAST approach of stroke assessment. Since a human factor become one of the causes of treatment delay, offered solution will try to minimize this factor. Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Computing, Machi…
Zibmaksājumu attīstību noteicošie faktori un to ietekme uz iedzīvotāju paradumiem Eiropā
2019
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Zibmaksājumu attīstību noteicošie faktori un to ietekme uz iedzīvotāju paradumiem Eiropā”. Zibmaksājumi ir maksājumu sistēmas jaunievedums, kas palīdz uzlabot maksājumu kvalitāti un ļauj klientiem nosūtīt un saņemt naudu vien dažās sekundēs, paātrinot šo procesu un uzlabojot naudas kustību. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt zibmaksājumu attīstības noteicošus faktorus un to ietekmi uz iedzīvotāju paradumiem Eiropā, lai izvērtētu zibmaksājumu nepieciešamību un to nākotnes attīstību. Darbā iegūtie galvenie rezultāti ir, ka tūlītējie maksājumi ir nepieciešami aktīvākajiem banku klientiem, un kā liecina aptauju rezultāti – to skaits ir pietiekami liels. Darbs ir noderīgs zibmaksāj…
