Array programming with NumPy.

2020

Array programming provides a powerful, compact and expressive syntax for accessing, manipulating and operating on data in vectors, matrices and higher-dimensional arrays. NumPy is the primary array programming library for the Python language. It has an essential role in research analysis pipelines in fields as diverse as physics, chemistry, astronomy, geoscience, biology, psychology, materials science, engineering, finance and economics. For example, in astronomy, NumPy was an important part of the software stack used in the discovery of gravitational waves1 and in the first imaging of a black hole2. Here we review how a few fundamental array concepts lead to a simple and powerful programmi…

100+ Metrics for Software Startups : A Multi-Vocal Literature Review

2019

Metrics can be used by businesses to make more objective decisions based on data. Software startups in particular are characterized by the uncertain or even chaotic nature of the contexts in which they operate. Using data in the form of metrics can help software startups to make the right decisions amidst uncertainty and limited resources. However, whereas conventional business metrics and software metrics have been studied in the past, metrics in the spe-cific context of software startup are not widely covered within academic literature. To promote research in this area and to create a starting point for it, we have conducted a multi-vocal literature review focusing on practitioner literat…

Why Should the Q-method be Integrated Into the Design Science Research? A Systematic Mapping Study

2019

The Q-method has been utilized over time in various areas, including information systems. In this study, we used a systematic mapping to illustrate how the Q-method was applied within Information Systems (IS) community and proposing towards the integration of Q-method into the Design Sciences Research (DSR) process as a tool for future research DSR-based IS studies. In this mapping study, we collected peer-reviewed journals from Basket-of-Eight journals and the digital library of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). Then we grouped the publications according to the process of DSR, and different variables for preparing Q-method from IS publications. We found that the potential of t…

Her Mistress's Voice: Gynophonocentrism in Feminist Discourses

2000

I will trace the metaphors of voice in the discourses of feminisms as articulated by Judith Fetterley, Kaja Silverman, Julia Kristeva, and Hélène Cixous. I will analyze the presuppositions of their vocal or sound imagery, paying special attention to the implications of the essentialism/constructivism opposition. It is not my intention to provide a comprehensive account of voice in feminisms, nor to make sweeping generalizations on the basis of a very limited corpus. Moreover, in spite of their differences in cultural background, period, and main area of study, the four theorists to be read are, as it were, within earshot from each other, centering, whether anglo- or francophone, around the …

The Influence of Infective Dose on the Virulence of a Generalist Pathogen in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Zebra Fish (Danio rerio)

2015

Pathogen density and genetic diversity fluctuate in the outside-host environment during and between epidemics, affecting disease emergence and the severity and probability of infections. Although the importance of these factors for pathogen virulence and infection probability has been acknowledged, their interactive effects are not well understood. We studied how an infective dose in an environmentally transmitted opportunistic fish pathogen, Flavobacterium columnare, affects its virulence both in rainbow trout, which are frequently infected at fish farms, and in zebra fish, a host that is not naturally infected by F. columnare. We used previously isolated strains of confirmed high and low …

Dažāda veida aberāciju un gaismas izkliedes ietekme uz attēla izšķirtspēju

2018

Bakalaura darbs ir sarakstīts latviešu valodā uz 29 lappusēm, satur 33 attēlus, 1 tabulu un 18 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Mērķis: izpētīt, kā dažādas aberācijas ietekmē attēla kvalitāti gadījumos, kad gaismas izkliede pastāv un kad tā nepastāv. Metode: tika pētīta sfēriskās, vertikālās koma, astigmātisma, defokusa un trīslapiņu abererāciju ietekme uz attēla izšķirspēju savienojumā ar gaismas izkliedi, izmantojot optiskās sistēmas un simulētas situācijas. Rezultāti: pēc punkta izplūdes funkcijas noteikts, ka lielāko attēla apmiglojumu veido astigmatisms. Atslēgas vārdi: aberācijas, gaismas izkliede, modulācijas pārneses funkcija, attēla izšķirtspēja, mazāko kvadrātu funkcija, punkta iz…
