Improving Estimates Accuracy of Voter Transitions. Two New Algorithms for Ecological Inference Based on Linear Programming
2022
The estimation of RxC ecological inference contingency tables from aggregate data is one of the most salient and challenging problems in the field of quantitative social sciences, with major solutions proposed from both the ecological regression and the mathematical programming frameworks. In recent decades, there has been a drive to find solutions stemming from the former, with the latter being less active. From the mathematical programming framework, this paper suggests a new direction for tackling this problem. For the first time in the literature, a procedure based on linear programming is proposed to attain estimates of local contingency tables. Based on this and the homogeneity hypot…
Courbes de Bézier quadratiques et nombres complexes massiques
2017
International audience; Les courbes de Bézier quadratiques jouent un rôle fondamental pour la modélisation d'arcs de coniques. L'utili-sation de points massiques permet de modéliser des demi-coniques dans le plan affine euclidien ou des surfaces canal dans l'espace de Minkowski-Lorentz. L'utilisation des nombres complexes permet de simplifier beaucoup de raisonnements en géométrie et de simplifier l'utilisation des transformations affines planes. Dans cet article, nous définissons dans un premier temps les nombres complexes massiques et dans un second temps, nous modéli-sons des arcs de coniques en utilisant des courbes de Bézier rationnelles quadratiques avec des points complexes massiques…
Husserl's Transcendentalization of Mathematical Naturalism
2020
Abstract The paper aims to capture a form of naturalism that can be found “built-in” in phenomenology, namely the idea to take science or mathematics on its own, without postulating extraneous normative “molds” on it. The paper offers a detailed comparison of Penelope Maddy’s naturalism about mathematics and Husserl’s approach to mathematics in Formal and Transcendental Logic (1929). It argues that Maddy’s naturalized methodology is similar to the approach in the first part of the book. However, in the second part Husserl enters into a transcendental clarification of the evidences and presuppositions of the mathematicians’ work, thus “transcendentalizing” his otherwise naturalist approach t…
Evaluación y caracterización biomecánica de los trinquetes de pelota valenciana. (Biomechanical assessment and characterization of the Valencian ball…
2012
El trinquete es la instalacion de referencia en la practica de la pelota valenciana, donde se juegan las modalidades profesionales de escala i corda y raspall. Sin embargo, no existe una normativa ni procedimientos de ensayo especificos que permitan definir las caracteristicas mecanicas que deben reunir paredes y pavimento del trinquete, para que los jugadores tengan una practica segura y optimicen su rendimiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar diferentes variables mecanicas en las instalaciones de juego, determinar los procedimientos de ensayo mas adecuados y, finalmente, proponer unos valores mecanicos que definan una instalacion de calidad. Los estudios se llevaron a cabo en 10…
Positive solutions for nonlinear Robin problems
2017
We consider a parametric Robin problem driven by the p-Laplacian with an indefinite potential and with a superlinear reaction term which does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. We look for positive solutions. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing the nonexistence, existence and multiplicity of positive solutions as the parameter varies. We also show the existence of a minimal positive solution $\tilde{u}_\lambda$ and establish the monotonicity and continuity of the map $\lambda\to \tilde{u}_\lambda$.
Understanding tungsten erosion during inter/intra-ELM periods in He-dominated JET-ILW plasmas
2021
Tungsten erosion was quantified during inter/intra-ELM periods in He-dominated JET-ILW plasmas by optical emission spectroscopy. The intra-ELM tungsten sputtering in helium plasmas, which dominates the total W source, prevails by a factor of about 4 over inter-ELM sputtering in the investigated ELM frequency range from 90 Hz-120 Hz. He ions are mainly responsible for the W erosion during the ELMs in He plasmas. The strong in/out asymmetry of the ELM-induced W erosion is observed in He plasmas even at high ELM frequencies beyond 100 Hz. In Ohmic/L-mode plasmas and during the H-mode inter-ELM plasma phases both He2+ and Be2+ ionic species are major contributors to the W erosion. Their contrib…
Students' problems in the identification of subspaces in Linear Algebra
2018
International audience; The goal of the study presented in this paper is the investigation of students' problems with exercises concerning central topics of linear algebra courses at university level. We present the results of our analysis of students' work on an exercise about subspaces of . We evaluated the written solutions of the task as well as transcripts based on videos taken of student groups working on the problem. We identified and classified descriptions of vector spaces and subspaces that varied widely and demonstrated highly different skills in working with geometric or formal algebraic objects. We analyzed how far students could progress in a complex reasoning process, and ide…
Constant sign and nodal solutions for parametric anisotropic $(p, 2)$-equations
2021
We consider an anisotropic ▫$(p, 2)$▫-equation, with a parametric and superlinear reaction term.Weshow that for all small values of the parameter the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions, four with constant sign and the fifth nodal (sign-changing). The proofs use tools from critical point theory, truncation and comparison techniques, and critical groups. Spletna objava: 9. 9. 2021. Abstract. Bibliografija: str. 1076.
Applying Student Development Theories: Enhancing International Student Academic Success and Integration
2019
Student development theories (SDT) focus on the growth and change occurring in students while attending higher education. In this article, we propose that the application of student development theories supports holistic development in international students and helps us understand international students’ academic success and integration. We outline a combination of student development models, derived from SDT, and interact them with concepts from international student mobility and migration (ISM). These models, when applied to student services, may assist higher education institutions (HEIs) in designing student services for international students enhancing academic success and integration.
