Automated uncertainty quantification analysis using a system model and data
2015
International audience; Understanding the sources of, and quantifying the magnitude of, uncertainty can improve decision-making and, thereby, make manufacturing systems more efficient. Achieving this goal requires knowledge in two separate domains: data science and manufacturing. In this paper, we focus on quantifying uncertainty, usually called uncertainty quantification (UQ). More specifically, we propose a methodology to perform UQ automatically using Bayesian networks (BN) constructed from three types of sources: a descriptive system model, physics-based mathematical models, and data. The system model is a high-level model describing the system and its parameters; we develop this model …
Emerging mutualisms: fungal endophytes and their relationships with mycorrhizal fungi
2011
National audience; De nombreuses maladies émergentes apparaissent qui sont dues à des champignons, aussi bien chez les plantes, les animaux que chez l’homme. Il est donc important de comprendre les mécanismes à l’origine de ces maladies, et la biologie évolutive fournit un cadre théorique indispensable, en particulier pour comprendre l’adaptation des pathogènes aux nouveaux environnements ou aux nouveaux hôtes.

Effectiveness of Exergame Intervention on Walking in Older Adults : A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
2021
Objective. The objective of this review was to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of exergaming on walking in older adults. In addition, the aim was to investigate the relationship between the exergaming effect and age, baseline walking performance, exercise traits, technology used and the risk of bias. Methods. A literature search was carried out in the databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, EMBASE, WoS, PsycInfo and PEDro up to January 10, 2020. Studies with a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design, people ≥60 years of age without neurological disorders, comparison group with other exercise or no exercise, and walking related outcomes were included. Cochrane RoB2, meta-analysis, met…
The effect of allergen immunotherapy in the onset of new sensitizations: a meta-analysis.
2017
Background Although the preventive efficacy of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) in the onset of new allergen sensitizations has been asserted by many reviews, position papers, and consensus conferences, the evidence available is from only 3 studies. The objective of this work was a systematic review to evaluate the preventive efficacy of AIT in the onset of new allergen sensitizations. The end-point was the risk difference (RD) in the onset of new allergen sensitizations between patients treated with AIT and pharmacotherapy. Methods Computerized bibliographic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library (until November 30th, 2016) were done. Random-effects and fixed-effects model meta-…
A review of the importance of mineral nitrogen cycling in the plant-soil-microbe system of permafrost-affected soils : changing the paradigm
2022
The paradigm that permafrost-affected soils show restricted mineral nitrogen (N) cycling in favor of organic N compounds is based on the observation that net N mineralization rates in these cold climates are negligible. However, we find here that this perception is wrong. By synthesizing published data on N cycling in the plant-soil-microbe system of permafrost ecosystems we show that gross ammonification and nitrification rates in active layers were of similar magnitude and showed a similar dependence on soil organic carbon (C) and total N concentrations as observed in temperate and tropical systems. Moreover, high protein depolymerization rates and only marginal effects of C:N stoichiomet…
Intervención en el aula para la mejora de la atención y el rendimiento en el alumnado de segundo nivel de educación primaria: eficacia de las auto-in…
2015
El estudio se divide en un marco teórico y un marco empírico. En el marco teórico se trata el estudio de la atención, así como la atención y rendimiento escolar, los problemas atencionales, la evaluación de la atención y la intervención para la mejora de la atención. Por otro lado, el marco empírico trata la investigación formada por un lado, por una encuesta destinada a profesores de primer ciclo de primaria para conocer si existen problemas de atención entre sus alumnos, y por otro lado de una intervención en segundo nivel de educación primaria en estrategias meta-atencionales concretamente en auto-observación y auto-instrucción. Los objetivos de la investigación con sus hipótesis son los…
Listado de preguntas del “exam wrapper”, EW -13
2023
Los envoltorios de los exámenes ('exam wrapper') son listados diseñados para promover la reflexión personal sobre la ejecución en un ejercicio o examane y el profesorado espera que conduzca al alumnado a ver los exámenes como experiencias de aprendizaje, y no solo como una evaluación. Con ello, se espera también es el alumnado desarrollen el hábito de evaluar su propio desempeño y aumenten su capacidad de autorregulación. Proyecto de innovación educativa 2022/2023 (NOU_PID, UV-SFPIE_PID-2080269). Universidad de Valencia, Vicerrectorado de Transformación Docente y Formación Permanente. Exam wrappers are designed to promote reflection, which instructors hope will lead students to view exams a…
Are woodland key habitats biodiversity hotspots in boreal forests?
2011
Background: The concept of Woodland Key Habitats (WKH, small-scaled presumed hotspots of biodiversity) has become an essential component of forest management in Fennoscandian and Baltic countries. There have been debates over the importance of WKHs in relation to production forests, and several research projects have focused on differences in biodiversity between the two. Results have been contradictory, and thus there is a need to summarize and clarify the existing knowledge. - Objectives: Our objective was to summarize knowledge on comparisons of several biodiversity qualities between WKHs and production forests in relevant countries i.e. the countries where WKH concept has been implement…
Open science as a better gatekeeper for science and society: a perspective from neurolaw
2018
Results from cognitive neuroscience have been cited as evidence in courtrooms around the world, and their admissibility has been a challenge for the legal system. Unfortunately, the recent reproducibility crisis in cognitive neuroscience, showing that the published studies in cognitive neuroscience may not be as trustworthy as expected, has made the situation worse. Here we analysed how the irreproducible results in cognitive neuroscience literature could compromise the standards for admissibility of scientific evidence, and pointed out how the open science movement may help to alleviate these problems. We conclude that open science not only benefits the scientific community but also the le…
