From point to area: Upscaling approaches for Late Quaternary archaeological and environmental data
2014
Abstract The study of past socio-environmental systems integrates a variety of terrestrial archives. To understand regional or continental socio-environmental interactions proxy data from local archives need to be transferred to larger spatial scales. System properties like spatial heterogeneity, historical and spatial contingency, nonlinearity, scale dependency or emergence make generalizations from local observations to larger scales difficult. As these are common properties of natural and social systems, the development of an interdisciplinary upscaling framework for socio-environmental systems remains a challenge. For example, the integration of social and environmental data is often hi…
Accuracy evaluation of orthodontic movements with aligners: a prospective observational study.
2022
Abstract Background Since their introduction in orthodontics, clear aligners have been appreciated by patients, including adults, for their comfort and low aesthetic impact. Despite the enormous mobilization of financial resources all over the world aimed at producing new product lines, few clinical studies or high-quality evidence have been produced regarding the real effectiveness of such treatment. Given the few limited kinds of research on the subject, this study aims to produce and critically evaluate other data, to establish the concrete reliability of clear aligners in orthodontic therapy. Results Significant sample sizes were obtained for intrusion, vestibulo/lingual (V/L) crown tip…
Is Big Brother Watching Us? Google, Investor Sentiment and the Stock Market
2013
International audience; This paper proposes a novel measure of French investor sentiment based on the volume of internet search reported by Google Trends. We find that our sentiment indicator correlates well with alternative sentiment measures often used in the literature. Furthermore, we find that investor sentiment influences the behavior of mutual fund investors. The results also reveal evidence about short-run predictability in return. An increase in our sentiment index leads to short-term return reversal. The reversal pattern is more pronounced for smaller firms than larger firms, consistent with the predictions of noise trader's models.
Cardiorespiratory information dynamics during mental arithmetic and sustained attention
2015
An analysis of cardiorespiratory dynamics during mental arithmetic, which induces stress, and sustained attention was conducted using information theory. The information storage and internal information of heart rate variability (HRV) were determined respectively as the self-entropy of the tachogram, and the self-entropy of the tachogram conditioned to the knowledge of respiration. The information transfer and cross information from respiration to HRV were assessed as the transfer and cross-entropy, both measures of cardiorespiratory coupling. These information-theoretic measures identified significant nonlinearities in the cardiorespiratory time series. Additionally, it was shown that, alt…
Sentiment Across Asset Markets
2018
In this paper, we study investor sentiment in five major asset markets: stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and housing. Based on Thomson Reuter's sentiment measures extracted from 235 news and social media sources, we find that each market is predicted by its own sentiment. Cross-markets, kitchen sink regressions reveal that the stock market is influenced only by bond sentiment, while bond market is affected just by currency market, which is largely unexplained by others; the commodities are related to currencies and housing, and housing can be predicted by stock and bond sentiment. In an efficient information aggregation by the partial least square (PLS), the predictability of each ma…
A New Dynamic Model for Anticipatory Adaptive Control of Airline Seat Reservation via Order Statistics of Cumulative Customer Demand
2017
This paper deals with dynamic anticipatory adaptive control of airline seat reservation for the stochastic customer demand that occurs over time T before the flight is scheduled to depart. It is assumed that time T is divided into m periods, namely a full fare period and m−1 discounted fare periods. The fare structure is given. An airplane has a seat capacity of U. For the sake of simplicity, but without loss of generality, we consider (for illustration) the case of nonstop flight with two fare classes (business and economy). The proposed policies of the airline seat inventory control are based on the use of order statistics of cumulative customer demand, which have such properties as bivar…
Adaptive Stochastic Airline Seat Inventory Control under Parametric Uncertainty
2013
Airline seat inventory control is a very profitable tool in the airline industry. The problem of adaptive stochastic airline seat inventory control lies at the heart of airline revenue management. This problem concerns the allocation of the finite seat inventory to the stochastic customer demand that occurs over time before the flight is scheduled to depart. The objective is to find the right combination of customers of various fare classes on the flight such that revenue is maximized. In this paper, the static and dynamic policies of stochastic airline seat inventory control (airline booking) are developed under parametric uncertainty of underlying models, which are not necessarily alterna…
DELL’UTRI E CONTRADA “GEMELLI DIVERSI”: È LA REVISIONE EUROPEA LO STRUMENTO DI OTTEMPERANZA ALLE SENTENZE CEDU
2017
La Cassazione nega l’origine giurisprudenziale del concorso esterno in associazione mafiosa e individua il rimedio della revisione europea per l’attuazione della decisione CEDU nei confronti di soggetti in posizioni simili a quella di Contrada. Il percorso offre l’occasione per riflettere sulla connotazione “oggettiva” della prevedibilità e sull’uguaglianza di trattamento dei condannati. Italian supreme Court denies that the origin of external participation in mafia-type criminal association lies in case law and envisages the European review as the tool to comply with ECtHR judgements in similar cases to that of Contrada. This jurisprudence provides a proper opportunity for an in-depth exam…
Génétique des textes et système chaotique
2016
Textual genetics and chaotic system Although we share Louis Hay's idea that it is impossible to homologate and systematize the operations which can be observed in manuscripts, it is however possible to interpret whatever creation process in terms of the passage from entropy to order. The possibility of an analogy between text and chaotic system had been advanced by Noëlle Batt according to whom each work actually satisfies the principles of the chaotic system. It is starting from such principles that we will try to show the analogy between chaotic system and textual genetics: 1. The fact that we are dealing with an evolving system (with variables and permanent features) endowed with a tempo…
Improved Predictability for Foreign Direct Investors by Comprising Different Macroeconomic Levels: A New Model Approach
2020
Foreign direct investments have grown over the last decades which are related to the ongoing globalization process. The current literature shows research works dealing with the topic of influence factors on foreign direct investment (FDI) decisions which may occur during the decision-making process. A new causal model has been developed to get in-depth view on macroeconomic perspective. Motives to do FDI are strongly impacted by macroeconomic factors which may influence upcoming decisions. To be able to understand the impact of the macroeconomic environment on FDI decisions the factors have been diversified and conceptualized, divided into three subgroups of independent latent variables in …
