Glorifying Elohim with Dispositive and Probative Facts for Subsequent Motions:Nosce Te Ipsum (A Logic and Mathematics’ Approach)
2018
Pythagoras made the imperative “Man know thyself; then thou shalt know the Universe and God.” One of the Egyptian Luxor Temple proverbs is "Man, know thyself, and you are going to know the gods” and another is "The body is the house of God.” In some ways all classical literature addresses this question. Shakespeare’s asked the famous question, “To be, or not to be, that is the question,” which can be said, “To (X) be (Ǝ), or (V) not (¬) to (X) be (Ǝ), that is (=) the question (a known unknown, ?),” or ((X) Ǝ) V (¬ (X) Ǝ) = ?. Dispositive and probative facts for subsequent motions can be shown as proof of knowing God, which can be simply stated with logic and mathematics: know (cog) God (I) …
Solution of an initial-value problem for parabolic equations via monotone operator methods
2014
We study a general initial-value problem for parabolic equations in Banach spaces, by using a monotone operator method. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of solution to such problem.
Anche in Francia è un dilemma: accettare o no i petroldollari del Qatar? 150 milioni per le banlieue parigine
2013
Iniziano a indirizzarsi verso città europee forme di cooperazione internazionale alla rovescia: l'articolo parla dell'infuocato dibattito francese sull'opportunità di accettare finanziamenti dal Qatar per la micro-imprenditoria di soggetti svantaggiati che abitano nelle periferie di Parigi.
Control strategy based on wavelet transform and neural network for hybrid power system
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Applied Mathematics. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/375840 Open Access This paper deals with an energy management of a hybrid power generation system. The proposed control strategy for the energy management is based on the combination of wavelet transform and neural network arithmetic. The hybrid system in this paper consists of an emulated wind turbine generator, PV panels, DC and AC loads, lithium ion battery, and super capacitor, which are all connected on a DC bus with unified DC voltage. The control strategy is responsible for compensating the difference between the generated power from the…
Radiomics and Prostate MRI: Current Role and Future Applications
2021
Multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is widely used as a triage test for men at a risk of prostate cancer. However, the traditional role of mpMRI was confined to prostate cancer staging. Radiomics is the quantitative extraction and analysis of minable data from medical images; it is emerging as a promising tool to detect and categorize prostate lesions. In this paper we review the role of radiomics applied to prostate mpMRI in detection and localization of prostate cancer, prediction of Gleason score and PI-RADS classification, prediction of extracapsular extension and of biochemical recurrence. We also provide a future perspective of artificial intelligence (machine …
A multimodal retina-iris biometric system using the Levenshtein distance for spatial feature comparison
2020
Abstract The recent developments of information technologies, and the consequent need for access to distributed services and resources, require robust and reliable authentication systems. Biometric systems can guarantee high levels of security and multimodal techniques, which combine two or more biometric traits, warranting constraints that are more stringent during the access phases. This work proposes a novel multimodal biometric system based on iris and retina combination in the spatial domain. The proposed solution follows the alignment and recognition approach commonly adopted in computational linguistics and bioinformatics; in particular, features are extracted separately for iris and…
Novel Iris Biometric Watermarking Based on Singular Value Decomposition and Discrete Cosine Transform
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/926170 A novel iris biometric watermarking scheme is proposed focusing on iris recognition instead of the traditional watermark for increasing the security of the digital products. The preprocess of iris image is to be done firstly, which generates the iris biometric template from person's eye images. And then the templates are to be on discrete cosine transform; the value of the discrete cosine is encoded to BCH error control coding. The host image is divided into four areas equally correspondingly. The BCH codes are embedded in the sing…
Mathematical problem-solving in early school years with Bee-bot
2018
Los entornos relacionados con la robótica y los lenguajes visuales de programación por bloques permiten plantear tareas que pueden ser entendidas como problemas con contenido matemático aptos para edades escolares tempranas. Estos entornos permiten proponer situaciones problemáticas en edades en las que el formalismo o el escaso conocimiento matemático impide a los estudiantes abordar problemas matemáticos más complejos. En este trabajo se da cuenta de cómo el robot programable Bee-bot constituye un dispositivo privilegiado donde poder observar cómo los estudiantes toman decisiones durante el proceso de resolución. The environments related to robotics and the visual block-based programming …
Sull'organizzazione sociale tradizionale dei Borana: Contributo al dibattito
1988
This article deals with the traditional social organization of the Borana, an Oromo-speaking pastoral group of Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia. A special attention is reserved to the political role of four basic institutions: the kinship system, the gadaa system, the hariyaa system and the qaalluu. Cet article concerne l'organisation sociale des Borana, un groupe pastoral de langue Oromo du Kenya septentrional et de l'Ethiopie méridionale. Une attention particulière est portée au rôle politique de quatre institutions fondamentales: le système de parenté, les systèmes gadaa et hariyaa, et le qaalluu.
Managing Human Factors to Reduce Organisational Risk in Industry
2018
[EN] Human factors are intrinsically involved at virtually any level of most industrial/business activities, and may be responsible for several accidents and incidents, if not correctly identified and managed. Focusing on the significance of human behaviour in industry, this article proposes a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM)-based approach to support organizational risk assessment in industrial environments. The decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method is proposed as a mathematical framework to evaluate mutual relationships within a set of human factors involved in industrial processes, with the aim of highlighting priorities of intervention. A case study relat…
