Category, Measure, Inductive Inference: A Triality Theorem and Its Applications

2002

The famous Sierpinski-Erdos Duality Theorem [Sie34b, Erd43] states, informally, that any theorem about effective measure 0 and/or first category sets is also true when all occurrences of "effective measure 0" are replaced by "first category" and vice versa. This powerful and nice result shows that "measure" and "category" are equally useful notions neither of which can be preferred to the other one when making formal the intuitive notion "almost all sets." Effective versions of measure and category are used in recursive function theory and related areas, and resource-bounded versions of the same notions are used in Theory of Computation. Again they are dual in the same sense.We show that in…

On a generalization of Goguen's category Set(L)

2007

The paper considers a category which generalizes Goguen's category Set(L) of L-fuzzy sets with a fixed basis L. We show the necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized category to be a quasitopos and consider additional inner structure supplied by the latter property.

Some remarks on the category SET(L), part III

2004

This paper considers the category SET(L) of L-subsets of sets with a fixed basis L and is a continuation of our previous investigation of this category. Here we study its general properties (e.g., we derive that the category is a topological construct) as well as some of its special objects and morphisms.

Dirichlet Forms, Poincaré Inequalities, and the Sobolev Spaces of Korevaar and Schoen

2004

We answer a question of Jost on the validity of Poincare inequalities for metric space-valued functions in a Dirichlet domain. We also investigate the relationship between Dirichlet domains and the Sobolev-type spaces introduced by Korevaar and Schoen.

Context Trees, Variable Length Markov Chains and Dynamical Sources

2012

Infinite random sequences of letters can be viewed as stochastic chains or as strings produced by a source, in the sense of information theory. The relationship between Variable Length Markov Chains (VLMC) and probabilistic dynamical sources is studied. We establish a probabilistic frame for context trees and VLMC and we prove that any VLMC is a dynamical source for which we explicitly build the mapping. On two examples, the "comb" and the "bamboo blossom", we find a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence and the uniqueness of a stationary probability measure for the VLMC. These two examples are detailed in order to provide the associated Dirichlet series as well as the genera…

A resilient distributed measurement system for smart grid application

2020

Since the production of energy from renewable energy sources is strongly increasing, the migration from the classical electric grid toward the smart grid is becoming a reality. Distribution System Operators, along with the control of the entire network and its stability, need to address the security and the reliability of the communication channels and the data itself. In this paper a solution is proposed to address these issues. It is based on a distributed measurement system that relies on a wireless network as well as a redundant Power Line communication system in order to transfer the electrical measures to a centralized SCADA server. The collected data are used to run a power flow algo…

Effects of Canopy Gap Disturbance on Forest Birds in Boreal Forests

2013

We studied the effects of small-scale disturbance on breeding, forest passerine birds in an old-growth and managed boreal forests in northern Finland. Small-scale disturbance (< 2 ha) in an old-growth and managed forests originated from wind falls and small clear cuts. Continuous forest without gaps was used as a control for both management types (old-growth and managed forests). Passerines' response to disturbance was examined by estimating species richness and abundance of different ecological groups. Species richness and the total abundance of birds did not differ between gap and non-gap plots, neither did the abundance of most ecological groups. Management type or study year were the mo…

Plankton biodiversity in a landscape of shallow water bodies (Mediterranean coast, Spain)

2003

A large spatial heterogeneity was detected in La Safor, a coastal area with different kinds of small and shallow water bodies. The area exhibits a sharp gradient in eutrophication (0.004–20 mgP l−1; 0.6–457 μg Chl a l−1) and varied water body features (morphology: size, depth; hydrology; vegetation, etc.). These factors result in a high diversity of aquatic habitats within the area. One hundred and twenty eight species of microalgae were identified in the 32 sampling stations studied (in the wet and dry periods). The phytoplankton richness varied between 1 and 21 species, the Shannon-Wiener index range was 0–3 bits, the index of floral originality (IFO) range was 0.1 – 0.6. A total number o…

2018

OBIETTIVO. Questo articolo fornisce una descrizione sintetica degli strumenti di valutazione del dolore acuto e cronico nei soggetti con sindrome di Down, indipendentemente dalla loro età e grado di deterioramento cognitivo. METODI. È stata realizzata una revisione narrativa della letteratura, ricercando tutti gli strumenti di valutazione del dolore nella popolazione con sindrome di Down, utilizzando database diversi, quali PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science (ISI) e Cochrane, senza limiti di tempo e pubblicati fino al mese di Ottobre 2017. Sono stati inclusi tutti gli strumenti validati applicabili ai soggetti con di sindrome di Down pubblicati sia in lingua inglese che italiana. Studi …
