Effective charge from lattice QCD
2020
Using lattice configurations for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) generated with three domain-wall fermions at a physical pion mass, we obtain a parameter-free prediction of QCD's renormalisation-group-invariant process-independent effective charge, $\hat\alpha(k^2)$. Owing to the dynamical breaking of scale invariance, evident in the emergence of a gluon mass-scale, this coupling saturates at infrared momenta: $\hat\alpha(0)/\pi=0.97(4)$. Amongst other things: $\hat\alpha(k^2)$ is almost identical to the process-dependent (PD) effective charge defined via the Bjorken sum rule; and also that PD charge which, employed in the one-loop evolution equations, delivers agreement between pion parton di…
Il futuro del costituzionalismo (se il costituzionalismo ha un futuro)
2022
Il costituzionalismo è in crisi? Se con questa ci riferiamo soltanto a un discorso giuridico improntato al linguaggio dei diritti e a un certo assetto tra poteri che valorizza il potere giudiziario a discapito del legislativo e dell’esecutivo, allora non si può che rispondere negativamente. Se invece consideriamo parte integrante del costituzionalismo l’individualismo di matrice illuminista e la convinzione che esista uno zoccolo duro di valori morali universalmente condivisi sui quali edificare un futuro di pace e prosperità dell’umanità, allora è difficile negare la crisi del costituzionalismo. Is constitutionalism in crisis? If by ‘constitutionalism’ we only refer to a legal discourse gr…
Reguły działania a argumentacja
2016
Argumentacja niemonotoniczna ma być blisko rozumowań praktycznych i zdroworozsądkowych: wykonawcy czynności (agenci) opracowują plany działań i starają się plany te wykonać; często jednak są pozbawieni pełnego opisu sytuacji, ich wiedza jest cząstkowa, czynią założenia i podejmują decyzje oraz działania, w tym działania słowne, polegając na własnym doświadczeniu i nawykach. Powstające formalne struktury obejmują tzw. cyrkumskrypcje (circumscriptions), logikę domyśleń (default logic), logikę autoepistemiczną (autoepistemic logic), konsekwencje kumulatywne (cumulative consequences) i szereg innych. Można wyodrębnić dwa główne typy systemów rozumowań niemonotonicznych: systemy defi niowalne po…
VEBO: Validation of E-R diagrams through ontologies and WordNet
2012
In the semantic web vision, ontologies are building blocks for providing applications with a high level description of the operating environment in support of interoperability and semantic capabilities. The importance of ontologies in this respect is clearly stated in many works. Another crucial issue to increase the semantic aspect of web is to enrich the level of expressivity of database related data. Nowadays, databases are the primary source of information for dynamical web sites. The linguistic data used to build the database structure could be relevant for extracting meaningful information. In most cases, this type of information is not used for information retrieval. The work present…

The peculiarities of genetic structure of the Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei population in Lithuania
2014
In 2010, samples of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei both in sporulation and cleistothecia were collected in Lithuania from spring barley variety ‘Dina’. Eighty monopustule isolates were tested on differentials with well-known resistance genes. Frequencies of virulence genes, virulence complexity and pathotypes were detected. Virulence frequencies showed a wide range from 0 to 90%. The clear tendency of virulence increasing for Vla in cleistothecia was observed during the growing season of the pathogen. No virulences were found against resistances, which were present in the line SI1, as well as no matching virulence was found for the resistance gene mlo in Lithuania in 2010. Wide diversity o…
Evidence that water transmits Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 infections to eels
1995
Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 is classically considered an obligate eel pathogen. However, it has recently been associated with one human septicemic case. In this paper, the opportunistic behavior of this pathogen is discussed. The bacterium can survive alone in brackish water or attached to eel surfaces for at least 14 days. It is able to spread through water and infect healthy eels by using skin as a portal of entry. These results suggest that water and infected eels may act as reservoirs of infection. A capsule seems to be essential for waterborne infectivity, which would explain why cells recovered from naturally diseased eels give rise to pure cultures of opaque colonies. The spread of t…
A common virulence plasmid in biotype 2 Vibrio vulnificus and its dissemination aided by a conjugal plasmid.
2007
ABSTRACT Strains of Vibrio vulnificus , a marine bacterial species pathogenic for humans and eels, are divided into three biotypes, and those virulent for eels are classified as biotype 2. All biotype 2 strains possess one or more plasmids, which have been shown to harbor the biotype 2-specific DNA sequences. In this study we determined the DNA sequences of three biotype 2 plasmids: pR99 (68.4 kbp) in strain CECT4999 and pC4602-1 (56.6 kb) and pC4602-2 (66.9 kb) in strain CECT4602. Plasmid pC4602-2 showed 92% sequence identity with pR99. Curing of pR99 from strain CECT4999 resulted in loss of resistance to eel serum and virulence for eels but had no effect on the virulence for mice, an anim…
Family law, religious marriage and sharia courts in western societies.
2019
The chapter analyses the way in which religious marriages and sharia courts interface with State's legal orders in some European countries, focusing on limping marriages and split of status, which derive by the existence of different and pall legal orders: the major, based on the principle of territoriality of the law, and the minor, organized on the personality of the law.
Machine learning for mortality analysis in patients with COVID-19
2020
This paper analyzes a sample of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the region of Madrid (Spain). Survival analysis, logistic regression, and machine learning techniques (both supervised and unsupervised) are applied to carry out the analysis where the endpoint variable is the reason for hospital discharge (home or deceased). The different methods applied show the importance of variables such as age, O2 saturation at Emergency Rooms (ER), and whether the patient comes from a nursing home. In addition, biclustering is used to globally analyze the patient-drug dataset, extracting segments of patients. We highlight the validity of the classifiers developed to predict the mortality, reaching…
