Memory Resource Management for Real-Time Systems
2007
Dynamic memory storage has been widely used for years in computer science. However, its use in real-time systems has not been considered as an important issue, and memory management has not receive much consideration, whereas today's real-time applications are often characterized by highly fluctuating memory requirements. In this paper we present an approach to dynamic memory management for real-time systems. In response to application behavior and requests, the underlying memory management system adjusts resources to meet changing demands and user needs. The architectural framework that realizes this approach allows adaptive allocation of memory resources to applications involving both per…
Literacy and literacy practices: Plurilingual connected migrants and emerging literacy
2021
Abstract Recent migration towards Europe is characterized by the massive presence of adults whose educational paths have been interrupted and who are thus developing literacy for the first time in a new language. A literacy test elaborated at the University of Palermo, Italy, showed that, on a sample of 774 migrants, about 30 percent could not read and/or write short words. This test assessed the learners’ abilities to read and write, whether in the Roman alphabet or in other writing systems, and whether in Italian or in other languages of learners’ repertoires. These learners with emergent literacy mostly came from sub-Saharan Africa, an area characterized by diverse forms of multilinguali…
Querying Dynamic and Context-Sensitive Metadata in Semantic Web
2005
RDF (core Semantic Web standard) is not originally appropriate for context representation, because of its initial focus on the ordinary Web resources, such as web pages, files, databases, services, etc., which structure and content are more or less stable. However, on the other hand, emerging industrial applications consider e.g. machines, processes, personnel, services for condition monitoring, remote diagnostics and maintenance, etc. to be specific classes of Web resources and thus a subject for semantic annotation. Such resources are naturally dynamic, not only from the point of view of changing values for some attributes (state of resource), but also from the point of view of changing “…
Improving the resilience to drought of the Apulian water resources system – an hydroeconomic model
2015
The paper presents a hydro-economic model of the Apulian water resources system, in southern Italy, i.e. a mathematical programming model of the allocations explicitly accounting for the different values of water and for hydrological variability at the appropriate time scale. Traditionally a water-scarce region, Apulia is now supplied by extra-regional regulated surface resources as well as by a coastal aquifer; altogether, they constitute a multipurpose system with conflicting uses: municipal, irrigation and, to a lesser extent, industrial supply. The system is at present affected by high streamflow variability and by a high level of water losses along the urban distribution networks. In t…
La igualdad de recursos de Ronald Dworkin: ¿una concepción fallida? | Dworkin’s Equality of Resources, a failed account?
2014
Resumen: Este artículo analiza la igualdad de recursos planteada por Ronald Dworkin. Sostiene que la propuesta es exitosa a la hora de mostrar que, bien entendida, la responsabilidad individual justifica un estado del bienestar más generoso que los que tenemos pero que no consigue identificar adecuadamente instituciones que la satisfagan adecuadamente. Dworkin no resuelve bien las objeciones que cuestionan la capacidad de su propuesta para generar resultados que sean fieles a la intuición que la motiva. Su respuesta hace depender el éxito de la implementación de su teoría de circunstancias que pueden no darse en la realidad. Abstract: This article examines Ronald Dworkin’s equality of res…
Dynamic Membranes for Enhancing Resources Recovery from Municipal Wastewater
2022
[EN] This paper studied the feasibility of using dynamic membranes (DMs) to treat municipal wastewater (MWW). Effluent from the primary settler of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant was treated using a flat 1 mu m pore size open monofilament polyamide woven mesh as supporting material. Two supporting material layers were required to self-form a DM in the short-term (17 days of operation). Different strategies (increasing the filtration flux, increasing the concentration of operating solids and coagulant dosing) were used to enhance the required forming time and pollutant capture efficiency. Higher permeate flux and increased solids were shown to be ineffective while coagulant dosing sh…
Disleksija, kā skolēni ar disleksiju var labāk mācīties skolā
2021
Šī maģistra darba mērķis ir definēt disleksiju, noteikt disleksijas raksturīgās iezīmes, izglītot skolotājus, lai viņi ikdienā saskartos ar skolēniem, kuriem ir šāds traucējums, spētu palīdzēt viņiem mācību procesā un, galvenokārt, paaugstināt viņu pašcieņu, un likt viņiem justies apmierinātiem ar sevi, izmantojot mūsdienās pieejamos tehnoloģiskos resursus. Šim nolūkam tika izmantota racionāla metode. Pētījuma dalībniece ir 12 gadus veica meitene no Limas, kas atrodas Perū, un viņas skolotāji, kuri tika konsultēti un atbalstīti. Šai meitenei nesen tika diagnosticēta disleksija. Iepriekš tika noteiktas vairākas nepareizas diagnozes. Rezultātā svarīgi bija izprast viņas vājās un stiprās puses…
E-Learning Experiences in La Ribera Health Department
2014
This paper shows how the training of health professionals is improving thanks to the use of new technologies, in particular e-learning. This type of technology is widely used in medical education and there are multiple research works that report its effective deployment by health professionals and students. However, there is a need to incorporate e-learning platforms and online methods in healthcare organizations through a systematic and rigorous approach what is proposed in the current work. This approach has been applied since 2009 in the context of La Ribera Health Department implementing a high number of e-learning experiences. The obtained outcomes reveal how useful have been these exp…
Problemas en la estimación y en el contraste de los rendimientos anormales a largo plazo: Estado de la cuestión
2002
-Jose.E.Farinos@uv.es -Ana.M.Ibanez@uv.es El paradigma de la eficiencia ha sido puesto en entredicho en las últimas décadas como consecuencia de la obtención de rendimientos anormales, estadística y económicamente significativos, durante amplios periodos de tiempo tras algunas importantes decisiones empresariales. No obstante, los problemas conceptuales y estadísticos que presenta la medición y contrastación de los rendimientos anormales a largo plazo ha supuesto que la evidencia obtenida pase a calificarse como anomalía. Dada la escasa proliferación de este tipo de estudios en nuestro mercado y el desafortunado desarrollo de algunos de los existentes, en este trabajo presentamos estos prob…
La inseparabilidad y el grado de adaptación como determinantes de la internacionalización de las empresas de servicios
2005
-Esther.Sanchez@uv.es -Jose.Pla@uv.es La mayor parte de enfoques teóricos de internacionalización han surgido en el marco del sector industrial y, por tanto, algunas explicaciones podrían no ser generalizables al sector servicios en su globalidad. Por ello, las características sectoriales deben ser tenidas en cuenta en el análisis de los modos de entrada de las empresas de servicios, ya que es posible encontrar patrones de comportamiento muy diferentes no sólo con respecto a las empresas industriales sino también entre las propias empresas de servicios. En este trabajo se proponen la inseparabilidad de los servicios y el grado de adaptación a las necesidades del cliente como dimensiones cla…
