Design in education and training
2019
Based on interviews with innovative companies in the education and training sector, this article studies the processes by which these companies innovate. The observations focus on the positioning of innovative companies in the field of education, the constraints that structure them, the processes implemented in the deployment of services and products, and the organization of communication on design. The results of the lexicometric analysis contribute to describing an episteme of contemporary design that both structures and limits the work of designers. This episteme partly reverses the Taylorist episteme of industrial design while retaining some of its characteristics. In particular, the hu…
Design in education and training
2019
À partir d’entretiens réalisés auprès d’entreprises innovantes du secteur de l’éducation et de la formation, cet article étudie les processus par lesquels ces entreprises innovent. Les observations portent sur le positionnement des entreprises innovantes dans le champ de l’éducation, les contraintes qui les structurent, les processus mis en œuvre dans le déploiement des services et produits, et l’organisation de la communication sur le design. Les résultats de l’analyse lexicométrique contribuent à décrire une épistémè du design innovant qui à la fois structure et limite le travail des designers. Celle-ci renverse en partie l’épistémè tayloriste du design industriel tout en héritant de cert…
A CUDA-based implementation of an improved SPH method on GPU
2021
We present a CUDA-based parallel implementation on GPU architecture of a modified version of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. This modified formulation exploits a strategy based on the Taylor series expansion, which simultaneously improves the approximation of a function and its derivatives with respect to the standard formulation. The improvement in accuracy comes at the cost of an additional computational effort. The computational demand becomes increasingly crucial as problem size increases but can be addressed by employing fast summations in a parallel computational scheme. The experimental analysis showed that our parallel implementation significantly reduces the runti…
Itsessään arvokkaan rajoista : itsessään arvokkaasta, ihmiskeskeisyydestä ja ristiriitatilanteista Tom Reganin ja Paul Taylorin ajattelussa
2014
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella Tom Reganin teoriaa itseisarvoisista olennoista ja tilanteista, joissa itseisarvoista olentoa onkin esimerkiksi hyväksyttävää vahingoittaa. Reganin teoriaa tarkastellaan sekä itseisarvolle asetettujen kriteerien mahdollisen ihmiskeskeisyyden että ristiriitatilanteiden ratkaisukeinojen kautta (ristiriitatilanteella viitataan tilanteeseen, jossa joudumme asettamaan vastakkain esimerkiksi kahden yhtäläisen arvokkaan yksilön yhtäläisen hyvinvoinnin). Reganin teorian vastapainona toimii Paul Taylorin ympäristöeettinen teoria, sillä Reganin eritellessä tietyt karkeat kriteerit "oman elämänsä subjekteiksi" kutsumilleen yksilöille, jotka ovat varmuudella its…
Posibilidad de un individualismo holista. Consideraciones hermenéuticas sobre el individualismo moderno desde la filosofía de Charles Taylor
2010
The aim of this essay is to argue against the atomistic conception of man that underlies much of modern philosophy and to support, in contrast, a hermeneutical approach that makes possible to defend a holistic individualism. For this, starting from the distinction of Charles Taylor between «ontological issues» and «advocacy issues», I am going to focus on the presuppositions of individualism. What does holistic individualism mean? Thus, I try to clarify whether it is possible to defend such holistic individualism, and what advantages in terms of irreducible social goods and significative freedom brings for the articulation and development of the individual and modern society.<br><b…
Partial data inverse problems and simultaneous recovery of boundary and coefficients for semilinear elliptic equations
2021
We study various partial data inverse boundary value problems for the semilinear elliptic equation $\Delta u+ a(x,u)=0$ in a domain in $\mathbb R^n$ by using the higher order linearization technique introduced in [LLS 19, FO19]. We show that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the above equation determines the Taylor series of $a(x,z)$ at $z=0$ under general assumptions on $a(x,z)$. The determination of the Taylor series can be done in parallel with the detection of an unknown cavity inside the domain or an unknown part of the boundary of the domain. The method relies on the solution of the linearized partial data Calder\'on problem [FKSU09], and implies the solution of partial data problems fo…
Taylorism on steroids or enabling autonomy? A systematic review of algorithmic management
2023
AbstractThe use of algorithmic management systems is rapidly changing organizational models and practices, as millions of workers in multiple sectors worldwide are managed by computer software. Despite receiving increasing academic interest, little summarizing literature exist on the ways algorithmic systems are used in management. This article aims to fill this gap by systematically reviewing and qualitatively analyzing 172 articles on the topic. Our research contributes to the existent algorithmic management literature in three ways. First, we provide a descriptive overview of algorithmic management as a field of research. Second, we identify and synthesize the discussion on the key conce…
Rayleigh-instability-driven dewetting of thin Au and Ag films on indium-tin-oxide surface under nanosecond laser irradiations
2013
Investigations have been carried out on laser-beam-induced nanoparticle (NP) formation in thin (5 nm) Au and Ag films on indium-tin-oxide substrate. After the irradiation the films were observed to break-up into NPs through a dewetting mechanism. This mechanism was investigated as a Rayleigh-instability- driven process. In fact, for each used laser fluence, the resulting Au and Ag NPs' mean size and surface-to-surface mean distance were quantified and correlated between them in the framework of the Rayleigh-instability theory showing an excellent agreement. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2013.

Tube transport of water vapor with condensation and desorption
2013
Attenuation and delay of active tracers in tube transport is an important current problem, but its full explanation is still lacking. To this end a model is introduced, where part of a tracer undergoes condensation and evaporation, treated as a diffusion-type process, in addition to Taylor dispersion. Condensation of water was verified by high-speed imaging, and the model solution fitted the breakthrough curves of laboratory measurements with pulses of water vapor of varying relative humidity. The model provides a transfer function whose performance was verified against field measurements. peerReviewed
