Multi-Resource Management for Multi-Tier Space Information Networks: A Cooperative Game
2019
With the drastic increase of space information network (SIN) traffic and the diversity of network traffic types, the optimal allocation of the scarce network resources is of great significance for optimizing the SIN system capability. In this paper, we propose a multi-resource management method for multi-tier SIN using the cooperative Nash bargaining solution. Since the original problem is a non-convex problem, we firstly make logarithmic transition, and then find a tightest lower bound function to convert the initial problem into a convex one. In order to carry out the optimal bandwidth and power allocation in SIN, we construct a joint bandwidth and power allocation (JBPA) algorithm. Simul…

Beratung beim Extensiven Lesen im DaF-Unterricht

The following paper examines, from a multimodal perspective, a counseling sequence between a teacher and a student in the tenth grade at an Italian high school during a lesson of Extensive Reading in German as a foreign language. After an overview of the state of research on counseling during the lesson and a description of the function of counseling in extensive reading, there follows the presentation of the methodological procedure for the analysis. Analysis of the subsequent interaction aims to reveal multimodal patterns of action in the development of the counseling discourse, thus to encourage a reflection on the role of counseling in extensive reading and, subsequently, in the context…
Cost-benefit analysis: A comparison between conventional and organic olive growing in the Mediterranean Area
2015
The conversion from conventional to organic management of olive growing has many benefits, such as increase of biodiversity, reduction of soil erosion and lower environmental impact. Since olive represents a main crop in the Mediterranean area, from a social, economic as well as environmental point of view, the aim of this paper has been to determine if the conversion from conventional to organic olive growing can increase the profitability of the farmer in Sicilian farms. Economic analysis has been carried out by means of cost-benefit analysis and financial indicators (NPV, B0/C0, IRR) show that organic growing would allow a better profitability for organic olive farms respect to conventio…
Soil carbon quality and nitrogen fertilization structure bacterial communities with predictable responses of major bacterial phyla
2014
Abstract Agricultural practices affect the soil ecosystem in multiple ways and the soil microbial communities represent an integrated and dynamic measure of soil status. Our aim was to test whether the soil bacterial community and the relative abundance of major bacterial phyla responded predictably to long-term organic amendments representing different carbon qualities (peat and straw) in combination with nitrogen fertilization levels and if certain bacterial groups were indicative of specific treatments. We hypothesized that the long-term treatments had created distinctly different ecological niches for soil bacteria, suitable for either fast-growing copiotrophic bacteria, or slow-growing…
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…
Piecpadsmitās grupas metālu halkogenīdu plāno kārtiņu sintēze, fizikālo īpašību raksturojums un pielietojums termoelektriskās ierīcēs
2019
Termoelektriskie ģeneratori ir ierīces, kuras, pastāvot temperatūras gradientam, spēj ražot elektrisko strāvu. Jeb vienkāršiem vārdiem sakot, šīs ierīces siltumu pārvērš elektrībā. Tas ir ērts veids, kā nelietderīgi radušos siltumu jebkuros citos procesos pārveidot vēlamā elektriskajā enerģijā. Taču mūsdienās šādas ietaises ir reti sastopamas to zemās lietderības un citu faktoru dēļ. Termoelektriskie ģeneratori visbiežāk sastāv no atsevišķu n un p tipa pusvadītāju elementu dažādiem slēgumiem, lai pēc nepieciešamības palielinātu izejas strāvu un spriegumu. Šajā gadījumā tiek apskatīts n tipa bismuta selenīda un p tipa antimona telurīda virknes slēgums dažādās konfigurācijās attiecībā pret te…
Ambulatory Glucose Profile Applied to Flash Glucose Monitoring in Real Life: An Expert Opinion.
2016
The clinical benefits of real time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) use have been well demonstrated in both CSII- and MDI-treated individuals in large clinical trials. However, recommendations for patient use of rtCGM in everyday life situations are lacking. This article provides guidance to clinicians and patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in effective use of rtCGM data, including glucose rate of change (ROC) arrows, for insulin dosing adjustments and other treatment decisions. The recommendations presented here are based on our own clinical experiences as endocrinologists, our personal experiences living with T1D using rtCGM, and findings from a recent survey of T1D patients who hav…
