The uses of urban fortresses of Burgundy in the modern times

2011

Study the urban fortresses of Burgundy means interesting in the relationships between, on the one hand, these buildings and their occupants and, on the other hand, the society in which they are located. A city with a castle isn’t necessarily a castral town. The castle can generate, move or expand a city. Its representation also reflects its place in society. The genesis of the city often has consequences throughout the modern times on relationships between the castle and the city. In wartime, the castle can be the ruin or the salvation for the city. In peacetime, it’s most often a dead weight : it must be maintained, sometimes its garnison must be maintained too. But in the dialectic cities…

Word assembly through minimal forbidden words

2006

AbstractWe give a linear-time algorithm to reconstruct a finite word w over a finite alphabet A of constant size starting from a finite set of factors of w verifying a suitable hypothesis. We use combinatorics techniques based on the minimal forbidden words, which have been introduced in previous papers. This improves a previous algorithm which worked under the assumption of stronger hypothesis.

From Nerode's congruence to Suffix Automata with mismatches

2009

AbstractIn this paper we focus on the minimal deterministic finite automaton Sk that recognizes the set of suffixes of a word w up to k errors. As first result we give a characterization of the Nerode’s right-invariant congruence that is associated with Sk. This result generalizes the classical characterization described in [A. Blumer, J. Blumer, D. Haussler, A. Ehrenfeucht, M. Chen, J. Seiferas, The smallest automaton recognizing the subwords of a text, Theoretical Computer Science, 40, 1985, 31–55]. As second result we present an algorithm that makes use of Sk to accept in an efficient way the language of all suffixes of w up to k errors in every window of size r of a text, where r is the…

Association of maternal prenatal smoking GFI1-locus and cardio-metabolic phenotypes in 18,212 adults

2018

Background: DNA methylation at the GFI1-locus has been repeatedly associated with exposure to smoking from the foetal period onwards. We explored whether DNA methylation may be a mechanism that links exposure to maternal prenatal smoking with offspring's adult cardio-metabolic health.Methods: We meta-analysed the association between DNA methylation at GFI1-locus with maternal prenatal smoking, adult own smoking, and cardio-metabolic phenotypes in 22 population-based studies from Europe, Australia, and USA (n= 18,212). DNA methylation at the GFI1-locus was measured in whole-blood. Multivariable regression models were fitted to examine its association with exposure to prenatal and own adult s…

Use of standard and setup of non conventional techniques for the elimination of viruses associated with Fig Mosaic Disease (FMD) in fig germplasm (Fi…

2017

Abstract Ficus carica L. is considered one of the oldest fruit trees in the Mediterranean basin and is widely grown and harvested for the consumption of its fruits dry and fresh. This species is affected by different virus diseases, especially by Fig mosaic disease (FMD), for which Fig leaf mottle-associated virus 1 (FLMaV-1), Fig leaf mottle-associated virus 2 (FLMaV-2), Fig mild mottling-associated virus (FMMaV), Fig mosaic virus (FMV), Fig latent virus 1 (FLV-1), Fig badnavirus 1 (FBV-1) and Fig fleck-associated virus (FFkaV) are associated. FMD is the most widespread disorder of this species, which represents a threat and a constraint for healthy fig production and germplasm exchange. T…

The role of family-related factors in the effects of the UP4FUN school-based family-focused intervention targeting screen time in 10- to 12-year-old …

2014

Background Screen-related behaviours are highly prevalent in schoolchildren. Considering the adverse health effects and the relation of obesity and screen time in childhood, efforts to affect screen use in children are warranted. Parents have been identified as an important influence on children’s screen time and therefore should be involved in prevention programmes. The aim was to examine the mediating role of family-related factors on the effects of the school-based family-focused UP4FUN intervention aimed at screen time in 10- to 12-year-old European children (n child–parent dyads = 1940). Methods A randomised controlled trial was conducted to test the six-week UP4FUN intervention in 10-…

Google reklāmu automātiskā integrācijas platforma

2022

Ikvienam ir iespēja pašam veidot reklāmas, kas parādās Google meklētājā, izmantojot platformu Google Ads (agrāk Google AdWords). Taču šī platforma ir diezgan sarežģīta, tajā jāveic daudz tādu soļu, kas ikdienišķam lietotājam nav nepieciešamas, kā arī jāpievieno savas maksājumu detaļas un jāmaksā regulāri rēķini. Kvalifikācijas darbs ir izstrādāts kā pārvaldāma interneta platforma, kuras mērķis ir nest peļņu tās pārvaldītājam. Platforma piedāvā tās klientiem ātrā un vienkāršā veidā izveidot reklāmas, kas tiks izvietotas Google meklētāja rezultātu sadaļā. Galvenais iemesls platformas lietošanai klientiem ir viegli saprotams un intuitīvs dizains, kā arī iespēja izveidot reklāmas un uzticēt to …

Typing of KIR genes in unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplants: influence of the donor KIR genotype on the outcome of the transplant.

In recent years, the anti-leukemic potential of Natural Killer (NK) cells and their role in hematologic malignancies and in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants (HSCT) has attracted greater interest and a recent study by Cooley S. et al. showed a better clinical outcome when patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia received a transplant from unrelated Group B KIR haplotypes donors. As a consequence of these results, an algorithm called "KIR B-content score" was formulated, based on the number of centromeric and telomeric Group B KIR haplotypes gene-content motifs. The KIR B-content score defines three categories of donors: Neutral donors have none or one KIR B motifs, Better donors have two or m…

Notas a la diacronía y la fraseología de andana y traque

2022

El estudio fraseológico del español carece todavía hoy de una obra lexicográfica en la que sus unidades se vean descritas en su historia. Aunque el DHISFRAES llena parcialmente ese vacío, no pocos trabajos han podido detallar la historia de un número importante de unidades fraseológicas. El presente estudio pretende adherirse a ellos, explorando desde los preceptos de la fraseología histórica las unidades fraseológicas que tienen como núcleo andana y traque, ambas palabras diacríticas.

Computer-Assisted Approaches for Uterine Fibroid Segmentation in MRgFUS Treatments: Quantitative Evaluation and Clinical Feasibility Analysis

2019

Nowadays, uterine fibroids can be treated using Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS), which is a non-invasive therapy exploiting thermal ablation. In order to measure the Non-Perfused Volume (NPV) for treatment response assessment, the ablated fibroid areas (i.e., Region of Treatment, ROT) are manually contoured by a radiologist. The current operator-dependent methodology could affect the subsequent follow-up phases, due to the lack of result repeatability. In addition, this fully manual procedure is time-consuming, considerably increasing execution times. These critical issues can be addressed only by means of accurate and efficient automated Pattern Recognition ap…
