Modeling of female human body shapes for apparel design based on cross mean sets
2014
This paper is concerned with a method to build prototypes of human bodies that can be used for apparel design. One of the most important issues in the apparel development process is to define a sizing system to provide a good fitting for the majority of the population. Since anthropometric measures do not present the same linear growth with size in each dimension, it is very important to find a prototype that represents as accurately as possible each class in the sizing system. In this paper we propose a method based on the concept of random compact mean set to define prototypes in apparel design. From a cloud of 3D points obtained with a 3D scanner a solid that represents the human body is…
EMERGING PROPERTIES IN POPULATION DYNAMICS WITH DIFFERENT TIME SCALES
1995
The aim of this work is to show that at the population level, emerging properties may occur as a result of the coupling between the fast micro-dynamics and the slow macrodynamics. We studied a prey-predator system with different time scales in a heterogeneous environment. A fast time scale is associated to the migration process on spatial patches and a slow time scale is associated to the growth and the interactions between the species. Preys go on the spatial patches on which some resources are located and can be caught by the predators on them. The efficiency of the predators to catch preys is patch-dependent. Preys can be more easily caught on some spatial patches than others. Perturbat…
The Level of Mortality in Insured Populations
2018
In the actuarial field, life tables are used in reserving and pricing processes. They are commonly built from aggregate data and incorporate margins as a prudent measure to ensure the insurance company’s viability. Solvency II requires insurance companies to calculate technical provisions using best-estimate assumptions for future experience (mortality, expenses, lapses, etc) to separate (i) the risk-free component from (ii) adverse deviation of claims. Nowadays, however, the methods used by insurance companies (in most countries, included Spain) do not guarantee that these components can be separated. Many companies build their own tables from general insured population life tables, assumi…
Bounded Rationality for “Just In Time” Education
2011
Abstract If you cannot get answers keep putting questions The paper has three targets: a) Taken per se , it advances the research presented in a series of seven papers about education in a post-industrial (i.e., service-oriented) society broadening the scope from engineering to any kind of education reachable through reachable through permanent endeavour. b) Regarded as part of a “EU 2020 research cluster” with the aim to pro pose affordable approaches to education for sustainable development, the paper reveals bounded rationality (BR) as common denominator of, mechanism for, and connection between the two facets of permanent education: e- teaching and e- learning , the research aiming to m…
Darba aizsardzības sistēma uzņēmumā "X" un pilnveides iespējas tā noliktavā
2022
“Darba aizsardzības sistēma uzņēmuma “X” un pilnveides iespējas tā noliktavā”. Darba autore: Eva Roze. Darba zinātniskais vadītājs: Dr. ķīm., docents Ingars Reinholds. Darbs izklāstīts uz 39 lpp., tas ietver 9 attēlus, 5 tabulas, 3 pielikumus, 19 informatīvos avotus. Pētījums sastāv no 3 daļām. Pirmajā daļā ir apkopota un analizēta literatūra par būtiskākajiem noliktavu darbā. Literatūras analīze uzrāda, ka noliktavu darbinieki ir pakļauti galvenokārt ergonomiskajiem un fizikālajiem riska faktoriem. Otrajā daļā ir aprakstītas pētījuma metodes, bet trešajā analizēti iegūtie rezultāti. Noteikts, ka apgaismojuma indikatīvo mērījumu rezultāti atbilst IV riska pakāpei (nozīmīgs risks), fiziskā s…
E-tutoring nella didattica telematica. Pratiche di modellamento.
2021
Il lavoro si propone di delineare quali evoluzioni la figura dell'e-tutor stia attraversando nel contesto della didattica telematica alla luce dei cambiamenti che i media digitali e sociali introducono (Rivoltella, 2017; Ferrari, 2019). Resta fondamentale la dimensione comunicativa su cui tale ruolo si basa (Rivoltella, 2006), che evidenzia la necessità di competenze di moderazione online, allestimento di gestione dei gruppi e animazione di online communities.All'e-tutor, in particolare, è richiesta consapevolezza sull'attività di modellamento che svolge nei confronti dei corsisti attraverso le sue attività comunicative e didattiche (interattive e…
deaR-Shiny: An Interactive Web App for Data Envelopment Analysis
2021
In this paper, we describe an interactive web application (deaR-shiny) to measure efficiency and productivity using data envelopment analysis (DEA). deaR-shiny aims to fill the gap that currently exists in the availability of online DEA software offering practitioners and researchers free access to a very wide variety of DEA models (both conventional and fuzzy models). We illustrate how to use the web app by replicating the main results obtained by Carlucci, Cirà and Coccorese in 2018, who investigate the efficiency and economic sustainability of Italian regional airport by using two conventional DEA models, and the results given by Kao and Liu in their papers published in 2000 and 2003, wh…
Migrating from a Centralized Data Warehouse to a Decentralized Data Platform Architecture
2021
To an increasing degree, data is a driving force for digitization, and hence also a key asset for numerous companies. In many businesses, various sources of data exist, which are isolated from one another in different domains, across a heterogeneous application landscape. Well-known centralized solution technologies, such as data warehouses and data lakes, exist to integrate data into one system, but they do not always scale well. Therefore, robust and decentralized ways to manage data can provide the companies with better value give companies a competitive edge over a single central repository. In this paper, we address why and when a monolithic data storage should be decentralized for imp…
Mining Customer Requirement from Helpful Online Reviews
2014
Today there are a huge quantity of online reviews available across different categories of products. The key question is how to select helpful online reviews and what can we learn from the abundant reviews. In this paper, we first conclude five categories of features to predict reviews' helpfulness from the perspective of a product designer and then present an approach based on conjoint analysis to measure customer requirement. The suggested approach are demonstrated using product data from a popular Chinese mobile phone market.
Why do we reject the wisdom from the past? Reflections on the practical dimension of values in historical education
2020
W czasach szybkich zmian i dużej ilości informacji wiele osób, zwłaszcza młodych, nie przywiązuje większej wagi do przeszłości. Dzieje się tak pomimo, że edukacja historyczna rozwija intelektualnie i duchowo, budując tożsamość jednostki i narodu oraz pomagając zrozumieć problemy teraźniejszości. Edukacja historyczna to zbiór wielu czynników, które generalnie wiążą się z wykorzystywaniem osiągnięć naszych przodków oraz ewolucją ich postaw. W edukacji historycznej wartości te zajmują ważne miejsce. Historia pozwala nam zrozumieć zachowanie innych ludzi, ich emocje i potrzeby. W historii bardzo ważne jest przestrzeganie norm i zasad tolerancji oraz demokracji. Wartości edukacji historycznej bu…
