Estimating Missing Information by Cluster Analysis and Normalized Convolution
2018
International audience; Smart city deals with the improvement of their citizens' quality of life. Numerous ad-hoc sensors need to be deployed to know humans' activities as well as the conditions in which these actions take place. Even if these sensors are cheaper and cheaper, their installation and maintenance cost increases rapidly with their number. We propose a methodology to limit the number of sensors to deploy by using a standard clustering technique and the normalized convolution to estimate environmental information whereas sensors are actually missing. In spite of its simplicity, our methodology lets us provide accurate assesses.
La Carta Social Europea y los derechos sociales emergentes: una aproximación al derecho de acceso a la información ambiental
2021
La protección de los derechos sociales constituye, hoy en día, un fin primordial, y en Europa, la Carta Social Europea Revisada juega un papel relevante como guardiana del modelo del Estado social, como verdadera Constitución Social de Europa y como el estándar de protección más elevado de los derechos sociales, en general, y de los derechos sociales emergentes, en particular. Así, resulta de especial interés estudiar el derecho de acceso a la información ambiental como derecho social emergente derivado, en gran parte, del genérico derecho a un medio ambiente sano. Este derecho se puede definir, en términos muy simples, como el derecho del público en general a recibir información relacionad…
Histone-mediated transgenerational epigenetics
2019
Abstract Epigenetic mechanisms operate at the interface between the environment and genome, by converting the environmental stimuli to phenotypic responses through changes in the chromatin landscape, which ultimately affects gene expression in the absence of alterations in DNA sequence. In this scenario, transgenerational inheritance occurs when epigenetic variations induced by environmental stimuli are transmitted through the germ line to succeeding generations that had never experienced those stimuli. There is an ever-growing list of reports indicating that histones are fundamental players in these processes in a variety of organisms. In this chapter, we provide a perspective on histone-d…
