An Introduction: "to train and to be trained"
2020
The chapter describes the training model of "Experts in proximity violence and its two main features: 1. the identification of training goals capable of providing specific tools, methods and skills; 2. the creation of a training-course prototype capable of integrating the proposed objectives and the relevant contents in terms of professional spendability.
Ensemble Feature Selection Based on the Contextual Merit
2001
Recent research has proved the benefits of using ensembles of classifiers for classification problems. Ensembles constructed by machine learning methods manipulating the training set are used to create diverse sets of accurate classifiers. Different feature selection techniques based on applying different heuristics for generating base classifiers can be adjusted to specific domain characteristics. In this paper we consider and experiment with the contextual feature merit measure as a feature selection heuristic. We use the diversity of an ensemble as evaluation function in our new algorithm with a refinement cycle. We have evaluated our algorithm on seven data sets from UCI. The experiment…
When a virus (Covid-19) attacks human rights: The situation of asylum seekers in the medico-legal setting
2020
The Covid-19 pandemic is a global health emergency that requires immediate, effective action by governments to protect the health and basic human rights of everyone’s life. Refugees and migrants are potentially at increased risk because they typically live in overcrowded conditions often without access to basic sanitation. Since the beginning of the official lockdown for Covid-19, the medico-legal assessment of physical violence related to obtaining status or other forms of human protection has been frozen.
First mass measurement at JYFLTRAP
2004
The first mass measurements at JYFLTRAP facility are reviewed. Those are also first ever direct mass measurements of the heaviest Zr-isotopes. Results are compared to atomic mass evaluation data and the recent calculations. The first TOF-resonances from high-precision trap and an implication to high-precision mass measurements are discussed.
Optimization Strategy of Novel Peptide-Based Michael Acceptors for the Treatment of Human African Trypanosomiasis
2019
This paper describes an optimization strategy of the highly active vinyl ketone 3 which was recognized as a strong inhibitor of rhodesain of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, endowed with a ksecond v...
Structure-based engineering of strictosidine synthase: auxiliary for alkaloid libraries.
2007
SummaryThe highly substrate-specific strictosidine synthase (EC 4.3.3.2) catalyzes the biological Pictet-Spengler condensation between tryptamine and secologanin, leading to the synthesis of about 2000 monoterpenoid indole alkaloids in higher plants. The crystal structure of Rauvolfia serpentina strictosidine synthase (STR1) in complex with strictosidine has been elucidated here, allowing the rational site-directed mutation of the active center of STR1 and resulting in modulation of its substrate acceptance. Here, we report on the rational redesign of STR1 by generation of a Val208Ala mutant, further describing the influence on substrate acceptance and the enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of 10-m…
Evaluation and Accreditation System of External Internship Tutors - SEATPE
2020
La Universidad de Valencia ha implementado desde 2012 un Sistema de Evaluación y Acreditación de Tutores de Pasantías Externas (SEATPE) a través de su Fundación Universidad-Empresa, ADEIT, bajo la dirección del Vicerrector de Empleo y Programas Formativos. Los objetivos principales de este sistema son mejorar la calidad de la tutoría de pasantías externas implementando mecanismos para reconocer el buen trabajo de los tutores y aumentar el compromiso de las empresas y entidades con la capacitación práctica de nuestros estudiantes. Está dirigido a los dos perfiles de tutores: académicos y empresas. Los tutores que acceden al SEATPE obtienen una "Mención de calidad" en el caso del tutor académ…
Morphometrics of Second Iron Age ceramics - strengths, weaknesses, and comparison with traditional typology.
2014
12 pages; International audience; Although the potential of geometric morphometrics for the study of archaeological artefacts is recognised, quantitative evaluations of the concordance between such methods and traditional typology are rare. The present work seeks to fill this gap, using as a case study a corpus of 154 complete ceramic vessels from the Bibracte oppidum (France), the capital of the Celtic tribe Aedui from the Second Iron Age. Two outline-based approaches were selected: the Elliptic Fourier Analysis and the Discrete Cosine Transform. They were combined with numerous methods of standardisation/normalisation. Although standardisations may use either perimeter or surface, the res…
Profiling Major Sport Event Visitors: The 2002 Commonwealth Games
2007
It has become common practice for governments and municipalities around the world to bid for the right to host a major sporting event. Prior to embarking on the bidding process, politicians attempt to determine whether such an event will be of value to their municipality; and often focus on the estimated economic consequences of hosting such an event. Frequently, studies are commissioned to predict the event's economic value. However, these studies often miscalculate the potential impact of sport event visitors as consumers. We argue that enhanced profiling of these visitors will enable a more accurate assessment of economic impact. The current research surveys 1,196 spectators of the 2002 …
Framework for Evaluating the Version Management Capabilities of a Class of UML Modeling Tools from the Viewpoint of Multi-site, Multi-partner Product…
2009
UML models are widely used in software product line engineering for activities such as modeling the software product line reference architecture, detailed design, and automation of software code generation and testing. But in high-tech companies, modeling activities are typically distributed across multiple sites and involve multiple partners in different countries, thus complicating model management. Today’s UML modeling tools support sophisticated version management for managing parallel and distributed modeling. However, the literature does not provide a comprehensive set of industrial-level criteria to evaluate the version management capabilities of UML tools. This article’s contributio…
