Nouvelles technologies et aide à la compréhension de documents techniques : Construction et expérimentation d'un simulateur de fonctionnement de grue…
2001
Reading skills are more and more required to succeed professional examination. French crane drivers are concerned with this problem. In order to help them, we have conducted a study with three main steps. First, we carried out a cognitive work analysis. Second, we test several analogical modalities of written presentations focusing on the construction of a specific simulator. Finally, two experiments are presented showing a significative effect of this simulator on the comprehension of cranes technical documentation.
La politique éolienne et ses effets sur le développement local. Une analyse basée sur le système des acteurs (Loja, Equateur)
2020
La política energética ecuatoriana pretende que las centrales eléctricas contribuyan al desarrollo local en las áreas en las que se implantan. A partir del caso de estudio del Parque Eólico Villonaco (PEV), la pregunta de investigación que se plantea es si el Plan de Desarrollo Territorial Comunitario (PDTC) que se está implementando en la zona de influencia del Parque, está teniendo efectos socio-territoriales positivos. Se utiliza una metodología cualitativa, a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores clave. Los resultados obtenidos indican que la central eólica ha empezado a tener efectos positivos en el ámbito de los equipamientos educativos, la infraestructura vial, o en el al…
Shortages, skills and older workers in information technology labour market of Latvia
2021
This article examines the labour market situation in the sector of information technology in Latvia, paying attention to the insufficiency of labour force due to the skills gap and employability of older workers. The article is based on application of multidisciplinary research methods including employment and skills analysis theories, policy analysis approach and qualitative in-depth open-ended stakeholders interview method. To begin with, it analyses labour market skills gap versus potential of professional mobility and offers an overview of skill classification. Secondly, it focuses on the economic indicators of the information technology industry sector in Latvia and offers reflections …
A Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Antennas System for Small-Satellite Applications
2019
Circularly polarized (CP) antennas are used in space applications for telemetry tracking and command (TT&
On the use of composite indicators for mobile communications network management in smart sustainable cities
2020
Beyond 5G networks will be fundamental towards enabling sustainable mobile communication networks. One of the most challenging scenarios will be met in ultra-dense networks that are deployed in densely populated areas. In this particular case, mobile network operators should benefit from new assessment metrics and data science tools to ensure an effective management of their networks. In fact, incorporating architectures allowing a cognitive network management framework could simplify processes and enhance the network&rsquo
Characterization of IP-Based Communication for Smart Grid Using Software-Defined Networking
2018
The smart grid (SG) approach is based on a strong interaction between the network communication infrastructure and the power grid. Usually the management of the infrastructure is done by the distribution system operators (DSOs) that are worried about the increasing managing complexity due to the presence of increasing number of distributed energy resources and electrical vehicles. The use of software-defined networking (SDN) may simplify the network configuration and management for DSO, as highlighted from previous research works. The objective of this paper is to introduce and characterize an internet protocol (IP)-based communication architecture with specialized SDN bridges operating als…
PQ and Harmonic Assessment Issues on Low-Cost Smart Metering Platforms: A Case Study
2020
This paper presents a feasibility study on how to implement power quality (PQ) metrics in a low-cost smart metering platform. The study is aimed at verifying the possibility of implementing PQ monitoring in distribution networks without replacing existing smart metering devices or adding new modules for PQ measurements, thus zeroing the installation costs. To this aim, an electronic board, currently used for remote energy metering, was chosen as a case study, specifically the STCOMET platform. Starting from the specifications of this device, the possibility of implementing power quality metrics is investigated in order to verify if compliance with standard requirements for PQ instruments ca…
INTRODUCTION TO WEARABLE HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY
2017
Teknologian nopea kehitys on mahdollistanut ennennäkemättömän pienten tietokoneiden valmistuksen. Puettavat teknologiat käyttävät hyväkseen näitä pieniä puettavia laitteita, joilla on tarkoitus parantaa elämänlaatua. Puettavien teknologialaitteiden määrän kasvun on odotettu saavuttavan miljardin laitteen rajan vuoden 2022 tienoilla. Koska terveydenhuolto hyötyy teknologian kehityksestä, se on oiva kohde puettavan teknologian hyödylliseen käyttöön. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on luoda yleislaatuinen selvitys puettavista teknologioista, niiden antamista mahdollisuuksista ja riskitekijöistä terveydenhuollon alalla. Aiemmat tutkimukset asiasta ovat keskittyneet lähinnä puettavan teknologian …
Enhancing the Iterative Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method
2021
Motivated by recent research on the iterative approach proposed for the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method, some ideas to improve the process are introduced. The standard procedure is enhanced iterating on the residuals preserving the matrix-free nature of the process. The method is appealing providing reasonable results with disordered data distribution too and no kernel variations are needed in the approximation. This work moves forward with a novel formulation requiring a lower number of iterations to reach a desired accuracy. The computational procedure is described and some results are introduced to appreciate the proposed formulation.
Refining the preconditions of a social licence to operate (SLO) : reflections on citizens’ attitudes towards mining in two Finnish regions
2016
The debate around the social licence to operate (SLO) has been lively in recent years. In its elementary forms, the SLO is interpreted as the social acceptance granted by a community to mineral exploration and mining activities. Our theoretical assumption is that the SLO as a concept is both case-specific and more general, contingent, among other things, upon public opinion. In this study, acceptance is considered as general and anticipatory in the sense that it can act as a precondition for individual SLOs. Our intention is to contribute especially to recent novel research focusing on the more general background and factors contributing to the SLO. Using survey data (N = 1064), we explore …
