Analysis of the Scoring Formula of Economic Criteria in Public Works Procurement

2013

[EN] Public works procurement regulates two award procedures from within the same criteria: either the price or a variety of different conditions. Although the question of price may not seem the most important factor to be considered, it is imperative to always be aware of it when bearing in mind the award criteria. Economic scoring formulae (ESF) are numerous and each agency has the authority to determine which will be used for each of their bids, making this article a comparative analysis of all the options. The results show that most formulas give the highest score to the most economic bidder, it is necessary to eliminate the use of formulas that give the highest score to the offers whic…

The culture of product development in student organisations

2021

Product development in a multidisciplinary student organisation brings many challenges; varyingexperience, adaptation and involvement of members. This article will discuss how a multidisciplinarystudent project maintains a learning culture for product development and project management.The identified factors for a learning culture; 1) define product specifications, 2) involvealumnis, 3) facilitate an open minded culture for failure and learning and 4) collect experience andadapt an agile framework suitable for the project. These are factors that should be an implementedpart to increase the chances of maintaining a learning culture.Align Racing UiA, the case of this study, is a student organ…

Fermentation des protéines végétales : atouts organoleptique et nutritionnel

2015

Référence : 201511122426; Du fait de l’augmentation de la population de la planète, la production de protéines pour l’alimentation des populations et l’évaluation de la qualité de ces protéines pour satisfaire les besoins de l’Homme pourraient devenir des questions majeures dans les décennies à venir pour l’ensemble du monde. Le développement de nouveaux aliments optimisant l’apport protéique d’origine végétale parait également important dans certaines situations (personnes âgées, sportifs…) où les besoins nutritionnels sont modifiés au plan quantitatif et qualitatif. De nombreux problèmes ont été identifiés suite à l’incorporation de protéines végétales dans nos aliments. En particulier, d…

Pastorale monastique et pratique de l'écrit. Les actes de donation de Saint-Victor de Marseille (XIe siècle)

2009

L'enquête sur les préambules et les formules comminatoires des actes de donation du vaste corpus de Saint-Victor de Marseille (avec plus de 300 originaux conservés et un cartulaire compilé dans les années 1080 avec environ 800 actes) s'articule autour du cadre de la production des chartes et des discours qu'elles véhiculent. On envisage ainsi la question de la dynamique de l'écrit à l'intérieur d'un processus où entendre, parler, voir, réfléchir sont des actions préalables à la mise par écrit des actes diplomatiques qui laissent entrevoir en filigrane le travail pastoral réalisé par les moines et sa répercussion dans les consciences. Plus explicites sur le contenu de l'enseignement transmis…

Benefit Incidence Analysis in Education

2007

07103; The standard benefit incidence algebra generally produces biased estimates of the distribution of public spending on education when students from poor and rich families are enrolled in schools that receive different levels of public spending per student. Except in very rare instances, removing these biases entails combining several sources of information in order to evaluate how unit spending varies across different population groups. Although such disaggregation is generally difficult to obtain, we show one way to overcome the data constraints that hinder a precise calculation of the incidence of public spending on education. The empirical example discussed in this article indicates…

Why small particle fixed dose triple therapy? An excursus from COPD pathology to pharmacological treatment evolution

2022

Although bronchodilators are the cornerstone in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) therapy, the treatment with a single-agent bronchodilator may not provide adequate symptoms control in COPD. The combination of drugs with different mechanisms of action may be more effective in inducing bronchodilation and preventing exacerbations, with a lower risk of side-effects in comparison with the increase of the dose of a single molecule. Several studies comparing the triple therapy with the association of long-acting ß2 agonist (LABA)/inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) or long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA)/LABA reported improvement of lung function and quality of life. A significant reduc…

Multiple Solutions with Sign Information for a Class of Coercive (p, 2)-Equations

2019

We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet equation driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and of a Laplacian (a (p, 2)-equation). The hypotheses on the reaction f(z, x) are minimal and make the energy (Euler) functional of the problem coercive. We prove two multiplicity theorems producing three and four nontrivial smooth solutions, respectively, all with sign information. We apply our multiplicity results to the particular case of a class of parametric (p, 2)-equations.

On a time-depending Monge-Ampère type equation

2012

Abstract In this paper, we prove a comparison result between a solution u ( x , t ) , x ∈ Ω ⊂ R 2 , t ∈ ( 0 , T ) , of a time depending equation involving the Monge–Ampere operator in the plane and the solution of a conveniently symmetrized parabolic equation. To this aim, we prove a derivation formula for the integral of a smooth function g ( x , t ) over sublevel sets of u , { x ∈ Ω : u ( x , t ) ϑ } , ϑ ∈ R , having the same perimeter in R 2 .

On the problem of regularity in the Sobolev space Wloc1,n

2009

Abstract We prove that a variant of the Hencl's notion of A C λ n -mapping (see [S. Hencl, On the notions of absolute continuity for functions of several variables, Fund. Math. 173 (2002) 175–189]), in which λ is not a constant, produces a new solution to the problem of regularity in the Sobolev space W loc 1 , n .
