Intelligent Cloud Storage Management for Layered Tiers
2018
Today, the cloud offers a large array of possibilities for storage, with this flexibility comes also complexity. This complexity stems from the variety of storage mediums, such as, blob storage or NoSQL tables, and also from the different cost tiers within these systems. A strategic thinking to navigate this complex cloud storage landscape is important, not only for cost saving but also for prioritizing information, this prioritization has wider implications in other domains such as the Big Data realm, especially for governance and efficiency. In this paper we propose a strategy centered around probabilistic graphical model (PGM), this heuristic oriented management and organizational strate…
FUTURE IS BACK
2017
«Trent'anni fa, un piano per il futuro di New York sarebbe apparso futile» Michael R. Bloomberg, sindaco di New York, che ha introdotto nel 2007 la relazione sul futuro della città per il 2030, PlaNYC, oppose la città degli anni 1970, «interamente concentrata sulla risoluzione di crisi immediate», alla città di quegli anni, «più forte che mai»: consapevole di aver ritrovato il desiderio del futuro. La data dell'11 settembre non è percepita come un presagio della fine della supremazia americana, è un evento superato - Future is back ! Questo ritorno nel futuro è immaginato da tutte le metropoli preoccupate di inserirsi nel mercato dell'attrattività3. Trent'anni dopo la fine del progresso, l'…
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CIVIC FACTORS AND THE MIDDLE PROFICIENCY LEVEL OF CIVIC KNOWLEDGE
2021
This study explores the relationship between civic and citizenship factors and the middle proficiency level of students’ civic knowledge in the Baltic countries: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The study uses large scale data from the IEA’s International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) 2016. According to ICCS 2016, 39% of students from the three Baltic countries and only 26% of students from the Nordic countries had a middle proficiency level of civic knowledge. This middle proficiency level is the largest group in comparison to other levels. Therefore, the study aims to recognise the differences between the highest and lowest achievements in the middle proficiency level of civi…
A comparison of two indirect methods for estimating average levels of gene flow using microsatellite data.
1999
We compare the performance of Nm estimates based on FST and RST obtained from microsatellite data using simulations of the stepwise mutation model with range constraints in allele size classes. The results of the simulations suggest that the use of microsatellite loci can lead to serious overestimations of Nm, particularly when population sizes are large (N5000) and range constraints are high (K20). The simulations also indicate that, when population sizes are small (N/= 500) and migration rates are moderate (Nm approximately 2), violations to the assumption used to derive the Nm estimators lead to biased results. Under ideal conditions, i.e. large sample sizes (ns/= 50) and many loci (nl/=…
Problematic and non-problematic engagement in Online Sexual Activities across the lifespan
2021
During the last decade, the number of people using the Internet for sexual purposes has increased exponentially. However, most studies conducted so far have analysed Online Sexual Activity (OSA) of adolescents and young people, meaning that we have few information on how this phenomenon is expressed across the lifespan. The aim of this study was to analyse three aspects of OSA (prevalence of different OSAs, motives to engage in OSA, and excessive and problematic engagement in OSA) in a large sample of individuals in different developmental stages. A self-selected sample of 8040 individuals between 12 and 85 years old were recruited and completed an online survey. Participants were distribut…
Avaluació continua con Goodle-GMS a més de 800 alumnes en Enginyeria Química.
2014
L'objectiu d'aquesta experiència ha estat la d'establir un sistema d'avaluació contínua en assignatures amb gran quantitat d'alumnes de manera que no suposin un excessiu treball per al docent, que permeti generar una retroalimentació als alumnes ràpida, de manera que estimuli el treball dels estudiants. L'experiència ha estat realitzada simultàniament a 859 alumnes matriculats de l'assignatura "Química", corresponent a 1r dels Graus d'Enginyeria de l'Energia (85), Enginyeria Aeroespacial (137), Enginyeria de les Tecnologies Industrials (459) i Enginyeria Química (141), durant el segon quadrimestre a l'Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyeria de la Universitat de Sevilla. S'han plantejat 5 probl…
Observatoire francophone des néoplasies endocriniennes multiples de type 1. Un outil du Groupe d'étude des Tumeurs Endocrines (GTE)
2007
Wermer's syndrome or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type-1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, related to mutations in MEN1, an approximately 10-kb gene encoding menin, localized on chromosome 11q13. The Endocrine Tumor Group (GTE) has set up a MEN1 observatory of 1001 regularly followed MEN1 cases. This observatory aims at registering and evaluating MEN1 cases in a large cohort. Any new study on a particular unexplored aspect of the disease may be proposed by a physician to the GTE. This article describes the way to diagnose a new MEN1 case and to register it. Procedures for participating in a new study are presented. Some original results are quoted.
Ultrastructure of vascular neoplasms
1982
Summary The vascular tumors are morphologically recognized by their ability to configurate complete or atypical angiomatous structures. Based on our personal experience of 42 cases of benign and malignant angiomatous tumors, we discussed several aspects of their histogenesis and its morphology when studied with transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Therefore, a survey of the normal histology was developed based not only on normal adult histological structures but also on reparative tissues, as in chronic inflammatory reactions of the gingival mucosa, regenerative tissue of wounds and in chronic osteomyelitis. Supported by morphological arguments, we postulate the existence of sever…
THE OCCURRENCE OF SENECIO VULGARIS L. VAR. VULGARIS AND S. × HELWINGII BEGER EX HEGI (S. VULGARIS × S. VERNALIS WALDST. ET KIT.) IN ISRAEL
1994
Common Groundsel (Senecio vulgarisL. var.vulgaris(2n = 40)) is widespread in the northern hemisphere. In Israel, judging from a herbarium survey, records taken from the Israel Plant Information Center (ROTEM), and field studies, it has a restricted and widely disjunct pattern of geographical distribution, and, thus, is another example of the comparatively large group of weeds in Israel which are extremely stenochorous. The remarkable gaps in its distribution, from the Upper Golan to Mt. Carmel and to the Jerusalem area, are considered primarily to be the result of paleoclimatic changes, whereas its occurrence outside these centers of distribution is probably related to long-distance dispers…
Prevalence, risk factor burden, and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia hospitalized for …
2019
Individuals with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are at high risk of early myocardial infarction (MI). However, coronary artery disease (CAD) burden of FH remains not well described, especially for French patients.The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of FH and severity of CAD from a large database of a French regional registry of acute MI.All consecutive patients hospitalized for an acute MI in a multicenter database from 2001 to 2017 were considered. FH was diagnosed using an algorithm adapted from the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network criteria. The prevalence and clinical features of FH and the severity of CAD were assessed.Among the 11,624 patients included i…
