The Fouling phenomena in membrane bioreactors: a comparison of different mathematical modelling approaches

2015

Eight different modelling approaches for membrane fouling modelling have been compared and the uncertainty has been assessed. Overall the eight approaches provided satisfactory results in terms of model fitting with the measured data. Different results have been obtained in terms of uncertainty bounds showing a different reliability of the model approaches. The study allowed to gain insights about the mechanisms which control fouling in membrane bioreactors.

Ordered fuzzy rules generation based on incremental dataset

2021

This paper proposes a novel approach for building transparent knowledge-based systems by generating interpretable fuzzy rules that allow for present dependences between quantitative variables by accounting for uncertainty and the dynamics of their values. In the approach, IF-THEN rules are used to show the conditional relationship between the ordered fuzzy numbers, which contain additional information about the tendencies of variables' value changes. This paper elaborates an approach of mining ordered fuzzy rules from numerical data included in an incremental database. This approach develops the ability to record uncertainty and its change in the context of rapidly changing data. In additio…

Deconstruction and hermeneutical space as keys to understanding the rural

2020

The purpose of this article is to complement the existing literature on defining the rural by suggesting a novel approach that makes possible a holistic understanding of the rural. The proposed approach is based on deconstruction of the concept of the rural and on hermeneutical philosophy. The current approaches applied in rural studies are evaluated through the lens of holistic understanding, and solutions to the observed problems are discussed. The problems of current rural studies stem from inadequate conceptualization and biased social theory. The conceptual problems can be alleviated, firstly, by understanding the concept of space not only literally but also figuratively. Secondly, the…

Izskaidrot un saprast: ko tas nozīmē modeļ-bāzētā izziņas modelī?

2018

Ko tad nozīmē izprast pasauli? Mans priekšlikums: izmantojam stratēģiju B. Izprast pasauli nozīmē izgudrot efektīvus modeļbūves līdzekļus un iemācīties ar to palīdzību būvēt visus mums vajadzīgos modeļus. Neko vairāk izpratnes jēdzienā meklēt nevajag. Jūtamies vīlušies?

Urban Segregation and Unemployment: A Case Study of Marseille (France)

2015

International audience; In this paper, we study the effects the Marseille’s spatial organization on unemployment. More specifically, differences in characteristics of residential population induce urban stratification so that the urban structure could affect the propensity of unemployment. This potential link is called the reverse causality. In order to evaluate the effect s of spatial structure on unemployment, we implement a spatial probit model to reveal the employment probabilities of young adults still living with their parents. In a first step, we highlight the realness of residential segregation in Marseille by a topology of neighborhoods by degree of deprivation with a principal com…

Observation of the Early Structural Changes Leading to the Formation of Protein Superstructures.

2014

Formation of superstructures in protein aggregation processes has been indicated as a general pathway for several proteins, possibly playing a role in human pathologies. There is a severe lack of knowledge on the origin of such species in terms of both mechanisms of formation and structural features. We use equine lysozyme as a model protein, and by combining spectroscopic techniques and microscopy with X-ray fiber diffraction and ab initio modeling of Small Angle X-ray Scattering data, we isolate the partially unfolded state from which one of these superstructures (i.e., particulate) originates. We reveal the low-resolution structure of the unfolded state and its mechanism of formation, hi…

Fiktio on jumalallinen uni : unten epäluonnollisuus ja postmodernistiset teemat Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläisen reaalifantasiassa

2016

Tutkielman kohteena on unten toiminta Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläisen reaalifantasiassa. Tutkimusaineistona on Kustannusyhtiö Atenan julkaisema Jääskeläisen tuotanto: novellikokoelma Taivaalta pudonnut eläintarha (2008) sekä romaanit Lumikko ja yhdeksän muuta (2006), Harjukaupungin salakäytävät (2010) ja Sielut kulkevat sateessa (2014). Unia on Jääskeläisen tuotannossa runsaasti, ja ne toimivat erilaisina kertomuksen rakenteina. Ne kuvaavat henkilöhahmoja, rakentavat kertomustensa tiloja, toimivat kerronnan tasoina sekä aikarakenteina. Unet myös rikkovat näitä rakenteita. Reaalifantasia, jonka perustajajäseniä ovat Jääskeläisen lisäksi Anne Leinonen, Juha-Pekka Koskinen ja J. Pekka Mäkelä, on suom…

Izpratne par "unisex" kā modes dizaina kategoriju Latvijas sabiedrībā

2017

Maģistra darbā “Izpratne par unisex kā modes dizaina kategoriju Latvijas sabiedrībā” atklātas idejas par sociālā sevis definēšu caur apģērbu un daudzās apģērba interpretācijas iespējas sociālās identitātes konstruēšanā. Darbā tiek apskatītas modes dizaina pamatdefinīcija, unisex apģērba kategorijas vēsture un nozīme mūsdienās. Pētījuma mērķis ir izprast, kāpēc unisex apģērbs liek domāt par dzimtes noteiktām kategorijām un ko šāda apģērba izvēle liecina par lietotāja sociālo identitāti? Pētījuma rezultāti norāda, ka patēriņš drīzāk ir sociāls kā racionāls un atspoguļo kulturāli konstruēto lietu izvēles kārtību. Dizaina produkts ir papildināts ar dažādiem kultūras simboliem, kas tam piešķir p…

Measuring territory student-attractiveness in Italy. Longitudinal evidence

2016

The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting university student mobility in Italy in a longitudinal perspective, by considering the flows across competing territorial areas supplying tertiary education programs. The Bradley-Terry modelling approach based on pair comparisons has been adopted to define the attractiveness of competing territories and a range of determinants related to the socio-economic characteristics of the areas as well as universities’ resources. Data released by the Italian Ministry of Education (MiUR) are analysed for the academic years 2010/2011-2014/2015. The modelling approach considers score values for each territory and year, allowing to evaluate wh…
