A visualization technique for accessing solution pool in interactive methods of multiobjective optimization
2015
<pre>Interactive methods of <span>multiobjective</span> optimization repetitively derive <span>Pareto</span> optimal solutions based on decision maker's preference information and present the obtained solutions for his/her consideration. Some interactive methods save the obtained solutions into a solution pool and, at each iteration, allow the decision maker considering any of solutions obtained earlier. This feature contributes to the flexibility of exploring the <span>Pareto</span> optimal set and learning about the optimization problem. However, in the case of many objective functions, the accumulation of derived solutions makes accessing the sol…
Kinetic Analysis: A Sensitive Outcome Objective Measurement Method in Evaluating Lateral Patellar Instability
2011
There are many diagnostic clinical tests (e.g., apprehension patellar test or the moving patellar apprehension test), outcome measures (general health and knee scales [IKDC form, Kujala scale, Fulkerson scale, Lysholm knee scoring scale, Tegner activity level scale, short form-36]), and instrumented measurements of patellar mobility (static stability), to assess lateral patellar instability.7,10,15,16 However, according to Smith and colleagues,15 the sensitivity/specificity – reliability/validity of such tests and outcome tools remain unclear for this patient population. These authors conclude that further work is needed to assess the appropriateness of these tests and outcomes.15Moreover, …
Storie di oggetti (e di sogni) perduti. Musei contemporanei per ritrovarsi
2022
What happens to humanity discarded by history? To the broken dreams (of love and life)?What to do with the objects that fill our life as "fragile ruins" of a dream lost forever? The article, looking at various contemporary projects of permanent museums and temporary exhibitions, intends to outline and lead a reflection on the radical paradigm change that intervenes in the exhibition processes and in the strategies of emotional engagement within contemporary museological policies. Conceived as places of encounter and relationship, museums are open to communities and individual stories. In particular, the emotion of lost guided the constitution of collections of objects, in a series of exhibi…
Avaluació de la influència de la personalitat humana en el desenvolupament de software: un relat d'experiència
2016
espanolLa personalidad de los profesionales de programacion informatica ha sido un elemento que ha despertado el interes en la investigacion acade- mica. Los investigadores han aplicado diferentes modelos de analisis de la personalidad de aquellos profesionales, en diversas areas de la ingenieria de software para identificar puntos de mejora, para promover la satisfaccion, en el trabajo y para organizar mejor los equipos. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo realizar una investigacion, a traves de un relato de experiencia, para evaluar el modelo de personalidad MBTI –Myers-Briggs Type Indication– aplicado a los profesionales de programacion y para entender como la personalidad humana inf…

Impact of pharmacological and environmental manipulations on neuronal structural plasticity and dynamics
2017
El sistema nervioso de vertebrados es uno de los más estudiados, aunque peor comprendidos, del organismo de mamíferos. Desde que Ramón y Cajal postuló su teoría celular de este sistema (Ramón y Cajal 1909), la neurona se ha postulado como su unidad funcional. Sin embargo, durante las últimas décadas se ha revolucionado la visión que se tenía de éste. Una de las percepciones más asentadas era que, tras el desarrollo embrionario, el sistema nervioso se mantenía inmutable. Sin embargo, ahora sabemos que diferentes formas de plasticidad gobiernan su adaptación, que son necesarias para importantes procesos del día a día, tales como el aprendizaje y la memoria (Smythies 2002; Berlucchi and Buchte…
A Multi-Objective Design Approach for the c Chart Considering Taguchi Loss Function
2014
The present paper proposes a multi-objective design approach for the c chart, considering in the optimization process of the chart parameters both the statistical and the economic objectives. In particular, the minimization of the hourly total quality related costs is the considered objective to carry out the economic goal, whereas the statistical objective is reached by the minimization the out-of-control average run length of the chart. A mixed integer non-linear constrained mathematical model is formulated to solve the treated multi-objective optimization problem, whereas the Pareto optimal frontier is described by the «-constraint method. In order to show the employment of the proposed …
Fluent Speakers of a Second Language Process Graspable Nouns Expressed in L2 Like in Their Native Language
2017
According to embodied cognition, language processing relies on the same neural structures involved when individuals experience the content of language material. If so, processing nouns expressing a motor content presented in a second language should modulate the motor system as if presented in the mother tongue. We tested this hypothesis using a go-no go paradigm. Stimuli included English nouns and pictures depicting either graspable or non-graspable objects. Pseudo-words and scrambled images served as controls. Italian participants, fluent speakers of English as a second language, had to respond when the stimulus was sensitive and refrain from responding when it was not. As foreseen by emb…
Ohjelmistokehittäjän keinoja Java-koodin tehostamiseen ja keinojen hyödyllisyys
2010
Honkanen, Juho Ville-Pekka Ohjelmistokehittäjän keinoja Java-koodin tehostamiseen ja keinojen hyödyllisyys / Ville-Pekka Honkanen Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2010. 37 s. Kandidaatintutkielma Tässä tutkielmassa käydään lävitse keinoja, joilla voidaan parantaa Java-koodin suorituskykyä. Tutkielma on toteutettu kirjallisuuskatsauksena ja sen tarkoituksena on tutkia perinteisiä koodioptimointeja ja selvitetään onko niistä enää nykypäivänä hyötyä. Lisäksi käsitellään keinoja, joilla todella voi parantaa ohjelman suorituskykyä ja missä tilanteissa näitä voidaan käyttää. Läpi käydään myös koodaamistapoja, joita tulisi välttää, esimerkiksi lopetusmetodien käyttö. Tutkielmassa selviää, että us…
