Current air quality analytics and monitoring: a review.
2014
This review summarizes the different tools and concepts that are commonly applied in air quality monitoring. The monitoring of atmosphere is extremely important as the air quality is an important problem for large communities. Main requirements for analytical devices used for monitoring include a long period of autonomic operation and portability. These instruments, however, are often characterized by poor analytical performance. Monitoring networks are the most common tools used for monitoring, so large-scale monitoring programmes are summarized here. Biomonitoring, as a cheap and convenient alternative to traditional sample collection, is becoming more and more popular, although its main …
Session details: Distributed systems: WT - web technologies track
2018
The Web is relentlessly evolving. Once a single interconnection of static, physically distributed content passively accessed by human users through personal computers, during the explosion of Web-based social networks the Web evolved into an environment allowing users worldwide to interact and collaborate to create user-generated content within many virtual communities. In this line, Web 2.0 is the umbrella term used to encompass several developments which followed, namely social networking sites and social media sites (e.g., Facebook), blogs, wikis, folksonomies (e.g. Flickr), video sharing sites (e.g., YouTube), Web applications ("apps"), collaborative platforms, and mashup applications. …
Structural Domains of the <em>Bacillus thuringiensis</em> Vip3Af Protein Unraveled by Tryptic Digestion of Alanine Mutants
2019
Vip3 proteins are increasingly used in insect control in transgenic crops. To shed light on the structure of these proteins, we used the approach of trypsin fragmentation of mutants altering the conformation of the Vip3Af protein. From an alanine scanning on Vip3Af, we selected mutants with an altered proteolytic pattern. Based on the protease digestion patterns, their effect on oligomer formation, and theoretical cleavage sites, we generated a map of the Vip3Af protein with five domains, which match some of the domains proposed independently by two in silico models. Domain I ranges from aa12-198, domain II from aa199-313, domain III from aa314-526, domain IV from aa527-668 and domain V fro…
Product of extension domains is still an extension domain
2018
We prove the product of the Sobolev-extension domains is still a Sobolev-extension domain.
Motivic Pattern Extraction in Symbolic Domain
2008
This chapter offers an overview of computational research in motivic pattern extraction. The central questions underlying the topic, concerning the formalization of the motivic structures, the matching strategies and the filtering of the results, have been addressed in various ways. A detailed analysis of these problems leads to the proposal of a new methodology, which will be developed throughout the study. One main conclusion of this review is that the problems cannot be tackled using purely mathematic or geometric heuristics or classical engineering tools, but require also a detailed understanding of the multiple constraints derived by the underlying cognitive context.
Equivalence Problem of Composite Class Diagrams
2001
Multiplicity constraints in a UML composite class diagram may be inconsistent. An algorithm is given for eliminating all such inconsistencies. Using this algorithm an algorithm is constructed which for two given composite class diagrams solves the equivalence problem. These algorithms can be embedded in CASE tools for automated detection of multiplicity inconsistencies.
A Teaching proposal for the study of eigenvectors and eigenvalues
2017
[EN] In this work, we present a teaching proposal which emphasizes on visualization and physical applications in the study of eigenvectors and eigenvalues. These concepts are introduced using the notion of the moment of inertia of a rigid body and the GeoGebra software. The proposal was motivated after observing students¿ difficulties when treating eigenvectors and eigenvalues from a geometric point of view. It was designed following a particular sequence of activities with the schema: exploration, introduction of concepts, structuring of knowledge and application, and considering the three worlds of mathematical thinking provided by Tall: embodied, symbolic and formal.
Sequential formula translation
1983
The syntax of an algorithmic language such as ALGOL is conveniently described as a sequence of states indicated by an element called cellar. Transitions are controlled by admissible state- s ymbol pairs which may be represented by a transition matrix. This description of syntax furnishes at the same time an extremely simple rule for translating into machine programs statements in the algorithmic language. Sequential treatment, however, is not feasible in the case of certain optimizing processes such as recursive address calculation.
Structural Reforms in Banking: The Role of Trading
2017
In the wake of the recent financial crisis, significant regulatory actions have been taken aimed at limiting risks emanating from trading in bank business models. Prominent reform proposals are the Volcker Rule in the U.S., the Vickers Report in the UK, and, based on the Liikanen proposal, the Barnier proposal in the EU. A major element of these reforms is to separate "classical" commercial banking activities from securities trading activities, notably from proprietary trading. While the reforms are at different stages of implementation, there is a strong ongoing discussion on what possible economic consequences are to be expected. The goal of this paper is to look at the alternative approa…
Insider Trading and Market Behaviour Around Takeover Announcements in the Spanish Market
2002
As microstructure models assume informational asymmetries among investors, the possibility of insider trading is a sound reason for liquidity suppliers to increase the bid-ask spread. In this way, the tested effect that takeover announcements have on target firm returns becomes a strong motive for trading with insider information. In this paper we firstly investigate whether liquidity suppliers value the possibility of trading with informed agents in this sort of event. We analyse the adverse selection cost from bid-ask spread behaviour around takeover announcements. We find that liquidity suppliers enlarge adverse selection cost suggesting that they value the possibility of facing to insid…
