Sociālā tīmekļa datu apkopošana un analīze
2020
Twitter sociālā tīmekļa lietotāju daudzums visā pasaulē arvien palielinās, tāpēc pieaug arī lietotāju izveidoto datu daudzums un lietotāji nenojauš kādi dati īsti tiek dalīti ar citiem. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt sociālā tīmekļa Twitter tvītu metadatu sastāvu, tvītu ievākšanas metodes, publiski pieejamas sistēmas lietotāja profila analīzei un iegūt ieskatu kādu informāciju varētu uzskatīt par lietotājam nedrošu. Darba praktiskajā daļā izveidota tīmekļa vietne, kurā lietotājs var pieteikties sistēmā un pārbaudīt savus pieejamos datus par atrašanos vietu tvītu metadatos, ja atrašanās vietas opcija ir iespējota. Papildus darba praktiskajā daļā izveidota lietotne Twitter Baltijas valstu lietotāju …
Basic school teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education in Ghana
2011
ABSTRACT Attitudes towards Inclusive Education are extremely complex and vary from one teacher to another. This is because traditionally, children with Special Education Needs (SEN) have been segregated into separate learning environments. This practice is now being questioned by teachers who believe it is an infringement of the rights of children with SEN. The proponents of Inclusive Education (IE) are of the opinion that including students with disabilities into mainstream classrooms would maximise their learning experiences. The present study examined the attitudes of basic school teachers in mainstream classrooms towards Inclusive Education in Ghana. It also assessed the best learning e…
Network Capacity Estimators Predicting QoE in HTTP Adaptive Streaming
2022
The aim of adaptive HTTP streaming technology is preserving the best possible video streaming quality for viewers in heterogeneous network conditions. This can be achieved by making multiple quality versions of the video available. Switching between versions during playback should be imperceptible and fluent. The decision about quality-level switching is typically based on network capacity estimation and buffer occupancy, which predict the risk of stalling. Since quality-level switching and stalling are directly evident to the user, they are often classified as influence factors of quality of experience (QoE). In this paper, we observe different network capacity estimators and buffer behavi…
Evaluation of biological properties of extracts obtained from marine biomass assisted by pulsed electric fields (PEF) and pressurized liquid extracti…
2022
Teniendo en cuenta el gran interés por la biodiversidad, los recursos marinos representan una fuente importante de compuestos de alto valor añadido como proteínas y péptidos bioactivos, lípidos y ácido grados vitaminas, minerales y compuestos bioactivos, etc. Los residuos y subproductos del pescado como cabeza, vísceras y piel, entre otros, se descartan o no se utilizan de manera efectiva durante el procesamiento de los alimentos, lo que resulta en un gran desperdicio de recursos, sin embargo, son una gran fuente de compuestos con alto valor añadido y que pueden tener un potencial uso considerable en las industrias alimentaria, farmacéutica, cosmética y otras, existiendo, por lo tanto, un i…
Life in the ice lane: the winter ecology of stream salmonids
2007
Despite the common view that conditions in winter strongly influence survival and population size of fish, the ecology of salmonids has not been as extensively studied in winter as in other seasons. In this paper, we review the latest studies on salmonid winter survival, habitat use, movement and biotic interactions as they relate to the prevailing physical and habitat conditions in rivers and streams. The majority of research conducted on the winter ecology of salmonids has been carried out in small rivers and streams, where temperatures are above zero and where there is no ice. Investigations in large rivers, regulated and dredged rivers, and under conditions of different ice formations a…
Intercohort competition causes spatial segregation in brown trout in artificial streams
1999
When together in a flume, 13-cm LS (age-1) trout appeared to increase their activity and behaved more aggressively, whereas 10-cm LS (age-0) trout tended to move less and were rarely aggressive in the presence of the larger size class. Both size classes were less mobile and preferred lower water velocities in winter than in summer, and increased their use of instream cover in winter. When both size classes were present, only small trout decreased their use of low water velocities and cover. The results indicate that intercohort competition may cause spatial segregation among size groups of brown trout, especially in winter when trout attempt to minimize their maintenance costs.
Comparative sclerochronology of modern and mid-Pliocene (c. 3.5Ma) Aequipecten opercularis (Mollusca, Bivalvia): an insight into past and future clim…
2009
Records of environment contained within the accretionarily deposited tissues of fossil organisms afford a means of detailed reconstruction of past climates and hence of rigorous testing of numerical climate models. We identify the environmental factors controlling oxygen and carbon stable-isotopic composition, and microgrowth-increment size, in the shell of modern examples of the Queen Scallop, Aequipecten opercularis. This understanding is then applied in interpretation of data from mid-Pliocene A. opercularis from eastern England. On the basis of oxygen-isotope evidence we conclude that winter minimum seafloor temperature was similar to present values (typically 6–7 °C) in the adjacent so…
Doublecortin expression in the adult rat telencephalon
2001
Doublecortin (DCX) is a protein required for normal neuronal migration in the developing cerebral cortex, where it is widely expressed in both radially and tangentially migrating neuroblasts. Moreover, it has been observed in the adult rostral migratory stream, which contains the neuronal precursors traveling to the olfactory bulb. We have performed DCX immunocytochemistry in the adult rat brain to identify precisely the neuronal populations expressing this protein. Our observations confirm the presence of DCX immunoreactive cells with the characteristic morphology of migrating neuroblasts in the subventricular zone, rostral migratory stream and the main and accessory olfactory bulbs. We ha…
Optical sensor for remote estimation of alcohol concentration in blood stream
2013
Abstract The purpose of this manuscript is to validate our recently developed novel optical approach for extraction of remote vibration sources as a successful technique to estimate the alcohol concentration in blood stream. This technique is based on the tracking of temporal changes of reflected secondary speckle patterns produced in human skin when being illuminated by a laser beam. Since the skin’s vibrations profile is changed due to the alcohol in the blood stream, the extraction of the vibration profile can be translated into the corresponding alcohol concentration values by means of defining several parameters acting as indicators for the presence of alcohol in the blood stream. We h…
On the de-energization of over-head low-voltage lines under high-impedance fault conditions
2018
Downed distribution conductors in overhead distribution systems, may not be a concern for equipment, but greatly challenge the safety of persons, as well as the integrity of properties. Upstream overcurrent protective devices may not be able to detect the magnitudes of fault currents resulting from these high-impedance faults. Even though protective devices capable to detect such faults have been available on the market, not all the utilities have equipped their stations with these products, likely due to the costs. In this paper, the authors formalize the problem, and propose a possible cost-effective solution for the low-voltage over-head lines with neutral wire. Such solution includes a …
