KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT METHODS AS AN INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT FACTOR IN THE KNOWLEDGE TRIANGLE
2013
The purpose of the study is to determine the knowledge management methods that can be used in practice and be an innovative development factor in the knowledge triangle. For the achievement of this purpose the following tasks were accomplished. Tasks. In the course of a questionnaire survey the basic needs of the learners that cannot be met through usual education were revealed, training programmes were developed; said programmes were implemented on the base of the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE, Riga), Rezekne Higher School (Latvia), and Moscow State University (Russia). The results of training were obtained, processed and analysed. The primary methods were used including a brief descr…
Not a footprint to be seen: isolation in the interplay between words, music and image in two Dutch-language dubbed versions of ‘Let it go’
2019
Animated musical films, such as Disney’s Frozen, have long been immensely popular among the globe; however, the investigation of the songs of such films in a dubbing context constitutes a relatively new area of research. This paper compares the theme of isolation in one song from Frozen, ‘Let it go’, in the two Dutch-language dubbed versions released in, respectively, the Netherlands and Belgium. The triangle of aspects, an analytical model for animated musical films, is used to analyse the musical, visual, and verbal codes of ‘Let it go’ and categorise differences between the TTs and the ST. This model combines qualitative and quantitative data to compare different-language versions of son…
Bidirectional labeling in column-generation algorithms for pickup-and-delivery problems
2018
Abstract For the exact solution of many types of vehicle-routing problems, column-generation based algorithms have become predominant. The column-generation subproblems are then variants of the shortest-path problem with resource constraints which can be solved well with dynamic-programming labeling algorithms. For vehicle-routing problems with a pickup-and-delivery structure, the strongest known dominance between two labels requires the delivery triangle inequality (DTI) for reduced costs to hold. When the direction of labeling is altered from forward labeling to backward labeling, the DTI requirement becomes the pickup triangle inequality (PTI). DTI and PTI cannot be guaranteed at the sam…
G1 rational blend interpolatory schemes: a comparative study
2012
Interpolation of triangular meshes is a subject of great interest in many computer graphics related applications, as, for example, gaming and realtime rendering. One of the main approaches to interpolate the positions and normals of the mesh vertices is the use of parametric triangular Bezier patches. As it is well known, any method aiming at constructing a parametric, tangent plane (G^1) continuous surface has to deal with the vertex consistency problem. In this article, we propose a comparison of three methods appeared in the nineties that use a particular technique called rational blend to avoid this problem. Together with these three methods we present a new scheme, a cubic Gregory patc…
Geometry and analysis of Dirichlet forms
2012
Let $ \mathscr E $ be a regular, strongly local Dirichlet form on $L^2(X, m)$ and $d$ the associated intrinsic distance. Assume that the topology induced by $d$ coincides with the original topology on $ X$, and that $X$ is compact, satisfies a doubling property and supports a weak $(1, 2)$-Poincar\'e inequality. We first discuss the (non-)coincidence of the intrinsic length structure and the gradient structure. Under the further assumption that the Ricci curvature of $X$ is bounded from below in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani, the following are shown to be equivalent: (i) the heat flow of $\mathscr E$ gives the unique gradient flow of $\mathscr U_\infty$, (ii) $\mathscr E$ satisfies the Ne…

Soil water content assessment: Seasonal effects on the triangle method
2016
Among indirect estimations of the soil water content in the upper layer, the "triangle method" is based on the relationship between the optical and thermal features sensed via Earth Observation. These features are controlled by water content at surface and within root zone, but also by meteorological forcing including air temperature and humidity, and solar radiation. Night and day-time MODIS composite land-surface temperature (LST) allowed applying the thermal admittance version of the method; by taking into account the temporal admittance of the soil, this version was previously found achieving high accuracy in estimate the soil water content at high spatial resolution within a short time…
Principal part of multi-parameter displacement functions
2012
This paper deals with a perturbation problem from a period annulus, for an analytic Hamiltonian system [J.-P. Françoise, Ergodic Theory Dynam. Systems 16 (1996), no. 1, 87–96 ; L. Gavrilov, Ann. Fac. Sci. Toulouse Math. (6) 14(2005), no. 4, 663–682. The authors consider the planar polynomial multi-parameter deformations and determine the coefficients in the expansion of the displacement function generated on a transversal section to the period annulus. Their first result gives a generalization to the Françoise algorithm for a one-parameter family, following [J.-P. Françoise and M. Pelletier, J. Dyn. Control Syst. 12 (2006), no. 3, 357–369. The second result expresses the principal terms in …
Monotonic solution of heterogeneous anisotropic diffusion problems
2013
Anisotropic problems arise in various areas of science and engineering, for example groundwater transport and petroleum reservoir simulations. The pure diffusive anisotropic time-dependent transport problem is solved on a finite number of nodes, that are selected inside and on the boundary of the given domain, along with possible internal boundaries connecting some of the nodes. An unstructured triangular mesh, that attains the Generalized Anisotropic Delaunay condition for all the triangle sides, is automatically generated by properly connecting all the nodes, starting from an arbitrary initial one. The control volume of each node is the closed polygon given by the union of the midpoint of…
Inside service-intensive projects: Analyzing inbuilt tensions
2015
The purpose of this research is to identify typical professional and occupational groups in service-intensive projects, and illustrate the inbuilt tensions among them through the lens of institutional theory. The cases used for the study are a wind turbine business and a content management system project business. Our findings suggest that there are two professional groups (problem solvers, technology developers) and two occupational groups (lead generators, relationship developers) involved in these businesses. More importantly, their intergroup tensions are related to different institutionalized logics toward the conception of time (project temporality) and prioritization of different asp…
