La comparaison entre les récits décrivant la semaine du 10 au 17 mai 1940 tels qu’ils ont été procurés par Winston Churchill et Claude Simon montre que si ce dernier reste globalement fidèle texte de l’Anglais, il en procure également des variations poétiques, satiriques narratives. Peu à peu corrélé l’univers proustien, celui est déplacé temps historique fictif. Ce déplacement qui fait un pers...

The COVID-19 pandemic tested the resilience of food system actors at all levels and across geog­ra­phies. This study focuses on experience Vermont local businesses by combining two surveys conducted in first half 2021: one foodservice operations that procure locally farms sell directly to con­sumers. We analyzed descriptive statistics, open responses, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests assess which ...

Shadow Information Technology (IT) occurs when users develop systems outside of the central information technology department. It provides both benefits and risks. Users procuring shadow IT often do not consider integration with existing enterprise architecture, privacy and security protection, maintenance cost, and legal ramifications. Problems with shadow IT must often be resolved by central ...

Industrial virtual reality (IVR) facilitates the development and operation of factories and plants by enhancing communication among all the stakeholders involved and providing a visualization combining the different planning data with simulation data generated during development or real-time data acquired during operation. The major benefit derived from combining these heterogeneous data source...

Human Learning on the Grid will be based on the synergies between advanced software and Human agents. These synergies will be possible to the extent that conversational protocols among Agents, human and/or artificial ones, can be adapted to the ambitious goal of dynamically generating services for human learning. In the paper we highlight how conversations may procure learning both in human and...

The food responses of Drosophila larvae offer an excellent opportunity to study the genetic and neural regulation of feeding behavior. Compared with fed larvae, hungry larvae are more likely to display aggressive foraging, rapid food intake, compensatory feeding, and stress-resistant food procurement. Behavioral assays have been developed to quantitatively assess particular aspects of the hunge...

UNLABELLED Assembling and/or producing integrated knowledge of sequence features continues to be an onerous and redundant task despite a large number of existing resources. We have developed SeqDepot-a novel database that focuses solely on two primary goals: (i) assimilating known primary sequences with predicted feature data and (ii) providing the most simple and straightforward means to procu...

Adults mongrel dogs, weighing from 18 to 24 kg, were used. The entire small bowel was procured and flushed with cold lactated Ringer's solution containing heparin through the superior mesenteric artery. The intestinal lumen was also irrigated with the same solution. After the graft was preserved in the cold lactated Ringer's ,olution for 24 hours, it was transplanted orthotopically into the ,;a...

The growing importance of massive datasets with the advent of deep learning makes robustness to label noise a critical property for classifiers to have. Sources of label noise include automatic labeling for large datasets, non-expert labeling, and label corruption by data poisoning adversaries. In the latter case, corruptions may be arbitrarily bad, even so bad that a classifier predicts the wr...

Information marketplaces enable entities to buy and sell information; these buying and selling entities can be humans, or automated agents that represent them. In this paper, we introduce a new type of participant into electronic information marketplaces, namely the InfoCenter agent, which can not only buy and sell information, but can also procure and sell manipulated (i.e., processed) informa...
