1 The talk will start and go around this claim: " Could a business think? " and mainly explore what cognitive computing is starting to provide an added value as diverse industries. Main focus will be how cognitive computing is impacting financial services and hot it could contribute to reshape that industry

A new approach is outlined in which group modeling techniques are used to model an individual user. This helps to reduce cold-start problems, and allows aggregating multiple criteria.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is commonly used for pathogen detection in clinical and environmental samples. These sample matrices often contain inhibitors of PCR, which is a primary reason for sample processing; however, the purification process is highly inefficient, becoming unacceptable at lower signature concentrations. One potential solution is direct PCR assessment without sample proce...

Hot bathing has been associated with sudden death and so the present study investigated its effects on autonomic activity and hemodynamics in the elderly patient and the healthy young by analyzing heart rate variability (HRV). Subjects were 9 elderly men (mean age, 75 years) and 9 young men (mean age, 27 years), who were immersed up to shoulder level while in a sitting position for 10min with t...

One of the advantages of solar thermal power plants (STPPs) with molten salt as heat transfer fluid is the direct storage system. This means that the thermal energy collected by the solar field and the electric power generation can be fully decoupled. The plant operator must therefore make the daily decision when to start-up or to shut-down the power block (PB). Normally, the solar field of the...

ABSTRACT The formation of giant planets can be studied through direct imaging by observing both during and after formation. Giant are expected to form either core accretion, which is typically associated with low initial entropy (cold-start models) or gravitational instability, high the gas (hot-start models). Thus, constraining provide insight into a planet’s process determines resultant brigh...

Due to the increasingly restrictive exhaust emissions requirements from conventional vehicles, internal combustion engine start-up seems be most important part of operation. The period immediately after starting is time when are highest, thus, this aspect currently subject heavy analysis. article evaluates impact thermal state during its for a Euro 5 emission class vehicle type approval test. t...
