Abstract:
Business process management experiences a large uptake by the industry, and process models play an important role in the analysis and improvement of processes. While an increasing number of staff becomes involved in actual modeling practice, it is crucial to assure model quality and homogeneity along with providing suitable aids for creating models. In this paper we consider the problem of offering recommendations to the user during the act of modeling. Our key contribution is a concept for defining and identifying so-called action patterns - chunks of actions often appearing together in busin

Abstract:
This study investigated the spatio-temporal patterns of antimicrobial action against Staphylococcus epidermidis planktonic and biofilm bacteria. Bacteria were stained with a fluorogenic esterase substrate, Calcein-AM, which allowed for the visualization of cells that possessed intact cell membranes. Four different antimicrobial agents were tested for their effect upon cell viability as associated with membrane integrity. The four biocides were Barquat&Acirc;&reg;, glutaraldehyde, chlorine, and nisin. Planktonic bacteria were analyzed with flow cytometry, observing fluorescence loss during 1 h

This study was designed to characterize consumer purchases of organic milk by differentiating consumers based on buying behavior and then evaluating what personal and household characteristics were most prominent in each group. Cluster analysis was used to differentiate four groups of consumers based on their total volume of milk purchases, percentage of organic milk purchases, and frequency of milk purchases. The clusters were then characterized based on household size, household income, age of children, race, Hispanic origin, and head of householdâ s age, education, occupation, and gender

Abstract:
The question of what comprises sustainable development is, essentially, a moral one: what should constitute the web of interactions between ourselves, and between ourselves and the non-human world. But questions this large invite fragmentation into even smaller, manageable parts and in turn a predilection for specialisation. Such reductionism is now recognised as an important factor in our current lack of success in ‘living more sustainably’. Thus, this research takes the alternate approach: a look at sustainable development from the perspective of the whole. The research reveals that even the

The point of departure for this thesis is how a traditional service sector shifts towards becoming more energy efficient and the processes that enable environmental action. Traditional services are generally considered to be poorly innovative and inclined towards routine activity; this leaves a gap in understanding how these adapt to the challenge of taking environmental action. The study argues that service firms adapt by deploying capabilities to multitask or to carry out innovative activity alongside routine activities related to service delivery.

This thesis is a contribution to the formalisation of the notion of an agent within the class of finite multivariate Markov chains. In accordance with the literature agents are are seen as entities that act, perceive, and are goaldirected. We present a new measure that can be used to identify entities (called i-entities). The intuition behind this is that entities are spatiotemporal patterns for which every part makes every other part more probable. The measure, complete local integration (CLI), is formally investigated within the more general setting of Bayesian networks. It is based on the s

Att få kunskaper om ochge redskap för ett praktikorienterat jämställdhetsarbete i studie- ochyrkesvägledning är syftet med denna aktionsforskningsstudie. De vägledare som deltar har intresseför och kunskap om genusvetenskapliga perspektiv och kan ses som goda exempel.

Abstract:
Ma thèse s’articule autour de nombreux cas cliniques d’analysantes femmes et vise à montrer certaines formes de déni de la sexualité féminine au Moyen-Orient. Nous nous sommes proposée d’explorer dans un premier temps et d’exposer les idées et les théories psychanalytiques régnantes en matière de sexualité féminine, tant en Orient qu’en Occident. Dans un deuxième temps, nous exposons les cas cliniques puis, à la lumière de ce que nous avons relevé dans les récits littéraires, les études sociologiques, et la littérature psychanalytique consultée à cet effet, nous tâchons de répondre à la questi

Abstract:
In Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games, players develop an army in real time, then attempt to take out one or more opponents. Despite the existence of basic similarities among the many different RTS games, engines of these games are often built ad hoc, and code re-use among different titles is minimal. We created a design pattern called ``Resource Entity Action'' (REA) that abstracts the basic interactions that entities have with each other in most RTS games. This paper discusses REA and language abstraction and implementation using the Casanova game programming language. Our analysis shows that no

Abstract:
Les structures d'acto-myosine sont impliquées dans de nombreuses fonctions cellulaires. Comprendre leur organisation et leur comportement collectif est toujours difficile. Nous avons étudié l'anneau cytokinétique dans les cellules de mammifères et dans les levures de fission, en orientant les cellules dans les microcavités, ce qui permet de voir l'anneau dans un seul plan focal. Avec cette configuration, nous révélons de nouvelles structures et des dynamiques distinctes pour les deux systèmes cellulaires. Dans les cellules de mammifères, nous trouvons des motifs réguliers de la myosine et la f

Abstract:
Visual recognition (e.g., object, scene and action recognition) is an active area of research in computer vision due to its increasing number of real-world applications such as video (image) indexing and search, intelligent surveillance, human-machine interaction, robot navigation, etc. Effective modeling of the objects, scenes and actions is critical for visual recognition. Recently, bag of visual words (BoVW) representation, in which the image patches or video cuboids are quantized into visual words (i.e., mid-level features) based on their appearance similarity using clustering, has been wi

Pour une réponse immunitaire efficace, une interaction optimale entre les cellules T et les cellules présentatrices d'antigène (APC) est nécessaire. Elle se présente sous la forme d'un contact cellulaire à différentes échelles allant du moléculaire (1-10 nm) au cellulaire (1-10 micromètres). La liaison entre les récepteurs spéciaux des cellules T (TCR) et leurs ligands sur une APC entraîne une réorganisation moléculaire à plus grande échelle menant d'abord à la formation de micro-clusters de TCR, puis à une restructuration à l'échelle cellulaire de la membrane et du cytosquelette.
