A FRAMEWORK FOR THE MEASUREMENT AND PREDICTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL SCIENTIST’S PERFORMANCE

Author(s): Endel Põder / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Quantitative bibliometric indicators are widely used to evaluate the performance of scientists. However, traditional indicators do not much rely on the analysis of the processes intended to measure and the practical goals of the measurement. In this study, I propose a simple framework to measure and predict an individual researcher’s scientific performance that attempts to take into account the main regularities of publication and citation processes and the requirements of practical tasks. Statistical properties of the new indicator – a scientist’s personal impact rate – are illustrated by its application to a sample of Estonian researchers.

A LOW TE(A)CH APPROACH TO DIGITAL HUMANITIES

Author(s): Liviu Pop / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Technological fatigue is spreading due to the increased arrays of technological branches and the rapid pace of development. Keeping up with the latest and newest might prove not only difficult and tiring, but also not necessarily recommended to beginners in digital humanities. A more “back to the basis” approach might be more useful for students that don’t have technical backgrounds.

A Method for Modeling a Schema for Graph Databases

Author(s): Peretz Shoval / Language(s): English / Issue: VIII/2018

The recent decade had brought about massive growth in the Web and Web data - pictures, documents, videos and more. What worked well for years with relational databases is not well suited for the unstructured massive amounts of data and applications that are part of the Web, such as social networks. As a result, new types of database have emerged, including NoSQL (“not only SQL”) databases. Graph data-bases are one type of NoSQL database.

A Monte Carlo Method for Image Classification Using SVM

Author(s): Emanouil Atanassov,Aneta Karaivanova,Sofiya Ivanovska,Mariya Durchova / Language(s): English / Issue: XI/2021

Support Vector Machines are a widely used tool in Machine Learning. They have some important advantages with regards to the more popular Deep Neural Networks. For the problem of image classification, multiple SVMs may be used and the issue of finding the best hyperparameters adds additional complexity and increases the overall computational time required. Our goal is to develop and study Monte Carlo algorithms that allow faster discovery of good hyperparameters and training of the SVMs, without impacting negatively the final accuracy of the models. We also employ GPUs and parallel computing in order to achieve good utilisation of the capabilities of the available hardware. In this paper we describe our methods, provide implementation details and show numerical results, achieved on the publicly available Architectural Heritage Elements image Dataset.

A Practical Approach to Ascertaining the Accuracy and Resolution of Post Rendered 3D Models Acquired Originally via 3D Digitization

Author(s): Feng Zhao,Soo Choon Loy / Language(s): English / Issue: VII/2017

3D digitization is becoming the norm in the preservation of tangible cultural properties be it movable or immovable. In the case of mobile cultural objects, 3D models are normally acquired through non-destructive methods such as photogrammetry or 3D scanning using structured light or laser. The continuing improvements in scanning equipment which result in higher accuracy and resolution can be translated to mean higher level of 3D data acquired. At times, the quantity of 3D data of a single model can get too large and beyond what a normal work-station can process. This is where optimization comes in. However, the level of optimization will vary to suit the final purpose or usage of the 3D model. During optimization, the resulting optimized 3D model is bound to suffer from some level of data loss when compared to the original 3D model acquired directly from laser scanning. This paper discusses a practical method devised by Amber Digital Solutions in maintaining a high level of accuracy of the final optimized model for national archival purposes which requires the highest form of quality.

A SHORT HISTORY OF COMPUTER USE AT FACULTY OF PHYSICS – UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST

Author(s): Mircea Victor Rusu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

For physicists computing is a main activity. Starting from devising an experiment to problem solving with computer, from using mathematical tables to other aids to computation, physics has grown its strength by using each step the numerical computation. So, computing for researches as well as education was used and steadily improved by us, starting from first minicomputers to the last generation of computers and algorithms. In this presentation we will follow, in short, the evolution of computing, hard and soft, in physics at our faculty. We selected here the main field of interests that was connected with problems showing: programmed solutions, simulations and modeling, computer application and software during the time. Such a time recollection is interesting and surprises me as how diverse and far such activity was done. Examples will be from computation in tradition physics, to biology, chemistry, astronomy, medicine to data processing and visualization, data management, to create our own educational software and so on. The fields as nonlinear dynamics, complexity, chaos and fractals, as well as fluid dynamics, atomic, molecular or nuclear physics, earth or stellar physics, connected to improvement of the experiments and devices via artificial intelligence are some of our topics which will be exemplified here.

ADAPTACIJA PROSTORA ZA SMJEŠTAJ ARHIVSKE GRAĐE U ARHIVU TUZLANSKOG KANTONA

Author(s): Saneta Adrović / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian / Issue: 11/2008

Accepting archival material from its owners in accordance with relevant legal regulation archives can not achieve without access to suitable archival space (archival depo's). This issue had been influencing dynamics of accepting the material during past in all Bosnian-Herzegovian archives, Archive Tuzla included, which ultimately reflected on the state of archival material in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We believe that is mistake of archive's founders but also society as a whole. In the absence of organized social care for ensuring adequate archival space archives in the past, and even now, forced to find solutions themselves. With huge efforts some inadequate objects are obtained, often in an unsuitable locations. Such example is the Archive of Tuzla Canton. Objects that are provided to the Archive for ten years use are not satisfying considering location (place where army resided), space (ten kilometres distance from our main building), or construction (object created for other purposes). However, since no better solution could be found, the Archive took these objects, adapted them and used them for storing less important archival material, thus creating the possibility to use Archive's suitable, central depo for first category material. All these activities have been achieved thanks to great enthusiasm of the Archive's employees, which is a positive example how with our own effort a contribution to protection of cultural and historical heritage can be successfully achieved.
